Greece has the widest published crewed range of any cruising ground in this record, because one agency prices its whole fleet in public rather than stopping where the crew begin. That makes the ladder visible: the same listing carries a catamaran you can take skippered and a motor yacht with a crew of eight, and the distance between them is most of two orders of magnitude.
The published Greek ladder, top to bottom
Istion Yachting's Greek fleet listing was read on 11 September 2026 and carries a Bali Catspace of 2023, 12 guests in four cabins, from 3.510 EUR a week out of Athens and offered bareboat or skippered; an Excess 14 of 2024 from 4.950 EUR a week out of Lefkas on the same terms; a Bugari 112 with a crew of six from 55.000 EUR; and a Maiora 126 with a crew of eight from 98.000 EUR. Those figures are quoted from that listing rather than linked, because it is the company's front page rather than a document with its own address.
Crewed catamaran, Greece: why skippered is not crewed
The catamarans above are offered bareboat or skippered, which means one professional who sails the boat. Crewed, in the sense the two motor yachts are crewed, means a captain plus stewardesses, a chef and engineers, and the price reflects the payroll rather than the hull. A group asking for a crewed Greek charter usually wants the first and is quoted the second, which is where most of the confusion in this part of the market comes from.
What the Moorings range shows about the middle
The Moorings' Greek page runs from $2,634 to $36,999 for a 7 day charter for 2, and the upper part of that range is where crew come aboard on a large catamaran. Read beside Istion's listing it fills in the middle of the ladder: the step from a skippered monohull to a crewed catamaran is large, and the step from a crewed catamaran to a crewed motor yacht is larger again.
The APA, and what it does to a Greek budget
At the crewed end the fee stops being the whole picture. An Advance Provisioning Allowance is a float paid to the captain before the trip, from which fuel, food, drink, berthing and port charges are met as they fall, reconciled against accounts at the end. None of the figures above include it. Istion's own charter guide gives a sense of the underlying running costs by pricing bareboat fuel at 200 to 400 EUR a week for a monohull and 500 to 700 for a catamaran.
