Few places reward a yacht like Greece. Thousands of islands spread across the Aegean and Ionian, each with its own character, from marquee scenes to quiet coves and ancient harbors. A crewed charter lets you move between island groups at your own pace, with a Moran broker handling mooring, timing and the itinerary so you can simply enjoy the water.
Greece is best understood by island group. Each has a distinct feel and season, and the right mix depends on your party and your time aboard. Explore the groups below, then see charter destinations for more of the regions we serve.
The right yacht makes the trip. A Moran charter broker matches the yacht to your party, your route and the season, then handles the details from first inquiry to final day aboard. Browse current options through yachts for charter and a broker will confirm live availability for Greece.
With more than 6,000 islands to explore, spanning major island chains such as the Cyclades Islands, the Aegean Islands, the Sporades Islands, the Ionian Islands, the Dodecanese Islands, and the Saronic Islands, there’s a Greek locale to match every desired experience. Whether you want an off-the-beaten-track feel or want to be in the heart of all the action, Greece offers the ideal spot for every kind of charter. Some of the most popular among yachting enthusiasts include:
The Cyclades hold the images most people picture when they think of Greece. Mykonos brings the liveliest scene, Santorini the caldera views, and Paros, Naxos and Milos add beaches, villages and calmer anchorages between them. It is the group for marquee stops and open Aegean cruising. Cyclades Islands charter
Closer to the Turkish coast, the Dodecanese reward variety. Rhodes pairs a medieval old town with long beaches, Symi is one of the prettiest harbors in Greece, and Kos and Patmos add history and quiet. It is a rich, less crowded route for a longer charter. Dodecanese Islands charter
On the western side, the Ionian is greener and calmer, with shorter hops and gentler water. Corfu, Paxos, Kefalonia and Zakynthos suit families and first-time charter guests, and the sailing is forgiving through the season. Ionian Islands charter
Just south of Athens, the Saronic Gulf makes an easy, elegant start or finish to a Greek charter. Hydra sets the tone: no cars, stone mansions above a horseshoe harbor and a long history as a haven for artists and collectors. Nearby, Spetses, Poros and Aegina add pine-covered hills, quiet anchorages and relaxed harbor towns, all within short hops of the mainland.
Rates vary by yacht, season and length of charter, so we do not publish a fixed price. A Moran charter broker provides current pricing for the yachts that suit your plans.
It depends on the group. The Cyclades suit marquee stops, the Ionian suits calmer cruising, and the Dodecanese offer variety. A broker helps you choose. See the Cyclades, Dodecanese and Ionian pages.
