If you have ever dreamed of owning a yacht, you are not alone. These luxury boats are often considered the pinnacle of wealth, providing a mansion-like experience on the high seas. Decked out with everything from multiple bedrooms and gourmet kitchens to on-deck swimming pools and helicopter landing pads, a yacht can essentially serve as a home away from home.
A customized experience
Most yacht charters come complete with access to a crew, including a captain, a cleaning staff, and a chef, allowing for a completely customized experience. Rather than relying on a menu, the yacht’s chef can pre-plan meals that fit your mood and sense of taste, no matter where you are going or what you are craving. This kind of sailing holiday can give you a customized experience unavailable anywhere else.

How much money do I have to spend on a yacht?
Prices vary depending on where you are going, the size of the yacht, and the duration of your trip. A week on a smaller yacht or a catamaran may start at around 12,000 EUR, while a larger 100-foot yacht will likely be in the 40,000 EUR to 90,000 EUR range.

The VAT is different from country to country and varies depending on the cruising area. The Greek VAT is currently 12% on top of the charter fee and 9,2% for the commercially registered yachts.
