The Saronic Islands rank among the best family yacht charter destinations in Greece, combining short sailing distances, calm waters and a sequence of harbours with beaches, water sports and archaeology within easy reach. Family yachts in Greek waters are crewed vessels configured for mixed groups: multiple cabin layouts accommodate parents and children separately, onboard chefs provide flexible mealtimes, and tenders, inflatables and jet skis keep younger guests occupied between anchorages. The 43 family-tagged yachts available in Greece range from 30-metre motor yachts to 50-metre vessels with dedicated activity programmes and stern beach clubs. Weekly rates sit between 55,000 and 300,000 euros depending on vessel size and specification, plus the advance provisioning allowance of around 30% for fuel, provisions and marina fees. The Saronic’s sheltered waters mean swells rarely exceed a metre in summer, making passages comfortable for young children and those prone to seasickness. Direct flights from across Europe into Athens and short transfers to Piraeus, Alimos or Lavrio marinas keep logistics manageable. Most families time their charter for July and August, though June and September carry lower rates and thinner crowds on the water.
