When Our Own Fleet Isn't Quite The Right FitAn extended, vetted network of catamarans, sailing yachts, and luxury platforms we book on your behalf when the DanEri-owned fleet doesn't cover the day.

Bigger group, a boat style we don't own, or a date sold out on our core fleet? Our partner network fills the gap — every boat personally inspected, every captain interviewed, booked through the same DanEri planning flow.

Three reasons people land here instead of on Our Fleet

Our own catamarans handle most days at sea. The partner fleet exists for the days they can't.

1

Your group is bigger than our boats take

Our owned catamarans seat up to 20 guests comfortably. For 21–40 — bachelor parties, company outings, multi-family charters — we book a larger platform from the partner network and run the day with our crew style.

2

You want a boat style we don't own

Monohull sailing yachts, smaller agile catamarans, or a specific luxury platform that fits the vibe you're planning. The partners bring the vessel — we plan the day around it.

3

Your dates are sold out on our own fleet

July and August, weekend sunsets — our own boats get booked months out. Rather than say no, we pull from the partner pool that matches your port, boat style, and budget.

 How We Vet Partner Boats

A partner boat is only on this list if it could be on our own

We don't resell marketplace listings. Every boat that appears in the partner network has passed four checks, run by our own captains and shoreside team.

Step 1

Physical inspection

A DanEri captain boards the boat, checks the interior, safety kit, life raft, engine room, and galley condition before the season.

Step 2

A test sail

We take the boat out in real conditions. Handling, comfort at anchor, deck flow, shade, and swim-platform access all matter to the day.

Step 3

Paperwork review

Current insurance, passenger certificate, port licence, and crew qualifications — verified before the boat takes a single DanEri booking.

Step 4

Captain interview

We sit with the captain. Service style, languages spoken, Greek-coast experience, and whether the day feels guest-first rather than transport-first.

Real boats by port, not a generic catalog

Exact availability rotates by date and captain schedule, but the shortlist starts from the named vessels guests already see across the DanEri fleet pages.

Partner-fleet FAQ

Do I pay DanEri or the partner directly?

DanEri. You get one quote, one booking flow, one point of contact. We settle with the partner behind the scenes — you never have to chase a third party for changes or refunds.

Is the service standard the same as on the DanEri-owned fleet?

Very close, with one honest caveat — partner captains are the boat's owner or long-time skipper, not DanEri employees. We pick partners whose service style matches ours, but the captain's personality is their own. If you want the exact DanEri crew experience, pick from Our Fleet.

Can I still customise food, drinks, and the route on a partner boat?

Yes. Menu, bar, stops, and timing are set by the DanEri shoreside team on your booking, not by the partner. The partner operates the boat; the day is ours to plan with you.

What's the biggest group you can accommodate?

Around 40 guests on a single platform. For larger events we combine two or three boats in a flotilla — same day, same route, guests distributed across vessels. Ask for the flotilla quote.

Can I see the partner boat in person before booking?

For longer charters and events, yes — especially in Kissamos, Rethymno, and Heraklion. For standard day cruises we send photos, specs, and a short video walk-through instead.
