Bareboat charter means you hire the yacht "naked"—without any crew or captain. To qualify for a bareboat charter in Greece or Europe, at least one crew member must hold a recognized international skipper license (like the Israeli Skipper License / มשיט 30) alongside proven sailing experience. If you do not hold a license, or simply want a stress-free holiday without the operational liability of a 45-foot vessel, we provide dedicated, highly qualified local skippers or Israeli skippers to manage your route, weather routing, and safety for the entire week.
A yacht charter is a contractual rental of a sailing vessel (Catamaran or Monohull) for a specific period, traditionally operating on a strict Saturday-to-Saturday weekly cycle in Europe and the Mediterranean. While automated online search engines operate like generic supermarkets, booking through a specialized boutique brokerage ensures you receive verified vessels, optimized seasonal pricing, and active local support from commercial skippers who know the history of each fleet manager.
This choice depends entirely on your crew's lifestyle preferences and holiday goals.Choose a Monohull if you are a traditional sailing enthusiast who loves the thrill of monohull performance, trimming sails, and heeling into the wind. Monohulls are highly cost-effective, with prices ranging from €2,000 to €5,000 per week.Choose a Catamaran (such as a Lagoon 42 or Lagoon 50) if your priority is luxury, stability, and space. Catamarans feature a wide cockpit, an open saloon on sea level, exceptional stability at anchor (eliminating rolling motion), and a shallow draft that allows you to anchor deep inside secluded lagoons. Catamaran charters typically range from €5,000 to €12,000+ per week, split among the crew.
There is a wide variety of medications to prevent seasickness, of various types such as Covales (a pill sold only in Greece), Trevamine (a pill), Scopoderm (a pill), scopolamine (a 72-hour patch), etc. Consult with a medical professional or your doctor and take the medication only as prescribed and before sailing.
Yes. If you do not have a proper license or if you prefer a relaxed vacation without the responsibility of a yacht—we will provide you with a qualified skipper. You can get a local skipper who speaks English and the local language or an Israeli skipper who speaks Hebrew for the entire week.
Planning a sailing route depends on a large number of factors such as: the area where you are sailing, the weather, the skill of the skipper, the skill of the crew, marinas/bays, the ability of the sailors to withstand long voyages, and the tourist preferences of the crew.
As a Boutique Yacht Brokerage, we do not operate costly local sailing clubs or maintenance yards, allowing us to eliminate massive overhead costs. We plug directly into global marine reservation systems to pull direct, transparent wholesale charter rates. Our real competitive advantage is our "Skipper Filter"—before you pay a security deposit or transit log fee, every yacht is personally screened by an experienced commercial skipper to filter out poorly maintained boats, protecting your family holiday from mechanical failures.
Transparency is part of our core values. The base charter fee covers the yacht rental, onboard safety equipment, and marine hull insurance. Mandatory local fees paid at the charter base include the Transit Log (port clearances and official paperwork) and End Cleaning. Variable costs to budget for during your sailing trip include Yacht Fuel Consumption (calculated upon checkout based on actual engine hours), marina docking fees (highly economical in Greece), food provisions for the galley, and a refundable Security Deposit held on your credit card during check-in, which is fully released upon the safe return of the vessel.
