What yacht charter are you looking for?

Greece Yacht Charter

A crewed yacht charter in Greece lets you explore the islands on your own terms — with a professional crew and a tailored route, plus all the comforts of a floating villa. Whether you choose a catamaran for space and value or a motor yacht for speed and luxury, every detail is taken care of.

Spend your days swimming in hidden bays, trying out new water toys, visiting ancient ruins, or dining at quiet seaside tavernas. From the nightlife of Mykonos to the sea caves of Milos and the pastel charm of Corfu, Greece offers remarkable diversity.

We’ve helped hundreds of guests charter in Greece, and we inspect yachts and meet crews every year at shows like MEDYS to refine our picks.

Let’s Plan Your Greek Yacht Charter

Tell us your dates, group size, and preferred yacht type, and our expert brokers will match you with the best crewed yachts in Greece — all personally inspected and vetted by our team.

You’ll receive:

  • A curated shortlist of yachts
  • Walkthrough videos of real boats
  • Insider advice from brokers who’ve toured them in person

Types of Crewed Yachts in Greece

Greece Yacht Charter Highlights

Everyone has heard of Mykonos and Santorini—but they’re far from the full story. After years of yacht shows, sailing trips, and conversations with hundreds of Captains, we’ve learned which places are truly worth reaching by yacht.

Expect wild cliffside anchorages, traditional tavernas, and islands where you can tie stern to the rocks and jump straight off your yacht into gin-clear water.

âš² Milos

Explore the Pirate Caves of Milos

We always recommend a stop at Milos – Captains consistently rate it a top stop in the Cyclades. Once a pirate hideout, the island is packed with hidden beaches and sea caves you can only reach by yacht.

âš² Agistri

Launch the Water Toys at Agistri

South Agistri is one of our favorite anchorages in the Saronic Gulf. Tie stern-to the rocks, launch the water toys, and enjoy a full day of privacy. This is what it is all about—wild places you can’t get to any other way.

âš² Corfu

Visit UNESCO-listed Corfu Town

Dock beside the UNESCO-listed old town of Corfu and explore pastel streets shaped by Venetian, French, and British rule. It’s one of Europe’s most scenic port cities — and a cultural highlight of any Ionian charter.

Best Yachts for Charter in Greece in 2026

Each year we attend yacht shows across Greece — including MEDYS (Nafplion) and EMMYS (Poros) — to inspect yachts and meet crews in person.

From those visits (and guest feedback), we shortlist charter yachts that stand out for crew, condition, layout, and value. Explore our latest picks below — with photos/video, key specs, and who each yacht suits best.

Where to Go on a Greece Yacht Charter

Greece has 5 yacht charter regions, each with its own cruising style and highlights. From the iconic cliffside villages of the Cyclades to the calm bays of the Ionian, some areas are perfect for island-hopping on a catamaran, while others suit longer routes on a motor yacht.

Map of Greece Yacht Charter Areas Greek Island Groups

Santorini is a popular request for crewed catamaran charters. Reaching it from Athens on a 7 day charter is always subject to weather conditions. Inquire about options to start your charter in the Cyclades to make sure you hit your favorite location! Inquiring early is always advisable.

Cyclades Islands

Home to Santorini, Mykonos, and more, the Cyclades offer iconic cliffside villages and nightlife — but also longer open-sea crossings and strong Meltemi winds in summer. Best explored with a Greece motor yacht charter and flexible route planning.

Saronic Gulf

Just a short cruise from Athens, the Saronic Gulf offers some of the easiest and most accessible sailing in Greece, with short distances and protected bays — ideal for catamaran charters and family trips. Visit Hydra, Spetses, and Poros.

Explore Saronic Yacht Charters →

Agios Stefanos Cape, Corfu, Ionian Islands, Greece

Ionian Islands

The Ionian Islands are Greece’s lushest region, known for its calmer weather, making itinerary planning more reliable. Ideal for guests seeking nature, historic harbor towns, and beautiful beaches. Charter a motor yacht from Corfu to Zakynthos.

Explore Ionian Yacht Charters →

Rhodes Island Dodecanese

Dodecanese Islands

Far from the crowds, this eastern island chain is steeped in ancient Greek, Byzantine, and Ottoman history. Expect medieval ports like Rhodes, dramatic coastlines, and quieter cruising on a motor yacht or Gulet — ideal for return charterers.

Explore Dodecanese Yacht Charters →

Sporades Islands yacht charter in Greece

Sporades Islands

Green, quiet, and often overlooked, the Sporades are perfect for off-the-beaten-path yacht charters from Volos or Skiathos. Explore calm, turquoise waters, pine-fringed bays, and Greece’s largest marine park — best by catamaran or sailboat.

Frequently Asked Questions

When’s the best time of year to charter a yacht in Greece?

April to October is the charter season.

  • July and August: Peak season with hot weather and strong Meltemi winds in the Cyclades. Better for a yacht charter in the Saronic Gulf or the Ionian Sea.

  • April–May & Sept–Oct: Fewer crowds, warm seas, calmer winds — ideal for families or first-timers.

  • March/Nov: Off-season; some yachts available, but expect fewer services.

How far can you go on a one-week private yacht charter Greece?

Expect to cover 100–300 nautical miles, depending on your yacht and weather.

  • Motor yachts: 20–40 nm per day

  • Catamarans/sailing yachts: 15–25 nm per day

Our brokers tailor routes based on fuel range and sea conditions — especially in windy areas like the Cyclades.

Are there any all-inclusive yacht charters available in Greece?

Yes – while almost all yacht charters in Greece are “plus expenses,” we offer a curated selection of rare all-inclusive yacht charters in Greece. These packages cover everything: the yacht, crew, fuel, meals, drinks, and more – with no surprise costs.

Can I reach Santorini by yacht in a week?

Yes — but only with the right yacht and route.

  • From Athens, Santorini is ~150 NM — too far for most catamarans or sailing yachts on a 7-day trip.

  • Start in the Cyclades or use a large motor yacht for comfort.
    We help you plan realistic itineraries based on yacht type, weather, and distance.

READ: What you need to know before chartering a yacht to Santorini

Options include:

  • Booking a yacht certified for 12+ guests
  • Tandem charter (two yachts cruising together)
  • Adding a chase boat to expand capacity

READ: Greece Yacht Charters for 12+ Guests

What is the APA?

APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance) is a budget for running costs.

It covers food, fuel, port fees, and other onboard expenses. Usually, 25–40% of the charter fee. It’s managed by the captain and adjusted based on actual use.

READ: Learn more about yacht charter APA in Greece

When should I book my Greek Yacht Charter?

Ideally, 9–12 months in advance.

Top yachts book early, especially in high season. We always recommend securing the yacht before booking flights and keeping dates flexible by a day or two if possible.

We had a wonderful sailing trip in Greece and couldn’t have done it without Chris de Kock and DMA Yachting. From our first phone call to checking in during the trip, Chris made sure we had everything we needed so our group could relax without worrying about the logistics of such a big trip.

I would highly recommend DMA Yachting and hope to use them again in the very near future.

Nadja Asmus at DMA did a great job understanding our needs and provided many options for consideration. She took the time to review different types of boats, amenities, itineraries, etc.

Her work on arranging the charter, making any changes we requested, finalizing the deal, and following up all along the way was outstanding. […] Arguably, one of the best vacations ever.
