Weekly Yacht Charter in Athens: 7 Days With Crew
A yacht charter for a week in Athens means seven days and nights aboard, not a single afternoon on the water. One skipper and crew stay with you the whole trip, adjusting each day's route between the Saronic islands around wind, swell, and what your group wants to do next.

One Crew, Whole Trip
The same skipper and crew stay with you for the full week, learning your pace and preferences instead of handing you off at each port.
-
Weekly Rate Advantage
Booking seven days at once costs less than stitching together separate day charters, and it is quoted as one straightforward weekly figure.
-
Route Built Daily
Each morning the skipper reviews wind and sea conditions with you and adjusts the plan, so the week follows real weather rather than a fixed script.
How much does it cost to charter a yacht for a week in Athens?
A seven-day charter rate covers the yacht, skipper, and crew for the full week, along with bedding, towels, and a berth in the home port between legs. Fuel, moorings in ports away from base, on-board catering, airport transfers, and water toys such as SUP boards, seabobs, or jet skis are quoted separately, since they depend on how far you range and how the group wants to eat and spend the days. On this fleet, weekly charters start from €30002 for 7 days, with the final figure shaped by the yacht you choose and the extras you add. For July and August, book three to four months ahead, since the boats suited to a full week on the water are reserved early in those months.

First Days Near Athens
The charter usually opens with shorter runs to nearby islands and bays, giving everyone time to settle before longer days at sea.
-
Mid-Week Route Shifts
Each morning the skipper checks wind and sea state and proposes the day's plan, adjusting the route if conditions or guest wishes change.
-
Return and Disembark
The final day brings the yacht back to the home port, where the crew handles mooring and disembarking while you settle any extras used.
Who is a week-long yacht charter in Athens suited to?
A seven-day charter suits families and groups of friends who want the whole holiday on the water rather than a single outing. Instead of packing for a hotel and arranging separate day trips to the islands, the group settles into cabins once and lets the yacht move the itinerary forward each day.
The format works for mixed generations, since there is no fixed daily schedule to keep up with, and quieter mornings can be balanced against livelier afternoons near Aegina or Hydra. Larger gatherings, including milestone celebrations or company retreats, can look at vessels built for bigger groups, such as Manana Yacht with capacity for 60 guests, while couples or smaller families are usually better matched to compact motor yachts in the fleet.
What unites every booking is the same question: do you want a week that moves at your pace, with one crew who already knows your routine by day three.
What does a typical week-long route around Athens look like?
Most week-long charters begin and end at the home port in Piraeus or Alimos Marina, with the days in between shaped around the Saronic Gulf's short hops between islands. Rather than long open-water crossings, the route favours a string of close anchorages, which keeps sailing time reasonable and leaves afternoons free for swimming stops or time ashore.
A typical pattern over the week might include:
- One or two nights near Aegina, for quieter mornings and an easy first stop
- A longer stretch toward Hydra, with time at anchor before moving on
- Return legs that bring the yacht back toward the home port with a day or two in hand
The skipper adjusts this sequence daily around wind and sea state, so no two weeks run exactly the same course, even on the same yacht.
Questions before you book
-
How much does it cost to charter a yacht for a week in Athens?
Weekly charters on this fleet start from €30002 for 7 days. That figure covers the yacht, skipper, and crew; fuel, mooring fees away from base, catering, and extras such as water toys are quoted on top, depending on the itinerary.
-
Can we charter a yacht for longer than a week?
Yes, charters beyond seven days can be arranged on request, typically up to 10 to 14 days depending on the yacht and crew availability for that period.
-
Does the same crew stay with us for the whole week?
Yes. One skipper and crew remain with you for the full seven days, rather than changing at each port, which keeps the pace and handling of the yacht consistent throughout the charter.
-
What is not included in the weekly rate?
Fuel, moorings in ports beyond the home base, on-board catering, airport transfers, and water toys such as SUP boards, seabobs, or jet skis are arranged separately and added to the final cost.
-
When should we book a week-long charter for July or August?
Book three to four months ahead for July and August, since those are the busiest weeks for a full seven-day charter and the better-matched yachts are reserved early.
