Notes from George
- Book Naxos-departure charters 6 to 12 months ahead for July and August, the Greek Charter Index 2026 lead time. Boarding directly from Naxos chora saves the Athens positioning leg.
- 7 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 7 Days Yacht Charter Naxos
How much does a 7 days yacht charter from Naxos cost?
One price per yacht per week 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 20 to 22 metre sailing catamaran lists at EUR 31,500 to 43,500, a 26 to 31 metre motor yacht at 35,900 to 75,000, a 35 to 40 metre at 59,900 to 150,000. 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 7 days instead of the standard week?
The 7-day format is the standard Greek charter duration and most yachts are priced around it. Gives real island variety without becoming an extended trip.
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. Multi-day charters typically have 1-2 weather-buffer days built into the route. The boat stays in protected anchorages if conditions require.
Should we board Naxos directly or reposition the yacht from Athens?
For a week or less, direct boarding from Naxos chora 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.
