Valium 55: A Luxury Catamaran Charter Through Greece's Islands

The Valium 55 is a 54-foot Lagoon catamaran based in Greece, offered for crewed charter through myGreekCharter. The video provides an interior and exterior walkthrough of the vessel, showcasing its layout, cabins, galley, flybridge, and water sports equipment. This experience suits travelers seeking all-inclusive luxury sailing in the Cyclades—couples wanting romantic getaways, small groups or families of up to 10 guests, and anyone interested in combining relaxation with active water sports.

The charter includes a professional captain, deckhand, and chef, removing the need for navigation or meal planning expertise. Seven-day itineraries explore Greek islands with crystal-clear waters, and the catamaran's twin hulls and dual 115-horsepower engines provide stability and fuel efficiency. This is ideal for those who want the freedom of sailing without the responsibility of operating the vessel themselves.

Justin’s Take

This video is genuinely helpful because it does more than sell the vessel—it provides a detailed walkthrough from crew members who know the boat intimately, pointing out practical details like headroom, fuel consumption, and equipment specifications that matter when committing to a week-long charter. The deckhand's narrative is conversational and transparent, covering both strengths (engine efficiency, water sports variety) and honest notes (minor engine noise in the aft cabin).

What impressed me most was seeing the water sports arsenal—especially the new seaScooter with night-vision capability for underwater filming. The mirror-hull design and dual master cabins are smart features for groups where couples want privacy and equal accommodations. If you're ready to trade a hotel for a floating base in Greece, this video makes a compelling case. I'd recommend booking soon; luxury catamaran charters in the Cyclades fill quickly during peak season.

[Music] hello everyone welcome to Lagoon 55 of Athenian Yachts my name is Janice I'm the deck hand of the boat a captain fivos he's pretty busy as always and we have the chef constantinos a he's one of the best chefs actually in a Greek yachting so if you want to let me introduce you to the boat

so we have a high field for 20. it has a 60 a horsepower engine it's very convenient for all the water sports the boat requires we also have this base in the back it's an attachment that really helps to secure all the the water sport equipment and give you the best experience you probably ever

had in your life so please come and try now going to the interior of the boat feels free to show we have a six cabins five guest cabins double all of them that means 10 people as guests it's a mirror boat so everything you're gonna have to the port side you're going to see exactly the same on the starboard side like we're gonna have the time to show it

to you if the cameraman wants to go downstairs feel free to do so here we have the the setup a good setup made from our chef concertinas feel free to proceed [Music] so soon you're gonna see on the left the port middle cabin it's a double double

cabin that you can have either splitted beds either one big double bed the frame goes off and you can connect the two beds together to make it a bigger one it depends on what the guests prefer now moving up to the next cabin [Music] this is the VIP cabin it's pretty similar to the

master as I told you it's a mirror bolt so everything I have on the port side you actually have on the starboard side so you can consider to have two muscle cabins on the boat so this is one of it an example and also the shower it's very convenient [Music] good measurement if you would like I'm 192 in meters and you can see how tall I am when

the camera turns around and so you can see almost two meters and I still have a huge gap from the ceiling so you can understand it's a pretty huge room making it the master cabin of Lagoon 55. so would you like to go and see up to the fly bridge area

[Music] the big gully we're gonna also have some new adjustments coming before the chartering season begins we're gonna put some more of these all around to get some more storages so we can offer even more than the accessories that you see now and moving up to the fly bridge

where you will see all the sails that the boat has the Wheelhouse please if you want you can follow me [Music] [Music] so first of all in case you're bored of an ordinary dinner table down to the cockpit

area in the main Saloon you can always have the fresh Breeze of the Italian sea up to the fly bridge enjoying the sails we have open tops where you can see through the beautiful sails of the boat bringing it from France we did this trip about one month ago believe me the boat travels insanely good with the sails it's a very good Sailing Boat here we

have the Wheelhouse the engines are also pretty good Nami is a 115 horsepower each with a very low consumption of about 5.9 liters per hour each that makes it about 12 liters per hour on a cruising speed of about 8 knots per hour it's a very very economic I would say both if you know about the consumptions I'm sure you understand and if you would like

we can also see the beautiful water sport equipment we can go all around thank you [Music] foreign [Music]

sport equipment we have this small surprise I've only sold you four cabins in total so over here on port and starboard just to say again we have a mirror boat so this is The Cabin in the aft it's also pretty convenient we have a lot of sound control from the engines that are right underneath me at the moment so you don't really listen too much but you

know selling boats are not as big as motor yards so you have some sound and some vibration but it's really nothing [Music] disturbing I would say foreign

and the last thing that the boat indicates is the water sports so please follow me no no [Music] so over here you can see two standard paddle Subs that one is on the other side

you can also have some seats put it on here so you can have a seated paddle in case you prefer we have a kanoi kayak it's for two people it's also very very convenient the aquamarine has that has done an excellent job preparing those for us and I will have all the snorkeling equipment with this new design [Music] I love this it's amazing if

you have tried it you know what I mean we always have the vests the helmets some goggles if you like we have two pairs of skis double skis that can be used as one as you can see over here you can use it as a one ski most of them we have the wakeboard we have the doubles keys

are adjustable so even if you have a size 46 or a 38 it works for you perfectly and now this is a new thing in the market I'm sure most of you guys are familiar with the sibob this is a new equipment much more convenient much more light it gives you much more battery capacity so you can enjoy it much more in the water and it goes either on its own either

as you can see on the other one it has a base with some night vision on you can put in your phone it has a specific mechanism here so you can take all the pictures that you want underwater either you can adjust one two and three GoPro cameras very nice I usually have to try this here but I'm sure it's going to stick with us a lot of years in the yoding

industry and also last but not least we have a big sofa with the 60 horsepower we can take up to three people on it if you ask me two people it's much better so you can enjoy a little bit more acceleration and speed and all of it you understand so this is all guys my name is Janice I will be your direct hand in case you want to join us feel free to do

so thank you very much hi I'm Marcel over the last 10 years dma yachting has charted 1 000 crude Yachts have a look around take a look at the boats we have on offer look at our trust pilot reviews and once you're done with that why not inquire with our broker assistance [Music]
