Yacht Charter — Cyclades

The Cyclades — Mykonos, Santorini, Paros, Milos, Naxos, Ios, Folegandros, Antiparos — is the most photographed yacht charter region in the world. It is also the most weather-dependent: the Meltemi wind shapes every itinerary July through August. We charter here every week of the season and write the itineraries that account for the weather, not the brochure.

Best fit

First-time charterers wanting iconic scenery + UHNW guests requesting maximum privacy in coves like Antiparos and Despotiko. Best months: late May–June and September–early October (calmer winds, lower rates).

Weather note

The Meltemi (NW seasonal wind) blows strongest mid-July through end-August, occasionally Force 6–7. The right captain re-routes around it; the wrong captain locks you in port. We staff the right captains.
