Yachting & Charters

Crewed yachts across the Aegean and Ionian — what is included, what to expect.

Can you charter a private yacht for the Aegean?

Yes — motor and sailing yachts from twenty metres to over eighty, across the Aegean, the Ionian, and the Saronic. Your advisor arranges the charter through the yacht specialists the house keeps closest — a considered circle whose fleets, captains, and crews we know by name. Greek-flagged yachts may begin and end charters in Greece; non-Greek flags carry EU constraints we resolve in the planning.

Crews, chefs, and tenders are matched to your preferences before boarding; the house arranges the shore side — tables, transfers, villas — around the route.

Day charters, sunset charters, and overnights at anchor are arranged on the same terms, typically from Mykonos, Santorini, Paros, Naxos, Athens, and the larger Ionian ports. For routes through Türkiye or beyond Greek waters, tell us where you would like to go and we will tell you what is possible.

What does a fully crewed charter include?

The yacht, the captain and crew, fuel for an agreed cruising plan, on-board equipment (tenders, water sports, dive gear), and standard insurance. Provisions, wines, port fees, and crew gratuities are billed separately under the standard Greek charter contract (APA) — typically thirty to thirty-five percent of the charter price.

The APA is confirmed before the charter and reconciled after disembarkation; any unspent balance is returned. Your preferences for food, wine, water sports, and pace are briefed to the chef and captain in advance.

Spa, helicopter transfers, on-shore dining, and bespoke excursions are quoted separately in writing.

How long is a typical Greek yacht charter?

Seven nights is the standard week, though charters run from three nights to voyages of two or three weeks. A week suits one island cluster well — the Cyclades, the Sporades, the Saronic, the Ionian, or the Dodecanese; routes across two clusters benefit from ten nights or more.

For a first charter, your advisor often proposes a five- to seven-night Saronic-and-Cycladic combination.
