Choose by type and size first, and by yard second. In Greece a crewed catamaran from Lagoon, Fountaine Pajot or Sunreef costs about €30,500 to €79,000 a week in high season, a 70 to 100 foot motor yacht from Ferretti, Azimut or Sunseeker about €75,000 to €125,000, and a Benetti, CRN or Heesen superyacht €160,000 and up.
Those are typical weeks at the standard we recommend, before the APA and 13% VAT. Smaller and older yachts cost less, and each builder guide shows the full range.
Which yacht builders can you charter in Greece?
The builders we charter most in Greece fall into three groups:
- Catamarans: Lagoon, Fountaine Pajot and Sunreef, plus a young fleet of Bali catamarans. Catamarans are the largest part of the Greek charter fleet.
- Motor yachts of 60 to 100 feet: Ferretti, Azimut, Sunseeker, Sanlorenzo, Princess and Riva.
- Superyachts of 120 feet and up: Benetti, CRN, Heesen, Feadship and Lürssen.

The typical week is the middle high-season rate of the yachts cruising Greece that meet the standard we recommend, catamarans from €30,000 and motor yachts from €60,000, October 2026. The APA and 13% Greek VAT come on top, and our Greek VAT, APA and extra costs page works through a real example.
Which yacht builder suits a family in Greece?
For a family of eight to ten, a catamaran is usually the answer in Greece, with four or five equal cabins, a stable ride at anchor and room for children to move around. A Lagoon gives the most space for the money, a Fountaine Pajot is sportier and slightly larger, and a Sunreef adds more crew and a semi-custom finish.
If the family wants to cover more islands in a week, a 75 to 90 foot Ferretti or Azimut cruises two to three times faster than a sailing catamaran.
Catamaran or motor yacht: does the builder matter more?
No. The choice between a catamaran and a motor yacht changes the week far more than the badge on either. Our motor yacht versus catamaran guide covers that choice for Greece, and our sailing versus power catamaran guide covers the one in between.
