Catamaran in Mykonos

Catamaran Charter Mykonos

The Mykonos charter for families and friend groups. All the floor space, none of the Meltemi-roll.

Why catamarans work for Mykonos

Mykonos in August is hot, busy, and exposed to Meltemi. A catamaran solves all three. Wide deck for the heat (more shaded living area than equivalent monohulls). Zero heel and minimal anchor-side roll in the strong Meltemi. Shallow draft that opens anchorages monohulls and motor yachts can't reach (Super Paradise back beach, the inside of Rhenia). For family groups of 6-10, a 60-80 foot catamaran in Mykonos hits the sweet spot: enough cabin count, the children stay safe on the flat decks, and the budget runs 25-40% below an equivalent-capacity motor yacht. The Mykonos catamaran fleet is split between sailing catamarans (Lagoon, Fountaine Pajot, Bali — slower, lower fuel cost, more authentic sailing feel) and power catamarans (Aquila, Sunreef Power — 18-22 knot cruise, motor-yacht-pace itineraries). Either works for Mykonos; the choice depends on whether your guests want sailing rhythm or fast inter-island transits.

Best suited for

  • Multi-family Mykonos weeks (2-3 families on one boat)
  • Friend groups of 6-10 wanting deck space
  • Children-aboard charters needing flat platforms
  • Charterers stepping up from a bareboat catamaran week
  • Mykonos honeymoons with a budget-conscious framing

When to book

Catamarans book 6-9 months ahead for peak August. June, July, September are the catamaran sweet spots — warm water, manageable Meltemi (or in catamaran-tolerant range), full beach-club operation. May and October suit pre/post-season weeks at 30-40% off peak.

George's insider notes

  • Catamaran beam means specific anchorages: Super Paradise back beach is catamaran-friendly, Ornos is fine for all yacht types.
  • Rhenia island (between Mykonos and Delos) has a sheltered cove that catamarans can enter and monohulls cannot. Quiet swim-day option.
  • Mykonos marina has limited catamaran berths (wide-beam slots are scarce). Plan around anchorage rather than marina dockage.
  • Friday night dinner: the yacht-set move is Naoussa on Paros via catamaran motor (90 min). Catamaran is comfortable on the return leg even in Meltemi.
  • Sunreef Power catamarans (the largest in the fleet) command the premium rate but compete with motor yachts for comfort. Worth considering if budget allows.

Frequently asked

About catamaran charter mykonos

How much does a catamaran charter from Mykonos cost?

Weekly rates start €30K for a 50-foot crewed catamaran and run to €130K+ for an 80-foot power catamaran. Most Mykonos catamaran charters settle €45-€85K base before APA and VAT.

Sailing or power catamaran for Mykonos?

Sailing catamarans give the rhythm and lower fuel cost; perfect for charters with sailing curiosity. Power catamarans give motor-yacht-pace itineraries without the motor-yacht roll. For pure-Cyclades weeks staying near Mykonos, sailing works. For crossing to Santorini and beyond, power saves time.

Are catamarans good for families with kids in Mykonos?

Best yacht format for families in Mykonos specifically. The Meltemi-tolerant stability, flat decks, and shallow-draft anchorage access all favour children. We place 70% of our family Mykonos charters on catamarans.

Can a catamaran fit in Mykonos marina?

Limited slots. Most catamaran charters anchor at Ornos or Super Paradise; marina dockage typically only for boarding/disembarkation. Brief us at booking on marina nights needed.
