Day Charter

Not through us. George Yachts brokers weekly fully crewed charters, and day hire is a different business with different operators, so we would be the wrong introduction. If a single day is genuinely what you want, book directly with a day-hire operator out of Alimos, Flisvos or the Athens Riviera marinas. One thing worth knowing before you do: charters of 48 hours or less carry Greek VAT at the standard 24%, while a weekly crewed charter is taxed at its yacht's reduced certified rate, so the per-day cost gap is wider than the headline prices suggest.

This page covers single-day hire. For weekly figures, our motor yacht charter Greece prices are published on the weekly rate card at /weekly-yacht-charter-rates-greece, listed by yacht size and season from the live rate cards of the yachts here, with the APA, VAT and gratuity layers broken out so the all-in number is visible before you inquire.

A day yacht is simply a yacht set up for single-day hire: crewed, provisioned for a day's running, and back at base by evening. In Greece that fleet runs from small motor boats to 40m superyachts. We do not place day yachts. The reason is not snobbery, it is that the two products are not comparable: if you book a day yacht more than twice in the same trip you have already spent more than a short crewed charter would have cost, and you have had none of the week.

No. A day charter explicitly excludes overnight accommodation. If you want to sleep aboard, you book a crewed charter; the shortest this house writes is the five-night Saronic week from Athens.

Day charter: same-day embarkation and disembarkation. Term charter: nights aboard, typically seven, with bespoke service and itinerary; the five-night Saronic week is the shortest programme this house writes.

No. A day-hire operator prices the crew time, the fuel and the week he cannot sell into the single day, so a day is a far larger share of a weekly rate than one seventh. The weekly rate on the Greek Charter Index 2026 is one price per yacht with the crew included.

Honestly, usually not. If you have five to seven days in Greece, two or three day charters cost more than the five-night Saronic week where you sleep aboard, wake in a different bay, and the chef cooks to your taste. Tell us your dates and party size and we will price the week, with no obligation. The 2027 weekly calendars are already open for those planning ahead.

Some superyachts accept day charters, with very high minimums set by the owner and only outside the peak. In July and August the yachts above 35 metres are on weekly contracts; on the Greek Charter Index 2026 that class lists at EUR 59,900 to 150,000 a week and above 50 metres at 162,500 to 235,000.
