    \n
  1. 35\u201338 ft (2\u20133 cabins): \u20ac1,500\u2013\u20ac2,500 (shoulder) | \u20ac2,500\u2013\u20ac3,500 (high season)<\/li>\n\n\n\n

      Additional costs:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Skipper: \u20ac1,200\u2013\u20ac1,800 per week (plus meals)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Fuel (sailing yacht): \u20ac100\u2013\u20ac250 per week<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Marina\/port fees: \u20ac20\u2013\u20ac70 per night (significantly cheaper than Croatia \u2014 many free town quays)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Anchoring: free in most locations<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. Cruising tax: introduced in some areas, varies<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      6. Deposit: \u20ac1,500\u2013\u20ac3,500 (refundable)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      7. Provisioning: similar to Croatia, \u20ac150\u2013\u20ac250 per person per week for groceries<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

Greece is generally 10\u201315% cheaper than Croatia for mooring costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        When Is the Best Time to Charter a Yacht in Greece?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        The Greek sailing season runs from April to October, with regional differences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        May\u2013June (early season):<\/strong> Excellent sailing in the Ionian. Cyclades can be windy. Lower prices, fewer tourists, pleasant temperatures (22\u201328\u00b0C). Sea warming up (20\u201323\u00b0C).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        July\u2013August (high season):<\/strong> Hottest weather (30\u201336\u00b0C), warmest sea (25\u201327\u00b0C). The Meltemi wind blows strongly in the Aegean (Cyclades, Dodecanese) \u2014 force 5\u20137, sometimes stronger. The Ionian remains calmer. Highest prices, busiest anchorages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        September\u2013early October (late season):<\/strong> Many experienced sailors’ favorite time. Warm sea (still 24\u201326\u00b0C), fewer crowds, good prices, Meltemi calming down. Excellent for the Cyclades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Important: the Meltemi.<\/strong> This strong northerly wind dominates the Aegean Sea from June to September, with peak intensity in July\u2013August. It can reach 30+ knots. The Ionian Sea (western Greece) is largely sheltered from the Meltemi and offers calmer, more predictable conditions \u2014 making it ideal for beginners and families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        What Are the Best Sailing Regions in Greece?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Greece is divided into distinct sailing areas, each with its own character:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Ionian Islands (Lefkada, Corfu, Kefalonia, Ithaca, Zakynthos)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Calm, sheltered waters with gentle breezes (force 2\u20134)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Short distances between islands<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Lush green landscapes, Venetian architecture<\/li>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Close to Athens \u2014 easy access<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Historic islands: Hydra (no cars!), Poros, Aegina, Spetses<\/li>\n\n\n\n

            Cyclades (Mykonos, Santorini, Paros, Naxos, Milos)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • The iconic Greek island experience \u2014 white houses, blue domes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Strong Meltemi winds \u2014 challenging sailing, not for beginners<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Longer passages between islands (15\u201340 NM)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Best for: experienced sailors, September sailing, bucket-list destinations<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Main bases: Lavrion (Athens), Paros, Syros<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Dodecanese (Rhodes, Kos, Symi, Patmos, Leros)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • Less crowded than the Cyclades, culturally rich<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Turkish influences in cuisine and architecture<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Moderate to strong winds, more sheltered than Cyclades<\/li>\n\n\n\n

              • Main base: Kos, Rhodes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                • National Marine Park of Alonissos (monk seals)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Less charter infrastructure, more authentic<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Best for: nature lovers, snorkeling, quiet anchorages<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Main bases: Skiathos, Volos<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  What Sailing Licenses Are Required in Greece?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                  Greece has recently tightened license requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Bareboat charter:<\/strong> The skipper must hold a recognized practical sailing certificate. As of 2025\u20132026, Greek port authorities specifically require one of the following: ICC (International Certificate of Competence), RYA Coastal Skipper, RYA Yachtmaster, or ASA IPC (International Proficiency Certificate). The RYA Day Skipper alone is no longer accepted in Greece \u2014 you need an ICC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  A VHF radio operator’s certificate<\/strong> is also required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Skippered charter:<\/strong> No license needed. A professional Greek skipper handles everything. Available through Yachtic.com for most yachts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Important:<\/strong> Greece enforces these requirements more strictly than Croatia. Always carry original certificates (not copies) and present them to port authorities upon request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  What Are the Best Sailing Routes in Greece?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
