Greece Yacht Charters

At A Glance

  • Gorgeous sandy beaches & pebbly coves
  • Straightforward navigation
  • Ancient ruins & historical landmarks
  • Discover the incredible Saronic Gulf
  • Secluded islands only accessible by boat

The Cyclades, Dodecanese, Sporades, and Ionians – these are the magnificent isles that create a beautiful and historic setting for a Greek sailing vacation. Aboard your own private yacht, you can follow in the footsteps of mythical legends and walk among historic sites.

While some of the sailing destinations in the Mediterranean entail open-water, often spirited passages well offshore, a Greece yacht charter is far more sedate and family-friendly. An air of adventure fills the wind above the Saronic Gulf and extends to the shores of Poros, Hydra, Cape Sounion and beyond. And a Power yacht charter from Athens provides the freedom and speed you need to see more of this majestic cruising ground.

With sensational weather, one of the richest histories of any country in the world, and incredible food, Greece is one of the most magical places to sail a yacht. Greece enjoys stunning weather, with sizzling temperatures of up to 89 degrees Fahrenheit in Athens. 

Whether you’re on the family vacation of a lifetime, a romantic couples yacht charter or celebrating with friends, Greece has a treasure trove of wonders to uncover. From stunning Corfu to historic Athens, discover our bases and start planning your yacht charter around Greece today.
