The Ionian Islands combine emerald waters, pine-scented coastlines and some of the most sheltered sailing conditions in Greece, making them a natural choice for a motor yacht charter. From Corfu in the north to Zakynthos in the south, the archipelago stretches down the western coast of mainland Greece, offering calm Ionian seas and reliable summer winds that rarely disrupt itinerary planning. A motor yacht gives you the freedom to cover ground at pace, linking Kefalonia, Ithaca, Lefkada and Paxos in a single week without sacrificing a full day at any of them. The charter fleet spans everything from sleek 30-metre day boats to 60-metre superyachts, with the majority between 35 and 50 metres. Amenities vary: expect pools and beach clubs on the larger hulls and well-equipped water toy garages across the range. Crew sizes run from four to twelve, ensuring attentive, personalised service throughout. Motor yacht charter rates in the Ionian Islands start from around 55,000 euros per week for a 30-metre yacht in June or September and rise above 300,000 euros for a 60-metre vessel at the height of July and August. Rates are quoted net, with a provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent added to cover fuel, berthing, provisions and drinks. The classic circuit links the Venetian old town of Corfu, the Blue Caves of Zakynthos, the remote coves of Meganisi, the sheltered bay at Fiscardo on Kefalonia and the quiet anchorages off Ithaca, island of Homer.
