Greece with Maréa
The Aegean feels different when you arrive by sea.
Greece is made for moving slowly between islands. Around Santorini and the Cyclades, the landscape shifts from volcanic cliffs and caldera views to small harbours, swimming coves and villages best approached without a timetable.
A private yacht gives you the freedom to balance time ashore with the reason you came in the first place: the water. Spend the morning under sail, stop for a swim before lunch and arrive somewhere new in time for a long evening.
Maréa matches the yacht to your group and the style of trip you want, whether that means a spacious catamaran, a classic sailing yacht or a faster power catamaran.

Two ways to experience Greece from the water
Start with the atmosphere you want, then let the route follow.
THE CYCLADES
Island-hopping without rushing
Build a charter around clear-water bays, whitewashed villages and unhurried passages between islands, with the freedom to linger when somewhere feels right.

Why charter here
Why Greece works beautifully by yacht
A natural island-hopping rhythm
The geography invites movement between islands while still leaving plenty of time for swimming, lunch ashore and long afternoons on deck.
A coastline made for perspective
Many of Greece's most memorable landscapes are at their best from the water, where cliffs, villages and bays unfold without the road in between.
Your days stay flexible
A private charter lets the crew shape each day around conditions and your preferences instead of forcing the holiday into a rigid excursion schedule.
When to go
Choose the season that suits your charter
The best time depends on the experience you want. Maréa can help align your dates, yacht and route with the seasonal rhythm of Greece.
May to June
Warm, elegant and less hurried
A strong early-season window for guests who want warm days and a calmer feel before the height of summer.
July to August
High summer energy
Long, hot days and lively islands. This is peak season, so early planning matters.
September to October
Late-season ease
Warm seas and a softer pace make early autumn especially appealing for couples and adult groups.

A charter rhythm
What an unhurried Greece charter could feel like
An illustrative rhythm, not a fixed itinerary. Your actual route is shaped around conditions, preferences and the yacht.
Days 1-2
Arrive in Santorini
Meet your crew, settle aboard and see the caldera from the water before choosing a quieter anchorage.
Days 3-4
Follow the islands
Mix sailing with swimming coves, small harbours and time ashore without trying to tick off every island.
Days 5-6
Keep what works
Stay longer where the water is best, change the plan when somewhere catches your attention and let the charter breathe.
Day 7
Return slowly
Make the final passage part of the holiday, with one last swim or lunch afloat before returning.

Catamarans offer space and stability, sailing yachts create a more traditional Aegean experience, and power catamarans suit guests who want to cover ground more quickly.
