Motor yacht in Mykonos

Motor Yacht Charter Mykonos

The Mykonos charter that survives August. Air-conditioned, stabilised, fast enough for Delos by dawn and Antiparos by dinner.

Last updated September 2026

Why motor yachts dominate Mykonos charters

Mykonos is a motor-yacht destination first. The combination of the Meltemi (a northerly of 15 to 25 knots on summer afternoons, more on a strong day), the inter-island passages (Mykonos to Santorini is 80 nautical miles on the house table), and the comfort expectations of the typical Mykonos charterer all point at the same yacht type. A 30-metre motor yacht in Mykonos in August does what no sailing yacht can: anchors stabilised off Ornos at noon, runs the 30 nm to Naoussa on Paros for dinner, and comes back to a Mykonos lee without rolling the master cabin guests out of their beds. The pace matches the energy of the destination. The motor yachts this house represents base in Athens. For a Mykonos start the yacht is positioned across the 90 nautical miles from Alimos ahead of your boarding, a fee quoted per yacht by the owner, and the week begins at Ornos or the New Port with dinner ashore rather than a day at sea. The alternative is to board in Athens and make Mykonos the first night: at 20 knots the passage is a morning.

Best suited for

  • Mykonos-based weeks with multiple Cycladic destinations
  • Charters that include Delos archaeological site day-trip
  • August charters when Meltemi makes sailing yachts uncomfortable
  • Repeat Mykonos visitors stepping up from hotel weeks
  • UHNW principals arriving via Mykonos airport direct flights

When to book

Mykonos motor yacht weeks book 6 to 12 months ahead for July and August, the Greek Charter Index 2026 lead time. June and September are the most-bookable shoulder weeks with rates 15 to 25% below peak on the Index, the Meltemi has softened, the chora is quieter, the beach clubs still operational. May and October are possible but the season is winding down; some boats reposition out by mid-October.

George's insider notes

  • Anchor at Ornos rather than the New Port - quieter, cleaner water, tender to the chora.
  • Two tenders on the boat matters more in Mykonos than anywhere else. One for guest transfers, one for the chef's market runs. The count is on each yacht's rate card.
  • Delos is a morning: anchor at dawn, walk the site from opening, back to Ornos for lunch. The captain checks the season's opening hours the day before.
  • Mykonos marina berths in peak season are among the most expensive in Greece and are paid from the APA. Anchor at Ornos instead unless boarding or disembarking.
  • Naoussa on Paros for dinner is the yacht-set route: 30 nautical miles, a harbour of tavernas on the water, back to a Mykonos lee for the night.
