Explorer yachts at Folegandros deliver the range and self-sufficiency to treat the southern Cyclades as a proper expedition. Folegandros serves as an ideal hub for passages toward Crete, the Dodecanese or the Turkish coast, and the three explorer yachts available for charter here carry the fuel, equipment and crew to handle open-water passages in meltemi conditions without compromising guest comfort.
Weekly rates for explorer charters in Folegandros begin around 90,000 euros, reflecting the operating costs and range capability of these expedition-grade vessels. The APA at 30 percent is an important budget item on explorer yachts, as fuel costs on long passages represent a significant portion of the provisioning allowance.
Folegandros suits an explorer itinerary because it requires no compromise. The island’s deep-water anchorages accommodate larger explorer vessels, the western beaches are accessible by tender, and the Chora provides the cultural dimension that characterises the best expedition charters. From here, an explorer yacht can reach Crete in eight hours or Rhodes in two days.
For charterers who consider range and the ability to reach genuinely remote anchorages the defining luxury of a charter week, Folegandros and an explorer yacht provide both the starting point and the means.
