Quick answer

Q. Can you charter a yacht from Paros for three days?

Not from this house as a stand-alone charter: we write weekly programmes, and the shortest we place is the five-night Saronic week from Athens, Aegina 18 nautical miles, Poros 25 and Hydra 35 on the house table. What three days from Paros look like is the opening of a Cyclades week: Naoussa, the Antiparos channel and Despotiko, all within 5 to 12 miles of Parikia. One price per yacht with crew, from the Greek Charter Index 2026: a 16 to 19 metre sailing catamaran EUR 18,900 to 48,000 a week, a 22 to 25 metre motor yacht 21,000 to 47,500, with any shorter programme quoted by the owner from the weekly rate.

3 Days from Paros - what's realistic

This house writes weekly charters, and the five-night Saronic week from Athens is the shortest programme we place. A three-day search usually means one of two things, and both have an honest answer. If your dates are fixed and short, the five-night week from Alimos reaches Aegina (18 nautical miles), Poros (25) and Hydra (35) on the house distance table without a single long passage, priced per yacht as one charter with the crew included. If the question is what the first three days of a week look like from this port, the outline below is exactly that: the opening of a week, written so you can see how the itinerary builds. The yachts that suit a compact programme are the crewed catamarans of 16 to 22 metres and the 20 to 30 metre motor yachts: on the Greek Charter Index 2026 a 16 to 19 metre sailing catamaran runs EUR 18,900 to 48,000 a week, a 20 to 22 metre EUR 31,500 to 43,500, a 22 to 25 metre motor yacht EUR 21,000 to 47,500, per yacht before VAT and APA. Five-night pricing is quoted by the owner from the weekly rate, never assumed. Departure from Parikia. Best paired with yacht selection that matches the duration: longer trips suit larger yachts with separate crew zones; the five-night Saronic week suits 16 to 22 metre crewed catamarans and 20 to 30 metre motor yachts.

Notes from George

Book Paros-departure charters 6 to 12 months ahead for July and August, the Greek Charter Index 2026 lead time. Boarding directly from Parikia 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 Paros

How much does a 3 days yacht charter from Paros 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 Paros directly or reposition the yacht from Athens?

For a week or less, direct boarding from Parikia 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.
