If you don’t have a sailing license or would prefer to have an experienced skipper on board, we can offer crewed charters on a wide range of yachts. This will still allow you to explore all that Greece has to offer with the peace of mind that a professional skipper is onboard.
The type of yacht you choose to charter will be a big factor in your Greece holiday. Sailboats can range from traditional, wooden yachts to modern day designs with a starting price of 160 EUR per day. Catamarans are the most popular choice as they are comfortable, fast and offer a spacious interior. The larger luxury yachts such as a gulet can sleep between 8 and 20 people and are suitable for larger groups.
A bareboat charter requires one person onboard with a valid sailing license to operate the yacht. However, if you are not confident in your ability to navigate the yacht by yourself or simply prefer the extra services offered by a fully crewed yacht we can recommend our hand-picked skippered boats to ensure your cruise is a success. Our Sales Advisors are well informed and highly experienced in arranging a Greece yacht rental so you can trust us to help you get your dream trip planned.
