ONEIDA Yacht Description
-
Flybridge sun deck with dual access:
Extra entertainment and sunbathing space offering amazing panoramic views for everyone onboard. -

Full air conditioning and WiFi onboard:
Keeps guests cool and connected, perfect for luxury relaxation or mixing work with pleasure.
Start with the main cheat code: ONEIDA is a 2020 Lagoon 52 catamaran that gives you the “big yacht” lifestyle—flybridge, foredeck lounge, serious water toys and a private chef—without the big‑yacht crew of eight and a support vessel in tow.
Space-to-guest ratio is the real selling point. She sleeps 10 guests in 5 VIP cabins, all with private bathrooms and full air‑conditioning, run by a crew of three. Translation: you’re not paying for empty cabins or invisible service layers—you’re paying for a boat that’s actually sized to how families and small groups travel.
Outside is where ONEIDA quietly wins. You get three proper social zones: a flybridge with dual access for sunset and sail‑watching, a wide foredeck for beanbags and yoga sessions, and an aft cockpit that behaves like the main living room. No awkward “where do we all sit” moment; the layout is built for everyone to be outside at once without collision.
Toys are not theoretical. Two paddleboards, wakeboard, adult and kids’ waterskis, towable tubes, snorkelling gear and fishing kit mean the tender isn’t just for transfers—it’s your launch platform. Add in optional yoga on deck and you have a boat that actually entertains people who can’t sit still.
The punchline is the galley. ONEIDA runs with a dedicated chef turning out proper Greek and Mediterranean menus—think lobster spaghetti, octopus with Santorini fava, homemade breakfast spreads and pastry‑level desserts. If you care more about what’s on the plate than what’s on the TV, this is the correct hull.
Why charter ONEIDA instead of another 50‑something cat: newer build (2020), all‑ensuite five‑cabin layout, full‑time three‑person crew, flybridge plus foredeck living, real toy list and a chef who treats “onboard food” like a restaurant, not a survival requirement.

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 ONEIDA, the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price (€3,700 - €6,475), making the charter cost €22,200 to €24,975. 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: Sotiris Drokalos
Sotiris grew up welded to the water and drives ONEIDA with the easy control of someone who has logged hard miles in real seas, so you get confident passages and tight, safe calls even when the breeze turns tricky. He keeps the mood light but the watch serious, so your holiday feels loose while the boat runs razor-sharp.
- Greek nationality
- Born in 1981
- Over 10 years’ experience as captain on sailing vessels in the Atlantic and Mediterranean
- Fluent in Greek (native) and English
Gregory builds menus that track the rhythm of the day—clean, bright Greek flavors when you come out of the water, slower layered plates when the sun drops—so every meal locks you deeper into the islands instead of just feeding you. He listens hard to what you like, then threads it through a sharp Mediterranean food game.
- Greek nationality
- Over 10 years of professional culinary experience
- Graduate of Le Monde Culinary School, Athens
- Head Chef background in notable shore-based establishments
Harris keeps the decks tight and the toys flowing, moving fast and quiet so lines, ladders, and gear are where you need them before you even look. He runs guest service with easy talk and sharp focus, turning every swim stop and anchorage into a smooth, no-effort move for you.
- Fluent in Greek and English
- Experienced in daily operations on sailing catamarans

Where to begin? We have had the most wondeful trip with you all. Beautiful scenery, blue waters, pretty villages, all directed by So and your team. Every stop became our favourite, so I name one would be difficult as each one has happy memories.
Thank you for the delicious food, so well prepared by Gregory. Thank you for all the drinks that Harris so excellently prepared, especially the Gins! Haris thank you also for making our rooms so clean and welcoming everyday and also for your sense of humour! Captain So, you showed off your beautiful country in style. This was our first Greek sailing trip and we will be back again to Greece as it is more heartful than Croatia.
Thank you for a very special and memorable week!

The Sporades offered us wonderful landscapes and unforgettable days. But what truly made this experience so special was you! With your hospitality and great spirit.
Thank you for making us feel safe and cared for. We will forever remember your patience with our mom Antonella. Her little knowledge of English gave us hilarious and unforgettable memories, making the atmosphere even more joyful and familiar.
We will go back home with our hearts full of gratitude for all of you and a smile when we think of these days together (thank you for the DISCO!)

I didn't get to hang on Oneida for very long but the few days I've had have left me with 3 conclusions :
1. Maria is a future Master chef winner,
2. Ellie is the closest thing to superwoman this side of the Equator and
3. Enough reggae can drive anyone crazy!
Thank you so much Sotiris , Ellie and Maria for leaving me wanting more!

Lots of love , your favorite Aerospace Engineer.

Dear Sotiris , Penelope and Kostas ,
Words cannot do justice to the fantastic experiences you create.

You have created memories and moments that will live long in our heads and minds.
Here's to many more years of successful collaboration.
These are the good days!
Euharisto!
James.
