What’s Included in a Crewed Yacht Charter? Full Breakdown

If you’re considering a crewed yacht charter for your Greek sailing holiday, you might be wondering: what exactly is included? From your skipper to daily comforts onboard, here’s a full breakdown of what to expect when booking a crewed charter.

1. Professional Skipper

Your skipper is responsible for navigating, mooring, and ensuring the safety of the yacht and all guests. They’ll handle route planning, weather checks, and docking in marinas or anchorages.

2. Hostess or Chef (Optional)

Many crewed charters include a hostess who prepares breakfasts, light lunches, and keeps the yacht tidy. Larger yachts or luxury catamarans often have a dedicated chef to prepare full meals tailored to guest preferences.

3. Bed Linen and Towels

Fresh linen and towels are provided and replaced weekly. On premium crewed yachts, you may get mid-week linen changes and beach towels included.

4. Final Cleaning

Unlike bareboat charters where cleaning fees are often additional, crewed yacht packages usually include final cleaning in the base price.

5. Fuel and Water

Many crewed charters include fuel and water usage in the price, though this varies by yacht. Always confirm inclusions to avoid surprises at check-out.

6. Water Toys and Equipment

Expect snorkelling gear, SUP boards, and sometimes sea scooters, kayaks, or fishing equipment. Check each yacht’s listing for exact inclusions.
