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.

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.

Want to experience a sizzling skippered sailing holiday in Greece?

Customer reviews.

We are frequent charterers and have sailed in the Med for the past 43 year. I have not only chartered but for many years ran the operations of a major charter company. I can safely say that it is not very often that one comes across a charter company as efficient and flexible as SEVEN Sailing .Spiros and his team were quite outstanding and nothing was too much trouble. Changes of charter dates, plans and island excursions were all handled swiftly and with courtesy. There is a lot to be said for using a company where the owners are hands on – something the mega charter companies lose with size. The boat was in excellent condition for age and we had no problems with her whatsoever. We have no hesitation in recommending Spiros and SEVEN Sailing.

Thank you for arranging a flotilla holiday that met all expectations and that will be fondly remembered. An efficient and personal service that resulted in a wonderful week of sailing in the Ionian. Good organisation and communication along with glorious conditions ensured our family flotilla experience was a big success. Our thanks to Spiros for arranging everything for us.

I would like to inform our satisfaction about the week we spended with catamaran odysseas. The boat was in excellent condtons and the places we visited very nice..Certainly we’ll back in this area supported by your organization

Settimana indimenticabile, posti meravigliosi che abbiamo potuto raggiungere anche grazie alla guida di un bravissimo skipper (un ragazzo inglese che da anni lavora in quella zona e conosce ogni suo angolo paradisiaco) che ha subito capito il tipo di esperienza che cercavamo più intima e meno commerciale. Unica piccola pecca era il fatto che parlasse solo inglese e quindi le nostre figlie hanno potuto interagire con lui molto poco. Bellissime veleggiate e barca ben attrezzata. Ottima comunicazione con Spiros che ha organizzato tutto egregiamente, dall\\\’aeroporto in poi. Un sogno!!

Nous sommes une petite famille de 4 personnes. Mon épouse, moi même et nos deux filles de 8 et 10 ans Nous étions en vacances dans les îles Ionniennes et la vue répétée des bateaux naviguant sur les eaux turquoises nous a donné envie de tenter l’aventure. Nous avons eu la chance de naviguer avec skipper pendant une semaine sur un BAVARIA 40S répondant au doux nom de Kanenas. Nous avons passé une semaine de croisière inoubliable. Thank you so much

Semana inolvidable, lugares maravillosos que pudimos conocer también gracias a el skipper que nos dieron (un muchacho inglés que trabaja hace años en esa zona y conoce cada uno de sus paradisiacos rincones) el cual entendiò enseguida el tipo de experiencia que buscavamos, mas intima y menos comercial. La unica pena era que hablaba solo en inglés asì que mis hijas pudieron conversar muy poco con el. Hermosas navegaciòn y barco a vela muy comodo. Optima comunicacion con Spiros que ha organizado todo perfectamente, desde el aeropuerto en adelante. Un sueño!

Yacht Charter in Greece

Greece yacht charter

Greece is a world-class, yachting destination. With an archipelago that boasts volcanic islands on the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas, discover ancient cities, cliff-backed beaches, secret coves, and remarkable historical sites. Every year, boats of all sizes and shapes flock to Greece for stunning Grecian vacations with unparalleled experiences. To charter a yacht in Greece is truly a phenomenal holiday you shouldn't miss.

How much to charter a yacht in Greece?

Greece is blessed with beautiful weather year-round, and thousands of kilometers of coastline. With this, hundreds of yachts visit and enjoy the summer holidays, hopping from one Grecian island to another. Every type of yacht can be found on Greece's harbors and marinas, which means you'll have many yacht charters to choose from. 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.

“ After many years racing as a professional yachtsman I have been looking around for a proper yacht to purchase, to explore some of the great places I have spent my life racing past at speed. More and more I found myself looking at the X- Yacht range, as they seemed to fit the bill of a fast, elegant and seaworthy "proper" yacht. While searching the internet, I came across the X-Yachting website and saw there was the potential to charter an X-Yacht in Greece. After several emails back and forth my wife and I settled on chartering an X-4.6 to get a taste of what the X-Yachts were really like. We have just returned from a wonderful week in the Saronic Gulf and the Cyclades and I have to say we were suitably impressed with the whole thing. The team at X-Yachting Greece were very welcoming, efficient, and extremely competent. The yacht was very well presented with everything we needed for the charter. The yacht came with a Code 0 which was very easy to set up and deploy, by just my wife and I, and ensured "Athena" powered along in the light winds. The furling jib and standard main (with lazy jacks) were easy to handle, with the electric halyard winch a big help. The Nespresso coffee machine kept us caffeinated and a small dinghy with an electric outboard ensured our trips ashore were quiet and easy. Athena did not look like a charter yacht at all and other sailors came past and asked us how long we had owned her! I thought we would have a great time sailing in Greece but the experience was even better than either of us could have imagined. I thoroughly recommend X-Yachting Greece to anyone who is considering chartering in Greece, or even better buying an X- Yacht. Thanks again Kalliopi to you and the team. We plan to come back!' ” Will Oxley, Australia Professional Sailor and Navigator

“ Great yacht “Sophia” and great shore crew from the X Team 💪 Outstanding experience with fantastic service from the entire X-yachting crew. Will come back! ⛵️ ” Jesper, Denmark Charter

“ Last but not least, the beautiful, heart driven, professional, highly motivated and supporting Crew from X-Yachting Lavrio !!!

“ We particularly wanted to sail one of the new X yachts Pure range and so chose X-Yachting. We had a great week's sail, feeling secure in the X yacht despite the Meltemi blowing, and it was also good to have the charter team at the end of the phone / whatsapp to answer questions / advise on routes etc' ” Nick, UK Charter

“ The third time we have chartered from X Yachting, and the second time we have chartered “Ariadne”, an XC45. A pleasure to sail, she is the ideal yacht for that little extra bit of comfort and stability. Professionally prepared by the team in advance we look forward to sailing on her again in the future! Thank you again X Yachting for a wonderful family holiday! Your warm hospitality, and professional attitude continues to impress us! ” Stefan, UK Charter

Gave us great suggestions on places to visit on different islands, We will be back! ” David, USA Charter

“ We had a fantastic time - on top of that your team makes the experience seamless from a to z, a real joy being your client! ” Cornelis, Germany Charter

“ We spent the summer 2022 island hopping in the Greek islands and had our x-yacht based at the Olympic Marine where there was an x-yacht agent, but did not know what to expect . After meeting Jason and his team and providing them with a long snag list of works to be done on the boat , we never looked back . The team took full ownership, resolved all snags in no time , with such professional flair and friendly approach . We were so impressed that we returned there the following year , contrary to our original plans . If you are planning for a problem free holiday on your boat in Greece , the Olympic Marine in Athens is the place you can call home , having your boat in perfect hands with Jason and his amazing team there. ” Chris, Malta

“ From the initial point of contact with X Yachting I can testify that the level of service offered was of the highest quality, from booking the charter, to arrival, to stepping off the yacht at end of the charter the very highest standards were offered in a friendly and cordial way by everyone in the X Yachting team ” Stefan, Cyprus 'Ghost skipper' Charter

If you are an already qualified sailor, you can acquire a yacht charter in Greece without the need for a skipper. For motorboats that move up to 30hp, a license isn’t necessary. But keep in mind that even if you are qualified, it may be better to have a seasoned skipper on board who is well familiar with the surrounding area and shallow waters and reefs in the local Greek islands.

Accepted licenses in Greek Waters: ICC, International Prerequisites: RYA “Day Skipper Course” IPC, America Prerequisites: ASA 104 or US Sailing “Bareboat Cruising Course” The USA – US Sailing “Bareboat Cruising Course”, ASA “104 Bareboat Cruising Course” or above. CANADA – CYA “Intermediate Cruising Standard” or higher or “Canadian Pleasure Craft Operator Card”. You don’t need a VHF Radio Certificate in Greece! You should be aware that some harbor authorities in Greece no longer accept the national equivalent to RYA Day skipper, they only accept ICC. But, all national permissions can be easily converted to ICC. Greek Port Authorities also request that the skipper should be assisted by at least one member of the crew with some boating experience. This assisting crew member should be 18 years or older.

It is important to send a copy of your sailing license before you confirm a reservation so we can check the validity.

Otherwise, we can provide you with a local professional skipper and other crew members like hostess and chef to take care of you and make your sailing holidays to remember.

Price list 2023 – rates per sailboat

In order to obtain the costs of chartering a boat per person all you need to do is divide the rates below at the number of persons in your group. For example, if you are a group of 6 persons sailing for 7 days in June- the 4600 euro per boat is the equivalent of 911 euro per persons for a full week on board. On balance that’s only 109 euro per day per person for you to enjoy your private boat. Please check our price list page for a full list of prices and special offers.

Included in the charter rate (a), skipper and boat expenses, b) "all costs included" combo - 330 euro / day / boat. includes:, read more details, are you worried about the cost to rent a boat in greece well, we made this a worry-free sailing holiday in the greek islands..

After surfing the web and looking at different options for your sailing vacation, you might have noticed most yacht rental are structured similarly with renting a car. The charter rate covers the price for hiring the yacht itself (just like the car rental price covers the car itself).

And all the other aspects/costs involved are on you to cover as you go. For a car that would be things like gas, toll rates. With similar structure, when you are budgeting for your sailing holidays, you will have add on top of the charter rate, the other expenses involved as they appear. The trouble with this approach is that for a yacht the total/ final price the extras add up to varies several factors. Which makes it difficult for the traveler to figure out the total price he will end up paying (an aspect that will naturally might make him worried or anxious).

For example while the rate applied for skipper services is pretty much standard for all companies (190-240 euro/day), all the others extra can range according to many factors. How much fuel you are going to use depends on how long the engine will be running – more specifically on the distance to your favorite destination and weather condition. “But won’t we be sailing most of the time-why are we discussing fuel?’ you might be wondering. Please read below the paragraph marked with **

“All cost included” combo

So we are taking a different approach. In order to avoid the hassle of having an expense account open , we have grouped everything in the : “All costs included” combo of 330 euro/day to include the expenses associated with chartering the sailing yacht (skipper, fuel, final cleaning, etc) that will guarantee worry free vacations. You won’t have to keep an expense account open. You simply pay a one-time flat rate – divided in between the members in your group prior to setting sail, and that’s it! Much easier to plan and budget for! No hidden costs, no surprise at the end of the trip.

** How much will we be sailing /motoring? Well…it all depends on the wind conditions and the distance to the next destination. So let’s take for example a sail from Mykonos to the port of Paroikia in Paros that is 28 nautical miles apart (a good average).

• In favorable weather conditions a sailboat is perfectly capable of reaching a destination powered only by sails. With a good wind speed (10-12 knots or more) a sailboat would be a moving with a regular speed around 7 miles/hour. Thus, assuming a proper breeze, you would be covering the 28 nautical miles distance in about 4 hours.
• But when winds are very mild or from an un-proper direction, the speed a sailboat can reach just on sail power can drop significantly – even as low as 2-3 miles/hour. As a result, if you try to save fuel and move just on sails, you would be covering the same distance in 9-10 hours (no time left for swimming or exploring the island you are heading to). This is when the engine is one’s best friend! Is helping to go up to the regular speed of 7 knots so you reach the destination you wish, the day you wish in a reasonable time. This is an especially important aspect for many of our guests as soon as they realize a regular day on board is divided in several parts (the 3-5 hours travel time to the next destination, the 1-3 hours stop for a swim, the late afternoon/evening for exploring the islands you reach, on-shore activities, exploring the villages and dinner).
• With a 4 hours travel there’s time to mix all these in a single day.

ROUND TRIPS

Our base is in Paros island and this is where embarkation / disembarkation typically takes place.

Paros has multiple connections daily to the islands in the Cyclades ( including Mykonos and Santorini) as well as many daily flights and ferries connecting it to Athens.

Alternatively  Mykonos embarkation / disembarkation can might sometimes be arranged upon previous agreement befor.

ONE WAY TRIPS
