Yacht Boat Hire: Transparent Pricing, Seasonal Rates and Inclusive Services

Yacht boat hire in the Aegean has never been clearer. We’ve mapped the cost of luxury on the Aegean, turning numbers into a clear compass for your trip. Curious why a charter in July feels pricier than in November? It’s not just the sun; it’s the crew, the fuel, and the demand that swell the price. Think of peak season like a crowded beach—every slot is hot. Off‑season, the same yacht slides into your calendar at a gentler rate.

Seasonal pricing is a dance of supply and demand. In July and August, rates climb roughly 20 % over the baseline. In the season of September, October, and November, we see a 15 % discount that feels like a secret handshake.

Pricing Breakdown

Inclusive Services

• Full crew: captain, chef, deckhands
• Fuel, water, and maintenance: all included
• On‑board catering: continental & Mediterranean menus
• Water‑sports equipment: kayaks, paddleboards, snorkeling gear
• Airport transfer and concierge: seamless arrival

A 45‑m crewed charter in July costs €18 000/day, but the same vessel in October drops to €15 000/day, saving guests €3 000 while still offering full crew and gourmet meals.

Weekly discounts reward loyalty. A 7‑day booking on a 40‑m monohull might see a 10 % reduction, turning €126 000 into €113 400. That’s €12 600 saved, enough for extra water‑sports or a private chef night.

Hidden fees are a myth when you know what’s included. Fuel, water, and maintenance are baked into the daily rate, so you never face a surprise bill.

Crew expertise turns a yacht into a floating concierge. Our captains logged thousands of nautical miles in the Aegean, and chefs craft menus reflecting local produce and dietary preferences.

Compared to hidden‑price models, our transparency shines. A bare‑boat charter may seem cheaper, but extra fuel, pilot, and catering can add €5 000 daily.

With this clarity, you can focus on the experience, not the math. Think of your charter as a recipe—ingredients clear, the chef knows the taste, and the final dish is a memory.
