Eli | Oceanis 51.1 sailboat rental

Configured with five cabins, one dedicated crew cabin, and three heads, this sailboat accommodates up to 13 people, making the layout well suited for large families, couples sailing together, or groups of friends. Her overall length of 15.94 m (52 ft) provides noticeable extra living space on board compared with smaller monohulls, giving everyone comfortable shared areas alongside private sleeping arrangements. Built in 2024 by Bénéteau, the Oceanis 51.1 Eli has a draft of 2.36 m (8 ft).

Offered for both bareboat and skippered charter, Eli is based in Volos, where you can set sail directly into the calm waters of the Pagasetic Gulf before heading east toward the islands of the Sporades in Greece. This area provides sheltered anchorages, short passages between islands, and traditional harbor quays to explore.

Navigation and sail handling are supported by a full batten mainsail, an autopilot, and a single engine complemented by a bow thruster for controlled marina maneuvers. For onboard comfort, she features air conditioning powered by an onboard generator, alongside electric toilets and a freezer. An inverter and solar panels support battery health at anchor, extending time between port calls. She is operated and managed by the charter company Istion Yachting.
