How Much Does It Cost to Charter a Sailing Yacht in Greece?

The cost of yacht rentals in Greece varies based on the following factors:

From our fleet of over 2,800 yachting charters in Greece, we have a variety of sizes available for customers to select from. The bigger options and the high-spec models are more expensive than smaller vessels with fewer cabins and older models.

As well as the size and model, our four boat types, including monohulls, catamarans, motorboats, and gullets, all have different prices because of their unique features and styles.

When you’ve selected the boat type, model, and size, you’ll have to decide whether you want a bareboat charter to operate yourself, a captain-led skippered charter, or an all-inclusive crewed charter. 

Bareboat charters are the most affordable out of sailyachts.com fleet but can only be operated by someone with a sailing license, whereas crewed charters are the priciest, but an experienced crew will take good care of you for your trip.

Keep in mind Greece’s high and low sailing seasons. The high season starts around the time of the school summer holidays on the European continent, from the end of May to the beginning of September. This is an amazing time for sailing with lovely weather conditions and moderate winds, although the prices increase with the demand.

If you’ve got time on your hands, don’t overlook February to May and November to December. It’s a brilliant chance to snap up some deals on sailing charters in Greece with sailyachts.com; the weather will still be on your side, and you can avail yourself of cheap mooring fees. What’s not to love?

How Different Yacht Charter Options Affect the Price

Before you book your boat charter in Greece with sailyachts.com, you’ll need to determine whether you want a bareboat charter, skippered charter, or crewed charter.
