How Much Is a 7 Day Yacht Charter in Greece?

The base fee buys the yacht, her crew and her insurance for seven nights. It attaches to the vessel, not to the cruising ground: the same yacht quotes the same card whether she sails the Saronic or the Cyclades. The APA is the running budget of the week, paid in advance and settled against receipts: fuel, food, drink, berths and port fees. It runs 20 to 30 percent of the base on a sailing yacht, 25 to 35 on a catamaran, 30 to 40 on a motor yacht, because the number tracks fuel burn. What is not spent comes back. The VAT applies at the yacht's own certified rate, 5.2, 6.5, 7.8 or 12 percent on the current cards, with 13 percent as the statutory ceiling; the rate belongs to the yacht and is written on the proposal next to her name. The gratuity is customary at 10 to 15 percent of the base, at your discretion. Put together, a crewed catamaran week is about 1.4 to 1.6 times its base all in, a motor yacht week 1.45 to 1.7; the smallest crewed week on the list is from about EUR 22,000 a week all in, with the APA and the VAT included and the crew gratuity at your discretion.
