How Much Does a Catamaran Vacation Cost?

A crewed catamaran week in Greece, worked from the yacht to the last dinner: the base, the running account, the tax, the crew's thank-you, and nothing by the head.

Last updated September 2026

Why a catamaran vacation is priced the way it is

Per yacht, never by the head. A crewed catamaran is a floating house with a crew, and it is priced like one: one base fee for the week whoever boards, up to the yacht's berths and the legal twelve. A party of eight on the entry catamaran shares EUR 17,000; a party of four on the same yacht pays the same and has the cabins to spare. Any quote by the head is a cabin on a cruise. Three lines, then your choices. The base is the yacht and the crew. The APA is the running account, 20 to 30 percent of the base on a catamaran, paid before boarding and spent by the captain on fuel, food, drink, berths and port fees at cost, with receipts and a balance returned; a Saronic week spends the low end and a Mykonos week the high. The VAT is the yacht's certified rate, 5.2 to 12 percent. After those three, the only money is the dinners ashore you choose to have and the gratuity you choose to give. Where the price climbs, and what for. From the 15 metre four-cabin catamaran with a captain and a cook-hostess, to the 16 to 19 metre five-cabin ones, to the 20 metre Fountaine Pajots and Lagoons with a chef, a jacuzzi and a crew of three, to the 24 metre Sunreefs and Fountaine Pajot 80s with four to six cabins and a crew of four or five. This house writes two or three of them against your party and your month, with every line, within twenty-four hours. 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.

Best suited for

  • First-time charterers who want the whole number before the brochure
  • Three or four couples sharing one price
  • Families who want to know what the children's meals cost (nothing beyond the APA)
  • Anyone comparing a catamaran week against a villa and a boat

When the catamarans go for 2027

The catamarans are the most requested yachts in Greece; the five-cabin ones with a chef go a year ahead for late July and August. 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 yacht's certified VAT rate with the base; between 5.2 and 12 percent on EUR 17,000 lies EUR 1,150.
  • The APA comes back if unspent; a party that eats ashore every night gets a refund at the end.
  • Four cabins for eight is the entry layout; a fifth cabin on a 16 metre catamaran is usually a French double sharing a bathroom.
  • The gratuity is on the base alone, never on the APA or the VAT.

Frequently asked

Questions we get about How Much Does a Catamaran Vacation Cost?

How much does a catamaran vacation cost?

From about EUR 22,000 for the week all in on a 15 metre crewed catamaran for eight in Greece, EUR 17,000 base with the APA at 20 to 25 percent on a sailing catamaran and VAT from 5.2 percent; about EUR 40,000 to 45,000 with a chef at 20 metres; per yacht, never by the head.

What is included in a crewed catamaran vacation?

The yacht, her crew and insurance for seven nights in the base; every litre of fuel, every meal and drink aboard, every berth and port fee at cost through the APA; the Greek VAT. The gratuity and dinners ashore are yours.

Does the week cost less with fewer guests?

No; the price is per yacht, so eight guests share what four would pay alone, and the all-in week does not change with the number aboard, up to the yacht's berths and the legal twelve.

What is not included in the all-in week?

Dinners ashore when you choose them, the crew gratuity at your discretion, and your flights to Athens; everything aboard, from the fuel to the last coffee, runs through the base and the APA.

Does the APA come back?

Yes; it is settled against receipts at the end of the week and the unspent balance is returned.

How do I get the all-in figure for a specific catamaran?

WhatsApp +1 786 798 8798 or george@georgeyachts.com with the month and the party; two or three real catamarans with every line of the week come back within twenty-four hours.
