Last updated: September 2026
At 100 to 114 feet (30 to 35 metres), a motor yacht in Greece usually carries a crew of five or six and room for 10 to 12 guests. This is the 30-metre class. About 53 yachts of this size are listed on our Greek site: 39 motor yachts, the rest gulets and sailing yachts.
Below are 10 of the motor yachts, picked to show the range of the class rather than to crown a best boat: nine shipyards, builds from 1969 to 2025, and starting rates from €52,000 to €115,000 per week; the class runs lower, and yachts of this size on our Greek site start from about €26,000 per week. All ten list Greece as a cruising area. The countdown runs from #10, the shortest at 100 feet, up to #1, the longest at 114 feet, ranked by listed length. Specs and rates come from each yacht’s current listing, and quotes from the onboard reviews published on those listings. Each yacht’s rate is given as her listed range, from the lowest seasonal week to the peak, plus APA (the advance provisioning allowance for fuel, food and berthing); the APA percentage varies by yacht and, where the listing states it, runs from 6.5% to 35% among these ten. Figures are as listed in September 2026, so confirm them when you book.
What a 30-Metre Yacht Means in Greece
Guests. Almost every charter yacht is limited to 12 guests whatever her length, and in Greece this size class often reaches that limit: of the 39 motor yachts of this size on our Greek site, 12 guests is the most common figure (15 of them), then 10 (14). If you are more than 12, see our Greek yachts for 12+ guests.
Cabins and crew. Five cabins is the norm (22 of those motor yachts), then four (14). Crew counts appear on only about half of these listings; where they do, it is usually 6.
Where you board. Nine of the ten below list an Athens base, so most weeks start and end around Athens, with the Saronic islands a short run away and the Cyclades a longer crossing. ANGELS is the exception, based in Bodrum in Turkey and cruising Greece and Turkey. For how the start port shapes a Cyclades week, see Athens or the islands.
The meltemi. In July and August the meltemi, the dry northerly summer wind of the Aegean, can blow strongly through the Cyclades. Cruising speed decides how long you spend on an exposed crossing; listed cruising speeds run from 11 to 25 knots on most of the ten below. Our note on what stabilisers change on a Greek charter has more.
Who builds them. Sanlorenzo leads this band on our Greek site with 6 motor yachts, then Cantieri di Pisa with 5, Sunseeker with 4 and Baglietto with 3. Two Sanlorenzos made the ten below.
What it costs. Counting each listing’s lowest seasonal rate, the cheapest tenth of the euro-priced motor yachts start below about €44,000 per week (the lowest from €26,000), the middle sits around €65,000 per week, and the top tenth start above €91,000 per week. The ten below start from €52,000 to €115,000 per week. For what a week costs once APA, VAT and the tip are added, see our Greece yacht charter cost guide, and for a 40 m yacht, the 40-metre class in Greece.

From our onboard visit
Think a dining table for ten, deep couches, a central bar, and sunbeds all in one easy flow. It's the kind of space that makes guests want to spend the whole afternoon up top.
4. BESTIA
“A 2024 Sanlorenzo Built for Speed”
BESTIA is a 2024 Sanlorenzo, 108.4 feet (33.04 m) long, based in Athens. Her listing calls her the only SP110 offered for charter. With an 8.2 m beam she is the widest yacht here, and she cruises at 23 knots with a top speed of 31.

The beach deck is the real star, extending even further at anchor, with a clean feel throughout since all the hardware stays hidden underway.

ALEXIA is a 2006 Cantieri di Pisa, 110 feet (33.53 m) long, refitted in 2017, based in Athens and cruising Greece and Turkey. She takes 10 guests in 4 cabins on the lower deck: a king master, a queen VIP and two twins that each add a Pullman berth. Her crew numbers 6.

ALEXIA feels elegant and homely, with cream tones, polished wood, and clean lines giving her a classic, comfortable motor yacht feel.
2. PROJECT STEEL
“A Black-and-White Interior and a Zero-Waste Crew”
PROJECT STEEL is a 1993 Bugari, 112 feet (34.14 m) long, based in Athens. She takes 12 guests in 5 cabins: a king master, a queen VIP, a double that converts to a playroom, and two twins that each add a Pullman berth. Her crew numbers 6.

Her crew of 7 is the largest listed here, and she cruises at 19 knots. Our reviewer praises the crew and the versatility of the cabin layout, and notes a brand-new interior for her first season in charter. She carries a tender, a jet ski, a Seabob, water skis and a paddleboard. Rates run from €115,000 to €125,000 per week, plus APA.
Choosing Within the Class
Length is only a rough guide to price, as build year, refits and toys move it as much. In Greece, speed, cabins and base port are what shape the week. WET PANTHER, DIVINE, BESTIA and ALEXIA cruise at 21 knots or more, RARE DIAMOND and GEORGE P at 19 and ANKA at 17, so they spend less of the week on crossings from Athens to the Cyclades. SOUNION II cruises at 11 knots, an easy pace for a week around the Saronic islands close to Athens. ANGELS starts from Bodrum in Turkey and cruises Greece and Turkey; tell us your route and we will plan the week around it. For a group of 12, DIVINE, ANGELS, PROJECT STEEL and GEORGE P all take 12: ANGELS spreads them over 6 cabins, and GEORGE P has the largest listed crew here, 7; BESTIA takes 8 guests on the widest beam of the ten.
