Crete Luxury Yacht Charter Vacations

A Crete yacht charter gives you unrivalled coastal access to Greece’s largest island and the fifth largest in the Mediterranean. It lies south of the Aegean Sea and was historically and important link between Africa and Asia. At over 62 miles long, Crete’s coastline consists of both sandy beaches and rocky shores. Most luxury charter yachts and private superyachts visit during July and August when the weather is at its best. Favourite luxury yacht anchorages include Ayia Roumeli, Loutro, Vai and Spinaloga. There’s also a good selection of ports like Ayios Nikolaos, Iraklio and Rethimno.

Crete is well known for its beautiful beaches like Balos Beach, Preveli Beach and Falassama Beach, most of which are in the south of the island. Water sports such as jet skiing and wind surfing are very popular here. Why not arrange an island tour to see the White Mountains, Mount Ida, caves and amazing landscapes?

For yacht charterers who are interested in Greek history, Crete is certainly the place to head for. One of the most popular attractions is the Palace of Knossos, just south of Iraklio. This is a well-preserved palace containing workshops, storerooms, the throne room, banqueting halls and the royal quarters. It dates back to 2000-1350 BC and is a must-visit.

Those holidaymakers who enjoy trekking and walking won’t be disappointed when rambling through Crete’s mountains and hills. Take a walk out of Maleme to the quaint hilltop village of Deres. Here there’s a friendly taverna and a whitewashed church. The Samaria National Park which is accessible by bus has one of the biggest gorges in all of Europe.

If you have children with you on your yacht charter vacation, the Acqua Plus Water Park won’t disappoint them. Less than 20 miles from Heraklion it is split into two sections, one for children and one for adults. The delightful gardens around the water park have many exotic plants and flowers to see with a water slide waiting to be discovered underneath a lovely weeping willow tree. With slides, games and a lazy river, spend the day at this exciting park before returning to your superyacht for a good night’s rest. 

Next day why not visit the Venetian Harbour which is full of charm and grandeur? Your yacht charter captain can arrange anchorage nearby. Alternatively, there’s the CretAquarium that holds over 2,000 different species of marine life. There’s nothing better than a hearty Greek meal so look out for foodie hotspots that are rustic and have amazing menus. Don’t forget to order a bottle of the local wine. All in all Crete is a wonderful destination for a yacht charter holiday.

Tourists reviews

The day was windy which brought very strong seas. The Captain and crew did their best to keep us safe and comfortable; doing their best to provide us the experience that was promised. The trip did not disappoint. Even though the seas were rough, we made it to Dia Island parked in a beautiful bay. We swam for an hour in beautiful blue water. Yummy eats were provided. Along with champagne and drinks! We understand nature cannot be controlled, but the crew still provided a wonderful trip. *On a side note, the crew was very considerate and knowledgeable in ensuring the safety and welfare of their passengers. Due to the choppy waters, passengers were a bit sea sick and the crew were able to get them through it. Can't say enough, how impressed I was with their service!

Our group of 6 took the catamaran day trip from Hersonissos to Dia Island last Saturday. It was a perfect way to escape the heat. We had been concerned that the catamaran would be cramped with 20 people but this wasn’t an issue at all. The staff were friendly and efficient and the whole day ran smoothly. We anchored in a perfect cove for a few hours. The water was turquoise and so clear. Plenty of time to swim, snorkel, paddle board etc. Lunch and drinks are included. My only suggestion would be to put bottles of water on the table for guests to help themselves rather than asking the staff all the time.

The organization, food and staff were excellent. The view was amazing. Perhaps a little more interaction with the staff would have been appreciated, I think that might come with age as most were fairly young and distracted by the cute girls who seemed to be part of the crew.

Oct. 4, 2023

Had a great time on this excursion! We met at the cafe and got checked in then headed to the catamaran and had coffee and pastries and began our sail. On the way out we learned some interesting facts and drank white wine and had snacks. Once we arrived to the spot to snorkel, the water was so clear and beautiful. After swimming, we ate an amazing lunch that was prepared on the catamaran and then sailed back. Overall, the staff was great and we had a fun time with the other guests.

Oct. 3, 2023

Thank you very much DanEri for the wonderful excursion on Catamaran around Spinalonga! It was INCREDIBLE! Keep going to make all people happy with your amazing service, delicious food&drinks,with your professionalism and beautiful Catamaran! I highly recommend to everyone this company for the boat trip.

The reason we travel is an experience like this. Sleek, comfortable and well-equipped catamaran, first rate crew who really care about your enjoyment, nice dinner (especially the mussels) and lovely Mirabella Bay coastline. Had quite a bit of difficulty finding the boat, but all was forgiven after the ocean swim and camaraderie among people from such a variety of countries.

What a brilliant day!! George the Skipper and Joanna, who prepared the wonderful food, made our day really special. We traveled on this lovely yacht to a tranquil bay where we had loads of time to swim and paddle board. We were then treated to a fantastic lunch with fresh fish and delicious salads and plenty of alcohol! What an unbelievable day, thank you both so much!

Sept. 22, 2023

This was a 10/10 and would highly recommend booking with them. It was 11 of us in a group and holds 20 people so it felt like a private trip. The crew were lovely, very polite and attentive. They had all kinds of things like paddle boards, floaters, snorkelling. Jumping off the boat was so fun and we had enough time to have fun and do whatever we want to do. For the non swimmers who want to go into the ocean they give noodles which I have never seen and many non swimmers were very happy instead of wearing life jackets. The lunch was delicious! And the starters when getting onto the boat was so good! We also forgot our drone batteries and were stressing, when we called in the morning they had found it and left it aside for us to pick up.

I booked Daneri Yachts for my husbands birthday . The Crew was great, welcoming, funny, and laid back , (I have had a bad experience in the past in France) however this was such a big difference and we actually really enjoyed our time . I loved that the trip left at 9:30 and we were back around 2:30 it gave us still so much time to use our day . What I love about this cruise was that your not just getting the sailing but they welcomed us with freshly cut cheeses, dips, and crackers . While they let us off the boat to swim they prepared a whole hot lunch . I was shocked when i saw them taking out fresh fish from the oven . They had two different salads and some other sides . But I was overall thankful the for the homecooked fresh meal . They also ended it with desserts and fresh cut fruit . it was just overall a pleasant experience . I highly recommend booking this .

Sept. 19, 2023

This is the second time we’ve used these guys and again they gave us a fantastic day with great food and drink. The guys on the boat were all very friendly and good fun. Epharisto poli and see you next year

A trip of a lifetime with vasili.

This July we took our 4 kids for a full day cruise with Vasili up the Crete coast from Rithymno it was amazing! He stopped at several nice little blue water beaches for us to swim, have snacks and enjoy cocktails.

Fabulous Yacht experience

We had an amazing day away from the Rethymno tourists, on our own private Yacht charter. We were taken to private coves and beaches where we swam in beautiful clear blue sea.

Fantastic day on this wonderful boat in superb seas!

We were given information about this boat by our hotel, and we decided to take it for a full day as part of a birthday celebration. The four of us were greeted well, and taken out to the most stunning bays, where we swam and laughed a lot.

Yacht Rental Crete

The Aegean Sea, a vast expanse of azure waters, caressed by the gentle Mediterranean winds, cradles within its bosom a myriad of islands. Among them lies Crete, a land steeped in rich history, boasting diverse landscapes, and bathed in radiant sunlight. It is here that the allure of the sea, the promise of adventure, and the lullaby of lapping waves beckon travellers from all walks of life to embark on an aquatic voyage, most notably via the noble vessel that is a yacht.

The Unseen Crete: Why Rent a Yacht?

You may ask, why the recommendation for yacht rental in this beautiful locale? Imagine for a moment, if you will, the romance of the open seas, the gentle rock of a boat, and the whispering wind in your sails. You're no longer a visitor in Crete, but an adventurer exploring its heart through its arteries - the winding azure veins of the Aegean.

By navigating its waters, you immerse yourself in a truly unique perspective. From your vessel, you can behold the cascading landscapes that form the island's coastline. Beaches of the finest sand transition into rugged cliffs, their sediment layers whispering tales of epochs gone by. Each evening, the setting sun drapes these formations in hues of crimson and gold, creating a spectacle that no land-bound vantage point could adequately encapsulate.

Moreover, with a yacht as your floating base, you can access hidden coves, secluded beaches and pristine snorkelling spots, untouched by the passage of time and shielded from the bustle of more touristic locales. This is the true allure of yacht rental in Crete, granting a level of intimacy with the landscape that is hard to rival.

Embracing the Voyage: Key Places to Visit with a Yacht in Crete

🚢 Elafonisi Beach

On the southwestern coast of Crete lies Elafonisi Beach, a striking oasis known for its pink-hued sand - a result of coral fragments swept ashore. Its shallow turquoise waters provide an excellent spot for leisurely swimming, and the nearby island nature reserve can also be explored. Given its popularity, approaching this beach from the sea offers a unique advantage, allowing you to find your own private slice of paradise.

🚢 Balos Lagoon

Cruise northward, and you'll find Balos Lagoon, a body of water where the sea meets the sky, blurring the line between the two. Its shallow, crystal-clear waters are a veritable playground for aquatic life, offering an opportunity to anchor your yacht and immerse yourself in a colourful world beneath the waves.

🚢 Gramvousa Island

Just off the coast of Balos Lagoon, you will find the island of Gramvousa. On it stands a Venetian fort, a sentinel from a bygone era, and below, a shipwreck rests - a poignant reminder of the sea's timeless power. These sights provide not only a beautiful backdrop for a swim but also a journey through history.

🚢 Spinalonga Island

Further east along the northern coast, you'll encounter the island of Spinalonga, once a leper colony and a fortress, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, you can moor your yacht and wander through the well-preserved ruins, feeling the echo of its rich and somewhat sombre history.

🚢 Dia Island

Just a few nautical miles north of Crete's capital, Heraklion, is the uninhabited island of Dia. A favourite amongst yachters, its secluded coves and vibrant marine life make it an ideal spot for snorkelling and peaceful relaxation away from the mainland's bustle.

🚢 Vai Beach

On the easternmost point of Crete lies Vai Beach, home to the largest natural palm grove in Europe. Its golden sands and clear waters, framed by the lush palm forest, make it a must-visit spot, particularly for sunrise when the light dapples through the fronds, casting a magical glow on the beach.

🚢 Chania Old Harbour

Starting from the west, Chania, with its Old Harbour, is a must-visit. The Venetian-era lighthouse, standing sentinel at the harbour entrance, is a sight to behold, particularly when it's bathed in the golden hues of sunset. You can moor your yacht here and explore the winding, narrow alleys of the old town, with its blend of Venetian, Ottoman, and traditional Greek architecture.

🚢 Agioi Apostoloi Beach

Southwest of Chania lies Agioi Apostoloi, a series of three sandy coves separated by small forested peninsulas. The sheltered nature of these coves makes them perfect for anchoring your yacht for a refreshing swim or a snorkelling excursion.

🚢 Seitan Limania

Tucked away on the Akrotiri peninsula, the Seitan Limania is a narrow, deep cove with crystal-clear waters - an almost otherworldly slice of paradise. It's an ideal spot for those who enjoy a touch of adrenaline, as its cliffs provide a perfect spot for diving into the Aegean's welcoming embrace.

🚢 Marathi Beach

Also located on the Akrotiri peninsula, Marathi Beach is renowned for its calm waters, protected from the winds that can often blow through the Aegean. The sandy beach is the perfect spot for a picnic lunch, and the local tavernas offer delectable Cretan cuisine that you can sample when you dock.

🚢 Preveli Beach

Further south, you'll find Preveli Beach, a unique location where the Kourtaliotis River meets the sea, creating a palm forest oasis. You can anchor your yacht nearby and explore the area either by swimming or by inflatable dinghy.

🚢 Matala Beach

On the southern coast, Matala Beach offers a fascinating historical allure. The sandstone cliffs that back the beach are pockmarked with man-made caves, used as tombs in Roman times and later inhabited by 'hippies' during the 1960s and 1970s.

🚢 Koufonisia Islands

Lastly, don't miss out on the Koufonisia Islands, located south of Crete. These two tiny islands offer magnificent beaches, sea caves, and crystal-clear waters for snorkelling and swimming.

Crete, with its varied coastline, offers something for every type of adventurer, from tranquil coves to historical harbours. Exploring this island by yacht allows you to weave together these diverse experiences into a journey that not only spans the miles but also bridges the centuries, truly immersing you in the heart and soul of Crete.

Pondering Your Voyage: Pre-rental Considerations

As enchanting as this seafaring journey sounds, a degree of preparation and consideration is necessary. Indeed, to embark upon such an adventure in a way that guarantees your safety, comfort, and enjoyment, one must adhere to certain principles.

⛵ Charting the Course

The waters surrounding Crete are generally calm, but they are not without their nuances. Understanding the prevailing winds, known as the Meltemi, and their seasonality is paramount. Typically blowing from the north, they can bring with them choppier seas, especially during the height of summer. Charting a course that takes into consideration these winds will ensure a smoother journey.

⛵ The Art of Seamanship

Another aspect to ponder is the level of your nautical proficiency. If you're a seasoned seafarer, well-versed in the language of the sea, your voyage may be one of solitary communion with the waves. However, if you're less experienced, consider hiring a local captain. Not only will this provide a safe and stress-free journey, but these individuals often bring with them tales of the island and its waters, enriching your adventure.

The Nautical Companion: Selecting Your Yacht

The yacht you choose will significantly shape your experience in Crete. This is not merely a vessel for travel, but a home, a viewing platform, and an adventurer's companion.

⛵ The Elegant Sailing Yacht

One might opt for a traditional sailing yacht. There is a certain charm in harnessing the power of the wind to navigate these ancient waters, as sailors have done for millennia. With their generous deck spaces and comfortable cabins, these vessels offer a perfect balance between luxury and the thrill of seafaring. They're well-suited for leisurely exploration of the coastline, punctuated by frequent stops at the numerous points of interest Crete's coastline offers.

⛵ The Powerful Motor Yacht

Alternatively, you might consider a motor yacht. These titans of the sea offer speed, allowing you to cover larger distances and explore a wider area. Equipped with the latest navigational technology and offering lavish onboard amenities, motor yachts provide a luxury resort experience on the waves.

⛵ The Balanced Catamaran

Then there is the catamaran, the Swiss Army knife of yachts. Combining the stability of a motor yacht with the potential for sail-assisted cruising, these vessels are excellent for families or larger groups. Their dual-hull design offers an abundance of space, both inside and on the deck, making them a floating haven of comfort.

In conclusion, to rent a yacht in Crete is to answer a call to adventure, to intimacy with an island that has much to reveal to those willing to venture beyond its shores. With careful consideration and the right vessel, you can embark on a journey that is as rich and diverse as Crete itself. The Aegean is calling. Are you ready to answer?

A Compass for the Curious: Frequently Asked Questions

In our shared voyage of discovery across the crystalline waters of Crete, we understand that questions may arise, casting ripples across the smooth surface of your planning. Thus, we invite you to join us as we delve into some frequently asked questions, navigating through the currents of curiosity and guiding you to the treasure troves of knowledge that lie beneath.

What is the best time of year to rent a yacht in Crete?

The prime yachting season in Crete usually runs from April to October. During these months, we are blessed with warm, sunny weather and calm seas, particularly between May and June, and then again in September when the summer crowds have thinned.

Do I need a special license to rent a yacht?

If you wish to captain the vessel yourself, an International Certificate of Competence (ICC) or an equivalent national certificate from your country of origin would be necessary. However, if you're not quite ready to take the helm, we can arrange for a seasoned local skipper to guide your journey.

Can I customize my itinerary?

Absolutely! We embrace the spirit of adventure and the call of curiosity. Whether you wish to chart a course to the renowned spots or to lesser-known, secluded coves, we are here to help craft your unique nautical journey.

What should I pack for a yacht trip in Crete?

While the radiant Cretan sun is often a faithful companion, it's wise to pack for all eventualities. Sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses are essential, as are swimsuits and comfortable clothing for on-board relaxation. We also suggest bringing along a windbreaker or light jacket for the cooler evenings or the occasional winds.

Are the yachts equipped with safety equipment?

Your safety is our utmost priority. Rest assured that all yachts are equipped with the necessary safety gear, including life jackets, first-aid kits, VHF radios, and safety rafts. Before setting sail, we ensure that all adventurers are familiarised with the location and use of this equipment.

In our shared journey, we aim to equip you not only with a vessel but also with the knowledge and confidence to make your yachting adventure in Crete an unforgettable voyage. As we traverse the sparkling Aegean together, we welcome your questions, your curiosities, and your thirst for adventure, every nautical mile of the way.

You make the memories. We make the arrangements.

With Yachting.Rent, you’re invited to explore this Greek gem’s unique allure, sailing the brilliant blue waters of the Mediterranean.

Crete’s advantageous location, with a coastline stretching over 1000 km, offers diverse sailing experiences.

The island’s climate is another reason for its popularity among sailors – long, sunny summers and mild winters make it an ideal year-round sailing destination.

The island is home to an abundance of beautiful and diverse mooring spots. From the popular marinas of Heraklion and Agios Nikolaos to secluded anchorages in Balos Lagoon and Elounda, Crete offers a plethora of options for an idyllic overnight stay on your yacht.

But sailing in Crete is not only about the sea.

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Crete

At Yachting.Rent, we offer an extensive selection of yachts to make your seafaring journey around the beautiful island of Crete a dream come true. One question we often receive is whether to opt for a sailing boat or a catamaran. We believe the decision lies in the kind of experience you seek.

The Classic Sailing Boat Experience For the traditionalists, a sailing boat offers an authentic sailing adventure that connects you with the sea in a profound way. There’s a unique thrill in manipulating the sails and rudder to navigate the waters that motor-powered vessels simply cannot match. Sailing boats are perfect for smaller groups looking for a cozy, intimate setting. They are also often the choice of those looking to test their sailing skills and feel the harmony of working with the winds and the waves.

The Luxury of a Catamaran On the other hand, if your primary concern is comfort and stability, a catamaran would be an ideal choice. With its dual-hull design, a catamaran offers more space, stability, and smooth sailing, making it less likely to rock in choppy waters. The expansive decks of our catamarans provide ample space for sunbathing, dining, and unwinding, making them perfect for larger groups or families.

Why Choose? Experience Both! At Yachting.Rent, we don’t believe in restricting your choices. Depending on the length of your stay, you could opt to experience both vessels, dividing your time between the classic seafaring charm of a sailing boat and the spacious luxury of a catamaran.

Supported by a Dedicated Team Whether you choose a sailing boat or a catamaran, our team at Yachting.Rent is committed to providing you with an unforgettable journey. We offer the option of bareboat charter for experienced sailors, or you can choose to have a professional skipper guide your journey.

Uncover the treasures of Crete, from the sparkling azure waters to the rich, cultural history. Reach out to us at Yachting.Rent, and we’ll help you select the perfect vessel for your Cretan sailing adventure. Let’s set sail for an unforgettable experience!
