Frequently asked

About this charter type

Is speed worth the fuel cost?

For short-format charters (3-5 nights) covering multiple regions, yes. For 7-night relaxed itineraries within one archipelago, no - displacement hulls do the same job at half the fuel cost.

Fastest passage time Athens to Mykonos?

Performance yachts: ~3 hours at 25-30 knots. Standard displacement: 5-6 hours. The 2-3 hour saving is meaningful on short charters.

Is the ride comfortable at top speed?

At 25+ knots in chop, planing-hull yachts pound more than displacement. Most owners cruise these yachts at 18-22 knots for comfort; top speed reserved for showcase moments.
