Most of our motor yacht clients in Greece book between €100,000 and €250,000 a week. This page covers the first half of that range: yachts of 108 to 174 feet, with a full crew and serious toys, before you step up to superyacht prices.
We have stepped aboard every yacht on this list. These are the ten we would shortlist first at this budget, ranked by price from number 10 up to our number one.
Prices on this page are each yacht’s starting weekly rate, usually for early or late summer. In July and August the rate is higher, and every charter adds an APA for fuel, food and drinks (about 30-40% on a motor yacht) plus Greek VAT on the charter fee. Tell us your dates and we’ll give you the exact figure for your week.

Expert insight
This is where you get a proper motor yacht. We have been aboard all ten, and you feel the difference from the band below straight away. The yachts are newer, the crews are bigger, and the service is a step up. Most have a jacuzzi on deck. Go above €150,000 and you are on superyachts, with even more space and often a beach club at water level. With APA and VAT, a €120,000 yacht comes to around €175,000 for the week, and we give you that figure upfront.

10. DALOLI
DALOLI is the yacht we keep coming back to. We have been on board two years running, and this spring she was in beautiful shape again, with even more of the bold, playful art she is known for. Returning clients book her again and again, which tells you plenty.
She is a 108-foot yacht from 2011 with five cabins. Her style is high-end with a funky edge: sculptures, neon light fixtures and a rich orange-and-green color scheme. The layout is clever. The cabins open onto a central lounge, so nobody queues at the doors, and the twins convert to doubles for two families or a group of couples.
The bridge deck has a dining room with sliding glass doors, so you can eat outside or close it off on a windy day. Up top there is a jacuzzi, a bar and sunbathing space. She even has a water slide, which is rare at this size.
9. BESTIA
BESTIA is built for guests who want to move fast between anchorages. She is high-speed and high-tech, comfortably outpacing most yachts her size, so you spend less time underway and more time in the water.
She is a 2024 Sanlorenzo of 108 feet, with 4 cabins for 8 guests and a crew of 5. Inside she feels more like a luxury beach villa than a yacht: light, open and calm, with all the technical hardware hidden away.
The beach deck is the real star. It extends even further at anchor, giving you a private platform right at sea level. The crew’s personal touches, like the chef’s specialty treats, round out the week. For a smaller group that wants the newest yacht on this list and the speed to see more of Greece, she is the one we would choose.
8. ABILITY
ABILITY is for guests who want a yacht with real personality. A major refit in 2023 and 2024 gave her one of the most striking interiors we have seen, mixing classic design with bold contemporary art.
She is a 138-foot Codecasa, based in Athens, with 5 cabins for 11 guests and a crew of 8. Inside, shining burl wood sits against crisp white fabrics, and the artwork gives every room a point of view. It feels like a private collection rather than a showroom.
She blends timeless style with genuine character from bow to stern, which makes her stand out in a fleet where many interiors look the same. For this budget, getting a 138-foot yacht with a fresh refit and this much style is excellent value.
7. BENIK
BENIK is a smart pick for families. Her 7-cabin layout takes 12 guests, with pullman berths that add flexibility, including one set low so younger children can climb in on their own.
She is a 134-foot Heesen, based in Athens and freshly refitted. Step inside and she easily passes for a much bigger yacht: the spaces are open, modern and well finished, and the cabin plan works for parents, teenagers and little ones under one roof.
The aft deck is built for the group. Its alfresco dining table seats up to 20, so long lunches and dinners under the stars never feel crowded, even if friends join from shore for an evening. For families who want space and a layout that adapts to them, she is excellent value in this band.
6. PATHOS
PATHOS is the yacht we point to when two couples are traveling together and nobody wants the smaller cabin. She has 2 master cabins, which is rare at this size: one on the main deck with a huge walk-in closet, the other upstairs with its own private aft deck and an en-suite sauna.
She is a 131-foot Sunseeker from 2012, refitted in 2017 and based in Athens, with 6 cabins for 12 guests. The main saloon is beautifully symmetrical, with a central bar and lounge, and fold-down balconies on either side that open the room to the sea.
Her crew is settled and works well together, and the chef is a real highlight of the week. If your group needs two equal suites and a yacht that feels generous everywhere else, she is one of the safest choices in Greece.
5. NAIA
NAIA is the yacht we suggest when a group wants polish and a lot to do in the water. Her 2024 refit stripped her back to the hull and rebuilt everything, from the ceilings and lighting to the floors, furniture and art. She feels new throughout.
She is a 126-foot Sanlorenzo with five cabins and a crew of eight. Greek designer Angeliki Makri did the interior, and it hangs together beautifully, with a burgundy theme and real attention to detail. The master is the standout, with a huge shower and two fold-down balconies for a private morning coffee over the water.
When we were on board, the crew included two dive instructors, a water-toy instructor and a drone operator who films your week. A spacious chase boat is included in the rate. She is a confident luxury pick for Greece.
4. MAIA
MAIA is the most yacht you can get for this budget, and she does not cut corners on crew. A team of 11 looks after 12 guests, including 2 full-time chefs, and her captain has more than 200 charters behind him.
She is a 174-foot custom build from 2025 with 7 cabins. The interior is Scandinavian-inspired: light wood, white textured fabrics and quartz accents in the cabins. It is some of the most refined styling we have seen on any yacht this year.
The fun is built in. Water toys come in twos, from jet skis to seabobs and e-foils, so nobody waits their turn. There is a dedicated gym with a sauna, and a hydraulic drop-down stern that puts you right at the water’s edge. For a big group that wants superyacht features without a superyacht price, she is hard to beat.
3. TIMBUKTU
TIMBUKTU is the yacht for art lovers. There are Salvador Dalí drawings, a large Ballini painting and, in the main saloon, fabric from a 200-year-old dress that belonged to an Indian princess. It feels like a private collection that happens to float.
She is a 137-foot Baglietto from 2009, refitted in 2021, with five cabins and a crew of nine. Each deck has its own color scheme in a classic 80s nautical style. Her two full-beam master cabins are both bigger and wider than you would expect at this size, which suits two couples or a family. The main master has a striking silver fish-scale bathroom.
The upper saloon has a cigar-room feel, with a full bar and leather armchairs, and the sundeck has a jacuzzi. The crew’s vegan bites stood out next to a spread of fish and meat, and the Smokey Paloma cocktail was a highlight of our visit.
2. ARTEMISEA
ARTEMISEA is for guests who care about the table as much as the view. Her crew sets every meal like an occasion, with striking tablescapes and fine dining that our clients talk about long after the week ends.
She is a 147-foot Intermarine, based in Athens, with 5 cabins for 10 guests. Inside she has one of the most elegant interiors we have seen at this size: minimalist, light-filled and finished in carefully chosen, high-quality materials. For all her volume, she feels homely rather than grand.
Evenings are where she shines. Expect sunset cocktails in the jacuzzi, then a long dinner that can end with Greek dancing around the table. It is the kind of charter that feels like Greece rather than just a yacht in Greek waters, and it is why we put her near the top.
1. FATSA
FATSA is the boat we suggest when the master cabin matters as much as the deck. Her owner’s suite would suit a brand-new yacht, and its standout feature is easy to miss on a brochure: both side windows open fully at anchor, so you wake up level with the water rather than looking at it through glass.
She is a 2019 Sanlorenzo of 125 feet, based in Athens, with 5 cabins for 10 guests. The lines are sleek and modern, and the layout gives every couple real space without the yacht feeling oversized.
The surprise is up top. The sun-deck jacuzzi is sized like something you would expect on a much larger yacht, with room for the whole group at once. It turns an ordinary anchorage into the best seat in the bay, which is exactly why she sits at the top of this list.
