ANDIAMO

Summer in Greece, winter in the Red Sea. ANDIAMO works the Cyclades, Saronic Gulf, and Dodecanese from spring through autumn out of Athens, then ships south for a full season in El Gouna over the winter months. She is a 14.75-metre Lagoon 50 from 2019, built as a sailing catamaran for ten-guest charters.

Ten guests sleep across five cabins, four of them queens with memory-foam mattresses and en-suite heads, plus a smaller fifth double sized for a child or a single guest. Cabins are air-conditioned with 2.05-metre headroom, and four full bathrooms serve the layout.

Captain Grigoris Papathanasis is Greek, born in 1993, and has been skippering professionally since 2018. He runs the boat alongside Stamatis Katsiadramis, the chef and host, also Greek, who has been cooking since 2008 with training picked up abroad. The two-person setup keeps the operation intimate and the guest-to-crew ratio at five.

The toy inventory is built around the water and a fishing-led programme, with a 3.8-metre ZAR tender on a 20-horsepower Yamaha, two paddleboards, a kayak, a sea scooter, snorkel gear, fishing equipment, and an inflatable tube. The hydraulic swim platform and boarding ladder simplify the in-and-out.

She cruises at seven knots with a 25-litre-per-hour fuel burn, and weekly rates run €15,000 to €19,000 plus expenses, depending on season.
