From the moment of initial contact with Captain Yiannis, everything was seamless.

Our experience has been nothing short of exceptional.

From the moment of initial contact with Captain Yiannis, everything was seamless. This company and the entire team could not have been more helpful! We live in the USA and never had a problem with communication. The Catamaran we selected was the Lagoon 450F. It was beautiful, spacious, clean, and easy to live on for a week as we sailed to beautiful beaches.

The Ionian Islands we visited were breathtaking, especially Kefalonia – it was our favorite! Above all, the feeling of safety that Captain George ensured throughout our trip made our journey even more memorable. We can’t wait to experience it again.

So, if you’re looking for an unforgettable sailing experience around the Greek Islands with a professional company and a knowledgeable and friendly guide, look no further!

Timesaving Info
Yacht Charter Greece
Essential Info for Chartering in Greece
Most yachts are based in Athens. The majority of the crewed charter Greece departs from Athens to the Cyclades and the Saronic Gulf. Despite the Cyclades being the most inquired location because of the attractive islands of Mykonos and Santorini, a little research can go a long way for private yacht charters Greece. Firstly, the iconic islands are quite crowded in the peak months and even the limitation of the crew ship numbers hasn’t significantly brought down the visitor numbers to the key islands. The strong Meltemi winds make the journey from Athens a subject of elements, inquire about actually starting in Mykonos and Santorini . As the availability is subject to previous charter ending nearby or ideally in your preferred location, it is advisable to hold the purchase of airline tickets until a boat is secured.
The distances between Greek islands are quite considerable, a crewed motor yacht charter from Athens to Cyclades cruising at 12 knots usually does day hops of 3-4 hours, the time increases for catamarans cruising at ca 6 knots to 4-6 hours. For this reason, many charters, especially involving first time charters, visit the Saronic Gulf – Hydra, Spetses, Poros. It is possible to cross from the Saronic Gulf to the Cyclades, which is usually done when Meltemi changes the plans of yachts from Athens.
The third most popular crewed charter destination in Greece is the Ionian Sea. The fleet of permanent yachts, especially catamarans, is limited. It is possible to charter from Athens, with the decisive factors being the availability of crossing of the Corint Canal which has been closed for reconstruction in 2021, open for only a few months in 2022 and uncertainty about being navigable in 2023.
Selecting Where to Charter in Greece
I want to see Santorini and Mykonos, my tickets are purchased for fixed dates three months from now in August and I need to start and finish in Athens, chartering a catamaran.
This is one of the most common inquiries, and one of the hardest to fulfill. Why?
- Time to charter – with 3 months to charter, your best options are long gone. Ideally book 9-12 months before the charter
- Flights vs Charter Location – with the distance between Athens and Santorini being 150 miles, the itinerary might not be possible due to weather, especially if we want to do Mykonos as well. Ideally, you’ll want to fly to Mykonos or Santorini or at least not plan fixed date island activities.
- Fixed dates- One day up or down can completely change the offer of yachts available – you might need just that one that already has another charter booked for the day before you’re planning to return. It is a great idea to have your charter booked before you purchase your tickets.
- Catamaran and long distances – as someone who does Athens – Santorini fairly regularly, it’s a great sail – for sport sailing. You’re on the open Aegean Sea and hiding behind islands is possible but further increases the distance – count 24 hours of sail one way and divide among the days of charter (24 hours x 2 ways / 7 days = 7 hours of sailing per day with a catamaran). Not a pleasurable experience.
- Time of year – Santorini in August is equivalent to Times Square on New Year’s Eve. It can be a fantastic place if you have the correct expectations. There are 6,000 islands in Greece – plenty of alternatives for high end restaurants, history, Greek cuisine and peaceful or more popular places. Notice places like Milos and Lefkada are being increasingly crowded as well.
- Despite all the above – inquire. We’re well connected with local providers in all areas and are able to provide non-public offers or creatively fulfill your requirements.
When it comes to yacht charters, the price range is about as wide as the open sea itself. The cost depends on factors like the type of yacht, its size, and whether you’re going for an all-inclusive package or not. In this article, we cut through the waves of information and get straight to the point by looking at specific yachts currently available for charter in Greece .
Greece is a country with a rich history and vibrant culture. From ancient ruins and museums to traditional tavernas and folk dances, there’s always something new to discover. Greece has over 6,000 beautiful islands and navigating them is an Odyssey of a lifetime. This article aims to present the best Greek charter itineraries in a logical breakdown.
Boots on The Ground Update: Charter Season 2024 and What's There To Know About Greek Yacht Charters
The summer yacht charter season in Greece is developing in an unexpected manner, with an unprecedented number of higher-end yachts posting price reductions – an unthinkable development given the record-setting 2022 Summer Med Season.
The increased airplane fares are partly to blame, in connection to the ongoing issues in the Greek infrastructure – not enough marinas to match the demand on other islands and continued over-tourism of key Cycladic charter locations. In addition, 2022 and 2023 have seen record increases in the numbers of new yachts – some 235 crewed boats were added to the yacht charter fleet, while most of the older yacht inventory got a refurbishment – in part also due to the EU funds promoting tourism.
The key events in the Greek yacht charter industry in 2024
- The cost of a July airplane ticket went from $900 to $1,400, year over year.
- US inflation of 4-9% year over year weakens the purchasing position of the major charter market
- Continued negative coverage of key Greek areas, from overcrowding of Santorini to DK Oyster restaurant scams on Mykonos continues to dominate the headlines
- Turkey – following the Ukrainian conflicts, Turkey offered a safe haven to many Russian-owned yachts that risked being confiscated in Greece. In addition to the competitive VAT in Turkey (1% in Turkey vs 12% in Greece – in constant threat to be increased to full standard 24% with possible retroactivity of signed charters executed in future) – visit https://myturkishcharter.com for up-to-date and complete yacht offer of Turkish charter yachts. Greece has found itself in between the EU legislators and non-EU Turkish competition.
- Santorini Marina – still in construction, unknown delays
- Corinth Canal – successfully reopened June 22 after repeated construction works on 22 and 23! after walls repeatedly collapsed due to landslides.
- Slow Opening of New Marinas – Licencing issues – limited births restrict navigation of charter vessels
- Inflation of the Charter Fleet following record-setting 2022 yacht returns and EU subsidies for tourism that were leveraged for the purchase of new vessels
- Increase of Ultra High Net Worth Individuals casting a spotlight – just Mykonos has seen Elon Musk, George Clooney, Christian Bale Matt Damon, Chris & Liam Hemsworth.
- New, Upcoming Locations offer an alternative to the – “by now dead romantic idea of Mykonos and Santorini.” Antiparos is a hot charter location frequented by Tom Hanks, Jeff Bezos and Anderson Cooper. Anafi, Ikaria, Kythira, and Nisiros are coming up and the clients are more educated and receptive to the idea of chartering off the beaten and crowded paths.
- A New Client Preference for Secluded Locations – A storm of documentaries have our clients requesting new experiences – we thank My Greek Odyssey and Peter Meneas on a journey of discovering his Kytherian descent and going much beyond and more with his yacht Mia Zoi or Costas Spiliadis – chef and owner of Estatorio Milos with the yacht Milos at Sea enable us to offer new immersive experiences creating not tourists, but travelers.
- New Experiences – from having one or multiple jetskis onboard your yacht to chartering a Greek temple for your event, things are just easier to do in Greece. We’ve considerably expanded our concierge offering to accommodate requests ranging from beach horseback riding and spearfishing to luxury cars and entertainment events.
A luxury motor yacht is the fastest and often most comfortable way to reach your destination in style. With plenty of space for large groups, a full crew to take care of your every need, and a wide range of water toys, you can just sit back and enjoy the ride in your crewed motor yacht charter!
Luxurious sailing yacht is one of the most exhilarating and rewarding ways to explore the seas. Powered by he wind, sailboats require less fuel and engage all your senses. You will feel like a true adventurer as you watch your destination come into view.
Santorini is one of the main magnets for a charter to Greece. The iconic panoramic views over the Three Bells of Fira church belong to the most recognized places in the world. However, it’s not that easy to get there. Santorini is on the outer ridge of the Southern Cyclades facing Crete and charters from Athens are always weather dependent. When to go, where to start your charter, and how to make your Santorini yacht charter a success? We’ve summarized the information here.

If you’re looking for a less-crowded, more authentic Greek yacht charter experience, you’ve come to the right place. The Dodecanese islands are the perfect place to unwind on your next vacation.

Ionian Islands
Located on the western part of the Greek mainland, the Ionian complex of islands comprises well-known spots such as Corfu and Zante, as well as the lesser-known islands of Ithaki, Kefalonia, and Paxi.
The culture, cuisine, and language of the islands are influenced by both Greek and Italian culture. When it comes to sailing spots, you can expect crystal clear waters with beautiful aquamarine colors that contrast with the lush vegetation. If you enjoy water spots, snorkeling or scuba diving are both great options!
The Ionian islands are a great alternative to the Cyclades during the hot summer months since they are not affected by the Meltemi winds.

The main charter season in Greece is relatively long, spanning from April to September, with a peak in July and August. Notice the interesting months of March and October, which offer a nice combination of “water warm enough to swim” and out of season prices.
What does yacht charter mean?
Yacht charter and boat rental are synonyms of one another. Most yacht charters start on Saturday and are usually rented for 7 nights/8 days. Therefore, most of the prices on this website are weekly. It is possible to arrange a shorter or a longer charter or start on a different day. Another aspect of yacht charters in Greece is the currency. All the charter prices are shown in Euro (€) to adjust the exchange rate fluctuation.
All yacht charters from Greece have insurance for deposit forfeiture and sometimes for trip cancellation.

- faust_dan 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles a dream week with Sailing Blue and Periklis Gkikas with an almost brand new Lagoon 450F catamaran We literally had a dream week with Sailing Blue and Periklis Gkikas with an almost brand new Lagoon 450F catamaran from August 1 to 7, 2020 departing and returning to Milos, Greece. When you go with small children and people who have little sailing experience and have few days of holidays each year, you really have to find the right person, the one who will make sure you are constantly sailing safe and who will do everything to make your week as enjoyable as possible. However, given the multitude of yacht charter offers with a skipper, it is a bit of a lottery to find the right person. For my part, I met Periklis Gkikas at the 2019 boat show in Paris. From the start, I appreciated his seriousness and professionalism. Unlike others, he was very clear on what we could do in 1 week from Milos and offered us several options (departure port, routes, etc.). He didn't try to "oversell" what might happen during our stay. We were even able to discuss together the possible thorny points of a stay in August, namely the meltem (north wind) which can blow very strongly in August and also the question of mooring in the port which can be complicated due to the crowds in August (which was not really the case this last summer because of the travel restrictions due to the covid19 pandemic). During the 1st lockdown, we stayed in contact with Periklis and he kept us constantly informed of the modalities for entering Greece during the pandemic. On the 1st day, Periklis was early so we could join him earlier on the catamaran at the port of Milos. The refueling done, we were able to leave for a dream week where Periklis was able, every day of the week, to maximize between our desires to visit such and such a place or to stop to swim and enjoy the sea, the weather of the day and the time available to us. In addition, we did not have to do any wild mooring because Periklis found us a safe place in a port every evening. Very important also, Periklis did not stop worrying about our comfort throughout the week and therefore made an effort to steer the catamaran with calm and discernment, avoiding the constant changes of course and tackings unnecessary. This is extremely enjoyable, especially for people with little sailing experience on board, for children. At no time during the week did we feel at risk. Safety, comfort on board and seriousness are the fundamental and real values of Sailing Blue and Periklis Gkikas. Our week of catamaran in the Cyclades has been idyllic and we look forward to leaving with Sailing Blue and Periklis to continue to visit Greece, this magnificent destination which we fell in love with.

- Description
offer yourself the dream, a private cruise by catamaran to some of the most well known and off-beat greek islands. Swim in the middle of Aegean, benefit of isolated beaches, explore the history and traditions through organized shore excursions. A trip that you'll remember forever
17.00 leave Athens (Alimos Marina) and sail to Kea (or Tzia) an off-beat, less discovered island of Aegean. The capital of the island Loulis is situated on a hill due to the fear of pirates in the past. The town and largest villages Korisia (port) and Vourkari are charming settlements mostly with neoclassical buildings- Overnight Kea
Today we sail to Kythnos, an island of 100 km shoreline with great, crystal clear waters. Kythnos has barely 676 permanent inhabitants and its history stretches back to the Mesolithic era. The castle of Orias and Katafiki cave are some of the highlights of the island- Overninght Kythnos
We continue our exploration to Syros, capital island of Cyclades and most populated. All though this is the largest island during our cruise you will be charmed by the beauty of Neoclassical homes and the wealth of Syros, mostly coming from shipping. Syros is also a cultural destination with many ongoing art exhibitions and cultural events- Overnight Syros
Today we visit Mykonos, perhaps the most well known Greek island. This destination of the international Jet Set offers everything: quite and vibrating beaches with ongoing beach parties, crystal clear waters, haute cuisine restaurants, a fascinating island town to explore, shopping options and unlimited nightlife- Overnight Mykonos
We continue on to Tinos. Centrally situated among the other Cycladic islands, Tinos is well known for its cathedral, Panagia Evangelistra, a holy church for the Greek orthodox community.
Tinos offers great, unspoiled beaches, such as Kolibithra. Dovecotes (tiny fortresses) and about 80 windmills are some of the interesting points of the island- Overnight Tinos
Today we return for an extra day in Kea. You shall enjoy the peace and great beaches of the island at your own pace, relax under the Cycladic sun or, if you wish, visit with your cruise fellows a local taverna to savor the original recipes of the island. Overnight Kea
Its time to return to Athens..(09.00).It is a pity after this exciting exploration of the Aegean islands, one of the top travel destinations in the world. But don’t worry. An extension of your package can be offered in Athens after your cruise (or before) to explore the Greek capital that has marked the western civilization – End of Cruise (Athens- Alimos Marina)
