If you want to go island hopping around Greece with your family or friends without breaking the bank, crewed catamaran charters in Greece offer incredible value. You get beach-front accommodation, a private chef, a professional crew who know the islands, great service, transport to amazing locations, great water toys, and an adventure of a lifetime, all in one package, and the best part – you do not have to lift a finger.

The crewed catamaran fleet in Greece is amazingly diverse, with luxury catamarans ranging from 50 to 80 feet. There is something for everyone, whether a family on a budget or a group looking to splurge on an ultra-luxurious experience.

We recommend catamarans to clients looking for maximum value for money, connection to the water, and relaxed cruising or sailing around the Greek Islands.

Why charter a catamaran in Greece?

Most of our first-time clients choose catamarans–and many rebook the same type. Here’s why:

  • More space for less: A 70ft catamaran rivals an 85ft motor yacht in space and costs less to charter and run.
  • Naturally stable: Twin hulls mean no heeling, fewer seasick guests, and easier movement onboard.
  • Low fuel use: Catamarans consume significantly less fuel than motor yachts, resulting in lower APA and better overall value for the same itinerary.

Broker insight

Most people, when they charter a yacht for the first time, actually like to charter a catamaran. It’s a nice way to ease into it and find your feet. Depending on the location, the size and age of the yacht, and how many crew you’re taking along, a catamaran charter can range anywhere from €30,000 up to €100,000.

How much does a Greece catamaran charter cost?

Crewed Greece catamaran charters start at around €30,000 per week and run to €100,000+, depending on the yacht’s size, season, and onboard experience. Below €40,000 the choice gets thin in high season, so that is the number we suggest planning around for a boat we would actually recommend. Remember the weekly rate is the charter fee only: VAT and APA come on top, so budget higher than the headline number.

Most yacht charters in Greece follow a plus-expenses model. Here’s how the cost breaks down:

  • Base rate: The weekly price for the yacht and crew
  • APA: 25–30% of the base rate; covers food, drinks, fuel, docking fees, and tips
  • VAT: Currently 12% in Greece

All-inclusive catamaran charters in Greece are rare, but we’ve secured a few exclusive options. Contact us if that’s what you’re looking for.

Where to go on your Greek catamaran charter?

Not all Greek sailing areas suit catamarans equally. We recommend routes with shorter crossings, protected waters, and good anchoring spots–so you can enjoy the islands, not fight the wind.

For most first-time catamaran charters we recommend the Saronic Gulf: it is right next to Athens, which means the biggest choice of yachts and no repositioning fees, short hops between Hydra, Spetses, Poros, and Aegina, and protected anchorages whatever the weather does. The Ionian Islands are the calm, green alternative: predictable summer weather, sheltered bays, and Venetian harbor towns from Corfu down to Kefalonia and Ithaca. The Cyclades have the most iconic islands, Santorini and Mykonos included, but the distances are longer and the Meltemi blows hard in July and August, so we suggest them for flexible groups on a larger catamaran.

Best Itineraries for Catamarans

We have made these Greek yacht charter itineraries with catamarans in mind. They:

  • mix the best islands with realistic distances
  • are shorter than motor yacht itineraries
  • start and end in places easy to fly into

People Also Ask

Can I sail from Athens to Santorini on a catamaran in one week?

Technically yes, but we advise against it: it is over 150 nautical miles with long sailing days and full Meltemi exposure. We instead build the week around the closer Cyclades, or suggest a power catamaran for the longer legs.

Can we charter a catamaran in Greece for more than 12 guests?

No. Greek charter yachts are legally limited to 12 guests, and no charter catamarans are classed as passenger ships. For bigger groups we arrange a tandem charter: two catamarans cruising the same route together. See our large-group charter picks.

Do I need sailing experience to charter a catamaran in Greece?

No. On a crewed catamaran your captain and crew handle everything. A sailing license (RYA Day Skipper or ICC) is only needed if you want to charter bareboat.

When is the best time for a catamaran charter in Greece?

May to October, with June and September the sweet spot: warm sea, great weather, fewer crowds. July and August bring peak prices and the strongest Meltemi winds in the Cyclades. More in our Greece charter weather guide.

How early should I book?

Ideally 9 to 12 months ahead for the best choice of catamarans, especially for July and August. Inside 3 months the top boats are usually gone, though we can often still find strong late options, see our current special offers.
