Top 10 Greece Catamaran Charters for 2024-2025!

Catamarans are a popular way of chartering in the Greek islands. The base charter fee is significantly lower compared to other boats and especially to motor yachts. A yacht charter on the Greek island hopping sailing trip is challenging for novice sailors. So, guests with a larger group opt for a catamaran charter.

Due to the lower sailing speeds of catamarans, the most popular sailing vacation spots to charter are the Saronic Gulf and Ionian Islands, all beautiful greek islands Aegean sea with some of the best beaches, and short distances for island hopping. The Cyclades islands are reachable with a crewed catamaran charter, but weather dependent due to strong “meltemi” winds in the summer.

Inquire about starting your luxury crewed catamaran charter in the Cyclades Islands or the Ionian Islands- we are able to provide a list of yachts that are in the area, available for your luxury Yacht charter vacation in Greece.

Santorini is a popular request for crewed catamaran charters. Reaching it from Athens on a 7 day charter is always subject to weather conditions. Inquire about options to start your charter in the Cyclades to make sure you hit your favorite location! Inquiring early is always advisable.

Over the last couple of years, we have seen an increase in the popularity of crewed catamaran charters in Greece. Popular with first-time charterers, catamarans are a great entry point into the world of crewed charters. Catamarans have low fuel consumption and can often accommodate up to 10 guests, leaving a higher percentage of the Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) for food and drinks.

Another trend of the crewed catamarans in Greece is their increasing size. A few years ago, there were only a few luxury catamarans over 50 feet. The new catamarans in the fleet are much longer; some are over 70 feet and feature a jacuzzi!

ADVANTAGES OF CREWED CATAMARAN CHARTER GREECE

Catamarans are considered sailing yachts and often can leave port when motor yachts are forbidden to sail. A typical situation is August in the Cyclades Islands, where the Meltemi (strong, annual northerly winds) can keep a significant number of yachts grounded. Choosing catamaran sailing allows the captain to use the leeward side of the islands to navigate in protected waters (as far as wind and waves are concerned), taking advantage of the best sailing conditions in the greek archipelagos.

Athens (possibly the Marina Alimos) is the starting location of a typical crewed catamaran charter. Being lighter than the super motor yachts, catamarans can perhaps reach more of the beautiful beaches and secluded coves scattered around the coastline of the greek islands.

The smaller sailing yachts usually accommodate fewer people than catamarans, making the cost per guest higher, while, the larger sailing boats are often more expensive (due to crew size, maintenance costs, boat size, and berthing fees) and are considered more of a luxury.

On the other hand, Motor yachts can host a similar number of guests (up to 12) but at an even higher cost per passenger. Incorporating the APA – especially the cost of fuel (some motor yachts can consume up to 600 liters per hour) makes the difference even more dramatic.
