Greece Yacht Charters

We specialize in Greek yacht charters and we can offer boats throughout the Aegean And Ionian Seas. We have a great range of sailing yachts and motor boats available for bareboat charter and can also offer skippered and crewed charters. Many of our boats can be hired by the day rather than for a full weeks charter. Please contact us directly for our great value late charter deals from Greece. We have boats in the following locations; Athens; Crete; Cyclades; Dodecanese; Ionian Sea; Peloponnisos; Saronic Gulf; Sporades

General Info - Greece lies in the Eastern Mediterranean. It sits between the Ionian Sea to the west and the Aegean Sea to the east. The light winds normally found in the Ionian make this a perfect sailing area for those with less experience to undertake their first yacht charter and the Ionian is a perfect location for a flotilla sailing holiday. An Aegean yacht charter presents slightly more challenging conditions weather wise on your sailing holiday with the infamous Meltemi blowing through the summer season but most navigation is by line of sight and in the main provides for a perfectly relaxing yacht charter.

Crete
Crete is the largest island in the Aegean Sea and marks the boundary between Europe and Africa. It is 140 miles long (E - W) and around 20 miles wide (N - S). The centre of the island is mountainous and it is rocky and barren in the main. The exceptions being the plains on the north coast and Lasithi Plateau in the mountains

The Cyclades is the central group of islands in the Aegean Sea. It can be split into three groups; the Northern Cyclades that includes the islands of Kea, Kithnos, Andros, Tinos, Yiaros, Siros, Mikonos, Delos and Rinia; the Central Cyclades that includes Serifos, Sifnos, Andiparos, Paros, Naxos, Dhenoussa, Iraklia, Skhinoussa, Koufonisia and Amorgos; and the Southern Cyclades including the islands of Milos, Kimolos, Folegandros, Sikonos, Ios, Thira and Anafi.

The Ionian Sea lies to the west of the mainland of Greece, it combines both good sailing weather, sunny and warm with predictable winds with a fascinating group of islands. Navigation is generally by line of sight and a passage between islands is generally only a few hours in duration The islands are attractive and steeped in Greek mythology. This is a great place for people learning to sail or building experience and so it is no surprise that it is home to several companies running flotilla sailing holidays. Islands that can be visited include; Corfu, Paxos, Levkas, Meganisi, Ithaca, Cephalonia and Zakinthos.
