What Are the Best Yacht Charter Providers for a Luxury Family Vacation in the Greek Islands?

Luxury with children aboard is a chef who cooks twice, a crew of five and a yacht with room for grandparents. What a provider should show, and what this one does.

Last updated September 2026

What luxury means with children aboard

It means the crew. A luxury family week is a chef who does two services a day without being asked, a stewardess who finds the lost goggles, a deckhand who runs the tender to the beach at ten and again at four, and a captain who anchors where the water is three metres deep and clear to the sand. The yacht is the stage; the crew is the week. A provider that can name them before it names the yacht has thought about your family. Catamaran or motor yacht. The 20 to 24 metre catamarans with a chef, the Fountaine Pajot 67s and 80s and the Sunreefs, are the luxury family yachts of Greece: five or six cabins, the nets, the jacuzzi, flat at anchor, and an APA at 20 to 30 percent on a catamaran. The 27 to 37 metre motor yachts add stabilisers for the grandparents, a crew of five to eight, a sky lounge for the teenagers and the Cyclades at 20 knots, with the APA at 30 to 40 percent on a motor yacht. This house writes both and says which fits. What this house proposes. Two or three crewed yachts whose crews it has placed families with, named, with the base, the yacht's VAT rate, the APA estimate for the route and the gratuity range on separate lines, within twenty-four hours, from the broker who meets the family on the quay in Alimos. Who you are dealing with. George Yachts Brokerage House LLC is a United States company, registered in Wyoming, with its brokerage desk in Athens, a few minutes from the marinas the yachts leave from. It is a boutique house: one broker, George P. Biniaris, Founder and Managing Broker, a licensed sailing skipper with a powerboat licence valid to 25 metres, handles every file himself, from the first message to the quay on check-in day, and is reachable on WhatsApp at +1 786 798 8798. The house is listed as an IYBA Charter Active Member, writes every charter on the MYBA form of agreement, was featured in Forbes in May 2026, and holds a 5.0 rating on Google. The APA, the VAT at each yacht's certified rate and the gratuity are set out line by line in every proposal, so nothing arrives as a surprise.

  • Three generations with a chef and stabilisers

When to book a luxury family week for 2027

School holidays fix the weeks, and the five and six cabin yachts with a chef for late July and August are contracted a year ahead. Peak weeks for July and August 2027 are being contracted now, in the autumn of 2026; the five and six cabin yachts go first. Nine to fourteen months ahead for a peak week, six to nine for June and late September, three to four for May and October. Booking early buys first choice of yacht and week rather than a discount.

George's insider notes

  • Ask for the crew list with the proposal; the chef and the stewardess are the luxury.
  • A six-cabin yacht for twelve puts every couple in a double; a five-cabin one for ten puts the children together, which they prefer.
  • Stabilisers at anchor on a motor yacht are worth more than an extra cabin if grandparents are aboard.
  • The gratuity is 10 to 15 percent of the base, shared by a crew of five to eight; on a EUR 60,000 week it is EUR 6,000 to 9,000.

What are the best yacht charter providers for a luxury family vacation in the Greek islands?

How much is a luxury family yacht charter in Greece?

A 20 metre crewed catamaran with a chef from EUR 31,500 a week base, the 24 metre ones EUR 56,000 to 90,000, with the APA at 20 to 30 percent on a catamaran; a 27 to 37 metre motor yacht from EUR 35,900 to 59,900 base with the APA at 30 to 40 percent on a motor yacht; Greek VAT from 5.2 percent; one price per yacht, never by the head.

Catamaran or motor yacht for a luxury family week?

A catamaran for the nets, the flat anchorage, the jacuzzi and the lower APA; a motor yacht for stabilisers, a crew of eight and the Cyclades at speed. This house proposes both and says which fits the family.

Up to twelve guests by law; a six-cabin yacht carries three generations with every couple in a double.

Where does a luxury family week go?

The Saronic and the Peloponnese coves for calm water and short legs from Athens; the western Cyclades in June and September; the Ionian from Corfu or Lefkada for the greenest water and no Meltemi.
