HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO CHARTER A CATAMARAN IN GREECE

How Much Does It Cost to Charter a Catamaran in Greece?

The cost of chartering a catamaran in Greece typically ranges from around €4,000 to €17,500+ per week for a bareboat catamaran, depending on the yacht, season, size and destination. Fully crewed luxury catamarans are considerably more expensive.

Typical weekly catamaran prices in Greece

The Greek charter market dataset gives an average catamaran price of approximately €7,721 per week, based on more than 800 catamarans, with an average August peak of about €12,313/week.

Current charter price lists also show examples such as Lagoon 42 catamarans around €7,850–€11,500/week during different periods, while newer/larger models can reach substantially higher rates.

Bareboat vs. crewed catamaran

Bareboat catamaran:
You charter the yacht and operate it yourself, provided you meet the required qualifications. This is generally the least expensive option.

Skippered catamaran:
You have a professional skipper onboard, while you and your guests enjoy the yacht. The skipper is normally an additional cost.

Fully crewed catamaran:
A captain, chef and/or hostess take care of navigation, meals and onboard service. Current Greek crewed-catamaran rates start around €17,000 - €18,000/week for smaller sailing catamarans and can reach €90,000/week for large luxury power catamarans.

How much does a catamaran cost per person?

Because a catamaran can accommodate 8 - 12 guests, the price can become quite reasonable when divided between a group.

For example:

€8,000 catamaran ÷ 8 guests = €1,000 per person/week

A €20,000 crewed catamaran  8 guests = €2,500 per person/week, before applicable additional expenses.

One 2026 market dataset puts the average Greek catamaran charter at approximately €723 per person/week, although this is based on the yacht's maximum capacity and therefore should not be interpreted as the actual cost for every guest.

July & August are the most expensive

Peak summer is generally the most expensive period. In the 2026 market data, the average price reaches about €12,313/week during the August peak, compared with approximately €5,651/week at the lowest point of the year.

For better value, consider May, June, September or October. Some 2026 price lists show substantial reductions in September and October compared with July and August.

Additional costs

The advertised catamaran rate may not include everything. Depending on the charter, you may also pay for:

• Skipper
• Crew
• Final cleaning
• Transit log / service pack
• Fuel
• Marina and port fees
• Food and drinks
• VAT
• APA for fully crewed yachts
• Security deposit
• Water toys or additional equipment

For fully crewed catamarans, an APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) can cover expenses such as fuel, food, drinks and dockage; one current Greek charter source indicates approximately 25 - 35% of the base rate for APA.

A realistic budget for 8 guests

For a 7-night Greek catamaran holiday for 8 people, a useful planning guide is:

• €5,000 - €7,000: comfortable bareboat
• €7,000 -  € 12,000  modern/premium catamaran
• €12,000 - €20,000  larger or high-season catamaran
• €18,000 - €30,000+  professionally crewed catamaran
• €30,000 - €90,000+  luxury crewed/power catamaran

So, for your yacht charter website, a strong concise answer would be:

A catamaran charter in Greece typically costs around €4,000 - €17,500+ per week for a bareboat yacht, while a fully crewed catamaran generally starts around €17,000 - €18,000 per week and can exceed €50,000 for larger luxury yachts. Prices depend on yacht size, season, itinerary and level of crew and service.
