Where Do Superyachts Go in Greece?

The bays the big yachts anchor in, the marinas they leave from, and what a week above 30 metres costs on the rate cards this house holds.

Last updated September 2026

How the large yachts cruise Greece

They go where the water is deep and the view is long. A 40 metre yacht wants a bay she can swing in, a tender run to a good lunch, and a night without the ferry wash. In the Cyclades that is Rineia, where she anchors opposite Delos and sends the tender across at nine; the Despotiko channel, where she sits behind Antiparos out of the Meltemi; Polyaigos, uninhabited, with Milos's restaurants a tender ride away. Mykonos is the evening, from the south coast bays rather than the old harbour. The west is calmer. From Corfu a large yacht runs the north east coast, then Paxos and Antipaxos, Kioni on Ithaca and Fiskardo on Kefalonia, in green water without the Aegean wind; it is the ground this house suggests to families with young children and to anyone who wants to swim more than sail. What it costs and who arranges it. Above 30 metres the Index runs from EUR 49,000 to 235,000 a week, with the APA at 30 to 40 percent because fuel dominates. The booking runs through the principal's office on a MYBA-form contract with a confidentiality clause, and the crew's discretion is part of the brief. 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

  • Families of ten or twelve who want a 35 to 50 metre yacht with a full crew
  • Family offices arranging a week for a principal
  • Groups who want Mykonos in the evening and a quiet bay at night
  • Anyone comparing a Greek superyacht week with the Riviera on the same basis

When the large yachts book

Above 40 metres, peak weeks commit a year or more ahead; the August 2027 weeks on the largest yachts are being spoken for now. 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

  • Flisvos is the marina for the larger yachts in Athens; Alimos takes most of the list. Both are twenty-five minutes from the airport.
  • Santorini has no real anchorage for a large yacht; see the caldera from the water in the afternoon and sleep at Ios or Folegandros.
  • Ask for the yacht's stabilisers at anchor, not only under way; eight on this list have them.
  • A 40 metre yacht in the Ionian is rarer than in the Cyclades and finds every bay empty.
