Boat rental in Greece

One of the advantages of sailing with Sailwiz is that you don't have to charter an entire boat to enjoy a sailing holiday in Greece . The booking method depends on your individual experience and travel preferences.

Whether you're traveling solo or as a couple, you can find experiences where you book a single berth or a cabin on a shared boat. This is an attractive option for those who want to explore Greece by boat without the full cost of the ship, while also meeting other travelers along the way.

If you're traveling with a group of friends or family, you can also find entire boats for rent in Greece . In this case, the vessel is for your group, and you can enjoy greater privacy while sailing.

There are also experiences where you can choose between different options. Therefore, before booking, it's a good idea to check if the activity is offered by the number of berths, cabins, or as a whole boat, and what services are included in each option. Discover our boat holidays in Greece!

Renting a boat in Greece allows you to plan a tailor-made vacation and explore several islands in a single trip. At Sailwiz, you can find boat rentals in Greece with a skipper , a particularly attractive option if you lack experience sailing or simply want to relax and enjoy your holiday.

The skipper handles the navigation and knows the area well, so they can help you adapt the route to the sea conditions and your preferences. Depending on the boat and the activity, you can sail around different islands, anchor in coves, visit small coastal towns, and decide with the skipper how to make the most of each day.

In the current offer you will find, for example, sailboat rentals in Corfu and Gouvia , options from Athens and Alimos , catamarans from Lavrio , charters in Lefkada and private experiences in Mykonos and Zante .

Renting a sailboat in Greece is one of the best ways to explore the islands at your own pace. At Sailwiz, you'll find both entire boats and experiences where you can book individual berths, depending on the activity.

The selection covers different areas of the country. You can find sailboats in Corfu and the Ionian Islands , sailing trips from Athens through the Saronic Gulf or the Cyclades, and options in other parts of the Aegean. There are options for groups who want exclusive use of the boat, as well as multi-day skippered trips where you share the sailing with other travelers.

For example, available activities include seven-day rentals from Corfu, sailing trips from Alimos, and weekly charters from Lefkada. Prices and included services vary depending on the boat, date, route, and whether a skipper is included, so it's advisable to review the specific terms and conditions of each experience before booking.

If you're looking for more space and stability on board, renting a catamaran in Greece is a particularly interesting alternative for families and groups of friends.

Sailwiz offers catamarans for various types of trips, from weekly rentals to skippered experiences. Currently, for example, you can find a weekly catamaran trip from Corfu to Preveza , as well as other options from Lavrio and Athens.

In addition to offering a larger exterior area than many monohull sailboats, catamarans allow you to enjoy spacious common areas and anchor in shallower waters. Some available experiences include a skipper, while others operate as a charter of the entire boat, so it's important to check the specific terms of each listing.

Greece has thousands of islands and different sailing areas, so the place you embark from will greatly influence the type of trip you can take.

Among the options available on Sailwiz you will find departures from different points in the country:

• Corfu and the Ionian Islands are a great option if you want to sail around western Greece and discover places like Paxos, Antipaxos, Lefkada, Kefalonia, or Ithaca. It's a particularly interesting area for combining sailing, coves, and small coastal villages.
• Athens and Alimos offer easy access to various routes in the Aegean Sea. From this area, you can find excursions to the Saronic Islands and also routes that venture into the Cyclades.
• Lefkada is another common starting point for a cruise around the Ionian Islands. From there you can visit islands such as Meganisi, Kefalonia, Ithaca, Kastos, or Kalamos, depending on the itinerary.

You'll also find activities departing from Lavrio, Mykonos, or Zante, so you can choose your departure port depending on the area of Greece you want to explore.

Choosing one area over another is one of the most important decisions when planning a sailing holiday in Greece. Each region offers a different landscape and sailing experience.

The Ionian Islands , in the west of the country, are known for their turquoise waters, sheltered coves, and verdant landscapes. Among the available routes are tours to Corfu, Paxos, Antipaxos, Lefkada, Meganisi, Kefalonia, and Ithaca. The Cyclades , in the Aegean Sea, are a very attractive option if you want to explore some of Greece's most famous islands. Depending on the route, you can sail between destinations such as Mykonos, Paros, Milos, Syros, Sifnos, or Serifos. The Saronic Islands , near Athens, allow you to combine sailing with visits to islands like Poros, Hydra, or Spetses without having to travel to the more remote areas of the country.

There are also experiences available in other areas, such as the Sporades, the Dodecanese, or the Peloponnese. The best choice will depend on the number of days you have and which islands you want to visit.

The price of renting a boat in Greece depends on several factors, so there is no single rate. The type and size of the vessel, the duration of the trip, the season, the number of people, and the included services can significantly affect the price.

Furthermore, booking a berth or cabin is not the same as chartering an entire boat . If you're traveling alone or as a couple, booking just your berth can allow you to enjoy a sailing experience for a much lower price than renting the whole vessel.

On the other hand, when you travel with a group, it can be interesting to compare the price of the entire ship and divide it among all the passengers.
You should also check what each activity includes. Some experiences include a skipper, fuel, moorings, cleaning, meals, or water activities, while others have an additional cost for certain services.

That's why at Sailwiz you can check the price of each experience and speak directly with the skipper before booking if you have any questions about what's included.

What's included in the rental depends on the specific boat and experience level. Not all activities have the same conditions, so it's important to check the details before booking.

Depending on the experience, you can find services such as skipper, fuel, moorings, cleaning, bedding, meals on board, snorkeling equipment, paddle surfing or auxiliary boat.

There are also differences between renting an entire boat and booking a berth or cabin as part of an organized trip. In shared experiences, certain services are included in the activity and are specified beforehand in the listing.

All this information is available on each activity's information sheet. If anything is unclear, you can contact the employer directly before making a decision.

Thanks to Sailwiz, you don't need to travel with a large group to enjoy a boat trip in Greece. At Sailwiz, you can choose different ways to participate in a sailing experience depending on the number of people in your group and the type of trip you want to take.

If you're traveling solo, you can book a spot on a shared experience and meet other travelers while sailing. It's a way to explore the islands without having to organize a group, sharing the experience with others who also want to discover Greece from the sea.

If you're traveling as a couple, you can look for a cabin on a shared ship, or if you prefer privacy, check out the full ship options.
For families and groups of friends, there are sailboats, catamarans, and other complete boat rentals available. By splitting the cost among the passengers, this option can make a lot of sense when there are several of you.

And if you're unsure which option best suits you, you can ask the skipper of each activity directly. They'll be familiar with the boat, the route, and the trip details, and can help answer your questions before you book.

Each Sailwiz experience is linked to a skipper who knows the boat and the proposed route. Before booking, you can contact them directly to answer any questions and learn more about the experience.

You can ask about the boat, the type of sailing you'll be doing, the places you'll typically visit, what services are included, or if the route can be tailored to your preferences. They can also advise you on whether the experience is suitable for couples, children, friends, or even solo travelers.

In Greece, wind and sea conditions can also necessitate changes to the itinerary. Therefore, getting the opinion of someone familiar with the area is especially helpful for choosing an experience and understanding what the trip will truly be like.

Tell the skipper what you're looking for and let him help you find the best way to sail around Greece.
