Whatever you want from a Mykonos yacht charter, from its beautiful beaches and excellent food to its vibrant culture, a catamaran charter Mykonos is going to be an unforgettable experience.

The Central Cyclades island of Mykonos has a lot to offer someone on a sailing holiday with lots of excellent sailing destinations within reach. With its own international airport, you can take a direct flight here from many locations in Northern Europe.

Mykonos island is an undoubtably beautiful island with white sandy beaches such as Super Paradise Beach and the seafront around Little Venice among the highlights. For those who seek more than a sandy beach there are several cultural landmarks such as the Panagia Paraportiani church - actually five churches built in the Cyvcladic vernacular on the same spot over the last seven centuries.

As well as the Panagia Paraportiani church you will find many boutiques and restaurants lining Little Venice too. As such there is a mix of attractions for those of different ages, from all night partying to beautiful bays in which to moor, well away from the noise and crowds.

On your Mykonos yacht charter you will likely find your charter yacht in the mid-sized Tourlos Marina, though as well as Tourlos Marina there is the smaller Mikonos Marina with berths capable of taking vessels up to 40m LOA.

From the marina you can set sail to explore nearby island in the Cyclades such as Poros or even Santorini on a longer luxury yacht charter or private boat charter. Perhaps on a private boat charter you can sail as far as the Dodecanese Islands near the coast of Turkey or west into the Saronic Gulf and to explore the Saronic Islands and mainland Greece. On a Mykonos yacht rental all of these sailing destinations are in reach.

Crewed Catamaran Charters from Mykonos

You don’t need to worry about being an experienced sailor or even sailing the boat out of Mykonos with Borrow a Boat! A Mykonos crewed catamaran charter on a motor yacht or sailing catamaran can mean you do as much or as little physically sailing the yacht as you like on your yacht charter holiday.

A skippered yacht charter or will mean that the skipper will be aboard with their own cabin to attend to all your needs. A crewed yacht charter or gulet charter will involve one or two crew on the gulet charter who will cook, sail and make suggestions as to your best destinations on your sailing itinerary. With their local knowledge, even if you’re an experienced sailor you can enjoy a perfect yacht charter holiday.

One of the advantages of a crewed yacht charter sailing vacation is that you can go longer distances from the yacht charter base. The Ionian Islands are within reach on a two week sailing trip, as are most islands on the Aegean Sea.

As to you? You can just enjoy the breezes and views on your luxury yacht charter, or if you fancy learning a bit about sailing, help the skipper or crew to get the boat from A-B.

A Mykonos crewed yacht charter will cost a little more (typically €150 a day for a skipper and €100 per crew member) and it’s the done thing to thank them with a tip at the end of the week.

A bareboat yacht charter holiday will mean that you can take the charter yacht out on your own. Generally for vessels up to 20 metres LOA on a sailing license such as an RYA Day Skipper or ASA 104 Bareboat certificate, you will have total responsibility for the yacht.

You will need to think about your itinerary, victualling, possible secondary ports should a marina be full, as well as issues like weather and mooring fees.

On a bareboat catamaran charter you will be asked to pay for insurance in the form of a security deposit to the charter company on departure or through buying charter insurance before you leave the yacht charter base.

Types of Catamarans Available For Rent Or Charter in Mykonos:

When searching a geographical area on Borrow A Boat you can filter by the below charter yacht types. There is also the option to further filter your searches by price, the number of guests, cabins or bathrooms, what year the catamaran was launched, the boat length and the boat manufacturer.

Types of Catamarans Available:

Sailing Catamaran: Luxury catamarans are stable and spacious type of sailing boat, with quick sailing performance, and and have been gaining in popularity in recent years. Better for larger groups, they have lots of room for water toys, and are big enough for a little privacy. A catamaran charter luxury yacht is easy and comfortable for novices not used to heeling and are loved by families due to their extra space when compared to a monohull sailing yacht. Typically far more luxurious than a sailboat, the larger catamarans have en suite toilets and showers in the cabin as well as ample entertaining space in the saloon and on deck.

Motor Catamaran: These motor yacht catamarans are relatively new but have also been gaining in popularity as the two hulls keep the boat more stable when compared to a monohull. The wider beam of these motor boats also mean more deck space and as they don’t have sails or a mast, they have a lot more space on deck than a sailing catamaran rental or monohull. For a luxury catamaran charter, consider taking a crewed catamaran charter sailing vacation with an experienced skipper.
