UTOPIA

Kos Marina is home port for UTOPIA, which puts the Dodecanese right on her doorstep, from the volcanic caldera of Nisyros in the south to Leros, Lipsi and Patmos further north. She is a Lagoon 55 sailing catamaran launched in 2024, with naval architecture by VPLP, exterior lines by Patrick le Quément and interiors by Nauta Design.

Life on board is spread across three outdoor areas. The flybridge carries the helm, a table and lounge seating with views over the anchorage, so the captain and guests share the same deck when she is under way. The aft cockpit has a second table for long lunches in the shade, while a U-shaped lounge on the foredeck gives guests a quieter spot forward of the saloon.

Inside, the light-filled saloon opens onto the cockpit. Eight guests sleep in four queen cabins, each with its own en-suite bathroom. Full air conditioning, a generator and a watermaker keep her comfortable through a week of nights at anchor in the island coves.

Captain Takis Karapanos runs the boat with a hostess and cook plus a deckhand. Two Seabobs and two sea scooters cover the underwater side, with snorkelling gear for the bays and fishing gear for the evenings. Paddleboards, a wakeboard, adult water skis and towable donuts handle the rest of the programme. The tender tows the riders.

UTOPIA can also start her charters from Mykonos or Athens on request.
