A yacht charter in Mykonos is the ultimate way to experience the Greek islands. Whether you want to cruise to the sacred island of Delos, anchor at hidden coves, or throw the party of a lifetime on turquoise waters, chartering a yacht transforms your Mykonos holiday into something truly extraordinary.
This comprehensive guide from Apex Exclusive Services covers everything you need to know about yacht charters in Mykonos for 2026.
Types of Yachts Available in Mykonos
Motor Yachts
The most popular choice for Mykonos charters. Motor yachts offer speed, luxury, and stability. Ranging from sleek 40-foot day cruisers to magnificent 150-foot superyachts, motor yachts let you cover more ground and visit multiple islands in a single day. Onboard amenities typically include air-conditioned salons, sun decks, water toys, and professional crew.
Sailing Yachts
For purists who love the romance of wind-powered travel, sailing yachts offer an authentic maritime experience. The Cycladic winds (the famous Meltemi) provide excellent sailing conditions from June through September. Sailing yachts range from classic wooden gullets to modern performance catamarans.
Catamarans
Combining stability with spacious deck areas, catamarans are ideal for families and groups who want comfort without sacrificing the sailing experience. Their shallow draft allows access to beaches and coves that deeper-hulled vessels cannot reach.
Superyachts
For the ultimate statement, superyachts over 80 feet offer floating luxury that rivals the finest hotels. Multiple deck levels, Jacuzzis, cinema rooms, professional chefs, and full water toy arsenals make superyachts the pinnacle of Mykonos maritime luxury.
Best Yacht Routes from Mykonos
Delos and Rhenia (Half Day)
The most iconic route. Visit the UNESCO World Heritage site of Delos — birthplace of Apollo — then anchor at Rhenia’s pristine bay for swimming and a gourmet lunch prepared by your onboard chef. This route takes 4-6 hours and is perfect for a morning or afternoon excursion.
South Coast Beaches (Full Day)
Cruise along Mykonos’ stunning south coast, stopping at Psarou, Platis Gialos, Paraga, Paradise, and Super Paradise beaches. Anchor offshore and tender in, or simply enjoy the views from your deck with champagne in hand.
Cyclades Island Hopping (Multi-Day)
Extend your charter to visit neighboring islands: Tinos (gastronomy and culture), Syros (neoclassical elegance), Naxos (beaches and history), or Paros and Antiparos (bohemian charm). A 3-7 day island hopping charter is one of the most rewarding experiences in the Mediterranean.
Mykonos to Santorini
The dream route. Combine two of Greece’s most iconic islands in one journey. Sail south through the Cyclades, stopping at Small Cyclades islands along the way, before arriving at Santorini’s dramatic caldera. Allow 2-3 days minimum for this route.
