Captained Yacht Charter - Greek Islands Sailing Cruises

The most usual way to have a sailing holiday in Greece is to charter a bareboat yacht. This means that the charterer pays for provisions, water, fuel, mooring fees, end cleaning and must leave a damage deposit. If you don't have a qualified yacht captain in your group, then you hire a local one at around 140 euros per day plus food & tip.

The more up-market option is a fully crewed yacht charter sailing holiday. This is where you and your guests are treated like VIPs on a more expensive yacht and the crew cater to your every whim and desire. This is typically the most expensive option.

So where does Captained Yacht Charter fit?

Captained Yacht Charter lies between bareboat with rent-a-skipper and the traditional fully crewed luxury yacht charter.

A Captained Yacht Charter has the following characteristics & benefits that make it an attractive choice:

• Once you board the yacht, that's it— it's all paid for! No extra charges for items needed on a quality sailing holiday.
• You are not required to leave a security damage deposit.
• You are not required to pay for the Captain's food and drink.
• There is no hassle or wasted time for the 'Check In' or "Check Out' process, unlike a bareboat charter.
• All provisions for the cruise have already been purchased and stowed ready for departure.
• All official paper has been taken care of in advance.
• As soon as you board your yacht you are able to leave the dock within an hour of arrival.
• At the end of the charter you can leave immediately - no departure procedures.
• The sailing environment is never stressful and always easy-going, relaxing and fun thanks to your expert and friendly captain!
• It is not neccessary to have any sailing experience.
• For those interested, you have the opportunity to learn how to sail via the captain's example,guidance and help.
