Location Details

Explore Greece

A crewed catamaran charter in Greece pairs island-hopping in the Aegean and Ionian Seas with the comfort of your own private yacht, captain and chef. Spend your days swimming in quiet coves, wandering whitewashed villages and dining at harbor tavernas, then return each evening to a spacious, stable catamaran that feels like your own floating villa.

Why Charter a Catamaran in Greece

Crewed catamarans are a favorite for families and groups of friends in the Greek islands. Two hulls mean a stable ride, private cabins spread apart for more privacy, and wide-open deck space for sunbathing, dining and swimming. Their shallow draft also lets them anchor closer to beaches and in quiet coves.

  • Sailing catamarans are ideal for a classic Greek island-hopping charter, with easy sailing between nearby islands.
  • Powercats offer catamaran comfort with more speed, so you can cover more islands in a week and spend less time underway.

Every crewed catamaran charter comes with a professional captain and chef, so all you need to do is relax and enjoy the islands.

Local Greece Expertise

Rory Petrilli, a charter broker with Wlms Yacht Charters for 10 years, lives in Greece year-round on the island of Poros in the Saronic Gulf. Her on-the-ground knowledge of the Greek islands, local crews and charter yachts means you get first-hand advice when planning your catamaran charter, from choosing the right yacht to finding the best route for your group.

Sail the Greek Islands

Greece has roughly 6,000 islands and islets, and only 227 of them are inhabited. Their whitewashed villages, quiet coves and harbor tavernas are waiting to be explored. With the Aegean Sea to the east and the Ionian Sea to the west, your catamaran charter options are almost endless:

  • The Cyclades: iconic island-hopping through Mykonos, Paros, Naxos and beyond
  • The Saronic Gulf: short, easy sails from Athens to Hydra, Poros and Aegina
  • The Ionian Islands: green, sheltered cruising around Corfu, Lefkada, Kefalonia and Ithaca

Greece is also home to 21 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the wider area of Mount Olympus, so history is never far from your anchorage.

When to Charter a Catamaran in Greece

Warm, dry summers and pleasant breezes make Greece a top catamaran charter destination from April through October. Greek charter seasons run within a single year, such as the 2027 season. Because the season is shorter than the Caribbean’s, most Greek crewed catamarans have a 7-night minimum. Shorter charters are sometimes possible last-minute or in the shoulder season, in early May and October.

How Greece Catamaran Charter Pricing Works

Pricing in Greece works differently from the all-inclusive Caribbean. A Greek catamaran charter is made up of three parts: Rate + VAT + APA.

  • Charter rate: the weekly rate for the catamaran and crew, paid through Wlms Yacht Charters
  • VAT: Greek value-added tax, which typically ranges from 5.2% to 12% depending on the yacht and its license
  • APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance): typically 20–30% of the charter rate for catamarans. The APA covers fuel, water, food, drinks, licenses and any special requests. Any unused APA is refunded to you at the end of your charter, and if you spend more, the difference is settled aboard.

This is the industry standard for Greece and the Mediterranean. For more details, see our FAQ: Med Terms.

So much to say…..everything was perfect from my 1st contact with Mandy through until we arrived home. She was responsive to all of our questions and helped us choose the right boat for our family. Everything was exactly as she said it would be from the initial booking, making payments, giving her advice on different boats and sending links to help us with the ferry! Mandy was a delight to work with and I would recommend her to everyone!! We arrived in Tortola and we were met by Nick our captain and Jade our chef! They are young. Smart, energetic, fun and aimed to please! They even came along in the waters while we snorkeled and led us to all their favorite spots. We swam with everything in the sea! Jade’s cooking was awesome!! Every meal and snack was well thought out, interesting and delicious!! And I mean delicious!! No wonder she won the culinary award last fall!! Our week with our boys and their wives can be summed up in my Mother’s Day letter that I received a few days after we got home. He said , it wasn’t just the sailing , the boat, the waters and the delicious food but I will never forget spending the week with all my favorite people I!! Those words made it all worthwhile and I know we will all never forget it!!

Hi Laura! I am so glad you were able to book Kismet this season with Nick and Jade! They will be amazing on Earnout next season

This was a dream vacation. The boat, C'Est La Vie, could not have been better and the crew was incredible. The food, the cocktails, the toys, the excursions, and just the overall experience was beyond our expectations in every way. This is the ultimate crew on the ultimate boat.

Owner's reply
Hi Amy, I am so happy your family were able to get together for this charter yacht vacation in The BVI. We look forward to working with you in the future for wherever you are interested in chartering next! Cheers Mandy

Happened upon Mavis @ WLMS yacht Charters thru a recommendation, and after providing trip specs, priorities, group demographics and dietary preferences, she provided 4-5 available boats to consider for our trip. Amazing what you can discern reading and re-reading the vibe of each crew and the water toys they emphasize and the boat's features they promote. Given we aspired to dive everyday, be active everyday, as well stay and eat on the boat every night, we filtered the alternatives quickly. Luckily, we found Karma and its crew of Harry & Kristen available for our blissful week of joy and laughter and too many Rum specials and spectacular dives, and impeccable Just so attention and gourmet, i mean Bib Gourmand Michelin style breakfast, lunches, dinners and everything in between. The attention to detail was perfect, never too much when a book and nap were close at hand, but daily schedule highlights, hustle when necessary and just a refined level of engagement and enjoyment in what the crew was providing. it was the most impressive 24/7 service, while not being intrusive, which is a delicate task on a 50 foot yacht.I know i'm forgetting so much, but i just wanted to highly recommend Mavis for her help getting started with the daunting process, but also to Harry & Kristen for going above and beyond and making our special trip as wonderful as they did

Owner's reply
Thanks Ted! We are so happy you ended up booking Karma with us, hope you have a great rest of your spring!

Four female friends (ages 60+) chartered the Sandy Cinco in early April, 2026. One of us had cruised the BVI on two prior boats, and this one was by far the best! The boat is spacious, clean, and very well managed. The upper deck is a game changer (most don’t have this). The Captain, Mike, is an excellent sailor, and he went out of the way to show us places in the BVI that no others ever took us. He knows all the best mooring places. Lizzy’s cooking was excellent in flavor and presentation. We ate like Queens! We felt at home as soon as we stepped on the boat. They paid careful attention to our Preferences forms and gave us exactly what we were looking for. On top of all that, we were blessed with fantastic weather the entire time. And, when we went onshore, Mike and Lizzy were well known to the locals, who would literally welcome us with hugs. If you plan to charter for four to eight people, USE THIS BOAT AND CREW! You won’t regret anything. In fact, we hope to return in another year or two and won’t consider any other team or boat. Kudo’s to Mandy Walker, our broker, who helped match us to this boat and helped with logistics.

Owner's reply
Thank you Leigh! I am so glad you had a wonderful charter with Mike and Lizzy on Sandy Cinco! Mike and Lizzy really enjoyed their time with you as well! I look forward to working with you in the future whenever you are ready.

As first time clients, our experience was exceptional from the guidance we received in booking our charter with Mandy to the accommodations on board Southern Charm. Mandy ensured all of our travel needs were met and was with us every step of the way, setting up transportation as well as recommending pre and post charter lodging. She asked questions and listened to our requirements, recommending the perfect match for our charter aboard Southern Charm. Once aboard, it was obvious that the owners/crew had worked diligently to give us the very best experience possible. Every delicious meal was prepared exquisitely, every destination was postcard of beauty, and every activity was filled with fun and adventure. We will be talking out this trip for many years to come.

Hi Teri, Thank you for booking with us. You guys were a wonderful group to work with and Southern Charm (Kevin and Elizabeth) loved having you onboard as well! Look forward to working with you in the future!

This was our second trip using Mandy, and of course, everything was perfect! It was for my 50th birthday with our closest friends, and it could not have been better. The boat (On A Whim) and crew were nothing short of amazing, and Mandy did such a good job pairing us with them. Our captain, Alex, and first mate, Renee, made our week with them more memorable than we could have ever expected! Please reach out to Mandy if are looking for someone to create an unforgettable vacation for you.

Just returned from the most amazing family yacht charter in the British Virgin Islands aboard the stunning Wanderlust — and wow, what a trip! Charne and Dean are the absolute best crew! From the phenomenal food prepared by the best crew ever, to snorkeling with sea life , zooming through the water on underwater sea scooters , every moment was magic. We explored islands and hidden caves, watched breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, and even got massages on a floating spa boat! We made unforgettable memories—from beach motes (beach buggies ) in Anegada to jumping off the plank at Willie T’s and sipping painkillers at the iconic Soggy Dollar. Nights were filled with card games, laughter, and family bonding under the stars. Huge thanks to the incredible crew of Wanderlust who made this journey so special. Truly a trip of a lifetime ! Thank you Mandy for helping us put this together ! Wanderlust and the crew , Charne and Dean were absolutely amazing !

Owner's reply
Hi Betsy! Thankyou for taking the time to post a review of Wanderlust-I will share with Dean and Charne. Look forward to catching up and working with you in the future. I'm so glad you got to experience The BVI with your family! Cheers Mandy

So much to say…..everything was perfect from my 1st contact with Mandy through until we arrived home. She was responsive to all of our questions and helped us choose the right boat for our family. Everything was exactly as she said it would be from the initial booking, making payments, giving her advice on different boats and sending links to help us with the ferry! Mandy was a delight to work with and I would recommend her to everyone!! We arrived in Tortola and we were met by Nick our captain and Jade our chef! They are young. Smart, energetic, fun and aimed to please! They even came along in the waters while we snorkeled and led us to all their favorite spots. We swam with everything in the sea! Jade’s cooking was awesome!! Every meal and snack was well thought out, interesting and delicious!! And I mean delicious!! No wonder she won the culinary award last fall!! Our week with our boys and their wives can be summed up in my Mother’s Day letter that I received a few days after we got home. He said , it wasn’t just the sailing , the boat, the waters and the delicious food but I will never forget spending the week with all my favorite people I!! Those words made it all worthwhile and I know we will all never forget it!!

This was a dream vacation. The boat, C'Est La Vie, could not have been better and the crew was incredible. The food, the cocktails, the toys, the excursions, and just the overall experience was beyond our expectations in every way. This is the ultimate crew on the ultimate boat.

Owner's reply
Hi Amy, I am so happy your family were able to get together for this charter yacht vacation in The BVI. We look forward to working with you in the future for wherever you are interested in chartering next! Cheers Mandy

Happened upon Mavis @ WLMS yacht Charters thru a recommendation, and after providing trip specs, priorities, group demographics and dietary preferences, she provided 4-5 available boats to consider for our trip. Amazing what you can discern reading and re-reading the vibe of each crew and the water toys they emphasize and the boat's features they promote. Given we aspired to dive everyday, be active everyday, as well stay and eat on the boat every night, we filtered the alternatives quickly. Luckily, we found Karma and its crew of Harry & Kristen available for our blissful week of joy and laughter and too many Rum specials and spectacular dives, and impeccable Just so attention and gourmet, i mean Bib Gourmand Michelin style breakfast, lunches, dinners and everything in between. The attention to detail was perfect, never too much when a book and nap were close at hand, but daily schedule highlights, hustle when necessary and just a refined level of engagement and enjoyment in what the crew was providing. it was the most impressive 24/7 service, while not being intrusive, which is a delicate task on a 50 foot yacht.I know i'm forgetting so much, but i just wanted to highly recommend Mavis for her help getting started with the daunting process, but also to Harry & Kristen for going above and beyond and making our special trip as wonderful as they did

Owner's reply
Thanks Ted! We are so happy you ended up booking Karma with us, hope you have a great rest of your spring!

Four female friends (ages 60+) chartered the Sandy Cinco in early April, 2026. One of us had cruised the BVI on two prior boats, and this one was by far the best! The boat is spacious, clean, and very well managed. The upper deck is a game changer (most don’t have this). The Captain, Mike, is an excellent sailor, and he went out of the way to show us places in the BVI that no others ever took us. He knows all the best mooring places. Lizzy’s cooking was excellent in flavor and presentation. We ate like Queens! We felt at home as soon as we stepped on the boat. They paid careful attention to our Preferences forms and gave us exactly what we were looking for. On top of all that, we were blessed with fantastic weather the entire time. And, when we went onshore, Mike and Lizzy were well known to the locals, who would literally welcome us with hugs. If you plan to charter for four to eight people, USE THIS BOAT AND CREW! You won’t regret anything. In fact, we hope to return in another year or two and won’t consider any other team or boat. Kudo’s to Mandy Walker, our broker, who helped match us to this boat and helped with logistics.

Thank you Leigh! I am so glad you had a wonderful charter with Mike and Lizzy on Sandy Cinco! Mike and Lizzy really enjoyed their time with you as well! I look forward to working with you in the future whenever you are ready.

We had an amazing experience from start to finish with WLMS charters throughout the booking process as well as on the charter we did with the Colibiri crew -they were the ultimate hosts and crew which made our 50th birthday trip an experience we will never forget. We are already planning to return with our teenagers! Thank you to Graham, Kristiann and Matilda for being so gracious and fun to be around - the food and drinks were also amazing! Pete and Stacy Haubenschild

Thanks Pete! So glad Stacy had a great birthday celebration and look forward to working with you in the future!

As first time clients, our experience was exceptional from the guidance we received in booking our charter with Mandy to the accommodations on board Southern Charm. Mandy ensured all of our travel needs were met and was with us every step of the way, setting up transportation as well as recommending pre and post charter lodging. She asked questions and listened to our requirements, recommending the perfect match for our charter aboard Southern Charm. Once aboard, it was obvious that the owners/crew had worked diligently to give us the very best experience possible. Every delicious meal was prepared exquisitely, every destination was postcard of beauty, and every activity was filled with fun and adventure. We will be talking out this trip for many years to come.

Owner's reply
Hi Teri, Thank you for booking with us. You guys were a wonderful group to work with and Southern Charm (Kevin and Elizabeth) loved having you onboard as well! Look forward to working with you in the future!

This was our second trip using Mandy, and of course, everything was perfect! It was for my 50th birthday with our closest friends, and it could not have been better. The boat (On A Whim) and crew were nothing short of amazing, and Mandy did such a good job pairing us with them. Our captain, Alex, and first mate, Renee, made our week with them more memorable than we could have ever expected! Please reach out to Mandy if are looking for someone to create an unforgettable vacation for you.

Owner's reply
Hi Kelly! So glad On A Whim delivered a wonderful trip for your 50th birthday!!!!

Just returned from the most amazing family yacht charter in the British Virgin Islands aboard the stunning Wanderlust — and wow, what a trip! Charne and Dean are the absolute best crew! From the phenomenal food prepared by the best crew ever, to snorkeling with sea life , zooming through the water on underwater sea scooters , every moment was magic. We explored islands and hidden caves, watched breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, and even got massages on a floating spa boat! We made unforgettable memories—from beach motes (beach buggies ) in Anegada to jumping off the plank at Willie T’s and sipping painkillers at the iconic Soggy Dollar. Nights were filled with card games, laughter, and family bonding under the stars. Huge thanks to the incredible crew of Wanderlust who made this journey so special. Truly a trip of a lifetime ! Thank you Mandy for helping us put this together ! Wanderlust and the crew , Charne and Dean were absolutely amazing !

Owner's reply
