DADDY’S HOBBY Yacht Description
-
Extensive water sports selection:
Includes kayak (3 pax), paddleboard, wakeboard, adult & kid water skis, floating mats, tube & beach games. -
Hydraulic swim platform and forward cockpit with folding bimini:
Easy water access plus shaded lounging areas ideal for family togetherness and luxury relaxation. -
Full air conditioning and onboard Wi-Fi:
Comfortably cool interiors with internet connectivity suit guests wanting luxury and to stay connected on Greek sea explorations.
This is what you’re really booking: a freshly refitted Lagoon 560 with a full-beam owner’s suite that opens straight onto the aft deck, a huge flybridge “upper lounge” for living upstairs all day, and a crew that actually knows how to use the BBQ and the bar, not just point at them.
Space-to-price hack: DADDY’S HOBBY sleeps up to 8 guests in 4 proper ensuite cabins (1 master + 3 queens) with full headroom and walk‑around beds, so every adult gets a real cabin, not a converted broom cupboard. The master comes with its own office/dressing area and private aft-deck access—your own side-door to the sea.
Refit reality, not brochure fiction: launched 2014, systematically upgraded since 2021, with a 2024 refresh including gelcoat, interior, teak and new engines. Translation: the boat feels current, the systems work, and you’re not funding a nostalgia project.
Liveability > gimmicks: fully air‑conditioned, extensive fridges and freezers, double watermakers, strong Wi‑Fi, satellite TV, big media library and proper indoor/outdoor audio. Cockpit and forward lounge are both well‑shaded and on one level with the galley, so the boat actually works for long, lazy days on board.
Play mode engaged: fast RIB tender with 50hp, adult and kids’ water skis, wakeboard, paddleboard, kayaks, snorkel gear, underwater camera and a pile of floaty stuff and beach games. Fishing fans get big‑game rods; divers can plug into rendezvous diving without turning the yacht into a dive shop.
Serious about food: the galley is set up more like a restaurant backline than a holiday kitchenette—BBQ, coffee kit and a menu that runs from Spanakopita and grilled shrimps to mussel risotto, seafood spaghetti and full dessert overload (tiramisu cups, chocolate soufflé, champagne mousse, the works). Special diets are handled on request, not ignored.
Crew as core hardware: skippered by a Yachtmaster with decades of sailing and charter experience, backed by a proactive deck/stew team. English‑speaking, child‑friendly, and comfortable running anything from family weeks to more adult‑themed charters (yes, including nude/gay charters).
Who this yacht actually suits: groups of 6–8 adults or families who want maximum space per guest, strong comfort, real water sports and restaurant‑level food, without paying tri‑deck-superyacht money for the privilege.

Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a sailing catamaran like DADDY’S HOBBY, the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price (€3,000 - €5,250), making the charter cost €18,000 to €20,250. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.

Crew
Captain
Steward - Deckhand
Captain: Ivan Sorrentino
Ivan grew up threaded into Sicilian boatyards and open water, so he drives DADDY'S HOBBY with a builder’s eye and a skipper’s nerve, lining up safe, sharp passages so you can lean into the Greek islands without worrying about what’s underneath. He reads the weather, the yacht, and the guests fast, then quietly shapes the day around the best wind, the calmest anchorages, and the kind of swims you’ll remember.
- Italian nationality; born 1981
- 25 years of sailing experience
- 12 years chartering experience in Croatia, Italy, and Greece
- Yachtmaster Offshore qualified skipper
Panagiotis comes out of the south Athens waterfront scene, where he learned fast that clean lines, quick hands, and straight talk keep guests relaxed and the boat looking sharp. He jumps from deck work to service without missing a beat, backing up the captain and keeping toys, lines, and guests dialed in around the Greek sun.
- Greek nationality
- Holds an Offshore Sailing License
- Former day-catamaran skipper in Greece for 2 seasons
- Background in Economics and Sustainable Development studies

Reviews
The Boat: Daddy's Hobby is a large Catamaran that comfortably sleeps 8 (we were seven), not including the crew. First of all, the crew keeps this boat immaculately clean. The boat has multiple living/lounging spaces, so you can always find a place to hang out by yourself and read or take in the beautiful scenery. There is a nice sitting areas "indoors" and multiple sitting areas outside. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and the most efficient storage systems I've seen. Literally every little nook and cranny can be used for storage. They have paddle boards, kayaks, snorkeling gear, and other accessories to help you enjoy your various stops.
The Crew: The crew was amazing, A+ all around. The boat has a skipper, a first mate/hostess, and a chef.
Andreas was our skipper. He is a very cool, calm and collected skipper. A man of few words, he takes great pride in knowing the Mediterranean like the back of his hand. Once he got to know us, he was great in tailoring our itinerary to what we would like, rather than just going through a one-size-fits-all agenda. He always knew the best (and secluded) swimming areas, the most scenic beaches, and the best times to travel. He is a top notch skipper. One of my favorite things to do on this trip was to go up to the flying bridge while in transit with a nice glass of whiskey and chat with Andreas about our route, boating, the islands, or life in general. Like I said, he is a top notch skipper.
Lina is the boat's first mate/hostess. She maintains order on the boat and makes sure everyone is having a great time. She speaks many different languages, and makes sure everyone knows the safety protocols and rules of the boat. She also has a knack for knowing when you need your next cocktail or when it's time for a snack. She makes sure the boat is always in the best condition, yet you will never notice her doing it. She also has great recommendations for when the boat docks at a new island.
The chef on the boat was fantastic. He was trained in London, I believe, working in fine dining restaurants. Each meal was a fantastic one, with various themes. Each time we would go to a port that had a market, he would get fresh ingredients and we would eat amazing Greek foods. All-in-all, I think we had one or two meals off the boat because his food was just that good. And do not ever worry about there being not enough food!
Overall the crew as an A+ and made the vacation feel like we were amongst friends. I can't stress the importance of this enough.
Itinerary: We did a seven day cruise along the Cyclades Islands. Our highlights included Syros (unique amongst the Cyclades with its beautiful marble streets), Kythnos (with its vibrant nightlife), Milos (its most breathtaking views), and Kea (with it's great swimming and where we had an amazing Greek seafood dinner at one of Andreas's good friend's restaurant). My suggestion is to listen to the skipper, as he knows what you want to see and knows where to take you. Trust in him and you will have a blast, especially if the sea is not agreeing with your plans.
Overall, if you are thinking about doing this trip do it! It was a trip of a lifetime, and a lot of it had to do with Daddy's Hobby and its crew. They are very professional, yet make you feel like you are at home.
Thank you very much!
