Elba 45 catamaran charter Kos opens the Dodecanese aboard a Fountaine Pajot cruising catamaran, run bareboat from Marina Kos. Sail her yourself or add a skipper for the week. Thirteen metres of easy-handling sailing catamaran, six cabins deep, built for shallow, sunlit island time.
The Elba 45 is Fountaine Pajot’s compact cruising catamaran, and this is a 2021 hull in the six-cabin charter layout. She carries the yard’s hallmarks: a forward cockpit lounge on the foredeck, a flybridge with helm and sunbeds above, and a saloon that runs flush with the cockpit on one level. Easy to sail short-handed, roomy enough for two families.
She measures 13.41 m overall on a 7.62 m beam and draws just 1.22 m. That shoal draught is the point in these waters — it opens the shallow, sand-bottomed anchorages that keep deeper monohulls offshore. Twin 40 hp diesels handle harbours and calms; a full-batten mainsail and furling genoa do the rest. A watermaker, generator and electric winches make her straightforward to run and independent at anchor.
Kos sits mid-Dodecanese, a natural base with its own airport and a short hop to the Turkish coast. From the marina the classic circuit opens up: the volcanic caldera of Nisyros, the monastery bays of Astypalaia, the long beaches of Kos itself, and the sheltered coves of Kalymnos and Leros.
Plan the week around wind and appetite. Sail in the morning, anchor over clear sand for lunch, and take the tender ashore for dinner at a harbour taverna. Aquinox can arrange boat-in dining at kitchens that sit at the water’s edge and hold the table for your arrival.
The six-cabin layout sleeps up to ten guests in four double cabins plus two further cabins, with five heads and separate showers. Air conditioning runs throughout, powered by the onboard generator. The saloon is glazed on every side, bright and cool, with a full galley aft.
The Kos season opens in late April and closes at the end of October. The meltemi blows hardest through July and August, which suits a catamaran reaching between the islands but fills the popular bays. Late May, June and September are the calmer weeks. The rate covers the yacht, tender and outboard, linen, and the berth at Marina Kos on changeover day. Fuel, island harbour dues, provisioning and a skipper sit outside it. Kalymnos, Pserimos and Nisyros are short hops from the marina, and Bodrum is close enough to add with notice.
The shoal draught is what makes the week. It puts her over sand in bays the monohulls have to pass, and it gets the tender in close at the small quays on Pserimos and Telendos where the tavernas take deliveries by boat and cook what came in that morning. Plan the days around the wind and the table, in that order, and the Elba 45 does the rest.

Kos sits in the middle of the Dodecanese, which makes it the easiest island to start from. An Elba 45 catamaran charter Kos can run north to Kalymnos and Leros, south to Nisyros, or east into the Turkish bays near Bodrum. Most of those legs are 2 to 4 hours, so an Elba 45 catamaran charter Kos rarely spends a full day under way.
The wind builds through the afternoon in high summer. An Elba 45 catamaran charter Kos is easy to handle in that, and the shallow draft lets you tuck into bays where deeper boats cannot anchor.
The Elba 45 carries 4 guest cabins with their own heads, a wide cockpit and a flat foredeck. An Elba 45 catamaran charter Kos therefore suits 2 families or a group of friends who want their own space at night and one big table at dinner.
An Elba 45 catamaran charter Kos comes with a skipper and can be provisioned before you arrive. An Elba 45 catamaran charter Kos is priced by the week, and the route is set with you on the first morning rather than fixed in advance.
