Posted by John Smith on August 8th, 2019

The example used here is the famous sailing on the Greek islands - a dream of many, which for years was indeed too expensive to consider possible.

Let's not say it's a cheap thing to do, but you can show here that it's much cheaper than most people realize. This article also focuses on the idea of a Sailing yacht charter Greece or rent of the unmanned sailboat only, considering that at least one crew member is Skipper level. Sail in Greece for a family.

Why sail in Greece?

Many factors make Greece one of the best places for leisure sailing in Europe:

•    One of the cheapest countries in Europe for tourism in general
•    Good temperatures most of the year.
•    Excellent food for all tastes.
•    Good charter cost and excellent rental boats.
•    Good free docking options.
•    Public berths at very low prices.
•    The Mediterranean Sea, clean and virtually free of effects from seas/currents.
•    Fantastic islands with unique attractions.

As a short introduction, the sailing "season" in Greece takes place from mid-April to late October, coinciding with the hottest months of the year.

The season is always marked by a very bad low-pressure front that lasts a few days even a week and spoils the sailors' plans a bit due to bad weather. Luckily, the region is very well monitored and documented, giving you an idea of how much will happen in advance.

Background:

The main secret and one of the most influential factors in discounts for renting a Boat charter in Greece is the advance.

To give you an idea, a boat can usually get 20-60% off if requested 5-10 months before the trip happens. There are even greater discounts for bookings made more than one year in advance.

Following is the same principle as large corporate cruise ships. As a rule, most charter companies have a program offering early bird discounts: people looking for sailboats 6 months in advance who don't want to pay much for rent.
