Sun, sea and islands: Greece is blessed with thousands of islands, and the best way to explore them is by chartering a luxury yacht. Your typical luxury yacht charter in Greece will start and finish in Athens, where almost all the boats are based, and cruise around the islands for the week, visiting Mykonos and Santorini among others.
The Greek islands have been called “a Mediterranean Polynesia” and for good reason; there are 6 distinct island groups (Cyclades, Ionian, Dodecanese, Sporades, Saronic, North Aegean), offering countless miles of shores that are waiting to be explored on your Greece sailing vacations!
As someone who was born and raised in Greece and has been sailing since childhood, I have actually never managed to visit all the islands by boat! The only people I know to have cruised around all of the islands are professional captains, but they cannot all make that claim! You can keep returning to the Greek Polynesia for summers in a row and keep finding new cruising grounds: the sunny backdrop, the warm seas and the kind, hospitable nature of the locals will remain the same, but the scenery will change across the islands.
Are you unsure what you want to charter? We can help you! Here at Boatbookings we are familiar with the pros and cons of all types of vessels; and if we have to advise for the most suitable boat for a 10-30k budget family charter, crewed catamaran charters are most definitely in the forefront of our proposal and this is why!
We all know and admire the luxury, performance, craftsmanship, design and durability of Nautors Swan sailing yachts. There are many specimens available for charter, some in better condition than others, and there’s only one for your Greece sailing vacations!
There is however one Swan that definitely outpaces all her sisterships: CALLISTO, a Swan 77, extended version. CALLISTO was built in 1995 as one of the biggest Swans at the time and, having had only 2 owners who have spared no expense to keep her in prime condition, she is in immaculate condition still.
For the second consecutive year, the lovely Greek town of Nafplion hosted the most prestigious Yacht Show in the East Med: members of the team attended the Mediterranean Yacht Show in order to evaluate the best yachts for your charter!
This year the show was a big success, with 60 luxury yachts attending: the crème de la crème of the Greek fleet! Nafplion is a city that combines traditional charm, a lovely port and many historical monuments. The many attending International Brokers had the chance to inspect the luxury yachts, get to know their crews, while at the same time enjoying the famous Greek hospitality. Continue reading
