Charter a private crewed yacht in Greece. Mykonos, Santorini and Paros in the Cyclades, Corfu and Kefalonia in the Ionian, and the Saronic islands, all from Athens, the main charter base.
In short
A Greece yacht charter is a private crewed voyage, usually 7 to 14 days long. A week typically costs around €55,000 plus expenses, with most yachts between €35,000 and €100,000 and superyachts above €500,000. The classic route covers the Cyclades from Athens to Mykonos, Paros and Santorini, or the Ionian and Saronic islands. Navélia sends three available yachts for your dates in about 10 minutes.
Why Greece
Greece is the ultimate island hopping playground. More than two hundred inhabited islands sit within a few hours of one another, so a crewed yacht charter lets you wake up to the windmills of Mykonos, swim in the volcanic caldera of Santorini and dine in a Paros fishing harbour, all in the same week.
Athens is the main charter base, with marinas at Alimos and Flisvos a short transfer from the international airport. From there the Saronic islands of Hydra, Spetses and Aegina are an easy first day, the Cyclades open up to the southeast, and the green Ionian islands of Corfu and Kefalonia offer calm seas on the western side of the country.
Navélia books crewed multi day and weekly charters in Greece, from 20 metre crewed yachts to 100 metre flagship superyachts, drawn live from a worldwide fleet of 1,300+ vessels. Every charter includes full crew; most weekly rates fall between €40,000 and €130,000, and flagship superyachts reach €3,000,000.

Overview
May to October. June and September bring warm seas and gentler winds. July and August are peak season, with the meltemi wind adding sparkle to Cycladic sailing.
A full week from Athens covers the Saronic or a Cycladic loop beautifully. Ten days to two weeks allow Mykonos, Paros and Santorini at a relaxed pace. Day charters run from Athens, Mykonos and Corfu.
Dolphins throughout the Aegean, loggerhead turtles in the Ionian, and superb snorkelling over rocky reefs and sea caves around Paxos, Milos and Polyaigos.
The glamour capital of the Cyclades. Beach clubs at Psarou and Super Paradise, windmills above the old port and superb dining ashore.
Anchor beneath the caldera cliffs and watch the famous Oia sunset from the water, far from the crowds on land.
The heart of the Cyclades. Golden beaches, whitewashed villages and reliable summer winds that sailors love.
Green islands, calm seas and Venetian towns. Corfu, Paxos and Antipaxos have some of the clearest water in the Mediterranean.
A car free harbour town two hours from Athens, with Spetses and Aegina nearby. Perfect for shorter charters.
