Luxury For Less On A Greek Yacht Charter
Greece and its idyllic islands are perfect for a luxury yet affordable yacht charter this summer. A premier cruising destination, Greece boasts stunning landscapes, rich cultural and historical heritage, a delicious gastronomic scene, and plenty of hidden coves and bays perfect for watersports. Whether you cruise the Cyclades, the Dodecanese Islands, or head to the Ionian, a superyacht charter in Greece offers something for everyone.
These unparalleled experiences can also be enjoyed without breaking the bank, as Greece has emerged as one of the more affordable Mediterranean hotspots to visit this summer. And our fleet cruising the Greek Isles provides the highest luxury quality without compromising on quality or service.
A combination of competitive pricing and attractive tax incentives have also made Greece appealing from a cost standpoint; here are a few of the reasons why it is one of the best affordable luxury yachting locations:
Competitive Pricing
The growth of the yacht charter market in Greece has given rise to more competitive rates. Recent legislative changes allowing foreign-flagged vessels to charter in Greek waters have expanded the already impressive fleet available for bookings.
With more and more yachts coming, this is driving the industry to offer more discounts, deals and flexible pricing structures. There are some great deals to be had, and our recent article selects some of our best yachts to charter in Greece for under €50K. Whether you are looking for a modern motor yacht, a classic or contemporary sailing yacht, or even a catamaran, we offer a selection of impressive charter yachts to suit all needs.
Reduced VAT Rates
One important consideration when it comes to the cost of a luxury superyacht charter is the added costs. On top of the base charter rate, you will also need to pay APA and VAT. The VAT rate is country-dependent, and one reason why Greece is an affordable charter ground is because of its significantly reduced VAT rates compared to many other Mediterranean regions.
Following the impact of the pandemic, Greece lowered its VAT rate from 24% down to just 13% for yacht charters. Even lower VAT rates apply if the chartered yacht has specific Certificate of Compliance (CoC) factors to consider; a VAT rate can even be as low as 5.2%.
More For Your Money
Combining these competitive pricing models and the reduced VAT rates results in exceptional value for money. Budget flexibility can enable you to book a larger yacht or extend the duration of your charter. You can also look into extras that may not be possible when chartering in other destinations due to the costly additional fees.
Explore Multiple Destinations
Another unique advantage when it comes to pricing when chartering in Greece is the ease of being able to cruise multiple locations and only having one VAT rate applicable. Each day, you can cruise to a new island, from the iconic anchorages of Santorini and Mykonos to the more off-the-beaten-path islands such as Milos and Kea.
The flexibility and ease of a yacht charter itinerary allow you to spend as many or as few days in each location as possible. Our expert charter consultants can create the ultimate bespoke itinerary for you and your guests, creating an unforgettable yachting vacation. There is plenty to do across Greece, from island hopping between ancient ruins, luxury beach clubs, and quaint fishing villages to exploring vineyards and the best scuba diving spots.
Group Options
If you are traveling to Greece with a larger group, whether family, friends, or corporate groups, a yacht provides the ideal platform. The all-inclusive ease of a yacht charter means you do not have to book separate hotels, resorts, rooms, villas or even restaurants for individuals, and everything can be tailored per the group's needs.
Plenty of yachts in the fleet offer versatile and flexible accommodation options within the staterooms to accommodate for different group configurations.
