On Board & Practical Tips
How much do marinas cost?
Prices vary; catamarans are often surcharged — budget for overnight berths.
Theft risk on busy quays?
Lock the dinghy; stay aware on crowded quays.
What happens if the yacht breaks down?
Contact the operator; SEARADAR support is available per your contract.
Corporate charters in Athens?
Catamarans and crewed yachts are ideal for corporate events — book peak dates early.
Can I drink tap water on board?
Bottled water is common practice for drinking on Greek charter yachts.
VHF channel 16 — what do I need to know?
Keep watch on ch 16 and know the distress call procedure.
How to manage water consumption on board?
The Greek summer heat is intense — top up tanks whenever possible at marina stops.
Will the operator ask for my sailing CV?
Often yes — be honest about your experience; add a skipper if you have any doubts.
What to pack for a Greek yacht charter?
Non-slip shoes, light waterproof jacket, sun hat, quick-dry layers, and modest clothes for monastery visits if routing inland.
