Prices - Bareboat charters in Halkidiki

Tell us the dates, the area and the kind of boat you want, and we will help you set up a proper bareboat charter that fits your crew. Halkidiki and Lefkas are both brilliant for sailing, but they feel very different on the water, so a few details up front save time and keep the offer honest.

If you are already comfortable handling a yacht, planning routes and docking, bareboat is the most flexible way to explore hidden coves, quiet anchorages and the tavernas you only reach by sea. If you are unsure about experience requirements, ask anyway and we will talk it through — no stress.

Bareboat charter request

Welcome to our Bareboat Charters Request page! We are excited to help you plan your next sailing adventure in Halkidiki or Lefkas in the Ionian Sea. Our bareboat charters are perfect for experienced sailors who want to take full control of their trip. Please fill out the form below to request a bareboat charter and our team will get back to you as soon as possible with availability and pricing options. Thank you for considering our sailing company for your next adventure on the beautiful waters of Halkidiki.

Halkidiki sits in Northern Greece, southeast of Thessaloniki, with three peninsulas reaching into the Aegean. Most bareboat routes here focus on Kassandra and Sithonia, with sheltered bays, short hops and plenty of swim stops. Lefkas is in the Ionian Sea on the west side of Greece, connected to the mainland by a causeway, and it opens up the classic Ionian island-hopping style of sailing with longer passages and very predictable summer patterns.

To get to Halkidiki, most crews fly into Thessaloniki and drive down. Depending on traffic, it is roughly an hour to the first marinas on Kassandra and a little longer for Sithonia. To reach Lefkas, you usually fly to Aktion Preveza airport and drive to Lefkada town and the nearby marinas. If you want an official overview of the area, check the tourism pages for Halkidiki on Visit Greece and Lefkada on Visit Greece.

To give the best possible service at the lowest possible prices, it isn’t practical to publish a fixed bareboat price list online.

This is not a trick — it is simply how charter works in Greece. Prices vary with the exact week, the boat model, age, equipment and even where the boat is positioned at the start. A 4-cabin yacht in peak August is a different world to the same size in early June, and sometimes a newer boat with the right sails ends up better value than an older one that looks cheaper at first glance. Also, some weeks are booked out early, so the best deal is often the one you grab before the rush, not the one you wait for.

Please let us know where and when you plan to bareboat charter, how many cabins you need, whether you want a sailing or motor boat, and how we can contact you. Our staff will get back to you with the best possible offer for your holiday.

Halkidiki on bareboat: what it feels like

Halkidiki is ideal if you like short legs and lots of swimming. The water clarity is often excellent, especially away from busy beaches, and there are many bays where you can drop anchor for lunch and be alone after 18:00 when the day boats head back. In July and August the coastline gets busy near popular beach zones, so we plan nights in calmer spots and keep harbour stops practical.

Winds here are usually manageable but can pick up in the afternoons, and local effects around headlands can surprise crews used only to the Ionian. It isn’t difficult — just pay attention, reef early and don’t leave docking to the last minute. For a quick look at typical conditions, the National Observatory of Athens meteo.gr is a solid reference, but always check the local forecast before you cast off.

Lefkas and the Ionian: easy island rhythm

Lefkas is known for relaxed sailing and a friendly learning curve for crews who have done a few trips and want to build confidence. Summer winds are often steady and not too strong, and the distances between stops are comfortable. That said, popular ports can fill up in peak season, so arriving early matters. If you prefer to keep it simple, we can suggest routes with easy mooring and good shelter.

For general background on the island and geography, Wikipedia’s Lefkada page is a decent starting point; we then tailor the plan to your crew, your pace and your docking skills.

Choosing a sailing yacht or a motor yacht

A sailing yacht is about the journey. It is quieter at anchor, feels more connected to the sea and suits crews who enjoy trimming sails and moving with the wind. A motor yacht is about range and comfort, with more space for day trips and faster hops, but requires more attention to fuel planning and weather windows.

If you are undecided, tell us what kind of holiday you imagine: lazy mornings and long swims, or covering more coastline and visiting more towns. Both work in Halkidiki and Lefkas, but the best choice depends on your group and your budget.

Seasonal tips that affect availability

May and early June are our favourites for calm anchorages and comfortable temperatures. The water is a little cooler but very clean, and you can get better boat options. Late June to August is the busiest period, with the warmest sea and the most nightlife, but also the most competition for the best boats and berths. September is still excellent, with warm water and fewer crowds — often the sweet spot for couples and mixed-age groups.

If your trip is around school holidays or long weekends, ask early. Greek holidays can shift demand: if you are planning around Orthodox Easter, the dates change each year, so check

Practical notes about start points and timing

Charter check-in and check-out depend on the base and the boat, and the exact handover time can change with cleaning schedules and the previous charter. We will confirm everything clearly before you travel, and we will help you plan the first and last day so you are not rushing.

Timetables, opening hours and routes can change without notice. Always double-check locally before you travel.

Safety and responsibility on bareboat

Bareboat is freedom, but it also means you are the skipper in charge. Know your limits, reef early, keep a good anchor watch and do not press on into bad weather just to keep a plan. If you wish, we can suggest conservative routes with safe harbours and good shelter options for each day.

Sea and outdoor activities depend on the weather and your own fitness level. Always follow local safety advice and skipper instructions.

Local help, real people

We are not a call centre. We are on the water, we know the bays and we know what changes from week to week. Tell us your crew style and we can suggest an itinerary that actually works, not a postcard plan that falls apart on day two.

Our local team of skippers, travel agents and scuba instructors with over 20 years of experience in Halkidiki is here to help you.

Extras you might want to request

Some extras make a big difference, especially for families and groups. If any of these matter, mention them in your request so we can check availability on the right boats.

Wi-Fi and music system for longer stays at anchor
SUP or sea scooter for kids and snorkelling
Safety net for small children
Early boarding where possible
Provisioning support if you arrive late

Diving and snorkelling in Halkidiki

If your crew loves sea life, Halkidiki is excellent for snorkelling on calm days, especially in rocky coves with clear water. For organised diving and local know-how, take a look at portoscuba.com and we can plan a route that makes it easy to combine sailing with a dive day, depending on weather and schedules.
