How Much Is a Yacht Charter in Greece for 8 Guests?

Eight is the number the Greek crewed fleet is built around: four cabins, one price, the entry catamaran at EUR 17,000 base and everything above it.

Last updated September 2026

Why eight is the number, and how to climb the ladder

Four cabins is the Greek standard. The crewed fleet was built for eight: the 15 metre Lagoons and Balis with four doubles and a crew of two, the 20 metre Fountaine Pajots with four or five and a chef, the 24 to 27 metre Ferrettis and Pershings with four and a crew of four. Eight guests fit almost every yacht on the list, and the question is the holiday, not the fit. The ladder, honestly. The entry catamaran at about EUR 22,000 all in is a real week: four doubles, a captain and a cook-hostess, the Saronic or the western Cyclades. The 16 to 19 metre catamarans add a fifth cabin and a foredeck lounge. At 20 metres a chef and a jacuzzi come aboard and the week changes character, about EUR 40,000 to 68,000 all in. The 24 to 27 metre motor yachts bring the flybridge, the speed and a crew of four for the same money, with the APA at 30 to 40 percent on a motor yacht against 20 to 30 on a catamaran. The 24 metre catamarans with a crew of five are the top of the list for eight. What this house writes for eight. Three yachts across the rungs the party is considering, with four doubles or two doubles and two twins as the party needs, the base, the APA at the type's rate, the VAT and the gratuity range on each, within twenty-four hours.

When the four-cabin yachts go for 2027

The four-cabin catamarans and motor yachts are the most requested yachts in Greece and their July and August weeks go first; the entry catamarans for EUR 17,000 base are the first of all. 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

  • Four couples: ask for four doubles in writing; on some four-cabin yachts the fourth is a twin.
  • Two families: ask for two doubles and two twins, and for the twins next to each other.
  • The APA for eight is the yacht's; the food line scales, the fuel and the berths do not.
  • The gratuity is on the base, 10 to 15 percent; eight guests usually split it four ways.

Frequently asked

Questions we get about How Much Is a Yacht Charter in Greece for 8 Guests?

How much is a yacht charter in Greece for 8 guests?

From about EUR 22,000 a week all in on a 15 metre crewed catamaran with four cabins; EUR 40,000 to 68,000 all in on a 20 metre catamaran or a 24 to 27 metre motor yacht with a chef; the 24 metre catamarans EUR 56,000 to 90,000 base. Per yacht, never by the head.

Do eight guests pay more than six?

No; the price is per yacht per week. Eight guests share the same figure six would pay, and the only line that grows is the food in the APA.

Which yachts carry eight?

Almost every yacht on the list: the 15 metre catamarans with four doubles, the 20 metre catamarans with four or five cabins and a chef, the 24 to 27 metre motor yachts with four cabins, the 24 metre catamarans with four to six.

Four doubles or two doubles and two twins?

Both layouts exist; four couples need the first, two families the second, and this house names the layout in the proposal.

Where should eight go?

The Saronic from Athens for a first week; the western Cyclades on a catamaran; the Mykonos loop on a motor yacht; the Ionian from Lefkada for families.

How do we start?

WhatsApp +1 786 798 8798 or george@georgeyachts.com with the dates and whether you are four couples or two families; three yachts with the all-in week come back within twenty-four hours.
