How Much Does It Cost to Charter a Yacht in Athens?

Athens is where the crewed fleet lives, at Alimos and Flisvos, which makes it the cheapest place in Greece to board and the one with the most choice.

Last updated September 2026

Why Athens is the cheapest place to board

The yachts live here. Alimos is the largest charter marina in Greece and Flisvos is where the larger motor yachts berth; between them they hold nearly the whole crewed fleet of Greece. A week that boards in Athens starts on the yacht's own pontoon with no delivery leg, which on a boarding in Mykonos or Santorini can be a day's running and a line on the proposal. From the airport it is twenty minutes. The Saronic is at the door. Aegina is an hour away, Poros two, Hydra three, Spetses four at catamaran speed and two by motor yacht; the Peloponnese coast across the strait is empty coves and fish tavernas. A week in the Saronic spends the low end of the APA because the legs are short and the anchorages are free, and it has no Meltemi. It is the right first week and the right short week. The Cyclades are a morning away. Kea and Kythnos are the first night out; from there the western Cyclades or the Mykonos loop. A motor yacht reaches Mykonos in four hours. This house writes both weeks with the all-in figure for the route you choose and meets you on the pontoon at 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.

Best suited for

  • A first charter in the Saronic, three hours from the airport to the first swim
  • Families with young children who want calm water and short legs
  • Americans landing in Athens who want to board the same afternoon
  • A party that wants the Cyclades without paying a delivery to get there

When the Athens weeks go for 2027

The Saronic runs from May to October; the entry catamarans and the 20 to 25 metre motor yachts are the most requested yachts on the list and their July and August weeks go first. 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

  • Board at Alimos in the afternoon and sleep at Aegina; the first swim is before dinner.
  • A Saronic week spends the low end of the APA; a Cyclades week from Athens the high end; the same yacht, a different number, and the broker should show both.
  • Flisvos is the marina for the motor yachts over 30 metres and the quieter boarding.
  • The five-night Saronic week exists for parties with a Sunday flight; it is priced pro rata on the same yacht.
