Key facts

Paros sits in the middle of the Cyclades: Mykonos one hour north at 20 knots, Naxos thirty minutes east, Sifnos and Milos two to three hours south-west, Ios and Santorini two to three hours south
Naoussa's old port and Parikia's bay are the anchorages; the motor yachts stern-to in Naoussa for the evening and anchor off Antiparos and Despotiko for the swim
Board in Athens and cruise out in a morning, or fly to Paros and board there with the delivery on its own line; the base fee is the same either way
Crewed motor yachts from about EUR 24,000 a week all in at 20 metres, EUR 50,000 at 27 metres with a chef, from about EUR 67,000 at 33 metres; one price per yacht, never by the head
The Meltemi blows from the north through July and August; Paros's west and south coasts and Antiparos's channel stay sheltered, which is why the captains like it as a base
Weekly, fully crewed, any day of the week; 46 motor yachts on the list, every one with her rate card on her own page

Cyclades, by motor yacht

Motor Yacht Charter Paros

Paros is the hub of the Cyclades: Naoussa for the evening, Antiparos for the swim, Mykonos an hour away, Milos a morning. On a motor yacht it is the week's best base.

Last updated September 2026

Why Paros is the motor yacht's island

Everything is an hour away. A motor yacht's week in the Cyclades is spent choosing between islands, and Paros makes the choosing easy: Mykonos for a night of it, Naxos for the long beaches, Antiparos for the cave and the channel, Sifnos for the food, Milos for Kleftiko. A sailing yacht crosses those distances in an afternoon against the Meltemi; a 27 metre motor yacht does it before lunch. Naoussa is the evening. The small harbour with the Venetian fort takes the motor yachts stern-to, the restaurants are on the quay, and the anchorage outside is sheltered from the north wind. Parikia's bay is the alternative when Naoussa is full in August. Board in Athens or on Paros. Most parties board in Alimos and let the yacht do the crossing while they have breakfast; a party flying into Paros boards there and the delivery leg is quoted on its own line, never hidden in the base. Either way the week is weekly, fully crewed, and starts on the day you choose. 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 party that wants Mykonos for one night and quiet islands for six
Families with teenagers who want the Antiparos channel and the Naxos beaches
Couples who want Naoussa's quay in the evening and Despotiko's bay at noon
Anyone who was told the Cyclades are too windy; Paros is where the captains shelter

When to book a Paros week for 2027

Paros in July and August is the Meltemi season and the yachts that handle it well are contracted first; June and September are calmer and 15 to 25 percent below peak on most cards. 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 the captain for Despotiko at noon and Naoussa at eight; the day in between is the Cyclades at their best.
A Mykonos berth in August can cost more than a night in a hotel; one night there and six at anchor is the way the money goes furthest.
The APA on a Paros loop is the high end of a motor yacht's 30 to 40 percent; tell the broker the islands you want and the estimate becomes honest.
Kolymbithres and the Antiparos channel are the swims; Lefkes is the village for the one afternoon ashore.
