Chartering a yacht in Patras from 350,000 Euros per week gives access to the gateway city of the Peloponnese with a strong maritime tradition and direct access to the Gulf of Corinth and the Ionian Sea. The yachts in this range are professionally crewed, well-maintained and suited to the varied conditions of the Greek charter season. The Gulf of Corinth is one of the most sheltered stretches of water in Greece, with calmer conditions than the open Aegean and a string of attractive stops between Patras and Corinth. The Ionian coast to the north and west adds further range for a week-long itinerary. The base rate of 350,000 Euros per week covers the yacht and full crew. The advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent covers fuel, harbour dues, food and drinks, and is reconciled at the end of the charter with any unspent balance returned. Greek harbour fees are reasonable, and Patras as a port of departure has good provisioning infrastructure. June and September offer excellent value and settled conditions; July and August bring the meltemi and peak demand. A well-planned itinerary from Patras can take in the Gulf of Corinth, the Ionian coast and the islands within a single week.
