Bareboat Yacht Charter in Greece

We recommend the skipper holds an International Certificate of Competence (ICC), or the RYA Day Skipper practical, as a minimum, and larger yachts may need RYA Coastal Skipper or higher. In Greece, a résumé of your sailing experience is generally not accepted instead of a qualification. Take your original certificates with you, and check with us before you book. Our General Information page has the full details.

Sailing conditions are generally more moderate in the Ionian and the Saronic Gulf, where we have bases on Corfu, Lefkas, Kefalonia and Poros, plus our Saronic base. The Dodecanese and the Sporades can be more challenging, so formal qualifications and more sailing experience are usually needed there.

A fully equipped charter yacht for the length of your charter and the services of Seafarer representatives or our local agents. If you sail within a Seafarer flotilla area, you also get our cruise notes and the option to join the flotilla for a day (longer at a supplement). Charter rates are per boat, per week, and do not include flights or transfers, which we can arrange for you. Fuel is not included: you receive the yacht with a full tank of diesel and return it full. End cleaning is usually payable locally, unless your confirmation says otherwise.

Yes. All our yachts are comprehensively insured, and a refundable security deposit covers the insurance excess. It is collected before departure or on arrival. At most bases you can instead pay an optional damage waiver premium (LRP or YDW): in the Ionian and the Saronic Gulf it reduces your liability to zero, and elsewhere to €500. The amount depends on the yacht and the base, and we confirm it when you book.

You can usually board your yacht at or shortly after 18:00 on your first day, with a full tank of fuel, water, gas and bed linen on board (towels are not generally provided). On your last day, you leave the yacht at 09:00.

You can learn first at our RYA training centre in Greece on Kefalonia. Or choose a Greek flotilla, where our lead crew support you all week, or book a skippered flotilla and sail with a professional skipper.
