Yacht charters in Peloponnese

Chartering a yacht in Peloponnese: what to ask

Yacht charters in Peloponnese are run by a small set of operators working out of the region's harbours, and the choice usually comes down to which port suits your plans. Messinia Yachts is based in Kalamata and also works from Pylos and Kardamyli, with sailing catamarans, motor boats and sailing boats for private trips and guided day cruises. In Nafplio, Nafplio4sail runs small-group and private sailing cruises, including daily trips to beaches reached only by boat, and its yachts also host parties and bachelorette gatherings. Delta Adventures Rib Yacht Cruises, at the port of Nafplio, offers RIB yacht rentals and cruises. Portoheli Yachting Agency arranges boat rentals, charters and tours from Porto Cheli on the coastal road.

How the boats are crewed, whether a charter runs for a day or a week, and what the price covers vary between operators, so these are worth settling before you book. Ask each business directly about bareboat, skippered or crewed arrangements, motor versus sailing yachts, catamaran availability and what is included in the rate. Messinia Yachts lists trips departing from Kalamata, Pylos and Kardamyli, which helps if your group is spread along the Messinian coast. Nafplio4sail's office is open daily from 8:00 to 23:00, while Delta Adventures Rib Yacht Cruises is listed as open around the clock.
