All-Inclusive Charters

All-Inclusive Yacht Charter Greece

One price covers the yacht, the crew, the food, the fuel, the drinks. Decided on at booking.

Last updated September 2026

Why all-inclusive

Standard yacht charters in Greek waters use the MYBA contract: base rate covers the yacht and crew, APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is paid up front and covers fuel, food, drinks, and dockage on a running-cost basis. The MYBA contract fixes how the APA works, not what it costs: the amount is agreed between the parties for each charter, and in practice runs from about 20% of base on a sailing yacht to about 40% on a motor yacht, higher again on a heavy-itinerary week. The remainder is refunded; sometimes APA runs short and the charterer tops it up. All-inclusive contracts work differently. A single fixed price covers everything (yacht, crew, food, fuel, drinks, dockage, gratuity in some versions). The price is decided at booking and does not move regardless of how the week runs. The yacht owner takes the risk on fuel and provisioning rather than the charterer. All-inclusive contracts exist in two flavours in Greek waters. Fully-inclusive weeks where literally everything is bundled including end-of-week gratuity. Mostly-inclusive where the price includes APA but tip is still paid separately at the end. The latter is more common; ask which you're booking. We recommend all-inclusive for first-time charterers who want predictable budgeting, corporate charters where the accounting demands a single line item, and group charters where splitting variable APA among guests creates friction. We recommend standard MYBA APA contracts for repeat clients comfortable with the format, who often find APA charters give them more service flexibility.

Best suited for

  • First-time charterers wanting predictable total cost
  • Corporate off-sites with single-line-item accounting requirements
  • Group charters where APA splitting across guests is awkward
  • Charterers nervous about APA budget overruns on heavy itineraries
  • International clients who prefer not to manage multiple cash flows

The whole week, in one number

What a crewed week costs all-in, by Index band

Net base from the Greek Charter Index 2026, then the same week all-in: APA of 25% on catamarans and 30% on motor yachts, VAT at 12% and a 12% gratuity on the base, rounded to the hundred. A yacht certified at 5.2% or 6.5% lands lower. One price per yacht per week, for the whole party.

Arithmetic on the Greek Charter Index 2026 bands, not quotes. The proposal for a named yacht carries her own rate card, certified VAT rate and APA.

Line by line

What an all-inclusive yacht charter in Greece includes

The yacht and her crew for the week, captain, chef and stewardess on the crewed catamarans, four to ten crew on the motor yachts, exactly as the rate card states. Fuel for the agreed itinerary: the route is written into the contract, the Saronic week from Alimos or the Cyclades loop from Mykonos to Santorini, and the fuel for it is inside the price. Food: three meals a day cooked aboard from the preference sheet, full board unless the contract says half board for the evenings you want a taverna. Drinks: the list agreed at booking, water, soft drinks, beer, Greek wine and a house spirits selection; premium labels are named and priced separately. Berths and port fees on the agreed route, and the tender, the paddleboards and the water toys the card lists. Greek VAT at the yacht's certified rate, 5.2 to 12%, shown as its own line on the contract so the price is the price. All of it is one figure per yacht per week, fixed at booking under the MYBA form, and it does not move with how the week runs.

The limits, stated

What all-inclusive does not include, and why

Gratuity stays outside on most packages: 10 to 15% of the base, at your discretion, handed to the captain at the end. Ask which version you are booking; the contract says. A different route: the price is tied to the itinerary in the contract because fuel is the largest variable. Adding Santorini to a Saronic week, 130 nautical miles from Athens, is re-quoted, not absorbed. Positioning: a yacht that must move to meet you, Mykonos or Corfu instead of its Athens base, carries a positioning fee quoted per yacht by the owner. Premium provisioning: the menu is customised to preferences and allergies, but caviar, vintage champagne and a private chef ashore are priced on top, itemised before you sign. Shore: restaurants, guides, cars and helicopters ashore are yours to book or ours to arrange, and always separate. Fewer yachts: an owner who fixes fuel and food is taking your risk, so not every card on the Index is offered this way; the shortlist is shorter and this house says so before you fall for a yacht that only charters plus expenses.

When all-inclusive is the right choice

All-inclusive contracts are available across the season but vary in availability. Peak weeks (mid-July to mid-August) see fewer all-inclusive options because most owners prefer the variable APA structure during high-cost weeks. Shoulder weeks offer more all-inclusive flexibility. Multi-week charters often qualify for all-inclusive at a premium worth paying for the predictability.

Notes from George

  • All-inclusive premiums vary by owner. Some quote the week all-in at a premium over their MYBA rate card; others charge no premium and simply price the APA conservatively. The premium is on the rate card, not a rule, so ask for both prices before deciding.
  • All-inclusive doesn't always include premium spirits. Standard wine and house spirits, yes; specific high-end Champagnes or single-malt scotches, no, those are typically extra.
  • Gratuity is usually NOT in all-inclusive packages, even when called 'fully-inclusive'. Tip in cash at the end, 10 to 15% of the base rate.
  • Greek VAT is also typically NOT in all-inclusive packages. Check the contract; VAT at the yacht's certified rate (5.2-12% in practice) is added on top.
  • All-inclusive packages are cleaner for accounting but slightly less flexible on service. APA contracts give more room to make in-charter requests; all-inclusive locks the menu and provisioning before boarding.

Frequently asked

Questions we get about All-Inclusive Yacht Charter Greece

What is an all-inclusive yacht charter in Greece?

One fixed price, agreed at booking, covering the yacht, her crew, the food, the fuel, the drinks and the dockage for the whole week, and it does not move afterwards however the week runs. It is the alternative to the standard MYBA structure, where a base fee buys the yacht and crew and a separate Advance Provisioning Allowance is paid up front and then spent against the running costs. On an all-inclusive week the owner carries the fuel and provisioning risk instead of the charterer. Two things sit outside the price in almost every case: Greek charter VAT at the yacht's certified rate, 5.2 to 12 percent in practice, and the customary crew gratuity of 10 to 15 percent of the base rate.

What does an all-inclusive yacht charter in Greece cost?

It is quoted off the same weekly rate card as any other charter, with the running costs folded in rather than billed separately afterwards. Across the ninety-six fully crewed yachts we represent the net base runs from EUR 17,000 a week for a 15 metre sailing catamaran to EUR 150,000 for a 39 metre motor yacht, per yacht, per week. Owners who offer the all-inclusive option either price it at a premium over that base or price the provisioning conservatively and bundle it, so ask for the standard number and the all-inclusive number on the same yacht before choosing. Greek VAT is added on top in almost every case.

What's typically included in an 'all-inclusive' yacht charter?

The yacht, the crew, fuel, food, standard wine and spirits, dockage, mooring fees, and ordinary running costs. Typically NOT included: premium spirits and Champagne, special-order wines, crew gratuity, Greek charter VAT, scuba diving courses with external instructors, and any helicopter or off-yacht transport.

Is all-inclusive cheaper or more expensive than APA?

On most weeks, all-inclusive is 5 to 12% more expensive than the equivalent APA charter would settle at, but predictable. If your itinerary runs lighter than budgeted, APA returns the unused balance; all-inclusive does not. Charterers comfortable with budget variance often save on APA. First-time charterers usually prefer all-inclusive predictability.

Can we customise the menu on an all-inclusive charter?

Yes, within the pre-set provisioning. The chef will accommodate dietary preferences and create the planned menu around your taste. Specific ingredients beyond the provisioning (special-order wines, premium proteins, unusual ingredients) may add cost. Brief us 4 weeks before.

How does drinks budget work in all-inclusive?

Standard table wines, beers, ordinary spirits, soft drinks: included. Premium wines (above €40/bottle retail), Champagne, vintage spirits, fine whiskeys: often excluded or added at cost. Specific wine or Champagne requests should be discussed with the broker at booking.

Is the gratuity included?

Usually not, even on packages called 'fully-inclusive'. Crew gratuity convention is 10 to 15% of the base rate, paid in cash at the end of the charter. Always ask explicitly whether gratuity is included; the answer is almost always no.

Do you work with American guests, and who do we contract with?

Yes. Most of our guests are American, and every charter this house closed this season was booked by American guests. You contract with George Yachts Brokerage House LLC, a Wyoming company, under MYBA-standard terms, and you reach George on a Miami line, +1 786 798 8798, or in Athens on +30 697 038 0999. Athens is a direct flight from New York, and boarding is on the day you land or the next morning, on any day of the week.

How much is an all inclusive yacht charter in Greece per week?

All-inclusive yacht charter Greece, per yacht per week, from the Index 2026 with APA and VAT folded in: a 16 to 19 metre crewed sailing catamaran EUR 24,900 to 71,500; a 20 to 22 metre catamaran EUR 46,900 to 64,800; a 26 to 31 metre motor yacht EUR 55,300 to 115,500. Those figures assume VAT at 12 per cent; a yacht certified at 5.2 or 6.5 per cent lands lower. Gratuity of 10 to 15 per cent of base stays outside the price.

Are all-inclusive yacht charters in Greece really all inclusive?

Mostly, and the contract says exactly how much. The fixed price covers the yacht and crew, fuel for the agreed route, three meals a day from the preference sheet, the agreed drinks list, berths and port fees, water toys on the card and Greek VAT at the yacht's certified rate. What usually sits outside is the crew gratuity, premium labels, shore excursions and a change of route. Ask for the inclusions list in writing before you compare an all-inclusive quote with a charter-plus-expenses one.
