Who should I book a weekly crewed charter in Greece through?

Ask the broker two things. Do they own or manage the yachts they are showing you, and have they done the job at sea themselves. We own no hulls and hold no central agency mandates, so nothing on our list is a boat we are paid to fill. And George is a licensed sailing skipper through the Olympiacos SFP Sailing Academy with a powerboat licence valid to 25 metres, who ran charter seasons out of Corfu and operations across the Ionian, Cyclades and Saronic, before which he spent a decade in luxury hospitality operations with the Interni Group in Mykonos, at The Wild Hotel and Ftelia Beach Club, and founded two premium venues in Kifisia. That combination is the whole proposition: someone who knows what the sea does to a schedule and what five-star service actually costs to deliver on a boat.

How much is a weekly motor yacht charter in Greece?

A weekly motor yacht charter in Greece runs from roughly €35,000 all-in for a yacht up to 25m in the off-peak shoulder months to over €231,000 for a 40m+ motor yacht in peak season (mid-July to August). All-in means the base charter fee plus APA provisioning (~35%), VAT at 13% and a suggested crew gratuity (~12.5%). A 30m motor yacht in peak season is about €115,560 all-in for the week.

Where can I see motor yacht charter Greece prices in one place?

This page is that place: the rate matrix above lists motor yacht charter Greece prices by yacht size and season, drawn from our own fleet's live rate cards rather than scraped listings. Prices are quoted in EUR as base weekly rates; the all-in figure adds APA provisioning, VAT at the yacht's certified rate and a discretionary gratuity, and the breakdown table shows exactly how each layer lands.

What will a weekly motor yacht charter cost in 2027?

Owners publish their 2027 rate cards through the autumn, so the bands on this page are the live reference until then. On a same-yacht basis Greek rates have been stable or modestly up year over year, and the 2027 calendars are already open: the practical move for a July or August 2027 week is to reserve the yacht now and let the rate confirm when the card publishes, which is exactly how the early bookings are being written.

What is included in the all-in weekly rate?

The base charter fee covers the yacht, its full crew and insurance. APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance, around a third of the base) is a pre-paid fund for fuel, food and drink, berths and incidentals, reconciled against actual spend at the end. VAT and a discretionary crew gratuity complete the all-in figure. Personal extras ashore are separate.

What VAT applies to a Greek yacht charter in 2026?

Under the 2026 Greek regime, commercial crewed charters longer than 48 hours carry a reduced statutory 13% VAT rate, and certification-based reductions bring most invoiced rates to 5.2-12%; the exact figure for each yacht is stated in the written quote. Short charters under 48 hours, static stays, and bareboat charters without crew start from the standard 24%.

How much is a motor yacht charter per person?

On a 30m motor yacht in peak season (about €115,560 all-in for the week), the cost works out to roughly €19,260 per guest at six guests, or about €28,890 per guest at four. Smaller yachts and the shoulder or off-peak months bring the per-guest figure down considerably.

When is the cheapest time to charter a motor yacht in Greece?

October (off-peak) and May (shoulder) are the best value: the same motor yacht costs around 45% less in October than in peak July-August, with water still warm enough to swim and far quieter anchorages. June and early-to-mid September offer near-peak weather at high-season rates roughly 15% below peak.
