Luxury Yacht Rental in Greece: Seasonal Pricing

Think a low‑season yacht rental could be cheaper than a luxury hotel stay? We’ve pulled data from YachtCharterFleet and Epic Yacht Charters—numbers that really stand out. Imagine spending a week sailing a Greek island yacht, with the wind as your personal concierge. Want to see how the seasons change both price and vibe?

These itineraries blend luxury sailing around Greece with private yacht holiday experiences.

Seasonal Pricing Breakdown

Crewed, Bareboat, and Small Luxury

Season Crewed (per week) Bareboat (per week) Small Luxury (per week)
Low (Oct‑Mar) €30 000–€35 000 €2 200–€3 000 €4 500–€5 500
Shoulder (Apr‑May, Sep‑Oct) €35 000–€45 000 €3 000–€4 500 €5 500–€7 000
High (Jun‑Aug) €45 000–€60 000 €4 500–€6 500 €7 000–€9 000

YachtCharterFleet lists an average crewed cost of €32 000 in low season for a 70‑m vessel. Epic Yacht Charters reports a bareboat price of €3 500 in shoulder season for a 35‑m sailboat.

What’s Included

  • Fuel and water: ~€500 per day, bundled.
  • Insurance: €2 000 per charter.
  • Crew salaries and tips: €1 500 per week, included in crewed rate.
  • Onboard catering: optional, separate cost.
  • Navigation and docking fees: included.

These inclusions mean no surprise line items. A bareboat feels like a budget luxury because only fuel and catering add up.

Ever wondered why a bareboat feels cheaper? It’s because the crew salary, which can top €1 200 per week, is omitted. That leaves you with just fuel, water, and a small catering budget.

How Seasons Shape the Experience

Low season offers quieter harbors and lower crew demand, but weather can be choppy. Shoulder season delivers ideal winds, vibrant island life, and moderate pricing. High season brings crowded ports, higher fuel, and the peak of Greek hospitality. Each season changes not just cost, but the mood of the trip.

Think of the Aegean like a stage: low season is a quiet rehearsal, shoulder a vibrant performance, high a sold‑out concert. Fuel consumption rises 15 % during high season due to higher speeds and more stops. A 70‑m yacht consumes ~70 litres per hour; at €0.90 per litre, that’s €63 per hour.

Crewed experience is rated 4.8/5 for hospitality.

Best Time to Book for Value and Experience

For value, October‑March gives the lowest rates and relaxed vibes. For a balance of good weather, lively islands, and reasonable costs, April‑May or September‑October is the sweet spot. If you crave the buzz of summer and can stretch the budget, July‑August is worth the premium.

Next, we’ll dive into the step‑by‑step booking process, so you’re ready to lock in your charter.
