Charter sailing yacht Greece prices 2025

We offer our guests the advantage to pay a flat rate prior to setting sail, and that’s it!

After surfing the web and looking at different options for your sailing vacation, you might have noticed most of the other charter companies structure their yacht rental similarly to renting a car. Their charter rate covers the price of hiring the yacht itself (just like the car rental price covers the car itself). Excluding all other aspects/costs involved for example; fuel, toll rates, parking fees, these are costs that you are expected to cover as you go.

With similar structure, when you are budgeting for your sailing holiday, with most charter companies you will have to add on top of the charter rate, the other expenses involved as they appear. The trouble with this approach, is that for a yacht the total/ final price including the extras is considerably higher than the base rate. This makes it difficult for the charterer to figure out the total price he will end up paying (an aspect that will naturally make him worried or anxious).

For example, the rate applied for skipper services is pretty much standard for all companies (200 - 260 euro/day),however, all the other costs will vary according to many factors. For example; fuel consumption depends how long the engine will be running - more specifically on the wind conditions and distances to your favorite destinations. You might be wondering - "But won't we be sailing most of the time-why are we discussing fuel?' Please read below the paragraph marked with **

So we are taking a different approach. In order to avoid the hassle of having an expense account open , we have grouped everything in the : "All costs included" combo of 350 euro/day Our bundle includes ALL expenses associated with chartering the sailing yacht (fuel, skipper, final cleaning, etc) that will guarantee you a worry free vacation. You won't have to keep an expense account. You simply pay a one-time flat rate (350 Euro/day/boat - divided between the members of your group) prior to setting sail, and that’s it! Much easier to plan and budget for! No hidden costs, no surprises at the end of the trip.

** How much will we be sailing / motoring?Well...it all depends on the wind conditions and the distance to the next destination. So let's take for example a sail from Mykonos to the port of Paroikia in Paros; a distance of 28 nautical miles (a good average).

• With favorable winds, a sailboat is perfectly capable of reaching this destination under sail. Assuming good wind conditions (10-12 knots or more) a sailboat would be travelling at a regular speed around 7 nautical miles/hour. Hence, we would be covering the 28 nautical miles in circa 4 hours.
• However, if the winds are very mild or you have head winds, the speed of the boat will drop significantly to as low as 2-3 nautical miles/hour. As a result, if you try to save on fuel, you would be covering the same distance in 9-10 hours (no time left for swimming or exploring the island you are headed to). This is when the engine becomes your best friend! It will help you to travel at speeds of 7 knots again. Allowing you to reach your destination at a reasonable time. This is an important aspect for many of our guests. Realising that a regular day on board is divided into several parts, for example; 3-5 hours sail time to your destination, 1-3 hours stop for a swim, the late afternoon/evening for exploring the islands you reach, on-shore activities, exploring the villages and dinner).
• With a 4 hours travel there's time to mix all these in a single day.

Depending on the situation, a one-way fee applies in order to cover the cost of the boat travelling from the base/regular embarkation point to the pick up point of your choice (fuel + rate for the day/s when the boat cannot be chartered as it will be traveling to the island of your preferred embarkation).

Thus the one way fee depends on the distance to the destination chosen and can vary from 800 euro to 1450 euro.
