Sailing can be a relaxing cruise along beautiful coasts, anchoring in quiet coves along the way. It can also be exciting fun in fast dinghies, splashing through the waves, enjoying the refreshing spray. Your choice.
Enjoy chartering a sailing yacht and travelling to various coastal or island destinations around Greece. This is a great holiday activity, but it also can be a corporate event. There are mainly two types of charter:
Dinghy Sailing
This is the real sailing watersport, full of action and excitement. Small boat sailing can be either competitive, as in collegiate dinghy racing, or purely recreational as when sailing on a lake with family or friends.
Flotilla Sailing
Think of it as a carefree holiday in style, where you sail your charter yacht at a leisurely pace, enjoying the company of other flotilla guests and the support and guidance of a professionally crewed flotilla lead yacht.
Bareboat Charters
You rent a boat and skipper it yourself. Most bareboat companies also offer courses to teach basic seamanship and prepare people for bareboat chartering. These companies also sometimes provide skippered charters, meaning that boat comes with a skipper but no additional crew.
While living on a yacht, you can combine sailing with many other sports like swimming, scuba diving, windsurfing, beach running and many more.
How much does it cost?
Several factors determine the cost of a charter, including the size of the yacht, its age, its pedigree, the number of crew, and the destination. The worldwide range of charter prices (per person per week) is estimated to run from €1000 up to and in excess of €10,000 for very large yachts.
