Athos I Motor Sailer

The motor sailer Athos I measures 203ft (62m) and was built in 2010 by Holland Jachtbouw. Combining the romance of sail with the reliability of engine power, she carries 5 cabins – 1 King, 2 Queen and 2 Twin – for 10 overnight guests, with day charter capacity for 12. A crew of 10 manages all sailing and guest service, ensuring a smooth experience whether under canvas or under power.

Sailing & Comfort

What sets a motor sailer apart is the experience of moving under canvas when conditions allow, then switching to power for calm days or tight schedules. Athos I cruises at 10 knots and offers an outdoor cinema among her features. The deck gives front-row seats to the sailing action while keeping dining and lounging areas accessible and sheltered. For guests who want to get involved, the crew is happy to teach the basics of sail handling; for those who prefer to spectate, the spacious deck offers the perfect vantage point.

Activities

8 water toys including water skis, a wakeboard, and towable inflatables are on board, with the Beach Tender available for shore excursions and coastal exploration. Anchoring under sail in a quiet bay, then spending the afternoon snorkeling or paddleboarding – motor sailers like Athos I make this effortless. The crew handles all equipment and logistics throughout.

Cruising Caribbean

Athos I charters across Antigua and Barbuda, Martinique, St Lucia, Grenadines, Guadeloupe and Grenada in the Caribbean, repositioning seasonally to follow the best wind patterns and cruising conditions. The best months for chartering are Jan, Feb, Mar, Dec. Motor sailers are particularly well suited to regions with steady winds and sheltered coastline, and the captain selects routes that balance sailing quality with scenic beauty – each day shaped by the wind and the group’s interests.
