What Are the Top Sites to Charter a Superyacht in Greece?

A superyacht week is a six-figure contract with a private owner. The site that matters is the one with a person behind it who can call that owner.

Last updated September 2026

Why a superyacht charter needs a house, not a site

The number is the reason. A superyacht week in Greece is EUR 82,000 to 357,000 all in once the APA and the VAT are worked, paid fifty percent on signing and the balance before boarding, under a MYBA agreement with a private owner you will never meet. The site you book through matters only for what stands behind it: a legal entity you can hold to the contract, a professional body you can look up, and a broker who has spoken to the owner and the captain and can tell you, before the deposit, which yacht's crew of twelve is the right crew for your party. What the broker knows that the site does not. Which 40 metre yacht's fifth cabin is a real double; which captain runs a quiet ship; which owner will hold August for a serious party; what a Mykonos berth costs in the first week of August and where the APA estimate should sit for your route. That is the service, and it costs the charterer nothing above the rate card, because the owner's side pays the broker under the MYBA form. What this house proposes. Two or three superyachts confirmed with their owners for your week, the crew lists, the base, the VAT rate, the APA estimate for the route and the gratuity range on separate lines, in euros and in dollars, within twenty-four hours, from the broker who meets you at Flisvos. 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.

When the superyachts go for 2027

The five and six cabin superyachts are contracted a year ahead for late July and August; September is the connoisseur's month on them and open longer. 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 who stands behind the site: a legal entity, a professional body listing and a broker's name, before you ask for a quote.
  • Ask for the crew list with the proposal; on a superyacht the chef, the chief stewardess and the captain are the week.
  • A superyacht's APA at 30 to 40 percent on a motor yacht is EUR 30,000 to 40,000 on a EUR 100,000 week; the estimate should be for your islands.
  • The gratuity at this size is 10 to 15 percent of the base, shared by a crew of eight to fourteen.

Frequently asked

Questions we get about What Are the Top Sites to Charter a Superyacht in Greece?

What are the top sites to charter a superyacht in Greece?

The ones with a brokerage house behind them that passes four checks: a professional body listing, the MYBA Charter Agreement, a verifiable legal entity and an itemised proposal. George Yachts Brokerage House passes all four and represents fifteen crewed superyachts of 35 metres and above.

How much is a superyacht charter in Greece?

EUR 59,900 to 150,000 a week base at 35 to 40 metres, EUR 83,300 to 140,000 at 45 to 48 metres and EUR 162,500 to 235,000 above 50 metres on the current rate cards, about EUR 82,000 to 357,000 all in with the APA at 30 to 40 percent on a motor yacht and VAT from 5.2 percent.

Is it cheaper to book a superyacht on a site than through a broker?

No; the owner's rate card is the same everywhere and the broker is paid by the owner's side under the MYBA form. The house adds the owner's confirmation, the crew list, the contract and the person on the quay.

How is a superyacht charter paid?

Under the MYBA form: fifty percent on signing, the balance with the VAT and the APA before boarding, forty-five days ahead on this house's proposals; in euros, by bank transfer.

How many guests can a superyacht carry on charter in Greece?

Twelve by law on most yachts; the 64 metre on this list is certified for more and is the exception.

How do I start?

WhatsApp +1 786 798 8798 or george@georgeyachts.com with the week and the party; two or three superyachts confirmed with their owners, their crew lists and the all-in week come back within twenty-four hours.
