Why Pick a Luxury Motor Yacht Charter in Greece?
A primary advantage of motor yachts lies in their speed, facilitating the ability to cover longer distances in a shorter time — a huge benefit given the large stretches of open sea among the Aegean Islands.

Anchoring and Docking with a Large Motor Yacht in Greece
A luxury yacht charter in the Greek islands is most likely to start in Athens due to the presence of several superyacht marinas like Zea Marina, Alimos Marina or the Olympic Marina.
Only a handful of superyacht charter locations have marinas that can accommodate larger motor yachts, and those that do are often hindered by stringent bureaucracy and higher tax rates, unlike the island group of Greece.
Numerous Mediterranean locations have started prohibiting larger yachts from anchoring just anywhere, “forcing” the yachts to use the marinas. With docking fees between a few thousand to over ten thousand euros (Capri is a case in point, but Greece isn’t much cheaper), the ability to take advantage of the yacht’s anchor and stabilizers is therefore ever more important.

Where to go on a Motor Yacht Charter in Greece
Although the number of luxury yachts in Greece is growing faster than the number of berths available, the superyacht segment is well catered for at the major island chains– in the Ionian islands as well as the Cyclades and parts of the Dodecanese Islands. These are also the most popular destinations.
Embarking on a yacht charter in Greece’s enchanting islands provides a respite from the hustle of daily life. Cruise to the Ionian Islands, Saronic Islands, Cyclades Islands, or mainland Greece, immersing yourself in lazy days of discovery amidst Greek culture, historical marvels, crystal-clear waters, and secluded sandy beaches—including the renowned Shipwreck Beach at Zakynthos.
Explore picturesque harbors and whitewashed, traditional fishing villages, and dine on fresh seafood and local delicacies at charming tavernas. Uncover ancient ruins, from the iconic Acropolis in Rhodes to the historic island of Delos and the Olympian temples in Katákolon.

ELEMENT
Motor Yacht Charters for Large Groups (12+ Guests)
If a superyacht wishes to accommodate more than 12 guests (this refers to guests who sleep onboard and is excluding crew), it crosses a threshold for safety that mandates that it must be considered a crew ship.
This means additional regulations for life rafts, lifeboats, and other security elements and protocols more comparable to those of commercial liners.
For this reason, most motor yachts in Greece will accommodate only up to 12 guests.
These regulations do not exist in Croatia and Turkey, which are, therefore, popular destinations for large-group charters. However, if you do wish to have your large group charter in Greece, we can help you find a yacht with the right license.

Best Motor Yacht Charter Areas in Greece
The Greek Islands offer some of the most stunning motor yacht destinations, perfect for both first-time and seasoned charterers.
While many motor yachts are based in Athens/Piraeus, you can also find charters in marinas across Greece, including Thessaloniki, Chalkidiki, Skiathos, Volos, Mykonos, Corfu, and Rhodes.
The Cyclades are a must-visit, though the distances between islands can be quite large. For example, it’s about 150 miles from Athens to Santorini. To avoid long sea journeys, consider starting your charter in the Cyclades, such as from Mykonos or Santorini, especially since weather conditions, like the Meltemi winds, can impact travel plans.
Gathering information directly from charter captains, we have compiled this list of the Top 10 Best Yacht Charter Destinations in the Cyclades.
For those looking to minimize travel time at sea, the Saronic Gulf is ideal. Islands like Hydra, Spetses, and Poros are closer together, making for shorter, more enjoyable hops between destinations. This area is perfect for first-time charterers.
Although Cyclades gets all the hype, the Saronic Gulf is on the preferred charter area of most Captains we have talked to. Why? One reason is the islands are closer together, meaning less chance of a disrupted itinerary when the Meltemi winds blow strong. Captains recommend these Top 5 Saronic Islands.
The Ionian Islands, including Corfu, are growing in popularity due to their calm winds and closer island proximities, which make for easy island hopping. Starting from Athens and cruising through the Corinth Canal to the Ionian Sea offers a unique and spectacular experience. This region is becoming increasingly popular as more infrastructure is built to accommodate larger yachts.
Check out our most popular 7-day Ionian Islands Yacht charter Itinerary
The Dodecanese Islands are another excellent destination, offering a mix of vibrant culture and historical sites. Islands like Rhodes provide a unique blend of ancient ruins and modern amenities. The Dodecanese are less crowded than some other Greek destinations, allowing for a more relaxed and intimate yachting experience.

Advice for Booking Your Yacht Charter in Greece
Pick a Newer Motor Yacht and Save $$ with Better Fuel Efficiency
It is no secret that, compared to sailing yachts, motor yachts consume a large amount of fuel and generally entail significantly higher charter costs. This might be a pivotal consideration for those planning a charter in Greece on a budget.
But, for those set on a motor yacht, it is worth looking at newer motor yachts rather than older models. Although an older motor yacht might have a cheaper initial cost, the better fuel efficiency of a newer engine will save you money in the long run.
Don’t Set Your Budget Too Low
We have seen a significant increase in size among top-tier motor yachts in recent years allowing for the accommodation of larger groups of guests, along with the inclusion of amenities and luxuries previously uncommon, such as generous water toy collections, open-air Jacuzzis, and much more.
Spending a little more on a motor yacht can get you a lot more for your $$!
Understand the real cost of a yacht charter to ensure you have the right expectations.
Book Early to Secure Your Preferred Yacht
Make sure to book your Greek yacht charter well in advance. Ideally, you would inquire about your coming charter 12 months in advance.
WHY? The best charter yachts are often fully booked long in advance and it’s not unusual to see popular dates booked 2 summers ahead for a Greece yacht charter. Inquiring less than 6 months ahead often means that your first choice is unavailable for charter.
Types of Crewed Yacht Charters in Greece
Still not sure what yacht type is right for your yacht charter in Greece? Here, you can read about catamarans, sailing yachts, and large luxury charter yachts.
A quick piece of advice for when you consider your crewed yacht: If you want the most affordable option and a sailing adventure, pick a sailing yacht; if you want more comfort and space, pick a catamaran; if you want ultimate luxury and speed, pick a luxury yacht. Bon Voyage!
