How Much Is a Yacht Charter in Greece for 12 Guests?

Twelve is the most a charter yacht in Greece may carry, and the yachts that do are a short list: six cabins, a chef, a crew of five to eight. What they cost, and why there is no thirteenth.

Last updated September 2026

Why twelve, and what the yachts for twelve are like

The number is the law's, not ours. A yacht carrying more than twelve passengers is a passenger ship under the international conventions, with the construction, the crewing and the certification that implies, and almost no charter yacht is built to it. So twelve is the ceiling on every yacht on this list but one, the 64 metre certified for 49, and a party of thirteen is either that yacht or two yachts cruising together, which this house writes and which is a better week than it sounds. Six cabins is the yacht for twelve. The Admiral 101 at 30 metres is the entry, six cabins for twelve at EUR 45,000 base, which twelve guests share as one price for the week. Above it, the Tecnomar 116 and the Cantieri di Pisa 125 at 36 to 38 metres, the Fountaine Pajot Power 80 for a party that wants a catamaran, and the Picchiotti at 47 metres with a crew of ten. The five-cabin yachts carry twelve with a triple or a Pullman, which suits a family with children better than six couples. What this house writes for twelve. The six-cabin yachts against the five-cabin ones, with who sleeps where, the base, the APA at the type's rate estimated for the route, the VAT at the yacht's rate and the gratuity range for a crew of five to eight, within twenty-four hours. 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 yachts for twelve go for 2027

There are few six-cabin yachts and every large family wants August; they are contracted a year ahead, and September is the open month. 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 for the cabin plan with the proposal; six doubles and five cabins with a triple are different weeks.
  • A party of thirteen on two yachts cruising together is legal, common and often happier; ask for it.
  • The gratuity for a crew of eight is 10 to 15 percent of the base; on a EUR 80,000 week it is EUR 8,000 to 12,000.
  • The 64 metre certified for 49 is the one yacht in Greece for a party above twelve on one hull.
