Luxury yacht charters in Greece are all about long days at anchor, enjoying the clear water, and taking time to play. It’s when the water toys come out in force, and even the most serious adults turn into big kids.
There are endless gadgets and inflatables on the market, but some toys have become clear favorites on a Greece yacht charter. They’re easy for the crew to run, fun for a wide range of guests, and work perfectly in Greece’s calm bays.
Below are 7 of the most requested toys we see on yachts in Greece today—and why they’re so popular.
7. Seabob
Seabobs have quietly become one of the most common toys on charter yachts in Greece. These compact electric scooters tow you through the water on the surface or just below, with very little effort from the user.
Because they’re small and easy to store under seating or in lockers, many yachts now carry 2–3 Seabobs as standard. Guests usually feel comfortable within a few minutes, and the power and depth can be limited for kids or first-timers.
- Why guests love it: Effortless “swim like a dolphin” feeling in clear water
- Where it shines: Calm bays, rocky coastlines, and snorkel stops
- Who it suits: Kids, teens, and adults with almost no learning curve
- Why yachts add it: Big fun, tiny footprint, easy to manage for crew
6. Inflatable Water Slide
The inflatable water slide brings instant theme-park vibes to the yacht. It’s especially popular on larger motor yachts in Greece, where there’s enough height and deck space to launch the slide from the upper deck down into the sea.
Slides have become much more common in recent seasons. What started as a rare add-on is now part of the regular toy list on many family-focused yachts, and they’re one of the first things kids look for when they arrive on board.
- Why guests love it: Pure, simple fun—climb up, slide straight into the Aegean
- Where it shines: Long days at anchor in quiet bays
- Who it suits: Families, multi-generation groups, playful adults
- Why yachts add it: Huge family appeal, great photos, keeps kids busy for hours
5. Floating Playground
A floating playground turns the sea around your yacht into a private beach club. It usually combines sea pools, inflatable platforms, loungers, and sometimes trampolines or climbing pieces, all linked together off the stern.
These setups are becoming more common on larger motor yachts and the occasional big catamaran in Greece. They create a safe, defined area for swimming and hanging out on the water, which is perfect for busy anchorages or younger families.
- Why guests love it: Jump, lounge, sunbathe, and swim all in one floating space
- Where it shines: Sheltered bays where you’ll stay for a few hours or all day
- Who it suits: Families with kids, groups who like to socialise on the water
- Why yachts add it: Extends the usable “deck” space and feels like a mini water park
4. Towables (Donuts, Sofas & Bananas)
Towables are the crowd-pleasers of Greek yacht charters. Donuts, sofa tubes, and banana boats are now standard on many yachts because they work for almost everyone and can be as gentle or wild as you like.
You sit or lie down, hold on, and let the tender do the rest. The crew control the experience entirely with speed and turns, so a single towable can be a calm ride for younger kids or a fast, bouncy run for teens and adults.
- Why guests love it: Big laughs, easy to join in, great for groups
- Where it shines: Protected anchorages with room around the yacht
- Who it suits: Mixed-age groups, families, friends’ trips
- Why yachts add it: Low setup time, high replay value on almost every charter
3. Wakeboard
Wakeboarding is a natural fit for Greece: calm morning water, powerful tenders, and plenty of space to play. It delivers high-energy fun without needing waves, which is ideal in sheltered bays.
On many yachts, a wakeboard now sits alongside waterskis and towables as part of the standard toy kit. Crews are used to teaching complete beginners, and over a typical week-long charter, guests often go from their first shaky starts to relaxed turns and small crosses over the wake.
- Why guests love it: Feels sporty and satisfying to “get it” over a few days
- Where it shines: Early mornings or evenings when the sea is flatter
- Who it suits: Teens and adults who enjoy a bit of challenge
- Why yachts add it: Compact, versatile, and a great step up from towables
2. Jet Ski
Jet skis are still the definitive “jump on and go” toy. They’re perfect for guests who want speed, tight turns, and the freedom to explore a little further from the yacht.
These days, most motor yachts in Greece carry one or more jet skis on the swim platform or in a garage. Some larger power catamarans also have them.
The calm water on the leeward side of islands or capes is ideal for short runs, always under the captain’s guidance as to where and when they can be used.
Be sure to understand the jet ski regulations in Greece before your charter.
- Why guests love it: Instant adrenaline with minimal instruction
- Where it shines: Short bursts between swims or beach runs
- Who it suits: Confident teens (where allowed) and adults
- Why yachts add it: Strong guest demand, especially on performance motor yachts
1. Efoil
For guests who’ve already tried jet skis and wakeboards, the e-foil is often the next big thing. It’s an electric board with a hydrofoil underneath, so once you pick up a little speed, the board lifts above the surface and you feel like you’re flying over the water.
E-foils pack down well and can be carried on a range of yachts, from sleek motor yachts to larger sailing yachts and catamarans. They’re at their best in the flat, glassy conditions you often get in the early morning or evening in Greece.
- Why guests love it: Completely new sensation, very “futuristic”
- Where it shines: Calm, sheltered bays with smooth water
- Who it suits: Confident adults, especially with board-sport experience
- Why yachts add it: High-impact “wow” factor for repeat charter guests
