Why charter a catamaran in Greece
Greece's island geography makes it exceptional catamaran territory. Short passages, protected anchorages, and long warm evenings in picturesque harbors are exactly what catamarans are designed for.
Best catamaran routes
The Ionian Islands are the best catamaran circuit for most groups — lighter winds than the Aegean and spectacularly beautiful anchorages. The Cyclades in May/June or September are equally rewarding when the meltemi hasn't built to summer intensity.
Pricing for 2026
A 42–45ft bareboat catamaran typically costs $4,200–$7,200/week. Premium 48–50ft cats run $6,600–$10,500 in peak season. Add skipper at $220/day and hostess at $165/day.
Best time to go
May, June, and September: warm enough to swim, winds moderate enough for comfortable sailing, significantly fewer boats in the anchorages.
