Chartering a Yacht in Greece: Your Questions Answered

April to June and September to October are ideal for a luxury yacht charter in Greece, offering warm weather, fewer crowds and smooth cruising conditions. Late summer and early autumn bring the warmest sea temperatures, perfect for diving and watersports. While July and August attract more visitors, Pelorus Yachting can craft bespoke, off-the-beaten-path itineraries that allow you to enjoy an authentic Greek escape, even during peak season.

Greece enjoys a Mediterranean climate with long, dry summers and mild winters. From May to October, average daytime temperatures range from 24°C (75°F) in spring and autumn to around 33°C (91°F) in peak summer. July and August are the hottest months, but the seasonal Meltemi winds bring a refreshing cooling effect, particularly in the Aegean Sea.

Summer in Greece brings the Meltemi wind, a dry northern breeze that typically picks up in the afternoons from late June to August, particularly in the Aegean. While motor yachts often cruise in the mornings to avoid these winds, sailing yachts can take full advantage of these thrilling conditions in the afternoon. Captains are highly experienced in navigating the Meltemi, with advanced tech and flexible itineraries ensuring both safety and comfort. For gentler conditions, the Ionian Sea remains unaffected by this wind.

Pelorus Yachting offers access to a diverse fleet of luxury charter yachts in Greece. After a detailed consultation, we’ll present a curated selection of vessels suited to your adventure, from high-performance sailing yachts and sleek motor yachts to spacious catamarans and expedition-ready vessels. Each offers a distinct way to explore the Greek isles, and your bespoke Pelorus itinerary will be expertly crafted to make the most of its capabilities, features and onboard amenities.

All luxury sailing yachts chartering in Greece are fully crewed with highly trained professionals who manage every aspect of navigation, safety and onboard service. These experienced crews are not only experts in harnessing Greece’s legendary sailing conditions but are also well-versed in adapting to weather patterns like the Meltemi winds. Safety is always the top priority, allowing you to enjoy the thrill of sailing with complete peace of mind.

Yes. All charters in Greece are subject to VAT, which varies based on charter length. You’ll also pay an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) to cover fuel, food and marina fees.
