Three of the people on board the yacht were rescued by a Hellenic Navy SuperPuma helicopter and were being taken to Kotroni, Marathonas, while the fourth was picked up by a tanker bound for Elefsina.
The yacht lost its engine and its sails were torn near the islet of Agios Georgios, in difficult conditions with gale-force winds of up to 8-9 Beaufort.
Authorities said a tug boat in the area was now making an effort to salvage the sailing yacht.
