Discounted yacht charters in Greece

As of 27 Oct 2026, a discounted week in Greece starts from €945 for the whole boat; half of the models are at least 35% off. Transit log, cleaning and the refundable deposit are paid at the base on top.

By the agent's latest checks (monohulls), the cheapest month is March: a median of ≈€237 per berth per week. The most expensive is December, at ≈€283. The most boats with 20% off or more are in October: 39%. The agent checks the current month and the next five; each month has its own page with the numbers.

Per berth per week in October: monohull median ≈€241, catamaran €383. A week on a catamaran usually costs more, but it has more cabins and berths, so the price per berth is the fairer comparison. Discounted right now — catamarans: 122, monohulls: 227.

Greece's season runs April to October. In July–August the meltemi blows 25–30 knots in the Cyclades and the Dodecanese, so beginners are better off in the Ionian or the Saronic Gulf in those months. June and September bring warm water, gentler wind and prices below the peak; April, May and October are the shoulder months and the cheapest weeks of the season.

Yes. Almost every boat in the selection can be taken with a hired skipper, and a cook or hostess can be added on request. The crew is paid by the day on top of the boat price, and their food on board is on you. Without a skipper's licence and a VHF certificate, a skipper is mandatory. The RYC manager books the crew together with the boat.

One-week routes in Greece, planned day by day: “Athens — Hydra”, 8 days, about 120 nautical miles; “Lefkas — Ithaca”, 8 days, about 95 nautical miles; “Corfu — Lefkas”, 7 days, about 155 nautical miles; “Kos — Rhodes”, 7 days, about 190 nautical miles; “Kos — Patmos”, 7 days, about 80 nautical miles. Each route page has the legs, miles and overnight stops.

In the Mediterranean (Turkey, Greece, Croatia), you can catch hot deals 2–⁠6 weeks ahead. For the Caribbean, the Seychelles and other exotic destinations, book early, 4–⁠8 months ahead: fleets there are smaller and last-minute discounts almost never come up.

Just the boat, for a week. Usually paid separately: transit log and final cleaning, fuel, marina fees, the security deposit (or deposit insurance), a skipper, cook and hostess if you need them, and extras (SUP board, on-board Wi-Fi, coffee machine, child safety netting).

For a bareboat charter (no skipper or crew provided), yes: a skipper's licence and, as a rule, a VHF radio certificate. Without a licence, we add a skipper, paid separately from the boat price.

99% of charter fleets worldwide work this way: the boat comes back on Friday evening and goes out to the next crew on Saturday morning. Other changeover days are possible in low season, by arrangement. In some destinations (the Caribbean, Cuba, France) you can add days beyond the week: +1, 2, 3 or 4 days.

The security deposit is your insurance excess in case of damage, usually €1,000–⁠8,000. It is taken at the base at check-⁠in on a credit card issued outside Russia: charter companies don't accept Russian cards or debit cards. With a hired skipper the deposit terms may be different, and not every charter company accepts a cash deposit or deposit insurance: check with the manager.
