Frequently asked
About this charter type
Is August 2026 really sold out?
Mid-tier 30-40m: ~22% available as of mid-May. 50m+ superyachts: ~6% available. 70m+ megayachts: effectively closed for Greek embark. For 2027 peak, contact George by October 2026.
Should I wait until 2027 vs forcing 2026?
If yacht spec is non-negotiable (specific yacht or specific size), 2027 is the cleaner path. If flexible on yacht spec or willing to consider shoulder season alternatives, 2026 is still bookable in mid-tier.
What about September instead?
Late September Cyclades and October Saronic still have ~25% top-tier availability. Same warm water, no Meltemi, 18-32% lower rates than August peak. Excellent alternative.
