Example Yacht Charters in Greece: Routes & Prices

Every week we plan is different, because every group is different. Here are four typical skippered yacht charters in Greece, with the route, the yacht and a realistic price, to give you an idea of what a week with us looks like. Tell us about your group and we will shape your own week around it.

About the prices: prices are per week for the whole yacht, not per person, for weeks in June and September. May and October are usually lower, July and August higher. Charters run Saturday to Saturday, with check-in at 17:00.

What else should you budget for?

A dinghy with outboard and snorkel gear are always included. Everything is explained in How much does a skippered yacht charter in Greece cost?
