Sample itinerary

7-day skeleton

  1. Day 1

    Embark Mykonos · Ornos

    Board in the afternoon and anchor at Ornos, 6 to 12 metres over sand with excellent shelter from the north wind and a tender dock ashore. Dinner on deck, the town a short ride away, no passage on the first evening.

  2. Day 2

    Delos by tender · Psarou

    Delos in visiting hours, roughly eight to three, the yacht lying off in 10 to 18 metres while the tender takes the party to the site before the ferries. Afternoon at Psarou, 8 to 15 metres over sand, for Nammos and the beach service to the yacht, or Platis Gialos next door for the quieter tavernas.

  3. Day 3

    Syros · Finikas, 25 miles

    West to Syros in the morning calm. Finikas on the south-west coast is 3 to 6 metres over sand and the best reliable Meltemi shelter on the island; Ermoupoli, the neoclassical capital, is a taxi away for the evening, with full provisioning if the chef wants the market.

  4. Day 4

    Paros · Naoussa or Parikia, 30 miles

    South to Paros. Naoussa is the prettiest village in the Cyclades, 8 to 15 metres over sand, excellent from the south but open to the Meltemi, so on a windy day the yacht lies at Parikia on the west side, Meltemi-protected, and the party takes the ten minute drive to Naoussa for Mario's or Barbarossa.

  5. Day 5

    Antiparos · Despotiko channel and Soros

    Five miles to the Antiparos channel. The Despotiko channel is 4 to 9 metres over sand with excellent holding, one of the most protected anchorages in the southern Cyclades in a northerly; Soros on the south of Antiparos is 6 to 12 metres, sheltered from every direction, the clearest water of the week.

  6. Day 6

    Paros east coast · Pisso Livadi

    Round to the east coast: Pisso Livadi, 6 to 10 metres over sand, good from the north and west, a fishing village with the fresh fish at the harbour tavernas. Kolymbithres on the north coast, 4 to 8 metres among the granite boulders, for the swim on the way.

  7. Day 7

    Return Mykonos · Kalafati, 30 miles

    North in the morning. Last night at Kalafati on the east coast of Mykonos, 6 to 10 metres over sand, the best Meltemi shelter on the island and the least-visited bay, or back at Ornos for the town. Disembark on the morning of day eight.

Why George Yachts

For this brief specifically

  1. The eight-guest yachts we represent are named above with their own rate cards, and if the right one for your dates is not among them we say so; none is a boat we are paid to fill.

  2. The week is built from our own anchorage guides, depths and shelter included, and it moves with the Meltemi forecast rather than with a brochure: Ornos or Kalafati, Naoussa or Parikia, decided the evening before.

  3. One person from the first message to disembarkation, the chef briefed on the eight of you before you board, and every document through The Cabin, our guest portal.

Frequently asked

About this charter type

Can 8 guests take a five or six cabin yacht for more space?

Yes. A 35 to 40 metre motor yacht with five or six cabins gives eight guests a spare cabin and real separation: on the Index that band lists at EUR 59,900 to 150,000 a week net base, and the yachts we represent in it, PAREAKI II, KINTARO and CAN'T REMEMBER, run EUR 80,000 to 115,000 from their own cards. On two hulls, Genny, a five-cabin Sunreef 80 at EUR 56,000 to 79,000, does the same for four couples who want privacy from each other.

How much does a yacht charter in Mykonos for 8 guests cost?

Per yacht per week before VAT and APA, from each yacht's own rate card: MARY or LADY L from EUR 17,500, Azul EUR 20,000 to 26,900, Explorion EUR 21,000 to 28,000, ALFA EUR 29,900 to 31,500, M FIVE EUR 31,000 to 33,000, Kimata EUR 31,500 to 42,500, Alexandra II EUR 33,500 to 43,500, SEAS THE DAY EUR 36,500 to 44,000, NAYLA EUR 39,500 to 47,500, ALTEYA EUR 49,000 to 69,000, Above & Beyond EUR 56,000 to 77,000. Add APA of 20 to 30% on a catamaran or 30 to 40% on a motor yacht, VAT at 5.2 to 12% by certification, and a customary 10 to 15% crew gratuity on the base. One price for the eight of you, never divided by heads.

Catamaran or motor yacht for 8 in Mykonos?

The catamaran for two couples with children or a party that wants the level deck and the sandy bays: ALTEYA and Above & Beyond carry the Cyclades wind at 21 to 24 metres, and their APA runs 20 to 30% of the base against 30 to 40% on a motor yacht. The motor yacht for speed between islands and the harbour profile: NAYLA adds stabilisers for the nights at anchor, ALFA and M FIVE run 23 to 24 knots. In August, the bigger the hull the better it carries the afternoon Meltemi.

Best month for a Mykonos 8-guest charter?

Late June or September. Same warm water as peak, the Meltemi quieter, the anchorages less crowded, and on the Greek Charter Index the shoulder months price 15 to 25% below peak with three to four months of lead time rather than a year. Mid-July to mid-August is the wind: the itinerary above is built so that every night has a lee, Ornos and Kalafati on Mykonos, Finikas on Syros, Parikia on Paros, the Despotiko channel.

Can we start from Athens instead of Mykonos?

Yes, and it is usually cheaper. Most of the yachts we represent are based around Athens; a Mykonos start adds the delivery each way on the delivery line, an Athens start does not. Alimos to Mykonos is 90 nautical miles: under three hours on ONE at 33 knots, about three hours forty-five on ALFA, MARY or M FIVE at 23 to 24, and the first night can be Kea, 35 miles out, in one of the safest natural harbours in the Mediterranean. Our Athens to Mykonos page does the arithmetic.

Where does a party of 8 eat and go out in Mykonos from the yacht?

Psarou for Nammos, with beach service to the yacht at anchor in 8 to 15 metres; Paradise and Super Paradise on the south coast for the daytime beach clubs, where the yacht anchors in 10 to 18 metres over sand with excellent shelter from the north; Ornos and Platis Gialos for the tavernas and the tender dock; the town for the evening from any of them. The crew book tables; we do not claim contacts we do not have.

How far in advance should 8 guests book Mykonos?

Six to twelve months for July and August on the Greek Charter Index, and the four-cabin catamarans named above go early because they are the class families choose for the Cyclades. June and September hold availability closer in. On this desk, 26 of the 57 dated enquiries received between 30 May and 6 September 2026 were already for 2027.

What if the Meltemi blows all week?

Then the week above still works, because every night in it has a lee: Ornos and Kalafati on Mykonos, Finikas on Syros, Parikia on Paros, the Despotiko channel and Soros on Antiparos are all sheltered from the north. Passages are done in the morning calm, 25 to 30 miles each, and the captain decides the evening before. A bigger hull carries the afternoon sea better, which is why the 21 to 28 metre boats above sit where they do.
