Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about a skippered yacht charter in Greece with Explore Yachting. Can’t find your answer? Ask us directly.

Do I need sailing experience?

No. Every charter comes with a professional skipper who handles navigation, mooring and safety. You can join in and learn as much as you like, or simply relax, swim and enjoy the islands.

Where can we sail?

We organise charters in five areas of Greece: the Saronic Islands (from Athens), the Cyclades (from Athens, Mykonos or Paros), the North Ionian (from Corfu, Preveza or Lefkada), the South Ionian (from Preveza or Lefkada) and the Dodecanese (from Rhodes). Not sure which fits you? Tell us about your group and we will advise.

How long is a charter, and when do we check in?

Our standard charters run for 7 days, with check-in on Saturday at 17:00. Longer trips are possible, just ask.

What is included in the price?

Your skipper, 7 days on board, local tips from us, and all bed linen and towels. On request we can add extra crew such as a hostess or chef, airport transfers and land tours.

Catamaran or monohull?

Both are available in standard, premium and luxury classes. Catamarans offer more space and stability, which families and bigger groups love. Monohulls give a more classic sailing feel. See our yachts or tell us about your group and we will recommend the right boat.

Is a sailing holiday suitable for families with children?

Yes, many of our guests are families. Your skipper plans short, comfortable sailing days with plenty of time to swim and explore, and adjusts the route to the weather.

What happens if the weather changes?

Your skipper checks the forecast every day and adapts the route, so you stay safe and comfortable and still get to beautiful bays and harbours.

How many people can come?

Most of our yachts take up to 8 guests. For bigger groups we can arrange two or more boats sailing together.

How do we book?

Send us an enquiry with your dates, group size and wishes, or message us on WhatsApp. Daan or Victoria will personally come back to you with a proposal.
