Notes from George
- Book Athens-departure charters 6 to 12 months ahead for July and August, the Greek Charter Index 2026 lead time. Boarding directly from Alimos Marina saves the Athens positioning leg.
- 3 Days charters work best with a clear priority list - what 2-3 things matter most. The captain optimises around them.
- Crew gratuity convention 10-15% of base rate, at your discretion, handed to the captain at the end. Same convention regardless of charter duration.
- One price per yacht for the whole charter, crew included, divided among the guests however you choose.
- Ask the captain at day-one briefing about the itinerary's flexibility - Greek weather changes; the route adapts.
Frequently asked
Questions we get about 3 Days Yacht Charter Athens
How much does a 3 days yacht charter from Athens cost?
This house prices by the week, one price per yacht with the crew included. On the Greek Charter Index 2026 the weekly base runs from EUR 17,000 for a 15 metre crewed catamaran to EUR 235,000 for the yachts above 50 metres; a 16 to 19 metre sailing catamaran lists at EUR 18,900 to 48,000 and a 22 to 25 metre motor yacht at 21,000 to 47,500. The five-night Saronic week, the shortest programme we write, is quoted by the owner from that weekly rate. Add APA of 20 to 40% by yacht type, Greek VAT at the certified rate (5.2 to 12%) and a gratuity of 10 to 15% of base at your discretion.
Why 3 days instead of the standard week?
Because a three-day charter is not a programme this house sells on its own. The shortest we write is the five-night Saronic week from Athens; the three-day outline on this page shows how a week from this port opens.
Can we customize the itinerary?
Yes. The sample itinerary above is one common pattern. The captain plans the actual route based on weather, your preferences, and any specific destinations you want included. Brief us at booking.
What if the weather changes?
Captains plan with weather flexibility. Even on the five-night week, the captain adjusts the planned itinerary to avoid weather and find the best anchorages. The boat stays in protected anchorages if conditions require.
Should we board Athens directly or reposition the yacht from Athens?
For a week or less, direct boarding from Alimos Marina saves a full day against the Athens positioning leg. A yacht already in the area is the first we propose; positioning a specific yacht based elsewhere is quoted per yacht by the owner.
