Mykonos is the most cosmopolitan of the Cycladic islands, combining a genuinely beautiful Aegean townscape of whitewashed cubes and working windmills with a summer social scene that makes it one of the most sought-after charter destinations in the Mediterranean. At 100,000 Euros per week, yachts of 40 to 50 metres with professional crews of seven or eight provide the platform for experiencing the island’s dual identity: vibrant waterfront by night, quiet coves and the sacred island of Delos by day.
The Mykonos anchorages suit yachts of this size well. Ornos Bay and Agios Ioannis offer sheltered overnight positions within easy tender distance of the town, while Psarou Beach and Paraga provide access to the island’s beach clubs from the water. The crossing to Delos, the uninhabited island that was the religious centre of the ancient Aegean world, takes under thirty minutes and rewards several hours of walking among the ruins.
Rates from 100,000 Euros per week cover the yacht and crew before the advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent. High season berths in Mykonos marina are competitive; the captain will secure berthing in advance. The Aegean meltemi from the north builds through July and August and is most pronounced around Mykonos, where the island’s low profile offers limited shelter. Anchorages in the south are preferable when conditions build.
Mykonos suits guests who want the full Greek island social experience alongside the privacy and comfort of a private yacht anchored away from the port.
