Cabin charter sailing holidays in Greece

Join a cabin yacht charter and enjoy sailing, making new friends and experiencing the true Greece without the cost of a private bareboat or flotilla yacht charter.

You can book a berth or a cabin, travel alone or as a small party, whatever suits you.

Cabin charter sailing holidays

Cabin charter is an excellent option for singles or couples who would like to enjoy the experience of a skippered charter and making new friends, but either don’t sail themselves or want a holiday at a more manageable price than a private yacht charter.

You sail under the guidance of a skipper who is responsible for the yacht and your safety. Cabin charter is excellent if you want to enjoy the sun, not worry about managing the yacht, but are interested in ‘helping out’ with the sailing.

Example cabin charter

A week cruise around the beautiful and quiet Argolic Gulf. Although the precise route may alter due to winds and local conditions at the time, we plan to visit:

Example Cabin Charter Cruise
Sat	Arrive in Poros (see ‘Travelling to Greek Sails’)
Sun	Depart Poros to Ermioni, a lovely harbour to the south west of Poros
Mon	Depart Ermioni to Tiros, a delightful small quiet harbour of fishing boats and tavernas
Tue	Depart Tiros to Navplion, with its unmissable old town of neo-classical buildings and the huge Venetian Citadel of the Palamidi above
Wed	Depart Navplion for Plaka (Leonídhion Plaka), considered one of the lovliest places in Greek waters
Thu	Depart Plaka for Hydra, also considered one of the most beautiful ports in Greece with old merchants’ houses nestling around the harbour
Fri	Depart Hydra for your return to Poros and a final evening meal in one of the many tavernas lining the Poros quayside
Sat	Depart Poros to return to the real world

See ‘Sailing in the Argolic Gulf’ and ‘Sailing the eastern Peloponnese’ for further information on the places you should be visiting.

Cabin charter sailing holidays have all the benefits of a skippered yacht; safety & yacht management and the skipper’s sailing experience, familiarity with the yacht and extensive local knowledge, however, you only book a cabin or berth, not charter the entire yacht. The itinerary is flexible and naturally the crew can discuss their preferences, although ultimately the skipper must have the final word based on time, weather and their experience.

The pricing of cabin charter sailing holidays is based on double occupancy of a cabin. The pricing varies according to season. Single occupancy is offered for a 20% discount of the double occupancy price. The sailing holiday price includes skipper’s services, fuel, water, linen and mooring fees.

A kitty system is usually the best option to cover the cost of food and drink eaten aboard and all crew are expected to participate in preparing food although this is usually limited to snacks and light lunches. All crew members are also required to assist in keeping the yacht clean and tidy.

Evening meals are usually eaten ashore although you may cook aboard if you wish. Where you eat is your choice, although it’s worth listening to the skipper’s advice which is always based upon quality, location and value and not on kick backs!
