Chartering a yacht around Kea involves several pricing factors, including the yacht’s size and type, the length of the charter, and the season. During the peak summer months of July and August, prices tend to rise sharply due to the high influx of visitors. In contrast, the shoulder seasons - spring (April to May) and early autumn (September to October) - offer more attractive rates, alongside pleasant weather and a more relaxed atmosphere with fewer crowds. While one-week charters remain the standard option, booking for longer periods often results in better overall value and sometimes special discounts. To secure the best yacht options and pricing, it’s advisable to book well in advance. Those with flexible schedules might also find advantageous deals through last-minute charters, though availability could be limited.

When planning a yacht charter in Kea, it is important to consider the application of Value Added Tax (VAT) at 13% on the base charter price. Additionally, most yacht charters request an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA), typically between 30% and 45% of the charter price. This APA covers extra onboard costs such as fuel, provisions, beverages, port fees, and crew gratuities. Any unused portion of the APA is refunded after the charter, while any additional expenses incurred are billed separately, ensuring your experience is smooth, personalized, and truly luxurious.

The best period to enjoy a yacht charter around Kea spans from April through October, with the high season reaching its peak during the lively months of July and August. For those seeking tranquility and exclusivity, the quieter months of May and June present ideal conditions - pleasant weather, smooth seas, and fewer visitors - offering a truly intimate and peaceful sailing adventure. As autumn arrives in September and October, the warm sea temperatures and gentle coastal breezes create a perfect setting for a sophisticated journey, where every moment is designed for ultimate relaxation, indulgence, and memorable luxury.
