Yacht charters Kos - Greece

Yacht charter in Kos - how much does it cost?

One of the most important elements when planning a vacation is finances. To determine how much it costs to rent a yacht in Kos, it is worth taking a closer look at the elements that directly affect the rental price. Belong to them:

• the age of the boat - the more "adult vessel", the cheaper,
• its size - remember that the cost is spread over all crew members,
• date of the cruise - here you have the greatest scope to show off.

Take into account that the sailing season in Greece is very long. This means that if you choose your date wisely, you can make big savings. Here are sample prices:

• at the end of April, a three-cabin yacht costs only 1500-1800 euros,
• in June it will be 2100 - 2500 euros,
• in August 2800-3400 euros,
• in the second half of September — again in the range of 2100-2500 euros.

When you decide to rent a yacht in Kos in the off-season, you will not only get better prices (applies to both rental and stopovers in ports), but also much more pleasant sailing: in May or September the weather will still be very favorable, but there will be no more heat , and at the same time the piston in the ports will be noticeably smaller. No wonder that most sailors - unless they are limited by the school year - choose a yacht charter in Greece in the middle or even low season.

How to charter a yacht in Kos? Requirements

If you decide to charter a yacht in Kos , you must comply with local regulations. Remember that to be able to steer a boat, you must have at least a yacht helmsman's license. In addition, the crew must also include the so-called co-skipper, i.e. the captain's assistant.

Fortunately, such a person does not need any sailing license - all he has to do is declare that he can handle the boat and, if necessary, will be able to drive it to the nearest port. Interestingly, Greek law does not require a radio operator certificate (SCR or LRC).

If you are planning to rent a yacht in Kos , but you do not have a licence, or you have little experience and need help, use the charter option with a skipper. Thanks to this, you will get professional help in guiding the boat, expand your skills, and at the same time you will also get ... a guide. Knowledgeable about the local waters (and attractions), the skipper will take your crew to many interesting places that you will not find in popular books or blogs.
