How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Sailboat for a Week?

Bareboat or crewed. A bareboat is a yacht you sail yourself; in Greece it requires a recognised skipper's certificate and a second competent crew member on the crew list, the price is the yacht alone, and it is not something this house brokers. A fully crewed yacht carries a captain, a cook-hostess or a chef and a deckhand, and the week is a holiday rather than a passage: the entry is EUR 17,000 base for a 15 metre catamaran for eight, about EUR 22,000 all in. The crewed sailboat in Greece is mostly a catamaran. 45 of the crewed yachts on this list are catamarans, from the 15 metre Lagoons to the 24 metre Sunreefs with a chef; six are classic sailing monohulls of 24 to 31 metres, an Admiral, a Perini Navi and a Comar among them, for a party that wants the heel and the wake. Both sail best in the Ionian, where the breeze arrives at two, and in the Cyclades in June and September. What this house writes.
