Greece Yacht Charters

The Cyclades, Dodecanese, Sporades, and Ionians – these are the magnificent isles that create a beautiful and historic setting for a Greek sailing vacation. Aboard your own private yacht, you can follow in the footsteps of mythical legends and walk among historic sites.

While some of the sailing destinations in the Mediterranean entail open-water, often spirited passages well offshore, a Greece yacht charter is far more sedate and family-friendly. An air of adventure fills the wind above the Saronic Gulf and extends to the shores of Poros, Hydra, Cape Sounion and beyond. And a Power yacht charter from Athens provides the freedom and speed you need to see more of this majestic cruising ground.

Where can I sail in Greece?

Each of our Moorings bases in Corfu and Athens Zea (a marina is located in Piraeus in Athens) offer a unique vantage point from which to enjoy the islands either in seclusion or in resort towns replete with white-sand beaches, upscale dining, and trendy boutiques. Unleash your inner explorer as you discover fascinating Ancient Greek ruins or unwind on sun drenched beaches with a book in hand. It’s all a matter of preference when chartering around Greece’s 2,000 islands, larger than our other Mediterranean destinations, Croatia and Italy .

Take the helm and sail across Greece’s stunning waters yourself or relax up on deck as our exceptional crew take care of your every need. What are you waiting for? Book your idyllic Greece yacht charter today and blissfully sail away into the sunset.

Let us organise your perfect Greece yacht charter itinerary.

Our expert brokers know the cruising grounds intimately, both personally through first-hand experience and in real time through contacts on the ground. Your Greek yacht charter itinerary will be tailored specifically for you to deliver the holiday you want.

New to charter?

The Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) is due at the time of the final charter payment. Under MYBA terms, this sum is usually equivalent to 30 per cent of the total charter fee, but may be up to 40 per cent in some cases.

Intended to cover the operating expenses of a charter as explained under Charter Terms, such as fuel, food, drinks, port fees and ad hoc incidentals, the APA will be given to the captain before the start of your charter. The Captain will ensure that the yacht is fully fuelled and provisioned when you step on board. While an up-to-date summary of accounts can be requested at any time during your charter, a full set of accounts will normally be submitted by your captain at the end of the cruise. If, during the charter, the expenditure exceeds the sum already paid, additional cash funds will be required at once.

All outstanding bills from the yacht charter should be settled in cash or by bank transfer before your final disembarkation. Of course, any remaining credit at the end of your charter will be reimbursed to you in full. On request, transfer arrangements to and from the yacht can be made by Burgess or by the yacht’s captain, payment for which will be deducted from your APA.

“We had a great time in Greece”

We had a great time in Greece, the first three days we had constant 20-25knots of wind, so we were able to do a lot of sailing. The boat was also in good condition and everything in working order…the boat did however look a bit older than a 2018 mode…

Greece Yacht Charters

Greece is a country in Southeast Europe, which is located in the Balkans. The country is embossed in four seas: the Aegean Sea, the Ionian Sea, the Cretan Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea . Due to its advantageous location, Greece possesses one of the longest coastlines in the world. This outstanding feature makes the country an incredibly famous sailing destination. Beautiful golden beaches along the island, emerald transparent waters, pine forests in the mountains, and extremely pleasant weather will not leave any sailor indifferent. Deciding to charter a shining yacht, you make an investment in unforgettable memories and the desire to come back as a matter of course. 

The reasons for which one must visit Greece are difficult to count as it has a lot to offer for everyone. Rich history, glorious past, impressive ancient buildings, delicious food and wine, an abundance of celebrations and festivals are waiting for you to explore the picturesque region. The pristine nature of Athens, Volos, Corfu, Kavala, and other Greek cities and perfect weather conditions create an ideal opportunity to rent a boat and melt into the pleasure.   

Sailing Conditions in Greece

Being situated in Southeast Europe, Greece welcomes sailors from around the globe to feel all the benefits of the Mediterranean climate. Hot and dry summers with rare precipitation and clear skies provide a good opportunity for yacht rental without any fear of possible rains and extreme winds. The average temperature during the summer period never drops below 20 ºC even at night. It is impossible to miss such great weather and not to go far in the sea on your sailboat to enjoy the 30 ºC heat in the daytime. Greek winters are usually colder, especially in those areas that are close to mountains. But they are not lingering and not so cold to somehow disturb dedicated sailors. The sailing season usually starts in March and continues up to November, bringing different sailing conditions to the island.

Best Times for Vacation in Greece

Having an intention to make the most of your sailboat vacation in the breathtaking destination, it is necessary to get acquainted with the weather conditions of the desired period. As a rule, the peak season of sailing occurs in the summer months and up to the end of September . This time features extremely high air and water temperature and a huge number of sailors even in the remote marinas. By the way, Greek summers are an ideal time for those who are ready to forget about sleep and party the whole night. One of the most important things to consider is that in July, the northern wind Meltemi comes to the shore and creates many hazardous obstacles for sailing.

Spring and autumn wind speeds and summer conditions force you to choose this time period if you are looking for peace and quiet. There is no extreme heat and strong winds, as well as no abundance of people. You still can enjoy going bareboat without any unpleasant conditions and immerse yourself into the same active and loud festivals and celebrations.

Sailing Difficulty Level

Greece has already gained its high popularity as one of the world’s best sailing destinations . Because of its climate and location, the country represents great sailing options for beginners and professional sailors alike. The weather changes require sailors to explore the weather forecast beforehand to select the desired time for coming and know what to expect. The level of difficulty is mostly predetermined by the Meltemi wind of 6-8 force. Blowing from July to September may scary fresh sailors and even become a challenge for experienced professionals. If you are not highly skillful and just do not have enough confidence to manage the vessel by yourself, consider booking a boat in spring or autumn. The absence of powerful winds will not spoil your first sailing experience but contribute to positive impressions.

If you are still not ready to face the open water, 12 Knots is glad to provide you with the help of a qualified skipper and an opportunity to hire a crew . Being focused on the needs and desires of every sailor, we offer either a skipper to help to refresh the memories of handling a boat or a complete training process in our sailing school. Both options are delivered at their best quality and reasonable price.

Main Charter Bases

Greece is an incredibly important sailing destination for 12 Knots. Welcoming thousands of happy sailors every year, the country has a lot of well-equipped marinas and good mooring options. Depending on the desired part of the country, preferred city, and climate peculiarities, you may select a perfect one. The team of 12 Knots spreads their professional services on more than 30 bases along the coast. You may rent a yacht or boat at bases situated in the most famous Greek cities and islands:

• Santorini  and many others

Boat Types for Charters

Having a great number of bases in possession, 12 Knots aims to provide sailors with powerful sailboats from leading manufacturers. Approximately 6,000 vessels are now available for charter in Greece. Sailing yachts, catamarans, powerboats, gulets, and houseboats are waiting for your booking. Do not hesitate and contact our team to become an owner of a white shining boat at a good cost. It is advisable to perform booking beforehand to avoid disappointment and misunderstanding.

Other Information about Greece Sailing

Before diving into the images of future perfect sailing vacations, every sailor should be aware of some essential information about the intended place.

• The official language is Greek, although English is also widely spoken, especially in tourist places.
• Greece is the Euro zone; that’s why the official currency is Euro.
• Greece is under the Schengen Agreement, which enables US citizens to enter the country without a visa and stay for no more than 90 days. For citizens of other countries, the consultation of the specialist is needed.

Greece Yacht Charters

Luxury Greece yacht charters will transport you to one of the most magnificent places in the world and leave you feeling like a god or goddess. There’s a reason why Greece has been the most popular summer destination in recent years – it’s an incredible experience full of history, beauty, and adventure.

Greece brings to mind bright white cottages with rounded, azure-colored roofs that match the brilliant ocean; or colorful fishing boats bobbing in peaceful harbors as the golden sun warms the streets.

Aside from its vivid landscape, it’s also a land of legends and antiquity. Zeus and Athena, Aristotle, and Socrates – myths and philosophies from Ancient Greece have been foundational to modern-day culture and knowledge.

Greece is considered to be a cradle of Western civilization, and what better way is there to explore it than with a luxury, crewed private yacht charter? Greece is one of our specialties, and with our extensive knowledge of the industry, we can help you make the right choice of yacht for your charter based on your taste, preferences, and budget.

When to go: May through early October

The yacht charter season in Greece begins in early May and runs through early October; however, most charter guests visit during the high season of July and August. During these warm months, prices are generally higher (as much as 10%) and so is demand, so we recommend booking far enough in advance to ensure that you secure the best boat and crew for your needs.

The Meltemi wind can be strong during the summer months, especially in the Cyclades Islands.

During the months surrounding the high season – May, June, September, and early October – the weather is pleasant and Greece yacht charters may be easier to book. There will be fewer tourists on land and the waters will be clear. The Meltemi winds have not begun or have already ceased.

Why charter a yacht in Greece?

Remarkable ancient history

Greece is known as the birthplace of democracy and Western civilization. Remnants still stand of ancient Greek and Minoan civilizations with well-preserved monuments, artifacts, and ancient sites.

Unique architecture

Greece has an architecture that dates back as far as 600 B.C. Many visitors come to enjoy its temples, most of which are in ruins, though some are quite intact. Greece is also known for its open-air theaters, which date from Hellenic times, around 350 B.C. Additionally, there are public squares, mausoleums, gateways, and colonnades.

Great local cuisine and wine

While in Greece, charter guests take advantage of the delicious Greek cuisine and wine offerings, which are an important part of the culture.

Sampling the delicious moussaka, a staple of most Greek meals is a must. This oven-baked casserole includes eggplant and spiced meat filling, topped with a creamy béchamel. Baklava should also be on your trip menu. It’s a crunchy, sweet pastry made of flaky phyllo dough and cinnamon-spiced nut filling, covered in syrup. Yacht charters to Greece will typically serve these dishes on-board, but nothing can compare to eating them fresh when visiting the islands.

As for beverages, white wine is popular in the warm lands of Greece. The lovely Assyrtiko, a Santorini varietal, has a light lemon and fruity flavor. Or sample a Restina wine, a white that’s infused with the sap of the Allepo pine tree and a Greek specialty.

Natural beauty

Greece yacht charters can provide guests with unique views of the more than 6,000 islands and islets throughout the Aegean and Ionian seas. Beaches range from pristine white sands to deep black in color. Greece has it all: pebble beaches, sheltered bays, coves, coastal caves, wetlands, rocky interiors, calderas, and olive groves!

Spectacular coastline

The coastline of Greece, including the islands, is almost 10,000 miles long. You can find sandy beaches, pebble shorelines, darkened caves, and steep rock walls. There are many inlets, bays, and peninsulas along the shoreline, making for excellent cruising and water sports. This incredible coast makes Greece the perfect destination for yacht charters.

Great beaches

Whether you prefer a traditional white-sand beach, an elegant pebble beach, or a unique black-sand beach, the islands of Greece can provide it. You will be able to locate both secluded beaches with not a soul in sight and popular beaches with partygoers or families.

What are the best Greek Islands to explore?

With more than 6,000 islands to explore, spanning major island chains such as the Cyclades Islands, the Aegean Islands, the Sporades Islands, the Ionian Islands, the Dodecanese Islands, and the Saronic Islands, there’s a Greek locale to match every desired experience. Whether you want an off-the-beaten-track feel or want to be in the heart of all the action, Greece offers the ideal spot. Some of the most popular with yachting enthusiasts include:

Considered one of the most dazzling and exclusive of all the Greek islands, Santorini offers charm in abundance. Explore cobbled streets drenched in bougainvillea, party at decadent beach clubs, or enjoy dining at some of Greece’s most spectacular restaurants.

Sandy beaches lapped by turquoise waters, striking interiors, and pretty whitewashed buildings are the hallmarks of Mykonos. This Greek Island is known for its ultra-hip nightspots that attract internationally acclaimed DJs, refined beach restaurants, and label-laden boutiques.

Pretty Crete is one of the largest and most populous islands in Greece, known for its rich culture, superb cuisine, and spectacular National Park. Explore cities steeped in history and fascinating ancient ruins such as Knossos, first occupied during the Neolithic era, 7,000 B.C.

Considered one of Greece’s most romantic destinations, pretty Hydra will seduce you with its quaint towns and relaxed atmosphere. Hydra is a car-free island, giving it the feel of a bygone area that over the years has attracted renowned artists and jet setters in equal measure.

There’s lots going on in Rhodes, with plenty to see and do, making it a popular yachting destination. Rhode’s Medieval Old Town is a must-visit and is regarded as one of the best-fortified cities in Europe. On Rhodes, you’ll also find the ancient Lindos Acropolis.

While not technically a Greek island, mainland Greece should not be ignored. Athens is brimming with Greek culture and mythology, exclusive restaurants, designer boutiques, and world-class offerings. A must-visit is the Acropolis of Athens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and considered the most complete ancient Greek monumental complex.

Ready for an exciting and carefree trip to the Greek Islands?

Keep reading to find out why sailing with Greece On Board is the best way to make your dream trip come true.

Why Greece?

Greece has some of the best waters for sailing in the world. The beauty of sailing the Greek seas, traveling from island to island, fills the five senses. It offers you idyllic views, blue seas, and geographic and historic riches.

Visit endless sandy beaches, private rocky coves, and quaint Greek villages. Feel the warm wind on your face, taste the authentic flavors of the country, and experience the genuine friendliness of the Greek people and the richness of Greek culture.

See the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets and fill your days with seaside memories you will never forget.

Charter a Sailing Yacht in Greece

We know that Greece is a fabulous destination. But, why charter a sailing yacht or catamaran?

Build Your Own Itinerary

Sailing yachts are your luxury transportation and accommodations on the sea, with the ability to build your own itinerary. You can wake up in a new place each day or spend several days in the same picturesque place. It’s all up to you.

Greece on Board offers 7-and-15-day itineraries.

Good for a Range of Travelers

Another reason sailing yachts are a great choice is that they cater to a wide range of people. Whether you are a beginner sailor or an experienced one, if you prefer to be active or to take things slow, chartering a sailing yacht is an excellent choice. Families, couples, friends, and adventurers-it’s an unforgettable experience no matter the size or interests of your group.

Your Own Skipper and Team

The best reason to charter a sailing yacht is that you can see the Greek islands from a private vessel with your own skipper and experienced team. You just have to relax and enjoy the ride.

It’s an Immersive Experience

There is nothing like sailing on the Greek seas. Let the skipper and his crew harness the wind and take you from one breathtaking island to the next.

Sailing by wind is one of the purest experiences in life. Our sailing vessels not only provide transportation but a full, immersive travel experience that offers our guests a deep connection to nature and the sea. No engine noise or rumbling, just following the ebbs and flows of the water around us and the wind that guides us, lulling our guests into a state of relaxation and happiness.

Sailing Destinations

Greece on Board offers a variety of destinations on your 7-or-15-day private sailing yacht sailing trip. Some of the island destinations might be changed because of weather or sea conditions, but your skipper has the experience of knowing when to adjust course if necessary. Here are some of the wonderful places we have the possibility of visiting.

The Saronic Gulf

The Saronic Gulf is a body of water nestled between mainland Greece and the Southern Peloponnese, a short sail from Athens.

An ideal place to sail for people looking for a relaxing, easy sailing vacation, the Saronic Gulf offers calm waters, natural beauty, and beautiful historical and waterfront sites.

There are many beautiful places to visit on the Peloponnesian coastline in addition to many picturesque islands in the Saronic Gulf. We highly recommend including Hydra, Spetses, and Poros.

The Cyclades

A sailing trip to the Cyclades offers a trip through the pearls of the Aegean and some of the most visited destinations in Greece.

There is a reason people love the Cyclades . The architectural scenery of white-washed houses, hilltop churches, and idyllic villages dazzles the eyes. There are unlimited beaches, coves, and blue waters to explore.

While the water conditions in the Cyclades are sometimes rough during July and August, it might be enjoyable for more experienced sailors.

Some of the islands that the Greece on Board team can include in your Cycladic itinerary are:

Greece Yacht Charter

The home of western civilization.

With more than 8,000 miles of coastline and over 2,000 islands to discover, the best way to experience Greece and her many destinations are by boat. A Greek sailing vacation allows you to explore the ruins of Ancient Greece, sample some traditional mezé at friendly waterside tavernas and stop off at some of the country’s famous party islands for the best nightlife in the Med.

Take the helm of a beautiful chartered yacht and experience prolonged periods of open water sailing as you strike out for the scattered Saronic Islands, or enjoy easy line-of-sight exploration through the famous Heptanese Islands off Greece’s west coast.

Sailing in Greece is a near-mythical blend of line-of-sight cruising and longer, more challenging passages. The Ionian Sea’s light winds and warm waters invite sailors of all abilities to take on a real adventure, while the Saronic caters for those looking for a more testing voyage. Set sail from our base in  Lefkas  for some classic Greek island hopping, or go to  Corfu  for some steady coastal cruising. Our  Athens Zea  base is the ideal launchpad for trips into the Cyclades and wider Saronic.

Private Yacht Charter in Greece

Experienced nicholson staff.

Nicholson Yacht Charters represents a large fleet of luxurious power , catamaran , and sailing yachts with captain, executive chefs, stewards and full crew for private charter in Greece.  Our staff inspects these yachts annually and meets their crew, so that we can offer these yachts with authority to you.  These yachts are available for private charter from Athens for cruises to the Cyclades, Sporades, the Ionian Sea, the Dodecanese and the Peloponnesus Peninsula from May through October for parties of two to twelve guests.  Established in 1949, Nicholson Yacht Charters is the oldest established Yacht Charter Broker in the World, and we are Still First!

HOW IT WORKS

Guests choose dates and ports of their choosing for cruises generally beginning and ending in Athens.  These yachts have no set itineraries.  Itineraries are custom built around what guests want to see and what activities you want to pursue.  Yachts can be delivered to other islands for a fee.  Although itineraries are decided after the captain has a chance to sit down with guests and learn more about what guests want to do, we can arrange for captains to send you a preliminary itinerary in advance.

WHY GREECE?

With the large number of Greek islands, located in close proximity to Athens, together with the fact that the Greek VAT TAX of 10% is lower than in any other area of the Mediterranean, in addition to the vast number of competitively priced yachts ranging in size from 44 feet to 250 feet, sail and power – and the fact that the warm, dry, sunny climate of Greece is pleasant from May to October, as well as the numerous, “ridiculously quaint” villages and natural landmarks these islands offer, and the vibrant blue of the Aegean and the warmth of the sea makes Greece one of our most popular Mediterranean destinations.  July and August is high season; May, June, September and October is low season.

5-STAR CUISINE AND SERVICE

Regardless of size, whether catamaran, sail, or power, each vessel we represent is beautifully appointed and has a professional captain, plus an executive chef, who is generally versed in numerous kinds of cuisines from Wellness to Mediterranean to Traditional Greek Kitchen to World Cuisine.  Guests fill out a preference sheet, and chefs plan their menus around their guests’ food and drink likes and dislikes.  A host of caring stewards and stewardesses take care of guests’ every need, from tending table, to turning down beds at night, to helping guests with ironing and clothing, to cleaning the cabins, to serving drinks and snacks throughout the day and night.  “Boat Staff” combine with “Hotel Staff” to round out the crew.  “Boat Staff” include the bosons, first mates, First Officers and of course the Captain.  They are professionals with seamanship skills, whose number one priority is to see to the safety of their guests.  While the duties of the “Boat Staff” combine with the duties of the “Hotel Staff,” the “Boat Staff” assists with watersports activities, boat handling, and they provide knowledge about the cruising ground.  They know where to go and what to do and see ashore.  Captains provide their guests with a choice of activities each day, and Guests are Welcome to visit the Captain in the Bridge any time of the day.  Although a Crew will not bill for a tip, nor will they mention a tip, gratuities are expected.  While Gratuities are for the charterer’s discretion, 10% to 20% of the charter fee is typical.

HEALTH & WELLNESS CRUISES

A person should not have to change what they are used to eating just because they are going on vacation.  Our chefs are versatile in many kinds of Special Diets from Vegan to Gluten-Free to Raw Diets to Low Carb High Fat diets and more!  Please feel free to request Special Diets from our chefs.  Many yachts also carry exercise equipment, such as Treadmills and Cross Trainers.  Some have rooms wholly dedicated to gym equipment, some rooms located on the Sun Deck in glass surrounds offering views of the cruising ground, while others are located below near the Swim Platform.  Other yachts just offer the odd Treadmill or Cross Trainer here or there.  Spas too are important on charter yachts.  From massage therapists to Beauticians to saunas and steam baths and all manner of relaxing Swedish massages, many yachts are able to deliver.  A list of yachts offering Wellness Cruises is listed on our Interactive Search option on our Website.  Under Number of Guests, select Wellness for the complete list and description.

INTERNET & ENTERTAINMENT

All yachts offer wireless internet at sea and offer all manner of state of the art, Audio and Visual equipment from Satellite TV, to movie servers, Airplay, iPod docks, and more.

ENTERTAINMENT AREAS

Charter yachts have multiple entertaining areas in addition to guest staterooms.  A motor yacht generally offers the main saloon, formal dining room, lower and upper aft decks, plus second living room upstairs, and vast sun deck as well.  Catamarans often have lounges above their cockpits, as well as formal saloons and aft cockpits, plus sunbathing on the foredeck.  Sailing yachts also offer upper and lower deck entertaining areas.  Dining is offered in more than one place aboard charter yachts.  Learn more about each yacht, as well as the cuisines offered aboard by using our Interactive Search on our Website.

HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YACHTS ACCOMMODATE?

Regardless of size, yachts generally accommodate 12 guests maximum.  This is due to charter licensing requirements. The rule is firmly adhered to for insurance purposes.

TRADITIONAL GREEK ISLES ITINERARY

Most of our clients request cruises through the Cyclades, including Mykonos and Santorini, but cruises can also be had to the Ionian Sea, Sporades, Peloponnesus Peninsula, and other less windy cruising grounds in the Aegean.  While itineraries are flexible and guests can plan their own route, a typical cruise through the Cyclades begins and ends in Athens and sails in a circular route by way of Kea, Syros, Mykonos, Paros, Eos, Santorini, Milos, Serifos, and Kythos, generally.  Mykonos and Santorini are the most popular, but the other islands listed above are quaint, unspoiled, real, and offer lots of natural beauty.   Yachts tend to visit beaches by day and ports with town squares at night.  A highlight of any cruise is having a beach picnic, catered by the crew, complete with tent, chairs, dining table, and all the accoutrement.

The prevailing wind in the Aegean blows from North to South, and the Cyclades during July and August can be notoriously windy.  The Meltemi winds kick up at short notice and can blow so strongly that a yacht can be stranded in port for three days until the storm blows itself out.  As our captains put safety first, if you’re catching a flight, this can be a disaster.  For this reason, it might be a good idea to avoid the Cyclades in July and August and sail the Sporades, Ionian Sea, and the Peloponnesus Peninsula instead, which are more protected.  While it is possible to visit the Cyclades in July and August, if you do plan on visiting them, please be advised that the captains reserve the right to refuse to go to sea if the weather forecast is unfavorable.  For many Greeks the Ionian islands in Western Greece are a highlight.  While it is possible to visit the Ionian Islands by starting your charter in Athens, it is preferable to have the yacht delivered to Zakynthos, so that you can start your cruise in the heart of the Ionian cruising ground and begin your downwind voyage to Ithaka, Lefkada, and Paxi, ending in Corfu.  This omits a long first day’s sail through the Corinth Canal and the Gulf of Corinth.  It may involve a delivery fee, however.  The Peloponesus Peninsula has many islands which are quaint and offer the charm of Greece.  The Sporades Islands offer some of the most turquoise waters of Greece.

THE LURE OF THE SEA

A Yachting Holiday invites sophisticated travelers to appreciate the Adventure that Yachting is.  The Adventure is the window in the hull of that catamaran that becomes an aquarium when the yacht is heeling over at sea.  It’s the marvel of objects d’art staying upright and stationery when the yacht encounters a moving sea.  This is the Romance of Sail.  This is the Call of the Sea.  This is the Holiday of a Lifetime.  As Yacht Charter Brokers, our job is to match clients with the Yacht that is Exactly Right for You.

RATES & TERMS

Weekly rates are quoted in Euros for the party as a whole and include the yacht, crew, and insurance.  Food, fuel, bar and dockage are sold at cost price and usually run about 30% of the charter fee.  It is customary to wire a 25% to 30% Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) a month in advance of your charter, so that the captain can provision and fuel the yacht for your arrival.  The captain will keep receipts and present these to you at the end of charter.  If expenses have run over the amount of APA sent, guests are expected to settle the bill in cash before disembarking.  If expenses have not exceeded the APA, the captain will refund the balance in cash.  It’s customary to tip the crew.  10% to 20% of the charter fee is typical. The 10% Greek VAT TAX is also extra, and in some cases a delivery fee is needed as well, if the yacht has to travel to pick up guests at a port where the yacht is not located.

Hydra, which was first mentioned by Herodotus in the 5th century BC, has been a significant island for boat-building since the 17th century. The island's charming and picturesque streets have been a draw for affluent hippies and jet-setters since the 1960s.

A sailboat is perfect for anyone who wants a more classical and exhilarating cruise on the Aegean Sea. A 196-foot sailboat with five cabins can cost around $298,000 for a week's rent. A 45-foot catamaran, on the other hand, with two cabins for a small group of 4 adults, can cost about $15,000 per week. Furthermore, a luxury motor yacht that's 160 feet in length and having seven cabins can cost around $170,000 for a week's rent.

What are the most popular yacht holidays in Greece?

There are three different island groups in Greece that offer the most spectacular yacht charter holidays. These are the Ionian Islands, the Argo-Saronic Islands, and the Cyclades. The Ionian Islands are found to the west of Greece and feature 12 islands and islets. They may up 6 archipelagos, Confu, Paxi, Zakynthos, Lefkada, Ithaki, and Kefalonia. With charming villages, a bohemian vibe, and picturesque beaches, you will find this island group's undeniable beauty breathtaking and spectacular.

The Argo-Saronic Islands offer a sheltered location and breathtaking natural scenery. Its closeness to Athens, being only 12 nautical miles away, makes it one of Greece's most visited yacht charter destinations. The Islands consist of Agistri, Aegina, Hydra, Poros, Salamina, and plenty of other worthwhile islands to explore. With natural anchorages, water sports activities on the islands reign supreme. And with ancient ruins, historical monuments, as well as a great collection of bars, restaurants, and boutique shops, get to enjoy the best of both worlds on board your very own luxury yacht floating around the islands.

And of course, a trip to Greece must never end without a yacht charter to the Cyclades Islands. Located in the south of Greece, this island group is the most popular and most visited. With islands such as Mykonos and Santorini, these islands make up the quintessential Grecian islands. There are 39 islands in the Cyclades, with only 24 being inhabited. The most popular are Mykonos, Santorini, Delos, Paros, and Sifnos.

Mykonos is best known for its lively nightlife, but during the day, you can visit the splendid golden beaches, the scenery, the quiet and peace, and beautiful architecture across the island. Santorini is the most visited of all the islands in the Cyclades, and for a good reason. Santorini is world-famous for being the picture-perfect Grecian island with white-washed houses featuring blue roofs and shutters, and narrow and winding alleys. And with the blue waters of the Aegean Sea as the perfect view, Santorini is undoubtedly spellbinding. Other islands to enjoy are Naxos, the largest of the Cyclades, with ancient temples, such as the Temple of Apollo, as well as the Temple of the Goddess Dimitra in Saggri.

Where to go on a luxury yacht charter in Greece?

When it comes to luxury yacht charters, nothing beats Athens in terms of offering yacht charter itineraries. With several luxury marinas such as the Flisvos Marina, which is the only marina in Greece to be awarded the 5 Gold Anchor designation, Athens is the perfect jumping-off point to the rest of the Grecian islands. And of course, it doesn't hurt that the famous city features gourmet restaurants, designer shops, and tailor-made luxury tours to start your yacht charter holiday.

Corfu Island comes in a close second for luxury yacht charters in Greece. With the Gouvia Marina, you are welcomed into the gateway to the Adriatic. With a cosmopolitan appeal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and plenty of secluded beaches to call your own, Corfu is an ideal luxury yacht charter destination. And if you want accessibility with your luxury yacht charter, Rhodes Island features a marina that is the biggest on the Dodecanese islands. The island has its international airport, with direct flights to international destinations. The marina itself offers a quiet and safe harbor, as well as VIP services.

Greece is a dream yacht charter destination. With incredible cuisine, enchanting volcanic islands with quaint and charming hilltop towns, and of course, exquisite natural beauty, a yacht charter in Greece is the best way to truly capture the country's beauty and timeless charm.

Skippered yacht charter greece.

Sailing holidays on a yacht rental is not just for sailors. It is for everyone seeking something more than the sea, the sun, and a sunbed. We provide professionally trained skippers for those who wish to rent a yacht and enjoy relaxing sailing holidays in Greece or those who wish to get involved and learn the ropes and the sails during a skippered yacht charter in Greece. After all, learning how to sail is easy. Depending on crew eagerness, our skipper will not only show how to navigate but will also provide firsthand knowledge of the Greek island destinations.

• need more experience and more confidence to take a yacht rental on their own
• want to get familiar with the Greek waters (first time to Greece)
• need a hand because no other in their crew may provide sufficient help
• need a guide to be with them and show the best coves and secluded bays for moorage and/or swimming, as well as the best places in seaside villages to eat and drink
• want to relax and enjoy leaving the helm and sails in the hands of someone who can be trusted

Our skippers are hospitable, friendly, discrete and knowledgeable about every destination and you will discuss together your preferences and plan your route. Choosing a skippered yacht charter, you also hire the skipper who will take care of the yacht for you and will ensure that you get the most out of your sailing holidays in Greece. When you select from our yachts for rent, keep in mind that you have to provide a cabin or berth in cabin for your skipper as he is obliged to sleep on board. Apart from the skipper’s fee, you have to also provide his meals either from the meals you prepare on board or at an eating place ashore. The skipper’s fee, regardless of the season and the people on board, is €140 to €190 depending on the yacht rental. You may wish to hire also a cook/hostess. The fee per day is generally 10 euro less than the skipper’s and you need to provide berth and meals as for the skipper. The running expenses for a skippered yacht charter are just like those of a bareboat charter (fuel, gas, water, meals, port/marina fees, etc.), plus the costs for the hired crew as above. Although some of our yacht rentals are offered only skippered (yacht charter prices include skipper’s fee), you may choose any of our bareboat charter yachts fitting your needs and let us know if you wish to have a skipper (select the check-box on the form of the yacht rental booking request).

The Greek unspoiled coastline and offshore islands have so many spectacular spots to visit that it is a natural start to any itinerary. Skippered yacht charter in Greece is all about your own private cruise where you can plan your own itinerary and visit exactly the places and attractions you want, from some of the world’s few truly iconic destinations to serene coves that are not accessible by land.

A unique choice that combines traditional aesthetics with modern comfort.

Understanding the Charter Seasons in Greece

The best time to charter a yacht in Greece is between April and November. The high season (July and August) offers the warmest weather but also attracts more crowds.

Choosing the Right Charter Company

Ensure your charter company is reputable. Check their certifications, read reviews, from viravira.co listing pages and ask about their safety measures.

Budget Considerations

Consider the charter fee, provisioning, fuel costs, port fees, and possibly additional expenses like tips for the crew.
