How much does a catamaran charter in Greece cost?

Skippered catamaran charters in Greece start from €2,100/week for a 37–40ft Lagoon, Bali, or Excess catamaran. Mid-range Lagoon 46 and Bali 4.8 charters typically run €4,000–€8,000/week. Luxury crewed catamarans with captain, hostess, and chef start from €33,000/week and go up to €40,000+/week for the 76ft S/Cat Sameli. Early-bird bookings before March save up to 15%.

Do I need a sailing license to charter a catamaran in Greece?

No sailing license is required. All Athena Catamarans charters include either a professional skipper (skippered charter) or a full crew (luxury crewed charter). The captain handles all sailing, navigation, and anchoring. You can participate as much or as little as you wish.

When is the best time to charter a catamaran in Greece?

The Greek catamaran charter season runs April through October. May–June and September–October offer warm weather (22–28°C), moderate winds, fewer crowds, and shoulder-season prices. July–August is peak season — hot, sunny, and windy in the Cyclades (Meltemi). October offers peaceful anchorages and the lowest rates of the season.

Which Greek islands are best for catamaran charter?

Cyclades (Mykonos, Santorini, Paros, Naxos) for iconic island-hopping; Ionian (Corfu, Lefkada, Kefalonia, Zakynthos) for calm waters and family-friendly sailing; Saronic Gulf (Hydra, Poros, Aegina) for short charters from Athens; and Dodecanese (Rhodes, Kos, Symi) for cultural sailing along the Turkish coast. We have charter bases in all four regions.

What is the difference between skippered and luxury crewed catamaran charter?

Skippered: a professional captain handles all sailing while you and your group provision and cook. Luxury crewed: full crew including captain, hostess, and award-winning chef, with all meals, premium beverages, and water toys included. Skippered from €2,100/week; luxury crewed from €33,000/week.
