The Best Yachting Experience – Late Summer and Spring Charters in Greece

The high season this summer is nearly over but the best is yet to come: Charter vacation on your own private yacht might even be better in the low season, like in September and October – or next year’s spring. One of the perfect cruising areas in low season are the Greek Islands.

The weather conditions in Greece in late summer or early autumn are fantastic, the sea still warm. With temperatures going slightly down it is not too hot, the sun is a bit milder. The islands are still vivid, but after the summer holidays, the atmosphere is much more relaxed. Beaches, villages, tavernas or historic sites are less crowded – and shop or restaurant owners have more time for their clients. Wherever you cruise – the Saronic Gulf, the Cyclades islands or the Ionian Sea –  you will enjoy a perfect yacht charter holiday and great offers at low season charter rates. Even in the most popular destinations like Mykonos or Santorini high season stress is over.

And of course you have the choice between many great charter yachts in Greece which are available in September and October – motor yachts, superyachts and megayachts, crewed catamarans or sailing yachts. The pictures show many popular charter yachts during the Mediterranean Charter Yacht show in Nafplio this spring.

For your charter holidays aboard a luxury yacht in the Balearic Islands, you can now take out a new weather insurance: If stormy weather prevents leaving the port, the costs for “lost” charter days are reimbursed.

The crossing from Mallorca to Ibiza has to be postponed because strong winds and high waves make cruising very uncomfortable, or your charter yacht stays moored in the port of Ibiza during a storm instead of anchoring in the turquoise waters in front of Formentera beach – this port day was not planned in itinerary. There is no guarantee for good weather in any charter contract – even in the high season in the Mediterranean there can be storm, strong wind and high waves. But at least financially, you can now insure “lost” charter days during your dream vacation aboard the luxury charter yacht with crew in the Balearic islands. Mooring costs can also be insured as part of a comfort package.

For example, if it the wind blows with more than 5 Beaufort day and night, or the wave height exceeds two meters, the charter costs (for yacht and crew) will be reimbursed for each affected day. The wind strength or wave height from which the insurance takes effect can be determined individually. So the insurance premium is of course cheaper, if the insurance must pay only from a minimum wind strength of 7 Beaufort. Of course, you can still enjoy the ambience on board your yacht, with the service of the crew, culinary delights, on-board entertainment etc – only that this day of your vacation just lying in the port then has cost you nothing.

Crewed yacht charters in the Balearic Islands can be insured against stormy weather starting from charter prices of 2500 Euro per day or from charter prices of about 20.000 Euro for the whole charter period. The weather insurance must be completed at least 30 days before the start of the charter.

Luxury yacht charters in Lanzarote and Tenerife:

Until recently there were no luxury yachts for crewed charter holidays cruising in the Canary Islands. Now several premium catamarans and a new motor yacht can be rented, based in Lanzarote and Tenerife.

Even if they are a popular sailing area for bareboat sailors, the Canaries so far have not yet developed as cruising area for luxury crewed yacht charters.  But as there is a rather busy holiday season during the European winter months due to the warm climate and the demand is increasing, at least some catamarans have made their home port in winter now in Lanzarote, among them a Sunreef catamaran, a Lagoon 500 and a big Fountaine Pajot cat. All of them have a proven record as great crewed charter catamarans and are looking forward to cruise around Lanzarote. The island offers everything: hidden bays, the national park Timanfanya, picturesque nice yacht harbours like Marina Rubicon,  great beaches like at the Costa de Papagayo, and of course touristic spots with everything tourists are looking for. Art lovers will be happy to enjoy the architecture, monuments or gardens of the famous artist César Manrique. Sailing distance from Lanzarote to Graciosa Island in the North of Lanzarote or to the busy town of Corralejo on Fuerteventura, lying in the South of Lanzarote, is just a short hop.

A luxury motor yacht is now based in the South of Tenerife, offering yacht charter holidays or day trips. There are several yacht harbours in Tenerife, interesting towns like Santa Cruz de Tenerife or Puerto de la Cruz, holiday areas on the coast and small villages in the mountains, or the Teide national park to discover.

Please ask for offers for you crewed charter in the Canary Islands.
