“We had a great time in Greece”

We had a great time in Greece, the first three days we had constant 20-25knots of wind, so we were able to do a lot of sailing. The boat was also in good condition and everything in working order…the boat did however look a bit older than a 2018 mode…

Laura Cantwell

Incredible experience. We spent a week in Greece on a cabin charter and every day was more enjoyable than the last. The locations were stunning, the skipper was super knowledgeable, and the boat itself was a blast. Can't wait to book again.

Greece Yacht Charters

Greece is a country in Southeast Europe, which is located in the Balkans. The country is embossed in four seas: the Aegean Sea, the Ionian Sea, the Cretan Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea . Due to its advantageous location, Greece possesses one of the longest coastlines in the world. This outstanding feature makes the country an incredibly famous sailing destination. Beautiful golden beaches along the island, emerald transparent waters, pine forests in the mountains, and extremely pleasant weather will not leave any sailor indifferent. Deciding to charter a shining yacht, you make an investment in unforgettable memories and the desire to come back as a matter of course. 

The reasons for which one must visit Greece are difficult to count as it has a lot to offer for everyone. Rich history, glorious past, impressive ancient buildings, delicious food and wine, an abundance of celebrations and festivals are waiting for you to explore the picturesque region. The pristine nature of Athens, Volos, Corfu, Kavala, and other Greek cities and perfect weather conditions create an ideal opportunity to rent a boat and melt into the pleasure.   

Sailing Conditions in Greece

Being situated in Southeast Europe, Greece welcomes sailors from around the globe to feel all the benefits of the Mediterranean climate. Hot and dry summers with rare precipitation and clear skies provide a good opportunity for yacht rental without any fear of possible rains and extreme winds. The average temperature during the summer period never drops below 20 ºC even at night. It is impossible to miss such great weather and not to go far in the sea on your sailboat to enjoy the 30 ºC heat in the daytime. Greek winters are usually colder, especially in those areas that are close to mountains. But they are not lingering and not so cold to somehow disturb dedicated sailors. The sailing season usually starts in March and continues up to November, bringing different sailing conditions to the island.

Best Times for Vacation in Greece

Having an intention to make the most of your sailboat vacation in the breathtaking destination, it is necessary to get acquainted with the weather conditions of the desired period. As a rule, the peak season of sailing occurs in the summer months and up to the end of September . This time features extremely high air and water temperature and a huge number of sailors even in the remote marinas. By the way, Greek summers are an ideal time for those who are ready to forget about sleep and party the whole night. One of the most important things to consider is that in July, the northern wind Meltemi comes to the shore and creates many hazardous obstacles for sailing.

Spring and autumn wind speeds and summer conditions force you to choose this time period if you are looking for peace and quiet. There is no extreme heat and strong winds, as well as no abundance of people. You still can enjoy going bareboat without any unpleasant conditions and immerse yourself into the same active and loud festivals and celebrations.

Sailing Difficulty Level

Greece has already gained its high popularity as one of the world’s best sailing destinations . Because of its climate and location, the country represents great sailing options for beginners and professional sailors alike. The weather changes require sailors to explore the weather forecast beforehand to select the desired time for coming and know what to expect. The level of difficulty is mostly predetermined by the Meltemi wind of 6-8 force. Blowing from July to September may scary fresh sailors and even become a challenge for experienced professionals. If you are not highly skillful and just do not have enough confidence to manage the vessel by yourself, consider booking a boat in spring or autumn. The absence of powerful winds will not spoil your first sailing experience but contribute to positive impressions.

If you are still not ready to face the open water, 12 Knots is glad to provide you with the help of a qualified skipper and an opportunity to hire a crew . Being focused on the needs and desires of every sailor, we offer either a skipper to help to refresh the memories of handling a boat or a complete training process in our sailing school. Both options are delivered at their best quality and reasonable price.

Main Charter Bases

Greece is an incredibly important sailing destination for 12 Knots. Welcoming thousands of happy sailors every year, the country has a lot of well-equipped marinas and good mooring options. Depending on the desired part of the country, preferred city, and climate peculiarities, you may select a perfect one. The team of 12 Knots spreads their professional services on more than 30 bases along the coast. You may rent a yacht or boat at bases situated in the most famous Greek cities and islands:

• Santorini  and many others

Boat Types for Charters

Having a great number of bases in possession, 12 Knots aims to provide sailors with powerful sailboats from leading manufacturers. Approximately 6,000 vessels are now available for charter in Greece. Sailing yachts, catamarans, powerboats, gulets, and houseboats are waiting for your booking. Do not hesitate and contact our team to become an owner of a white shining boat at a good cost. It is advisable to perform booking beforehand to avoid disappointment and misunderstanding.

A Comprehensive Breakdown of Greek Yacht Charter Costs

August 15, 2024

💡 Key Factors Influencing Greek Yacht Charter Costs:

• Yacht Type and Size: For crewed yacht charters in Greece, the base charter fee starts at around €10,000 per week. But from there, the range is wide -it really depends on the yacht type: Is it a motor yacht, catamaran, or sailing yacht? How big is it, and what is the level of luxury?
• The APA ( Advance Provisioning Allowance ): The APA is usually a set percentage of the base charter fee (25-40% in Greece, depending on yacht type) -lower for sailing yachts and higher for motor yachts due to higher fuel consumption.
• The Greek Charter Tax (VAT): The VAT on yacht charters in Greece typically starts at 24%, but reductions can lower it significantly, depending on the charter’s duration. For charters longer than 48 hours, the VAT can be reduced to about 12% . The exact rate depends on the type of yacht and other specifics of the charter.
• Crew Tipping: Tipping practices are different for different types of yachts and levels of luxury: The usual recommended tip for yacht crew is about 10% to 20% of the charter fee , depending on the level of service received.

What is Covered in the Charter Fee?

Many crewed charters in Greece follow a ‘plus-expenses’ pricing structure . This base charter fee typically includes the cost of the yacht rental for the agreed period, the full crew, and access to all water sports toys and equipment onboard.

However, additional expenses such as food, drinks, fuel, crew tips, and docking fees are not included in the base price. These extra costs are covered through an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA), which is a deposit paid before the trip to cover these additional expenses.

What is Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA)?

The Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) is a budget additional to the base yacht charter fee set aside in a separate APA account. The APA covers costs like fuel, food, drinks, port fees , and any other miscellaneous expenses that occur during the yacht charter.

APA is a standard practice in Mediterranean crewed luxury yacht charters. On all yachts operating under   MYBA terms, the APA amount is outlined in the charter agreement and is usually set at around 25-40% of the base charter fee.

In the Caribbean, charter fees are often all-inclusive , meaning the APA is already calculated into the total charter price.

The idea of the APA is to have a fund that the yacht captain can use to provision the boat according to your preferences and needs without needing to clear every expense with you during the trip. At the end of the charter, the captain will provide an itemized list of all expenditures , and if the Advance Provisioning Allowance exceeds the costs, you will get a refund of the difference . If the costs exceed the APA, you’ll need to pay the extra amount.

📣 market trend 2024.

In a stunning twist to the booming yacht charter industry, Greece is witnessing an unprecedented trend: luxury yachts are slashing prices, defying expectations after a record-setting summer in 2022. Despite adding 235 new crewed boats to its fleet and extensive refurbishments funded by the EU, the allure of Greek waters isn’t translating into higher prices—a reflection of broader challenges, including spiking airfares and infrastructural strains.

Ready to Start Your Yacht Charter Vacation?

How much should i tip the crew.

When it comes to tipping crew members on a yacht charter, the general guideline is to offer a gratuity that reflects the quality of service provided.

Typically, tips range from 5% to 15% of the total charter fee , depending on the location and the customary practices there. For example, in the Mediterranean, it’s common to tip towards the lower end of this range, while in the US and Caribbean, gratuities at the higher end are more typical.

All crew members usually share in the gratuity, regardless of their specific roles, as they all contribute to the overall experience of the charter. It’s customary to hand the total tip to the captain , who will distribute it among the crew.

Payment is generally made at the end of the charter, and while cash is often preferred , other arrangements can sometimes be made through your charter broker or by other means agreed upon.

The expected tip can also be influenced by the type of yacht and the level of luxury and service provided. High-end luxury yacht charters expect higher tipping, reaching up to 30% , reflecting the elevated service level.

💡 Tips to Saving Money on Your Yacht Charter

• Pick a yacht with good fuel efficiency: Newer yachts typically have newer engines and much better fuel efficiency. This can make a huge difference at the end of a one-week charter. If you really want to save on fuel, choose a catamaran or a sailing yacht and take advantage of the wind!
• Split the bill:  A really good way to get down your yacht charter spending without compromising on luxury is to share your yacht charter with a group of friends or family. Lots of yachts these days are set up for multiple couples, with 4-5 cabins for 10-12 people, large dining areas, and water toys enough for a whole team.
• Don’t be over ambitious: Lots of charter guests come with a big wish list of places to see while on their charter. But in reality, it is not nice to be on the move all the time. Choosing shorter distances will save you serious dollars on fuel!
• Get great deals outside of high season: The months of May-June and September-October are quieter and less crowded as far as anchorages and routes are concerned. During this time, the motor charter rates are considerably cheaper than during the high season.

"...we are upfront about the charter fee."

“The reason why 99% of our clients get excess APA returned to them at the end of their charter is because we are upfront about the charter fee.”

Jun 4, 2024, this was a trip of a lifetime.

This was a trip of a lifetime! We booked with Nadja at DMA yachting and she made sure the entire process was easy and no problems. Our charter was with Zuri3 and our Captain Andre and First Mate Jana made our trip amazing! They made sure everything was taken care and treated us like royalty. This is not just a vacation this is an experience of a lifetime.

Louis was great from beginning to end and walked me through the whole process. He helped me find a great boat that fit within our time and cost preferences. He explained the differences between the different builds and the pros and cons. Once we selected the boat, he explained and walked me through the whole booking process and answered all my questions. Finally, he checked in with me before, during, and after the charter to make sure everything met our expectations. I can’t recommend Louis enough if you are planning a charter, and I will definitely be in touch for our next trip!

What can I do with a yacht rental in Greece?

As Greece is located in southern Europe and enveloped by the Aegean, Cretan, Libyan and Ionian seas, a yacht rental in Greece has all the ingredients for a perfect holiday. Drop anchor for the day and explore the historic city of Athens, or choose Crete for your day trip and revel in the beautiful mountain ranges that cross the island. Filled with peninsulas and islands that are ripe for exploration, you can choose a route that takes in the scenery of Santorini , Corfu , Mykonos or Paros . Check out one of our recommended routes for Greece from Athens to Milos .

Other Sailing areas in Greece

Those renting in or visiting Athens should take some time to visit the iconic Acropolis and Parthenon. You can view the Acropolis in the evening from terrace bars such as 360 Cocktail Bar - a personal favourite! Avid gin lovers should also pop into Gin Joint and feast their eyes on all the incredible types of gins and inventive concoctions!

Scrumptious Greek food can be sampled (or devoured) at Tzitzikas Kai Mermigas and The Karamanlidika Fanis.

The Cyclades also offer exciting and luxurious opportunities. Moor in Mykonos and watch the sunset with a cool glass of champagne in view of the windmills of Kato Mili. The bar and nightlife here are chic, relaxed and oh-so-fun! 

The Cyclades consist of many islands you can venture to on your luxury yacht charter in Greece. Snap away at Santorini’s spectacular mountainous landscape layered with pretty white houses and blue-domed churches. 

You have many options for your yacht rental in Greece and so many things to do! Don't miss out!

What are the most popular islands to visit in Greece? 

There isn’t really a definitive answer regarding which is the best Greek island to visit with your boat charter as each island has something unique to offer.  If you want to be privy to some of the most sensational sunsets in the Mediterranean, Santorini is the spot for you. The magnificent views and luxurious atmosphere of the island make it especially popular with honeymooners or couples looking for a romantic getaway. It also has a number of spectacular natural wonders, none more impressive than the underwater volcano that still simmers away to this day. 

If Ancient Greek culture fascinates you, Crete is the island for you. The excavations at Knossos, which was at the heart of the Minoan civilisation are some of the most well-known in Greece and many of the finds are now on display in the Archaeology Museum of Heraklion. Ancient architecture is not all that Crete is good for though. It is also one of the best places to visit if you’re searching for secluded coves and hiking trails. The best beaches include those such as Preveli, Potamos, and Elafonissi. 

If you want to visit some of the best beaches in the Mediterranean, Zakynthos is a good bet. Shipwreck Beach, so-called for the shipwreck that lies in the middle, is only accessible by boat, making it fairly secluded, in spite of its popularity. The Blue Caves at Cape Skinari are another reason to visit Zakynthos.  Visit them and marvel at the seemingly neon glow of the light reflecting off the water onto the walls. 

If you're in a party mood, you should go to Mykonos . While this island is every bit as beautiful as the other islands listed here, Mykonos is primarily known for its party scene, consisting mostly of beach clubs with lively dance music. 

What weather and sailing conditions can you expect when you rent a yacht in Greece?

The weather in Greece, following the Mediterranean climate, from May to October is sublime. For those who enjoy scorching temperatures, visit in July and August when temperatures are 30°C+ and you can cool off in the pleasant sea waters. 

The Meltemi wind usually blows in a northerly direction during the summer and can sometimes reach powerful wind forces depending on the area. This is worth researching, as areas in Greece vary. For example, in the Ionian Islands, the wind force in July and August ranges from 4-6, whereas in the Cyclades the wind force averages from 5-7. 

What are the most popular ports to visit during a yacht hire in Greece?

Our yacht rentals are based all over Greece. You can start your yacht charter in the majestic and powerfully historic city of Athens, or alternatively, fly directly to an international island airport and go from there.

In Athens, you can rent a yacht in Marina Kalamaki, just 6 miles away from Athens city centre. 

In Mykonos, you can rent a yacht in ports such as Tourlos Marina, Ornos and Platis Gialos Harbour. 

We also rent yachts in the Cyclades and Ionian Islands , as well as the Saronic Gulf .

One of the top benefits of sailing Greek waters is that often you are not required to pay a mooring fee! Occasionally, the local authorities may ask you to pay a small fee of around $20 for vessels sized 38 ft and under.

Sandy beaches lapped by turquoise waters, striking interiors, and pretty whitewashed buildings are the hallmarks of Mykonos. This Greek Island is known for its ultra-hip nightspots that attract internationally acclaimed DJs, refined beach restaurants, and label-laden boutiques.

Pretty Crete is one of the largest and most populous islands in Greece, known for its rich culture, superb cuisine, and spectacular National Park. Explore cities steeped in history and fascinating ancient ruins such as Knossos, first occupied during the Neolithic era, 7,000 B.C.

There’s lots going on in Rhodes, with plenty to see and do, making it a popular yachting destination. Rhode’s Medieval Old Town is a must-visit and is regarded as one of the best-fortified cities in Europe. On Rhodes, you’ll also find the ancient Lindos Acropolis.

While not technically a Greek island, mainland Greece should not be ignored. Athens is brimming with Greek culture and mythology, exclusive restaurants, designer boutiques, and world-class offerings.

Yacht Rental Greece

In the heart of the Mediterranean, the sapphire blue sea encloses a land where the ancient gods once reigned supreme, a world carved by the patient yet relentless hands of geological time. Like the scorching sun kissing the landscape of olive groves and ancient ruins, the essence of Greece seems forever entwined with the sea that surrounds it.

Renting a yacht in Greece provides the traveller with an unrivalled way to experience the shimmering necklace of islands that scatter across the Aegean and Ionian Seas .

As you sail from harbour to secluded cove, from bustling port to the tranquillity of an untouched beach, the grand theatre of life unfolds before your eyes. Yachting opens up opportunities for encounters with the playful dolphins that escort you through the waves, the regal falcons soaring above rocky crags, and the ceaseless rhythm of the tides that have whispered the same tune for eons.

The Considerations of Voyage: A Primer on Yacht Rental

Embarking on a yacht rental in Greece necessitates careful consideration of numerous factors to ensure the journey is not only enjoyable, but also respectful of the delicate marine ecosystems you traverse.

⛵ Seasons and Climate

The Mediterranean climate, with its dry summers and mild, wet winters, dictates the rhythms of life in the Grecian seas. The peak yachting season aligns with the sun-drenched days from May to October. Outside these months, the waters can be turbulent, the skies grey and the weather unpredictable.

⛵ Nautical Skills

A keen understanding of nautical navigation and maritime safety is essential. Many yacht rentals offer the service of an experienced skipper, adept at reading the changing moods of the sea. They serve as your guide through the waters, ensuring a safe passage while you soak in the beauty of the Grecian archipelagos.

⛵ Environmental Consciousness

As an unobtrusive visitor to the marine environment, it is incumbent upon you to uphold a sense of environmental stewardship. Waste disposal, energy consumption, and respect for local wildlife are all aspects that need to be managed responsibly to protect the enchanting biodiversity of the Grecian seas.

The Ideal Vessel: Choosing Your Yacht

The choice of your vessel is paramount, and largely dependent on the desired balance of luxury, speed, and capacity. For the sun-soaked waters of Greece, several types of yachts offer a unique blend of these features.

⛵ The Luxury Superyacht

For those seeking utmost indulgence, the luxury superyacht is an unrivalled choice. Equipped with an array of modern amenities, the superyacht offers a level of comfort that rivals any five-star resort. Yet, it goes beyond this. Imagine waking to a changing view each morning, the endless blue stretching out before you as the shoreline transforms from the honey-hued cliffs of Santorini to the verdant hills of Zakynthos.

⛵ The Sleek Catamaran

The catamaran offers stability and ample space, with its twin-hulled design. This is an ideal choice for families or larger groups. Their shallower draft allows you to navigate closer to the islands, exploring hidden coves and secluded beaches. The gentle rhythm of the catamaran ensures a smooth journey across the placid summer seas of Greece.

⛵ The Classic Sailing Yacht

For the true sailing aficionado, there is nothing quite like a traditional sailing yacht. Harnessing the power of the wind, these vessels offer a more intimate experience with the elements. Sailing yachts demand a greater degree of skill and knowledge, but reward with an exhilarating connection to the sea and the wind.

In the radiant glow of the Grecian sun and the lull of the undulating sea, the act of yachting in Greece becomes not just a journey through space, but also through time. A voyage that carries the promise of encounters with awe-inspiring ecosystems, of rediscovering the ancient roots of Western civilisation, and of basking in the tranquil luxury that only a yacht can offer. It is, in essence, a way of becoming part of the timeless narrative of the sea.

Navigating Your Grecian Voyage: Addressing Common Queries

In our shared voyage across the sparkling waters and sun-drenched isles of Greece, we understand that many questions may arise. Here, we anticipate your inquiries, addressing them in the spirit of shared discovery and our mutual fascination for this ancient sea-bound nation.

What is the best time to rent a yacht in Greece?

The best time to embark on a yachting journey in Greece is typically between May and October, when the Mediterranean climate offers warm, sun-filled days and calm seas. This period is the high season for yacht rentals, offering a perfect blend of favourable weather and vibrant island life.

What kind of yacht should I rent?

The choice of yacht is largely dependent on your personal preferences and needs. For larger groups and families, a catamaran offers ample space and stability. If luxury and comfort are paramount, consider a superyacht, which offers a host of modern amenities. For those seeking a more intimate connection with the sea, a traditional sailing yacht can be an exhilarating choice.

Do I need a license to sail in Greece?

The Greek authorities require at least one member of the crew to have a valid International Certificate of Competence (ICC) or an equivalent national certificate from your country of residence. If you do not have sailing qualifications, hiring a skipper is a popular option. The skipper can safely navigate the boat while you relax and enjoy the journey.

How can I respect the environment during my yacht rental?

Practicing environmentally friendly sailing involves a variety of measures. Be mindful of waste disposal - many yachts are equipped with holding tanks or you can dispose of waste at port facilities. Limit your use of single-use plastics on board, and respect the local wildlife by maintaining a safe distance. Finally, be conscious of your energy consumption and try to maximise the use of sails over the engine when possible.

Can I visit multiple islands during my yacht rental?

Absolutely. The beauty of renting a yacht is the freedom it offers to explore multiple destinations. The Greek islands are well-suited to island hopping, with many desirable locations in close proximity to one another. This allows you to discover the unique charm of each island at your own pace.

In sharing these answers, we hope to enhance your understanding of what a yachting adventure in Greece entails. As always, our journey is enriched by your curiosity, and we stand ready to navigate these enchanting waters alongside you.

What type of boat is best for Greece?

When choosing the suitable boat for your yacht charter in Greece, think about the time you’ll spend on board. RIBS and motorboats are good choices for a few days, and you can rent them by the day .

A sailboat is the best option if you’re keen on a more traditional sailing experience . However, they aren’t recommended for inexperienced sailors or people prone to seasickness, as they can be unstable. Whichever yacht you choose, you will have the holiday of your dreams in Greece! Here is a quick overview of the available boats on Click&Boat in Greece:

Yacht Charter Greece

Greece sailing.

Sailing in Greece is one of the most pleasurable ways to discover its myriad of islands, quaint fishing villages, lonely bays and remote islands. Whether it’s the bigger, more cosmopolitan islands with their spectacular beaches packed with sun-worshippers and exciting nightlife; or the quieter, off-the-beaten track destinations of the lesser-known Greece that strike a chord with you, sailing around these sun-kissed Greek Islands is surely an experience to be sought out. Over 3000 islands await you with relatively small distances between them, making sailing navigation straightforward and one can island-hop by sailboat from one side of the Aegean to the other, or perhaps explore all seven islands on the Ionian side by motorboat.   Generally good conditions and hot, bright summer days, as well as some of the best coastal boating waters to be found, offer an ideal climate for chartering a yacht.

From the moment of initial contact with Captain Yiannis, everything was seamless.

Our experience has been nothing short of exceptional.

From the moment of initial contact with Captain Yiannis, everything was seamless. This company and the entire team could not have been more helpful! We live in the USA and never had a problem with communication. The Catamaran we selected was the Lagoon 450F. It was beautiful, spacious, clean, and easy to live on for a week as we sailed to beautiful beaches.

The Ionian Islands we visited were breathtaking, especially Kefalonia – it was our favorite! Above all, the feeling of safety that Captain George ensured throughout our trip made our journey even more memorable. We can’t wait to experience it again.

So, if you’re looking for an unforgettable sailing experience around the Greek Islands with a professional company and a knowledgeable and friendly guide, look no further!

We made it back safely and happily to Paros today. Yianni showed us secluded beaches, surprising chortas and agreed to take us to santorini even though he hates sailing there!

The best tavernas for dining and the most interesting places to visit.

My friends and I had a terrific sailing trip with Cpt. Yiannis. We sailed islands from Athens to Milos for a week. [...] Captain Yiannis was not only an outstanding skipper, but he also is a very knowledgeable tour guide. [...] Also, he had tremendous knowledge of any island we stopped on the way and recommended the best tavernas for dining and the most interesting places to visit.

The captain was very professional and sailed extremely safe and responsible. Great guy, a great captain, thank you, Captain Yiannis!

Remis – Boston, USA June 26, 2021

Yannis gave us the ideal family yacht

We had a wonderful week of sailing in the Saronic Gulf end of August. Yannis gave us the ideal family yacht for this bareboat charter trip . Together with the charter company we felt us in very good hands, for all questions we had. Except in this year 2020, with these special conditions!

Thanks Yiannis.

About Greece

Why is Greece a good sailing destination?

Welcome to Yachting.Rent, where we introduce you to the enchanting world of sailing in Greece.

Greece is a true paradise for sailing enthusiasts, offering an unmatched combination of historical grandeur, vibrant culture, and breathtaking natural beauty. From the sapphire-blue Aegean Sea to the striking Ionian Sea, this European gem is surrounded by waters that have captivated mariners for centuries.

Why is Greece a good sailing destination? The reasons are many. Here, you’ll find more than 6,000 islands and islets, each with its own unique charm. Whether you seek the world-famous allure of Santorini and Mykonos, the unspoiled tranquillity of lesser-known islands like Alonissos and Folegandros, or the rich history of Crete and Rhodes, Greece promises an island-hopping adventure like no other.

Greece’s climate is another draw for sailors. With long summers, warm waters, and a sailing season that extends from April to October, you can enjoy comfortable and favorable sailing conditions for most of the year. Whether you’re an experienced sailor or a novice eager to learn, the variety of wind conditions across different regions can cater to every skill level.

But the wonders of Greece are not confined to its seas. The country is steeped in history and culture, with ancient ruins, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, vibrant festivals, and delicious Mediterranean cuisine awaiting at every port. The locals are known for their hospitality, ensuring a warm welcome wherever you drop anchor.

Our expert team and top-notch yacht selection provide everything you need to embark on an unforgettable journey through the azure Greek waters. Join us, and discover why Greece is a sailing destination loved by many around the world.

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Greece

At Yachting.Rent, we know that the right vessel is essential to a fulfilling sailing adventure. When it comes to Greece, the dilemma often lies in the choice between a sailing boat and a catamaran. Each has its unique features and benefits, and we’re here to help you make the perfect choice for your dream Greek sailing experience.

If you’re looking for a more traditional sailing experience, a sailing boat might be your preferred choice. These boats can navigate in narrower channels and smaller harbors, ideal for some of Greece’s less-traveled islands. The keel design of monohull sailboats allows them to sail close to the wind, providing a thrilling and responsive sailing experience. On deck, you’ll feel a closer connection to the water and wind, making it perfect for the true sailing enthusiast.

On the other hand, if space, stability, and comfort are high on your priority list, a catamaran could be your ideal vessel. With their dual-hull design, catamarans offer a spacious layout with larger living areas, ideal for families or groups. The wide beam also provides enhanced stability, reducing the roll of the boat and making it a favorable choice for those prone to seasickness. Catamarans also have a shallow draft, meaning they can venture closer to shore and explore secluded, shallow bays that are inaccessible for deeper monohull boats.

No matter what your preference, Yachting.Rent has an extensive selection of both sailing boats and catamarans. All our vessels are maintained to the highest standards, and our team is dedicated to matching you with the perfect boat for your needs and desires.

With Yachting.Rent, your Greek sailing adventure is just a few clicks away. Whether you choose to navigate the azure waters in a graceful sailing boat or a comfortable catamaran, Greece’s unparalleled beauty awaits you.

Skippered yacht charter greece.

Sailing holidays on a yacht rental is not just for sailors. It is for everyone seeking something more than the sea, the sun, and a sunbed. We provide professionally trained skippers for those who wish to rent a yacht and enjoy relaxing sailing holidays in Greece or those who wish to get involved and learn the ropes and the sails during a skippered yacht charter in Greece. After all, learning how to sail is easy. Depending on crew eagerness, our skipper will not only show how to navigate but will also provide firsthand knowledge of the Greek island destinations.

• need more experience and more confidence to take a yacht rental on their own
• want to get familiar with the Greek waters (first time to Greece)
• need a hand because no other in their crew may provide sufficient help
• need a guide to be with them and show the best coves and secluded bays for moorage and/or swimming, as well as the best places in seaside villages to eat and drink
• want to relax and enjoy leaving the helm and sails in the hands of someone who can be trusted

Our skippers are hospitable, friendly, discrete and knowledgeable about every destination and you will discuss together your preferences and plan your route. Choosing a skippered yacht charter, you also hire the skipper who will take care of the yacht for you and will ensure that you get the most out of your sailing holidays in Greece. When you select from our yachts for rent, keep in mind that you have to provide a cabin or berth in cabin for your skipper as he is obliged to sleep on board. Apart from the skipper’s fee, you have to also provide his meals either from the meals you prepare on board or at an eating place ashore. The skipper’s fee, regardless of the season and the people on board, is €140 to €190 depending on the yacht rental. You may wish to hire also a cook/hostess. The fee per day is generally 10 euro less than the skipper’s and you need to provide berth and meals as for the skipper. The running expenses for a skippered yacht charter are just like those of a bareboat charter (fuel, gas, water, meals, port/marina fees, etc.), plus the costs for the hired crew as above. Although some of our yacht rentals are offered only skippered (yacht charter prices include skipper’s fee), you may choose any of our bareboat charter yachts fitting your needs and let us know if you wish to have a skipper (select the check-box on the form of the yacht rental booking request).

The Greek unspoiled coastline and offshore islands have so many spectacular spots to visit that it is a natural start to any itinerary. Skippered yacht charter in Greece is all about your own private cruise where you can plan your own itinerary and visit exactly the places and attractions you want, from some of the world’s few truly iconic destinations to serene coves that are not accessible by land.

Frequently asked questions

Once we receive your request, we will confirm the availability of the boat, as well as check for alternative ones. To ensure your experience is the best it can be, we may contact you to discuss your request in detail. Let us do the research for you - free of charge.

You can get in touch with the captain as soon as you’ve completed your booking. Our captains are highly qualified and knowledgeable about their locality.

The Charter Fee is an additional, obligatory cost, which typically includes the end cleaning of the boat, home port fees, and linen & towels. The details of the charter fee differ depending on the boat, location and charter partner.

There are marina fees and fuel costs which vary depending on the type, duration and location of your sailing holiday. Marina fees need to be paid at each marina you choose to dock overnight - the amount varies but you may be able to find this information in advance by contacting the marinas directly. Fuel costs depend on whether you’re sailing a motorboat or a sailboat. You can estimate fuel costs by double-checking your chosen boat’s engine, and the expected distance you aim to sail.

Boat Charter in Greece

Embark on an unforgettable journey with a Greece boat charter : Immerse yourself in the allure of a nation boasting over 6,000 islands and more than 13,500 km of breathtaking coastline. Navigate from one enchanting island to another, take a refreshing dip in stunning bays, and uncover ancient ruins as you set sail to your next destination. Your holiday takes on a whole new dimension as you explore the mesmerizing Greek islands on a memorable boat charter adventure.

What kind of boat licence do you need when sailing in Greece?

Small boats with less than 30hp don’t require a boat licence in Greece , but in general, you need to have a valid boat licence when renting a boat in Greece. Your safest bet is to carry an International Certificate of Competency or short ICC to operate a boat in Greece. If you are an EU citizen, your boat licence is automatically valid in Greece, citizens of other countries need to ensure that their boat licence meets the requirements of the Greek boat licence . Before your boat charter in Greece , you need to ensure that you carry a boat licence with you in either English or Greek. When your licence is issued in a different language, you need to get it translated into either English or Greek. This is particularly important as the Greek authorities check your documents to ensure that the Greek waters remain a safe space for everyone operating a water vehicle here.

Charter a boat in Greece with a skipper


Don’t have a Greek boat licence or prefer to spend your vacation without any worries on a boat hire in Greece ? Book a skipper or captain in addition to your boat and enjoy your boat holiday. A skipper will navigate and operate the boat, plan the best routes while staying open-minded to your wishes and ideas, and tell the most amazing stories of adventures on a boat. Believe me, you will be grateful to have someone so experienced with you on a boat - especially if the weather suddenly changes or you’re lost.

Sailing Conditions in Greece

Whether you are seeking a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or fun with friends, you’ll be sure to find your piece of paradise on a sailing holiday in Greece . Greece enjoys a warm, sunny climate with a sailing season that starts as early as April and lasts throughout November.

Greece is the ideal location to charter a boat thanks to its pleasant weather conditions and winds that make sailing a breeze. Go island hopping in early or late summer (end of April until around mid-October) for the finest weather with sea temperatures in the low to mid-60s. Excellent sailing conditions for both beginners and experienced sailors ensure that you will enjoy your sailing vacation fully.

Going on a sailing holiday in Greece in the summer also means you’ll experience vibrant nightlife, bustling yacht parties, and inspiring landscapes full of blooming wildflowers, olive trees, and grapevines.

If you want to rent a sailboat, you should visit the places in Greece that offer the best wind conditions. Cruise around the inland sea, where you’ll find many harbours and anchorages in addition to ideal wind conditions. Many of the island regions offer ideal sailing conditions for chartering a yacht , including those located in the Saronic Islands and the Eastern coast of the Peloponnesian Gulf .

If you plan to charter a boat in the Cyclades , you should know that it is one of the most challenging, yet fun sailing areas due to strong winds in July and August. We recommend this route only to very experienced sailors.

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

The ideal time for a boat charter in Greece hinges upon your preferences and the experience you desire. Greece's peak season spans from late May to early September, marked by warm weather and tranquil waters, making it perfect for swimming, water sports, and exploring the dynamic Greek islands. If you rent a boat in Greece in July and August you can be sure to catch the warmest months and take advantage of the many parties happening during this time of year. For those seeking a quieter, more budget-conscious journey, the shoulder seasons of April to early May and late September to October offer appealing alternatives. When sailing in Greece in October or during other months of the shoulder season, you can still enjoy pleasant weather, but with fewer crowds, granting you the opportunity to savor Greece's beauty in a more intimate setting. Venturing to Greece during the winter months is typically discouraged, as many services and activities tend to shut down. Therefore, the best time for your Greek boat charter largely depends on whether you crave the lively spirit of summer or a more peaceful and cost-effective escape.

Sailing in High Season (July and August):

Advantages:

Sun-drenched days and clear skies for sunbathing and water activities.

Most tourist hotspots, restaurants, and nightlife options are in full swing.

Excellent for mingling and connecting with fellow travelers.

Disadvantages:

Crowds can be overwhelming in well-known tourist areas, potentially affecting the tranquility of certain anchorages.

Charter, accommodation, and dining prices tend to be higher.

Booking well in advance is essential due to high demand.

Sailing in Off-Shoulder Season (April to early May, late September to October):

Smaller crowds create a more peaceful and intimate ambiance.

Charters and accommodations are often more budget-friendly.

Weather remains pleasant for sailing and outdoor pursuits.

Sea temperatures may not be as ideal for swimming in April and October.

Limited nightlife options and reduced hours for some attractions.

Itineraries might need to be more adaptable due to occasional weather fluctuations.

In essence, the high season provides vibrant, sun-soaked experiences but comes with elevated costs and larger crowds. The off-shoulder season offers a quieter, budget-conscious option, with some possible weather limitations and fewer activity choices. Your choice between these two seasons should be guided by your personal preferences and priorities.

Who should hire a boat in Greece?

Greece , with its myriad sailing regions, offers an enticing proposition for boat rentals, catering to a wide spectrum of sailors, from beginners seeking calm waters to advanced mariners yearning for exhilarating challenges. Each region in Greece provides a unique and tailored experience based on the sailor's level of expertise, promising unforgettable adventures along the Mediterranean's azure coastlines.

When it comes to embarking on a boat rental adventure in Greece, individuals who are new to sailing will find a welcoming environment in the Saronic Gulf. This region offers sheltered bays and gentle winds, making it the perfect training ground for novice sailors. The calm waters create an ideal setting to develop sailing skills and build confidence.

Novice Sailors:

For those with some prior experience, the Ionian Islands present an ideal choice. Predictable breezes and serene seas characterize this region, providing an excellent opportunity for sailors to elevate their skills while still enjoying a relaxed and relatively stress-free environment.

Experienced Sailors:

More seasoned sailors seeking an exhilarating challenge will discover it in the Cyclades. With the renowned Meltemi winds, this region offers open-water passages and advanced navigation opportunities. It's a fantastic selection for those who relish the excitement of more demanding conditions and adventurous routes.

Advanced Sailors:

For the ultimate sailing challenge, the Dodecanese and the Sporades beckon. These regions boast stronger winds and more demanding conditions, making them the perfect choice for advanced sailors who seek thrilling adventures. Here, you can test your skills to the fullest and navigate through some of the most challenging waters in the Mediterranean.

Greece 's diverse regions offer tailored nautical experiences for sailors of all levels, ensuring an unforgettable adventure amidst the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean.

How much is it to charter a boat in Greece?

A boat hire in Greece doesn’t have to be expensive. On average it costs 50 EUR per person per day to rent a sailboat in Greece . It’s one of the cheapest and most popular options in this part of the Mediterranean. A motorboat is the priciest option with an average price of 190 EUR per person per night. Renting a catamaran comes at an average price of 150 EUR per person per day in Greece. If you are looking for a more affordable option, rent a gulet in Greece at an average price of 105 EUR per person per day or a RIB for 93 EUR per person per day. You see that it is not necessarily more expensive to rent a boat compared to a regular hotel room. After all, these are only average prices and you can rent boats in Greece cheaper than this. If you are just travelling as a couple, renting a small boat in Greece at a lower price might be a great option for your sailing holiday here.

A skippered yacht charter in Greece is the perfect choice for anyone looking to enjoy their holidays in the Mediterranean sun to the fullest without any worries. But keep in mind that the prices above are only average prices for bareboat charters. Booking a skippered yacht comes at a higher price.

What type of boat is best for sailing in Greece?

Depending on the type of boat holiday you want to experience when sailing in Greece, you should choose your boat wisely. Catamarans are the type of vehicle to rent if you want to go slower and take in your surroundings while enjoying all kinds of amenities on board that anyone could wish for while a sailboat is the type of boat you would rent when looking for an adventure in this part of the Mediterranean.

Rent a catamaran in Greece

Pros of renting a catamaran in Greece

Renting a catamaran in Greece comes with many advantages. Contrary to classic sailboats, catamarans don’t have a keel which might prevent you from sailing closer to the shore. And you do want to be as close to the shore as possible. After all, when anchoring in one of Greece’s many hidden bays with the most beautiful beaches, you wouldn’t want to waste all your precious time and energy to swim there for eternity or worse end up having to enjoy the view just from a distance.

Cons of renting a catamaran in Greece

Renting a catamaran in Greece is perfect for discovering the many natural wonders the country has to offer, but chartering a catamaran is not just pure joy and sunshine. As this type of boat stands on two hulls, a catamaran is usually quite big. This can make it difficult to moore in the marinas. During high season you might even struggle to find a spot where your boat fits. Additionally, mooring your catamaran at a marina might come at a higher price than mooring other types of water vehicles due its size. This is something to keep in mind - especially when trying to find a spot to spend the night.

Pros of a sailboat rental in Greece

The best spots for renting a sailboat in Greece are the Saronic Islands and the eastern coast of the Peloponnesian Gulf. If you are worried that you might not be experienced enough to sail these routes, you can always rent a sailboat with a skipper who can navigate and operate the boat in Greek waters.

The average price of renting a sailboat in Greece speaks for itself. It is one of the cheapest options to experience a boat holiday on the Greek islands.

Cons of a sailing yacht charter in Greece

If you are looking to discover stunning beaches like Kokkini Beach in Santorini, a sailboat is not the best choice. Due to the keel, it can become dangerous to sail in shallow waters and too close to the shore. This would be a downside of renting a sailboat.

Cons of renting a motorboat in Greece

Where to sail in Greece?

The sailing conditions in Greece are optimal for having a perfect charter experience! With consistent winds and sunny islands, many would even say that Greece is the best place in Europe to go sailing. With 6,000 islands and islets scattered around the Greek seas, picking where to sail can sometimes feel overwhelming.

Here is a list of some of our favorite locations in Greece and its smaller islands:

• Peloponnese – located on the southern tip of the mainland, this peninsula is known for its many famous beaches, archaeological sites, castles, and even ski centers. You can easily reach this region by boat from Athens. While in the region, make sure to anchor at Monemvasia, a medieval town regarded as being one of the most romantic locations in Greece.
• Crete – of all the Greek islands, Crete is the largest and is known for being less visited by boats compared to the Cyclades Islands or Sporades. While in Crete, you’ll have the chance to visit some of the most beautiful beaches in the country.
• Dodecanese Islands – among these islands, Rhodes is one of the most well-known; its old town is even UNESCO-protected. For more experienced sailors or those on a skippered charter, consider visiting Karpathos, one of the windiest islands in the Mediterranean. Kos is also a great place to sail to and boasts many beautiful examples of Venetian architecture.
• Ionian Islands – among the islands in this area, Zakynthos is the sparkling gem. While here, make sure to stop by the Blues Caves and Navagio Beach, both of which are only accessible by boat.

How much does it cost to rent a boat in Greece?

The price of a boat rental in Greece can change depending on certain different factors. Some of these can include the type, size, and model of the boat, the length of your rental, the number of people traveling, and whether or not you choose to add on additional amenities.

Renting a boat with a skipper

With Océans Evasion, it is possible to charter a vacation with or without a skipper. If you do choose to rent a boat without a skipper, make sure your papers are in line with the local boating laws. In Greece, you can generally charter a yacht without a skipper if the engine power is 30 horsepower or less, so the laws are fairly lax, especially in comparison to many other places.

With a bareboat hire in Greece, there are many different exploration opportunities available, from the plethora of island groups located nearby, to the mainland, with its impressive selection of ancient ruins. For something slightly more relaxing, you should instead opt for a crewed yacht hire in Greece, which will include a skipper, who will take you to all of the best areas that only locals know about!

What boat should I rent?

The boat you rent will depend on the types of activities you would like to do and the duration of your rental. Some boats are better for water sports, for example, while others are better for overnight charters. When choosing your boat, make sure to take into account how many people will be onboard, what activities you would like to do, what extra amenities you will need, etc.

When is the best time to go?

Greece is known for its warm Mediterranean climate even during the winter months. It is recommended to visit Greece from June to September as the weather is still great and you will manage to avoid the huge crowds that head to Greece during the warm months; especially in July and August.
