How much does a yacht charter in Kefalonia cost?

The sailing season in Greece is quite long, so when planning a yacht charter in Kefalonia, you have a number of options to choose from. Of course, boat rental prices will vary depending on the weather and sailing conditions.

However, remember that everything has its advantages: choosing a date in the middle of the holiday will pay more for rent, but you will be sure that the weather will be perfect and all local attractions are available. On the other hand, by choosing a yacht charter in Kefalonia in the off-season, you will save a lot of money and avoid the crowds in the marinas. To help you make the right decision, we have prepared some examples showing the distribution of prices in different periods:

• in May, a two-year Bavaria Cruiser 41 for 6 people costs 2,700 euros per week,
• in June the same yacht costs 3000 euros,
• in August - 3,800 euros,
• and in September - 3,300 euros per week.

Sailing license required in Kefalonia

It is worth knowing that when planning a yacht charter in Kefalonia, you must have a yacht helmsman license. However, there is no obligation to hold a radio operator's certificate (SRC, LRC)1. It is also necessary to take into account the fact that, according to Greek law, the crew should still have the so-called co-skipper, i.e. the deputy captain. The person performing this function does not need to have any sailing licences; it is enough for them to declare that they will escort your yacht to the nearest port if necessary.

If you want to rent a yacht in Catalonia, but no one in your crew has a yacht helmsman license, you can choose the option of chartering with a skipper. To find it, just select the appropriate option in our search engine. We will organize the right person for you and help you arrange the details.
