Crete Luxury Yacht Charter Vacations

A Crete yacht charter gives you unrivalled coastal access to Greece’s largest island and the fifth largest in the Mediterranean. It lies south of the Aegean Sea and was historically and important link between Africa and Asia. At over 62 miles long, Crete’s coastline consists of both sandy beaches and rocky shores. Most luxury charter yachts and private superyachts visit during July and August when the weather is at its best. Favourite luxury yacht anchorages include Ayia Roumeli, Loutro, Vai and Spinaloga. There’s also a good selection of ports like Ayios Nikolaos, Iraklio and Rethimno.

Crete is well known for its beautiful beaches like Balos Beach, Preveli Beach and Falassama Beach, most of which are in the south of the island. Water sports such as jet skiing and wind surfing are very popular here. Why not arrange an island tour to see the White Mountains, Mount Ida, caves and amazing landscapes?

For yacht charterers who are interested in Greek history, Crete is certainly the place to head for. One of the most popular attractions is the Palace of Knossos, just south of Iraklio. This is a well-preserved palace containing workshops, storerooms, the throne room, banqueting halls and the royal quarters. It dates back to 2000-1350 BC and is a must-visit.

Those holidaymakers who enjoy trekking and walking won’t be disappointed when rambling through Crete’s mountains and hills. Take a walk out of Maleme to the quaint hilltop village of Deres. Here there’s a friendly taverna and a whitewashed church. The Samaria National Park which is accessible by bus has one of the biggest gorges in all of Europe.

If you have children with you on your yacht charter vacation, the Acqua Plus Water Park won’t disappoint them. Less than 20 miles from Heraklion it is split into two sections, one for children and one for adults. The delightful gardens around the water park have many exotic plants and flowers to see with a water slide waiting to be discovered underneath a lovely weeping willow tree. With slides, games and a lazy river, spend the day at this exciting park before returning to your superyacht for a good night’s rest. 

Next day why not visit the Venetian Harbour which is full of charm and grandeur? Your yacht charter captain can arrange anchorage nearby. Alternatively, there’s the CretAquarium that holds over 2,000 different species of marine life. There’s nothing better than a hearty Greek meal so look out for foodie hotspots that are rustic and have amazing menus. Don’t forget to order a bottle of the local wine. All in all Crete is a wonderful destination for a yacht charter holiday.

Greece’s largest island, Crete, is a coveted sailing destination, presenting a perfect blend of pristine natural beauty, captivating historical treasures, and vibrant local culture. With Yachting.Rent, you’re invited to explore this Greek gem’s unique allure, sailing the brilliant blue waters of the Mediterranean.

Crete’s advantageous location, with a coastline stretching over 1000 km, offers diverse sailing experiences. From tranquil beaches and secluded bays to bustling harbors, every sailor, novice or seasoned, can find a route that matches their preferences. The island’s climate is another reason for its popularity among sailors – long, sunny summers and mild winters make it an ideal year-round sailing destination.

The island is home to an abundance of beautiful and diverse mooring spots. From the popular marinas of Heraklion and Agios Nikolaos to secluded anchorages in Balos Lagoon and Elounda, Crete offers a plethora of options for an idyllic overnight stay on your yacht.

But sailing in Crete is not only about the sea. The island is rich in history and culture, featuring important archaeological sites like the Palace of Knossos, a testimony to the ancient Minoan civilization. The island’s charming villages and vibrant cities provide an opportunity to experience the Cretan hospitality, savor local cuisine, and participate in traditional festivals.

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Crete

At Yachting.Rent, we offer an extensive selection of yachts to make your seafaring journey around the beautiful island of Crete a dream come true. One question we often receive is whether to opt for a sailing boat or a catamaran. We believe the decision lies in the kind of experience you seek.

The Classic Sailing Boat Experience For the traditionalists, a sailing boat offers an authentic sailing adventure that connects you with the sea in a profound way. There’s a unique thrill in manipulating the sails and rudder to navigate the waters that motor-powered vessels simply cannot match. Sailing boats are perfect for smaller groups looking for a cozy, intimate setting. They are also often the choice of those looking to test their sailing skills and feel the harmony of working with the winds and the waves.

The Luxury of a Catamaran On the other hand, if your primary concern is comfort and stability, a catamaran would be an ideal choice. With its dual-hull design, a catamaran offers more space, stability, and smooth sailing, making it less likely to rock in choppy waters. The expansive decks of our catamarans provide ample space for sunbathing, dining, and unwinding, making them perfect for larger groups or families.

Why Choose? Experience Both! At Yachting.Rent, we don’t believe in restricting your choices. Depending on the length of your stay, you could opt to experience both vessels, dividing your time between the classic seafaring charm of a sailing boat and the spacious luxury of a catamaran.

Supported by a Dedicated Team Whether you choose a sailing boat or a catamaran, our team at Yachting.Rent is committed to providing you with an unforgettable journey. We offer the option of bareboat charter for experienced sailors, or you can choose to have a professional skipper guide your journey.

Uncover the treasures of Crete, from the sparkling azure waters to the rich, cultural history. Reach out to us at Yachting.Rent, and we’ll help you select the perfect vessel for your Cretan sailing adventure. Let’s set sail for an unforgettable experience!

For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.

Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

A fantastic afternoon with the wonderful hosts Yiannis and Iro. They showed us some beautiful spots for snorkelling and served a delicious lunch with homemade olive oil, olives and Raki. I would definitely recommend this trip.

We had an amazing and relaxed trip with Vintage Sailings! It is especially for people who like to have a relaxed private sailing trip. Very kind crew of two. All good is homemade!

Motor yacht crew face criminal charges over Greek island fire allegedly started by firework display

• Copy Link copied

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — A Greek prosecutor on Sunday brought criminal charges against the captain and crew of a chartered yacht suspected of triggering a forest fire on a resort island in the Aegean Sea during a firework display.

Greece has been plagued in recent days by scores of wildfires amid hot, dry and windy weather. On the day of the blaze authorities had warned of a maximum fire risk in several areas, appealing to the public for extreme caution.

The blaze on a remote stretch of coastline on the popular island of Hydra, 40 nautical miles (46 miles) south of Athens, destroyed about 75 acres of pine forest late Friday.

The crew of the large motor yacht, which had allegedly been anchored just off where the fire started with 17 tourists on board, were arrested Saturday when they docked near Athens. The tourists were not detained or charged.

State-run ERT television said the captain of another yacht anchored nearby told authorities that the blaze was started by fireworks let off by from the suspects’ vessel on Friday evening.

A prosecutor in the port of Piraeus, which serves Athens, on Sunday ordered the 13 suspects to be held in custody pending their appearance before an investigating judge.

ERT said they were charged under stricter legislation adopted recently and would face sentences of 10-20 years in prison if convicted.

Greece suffers every summer from destructive wildfires that have drastically reduced its forest cover, caused scores of deaths, and burnt homes and property.

Authorities warned of a particularly high risk this summer following a warm, dry winter that has left vegetation tinder-dry.

The fire service said Sunday evening that 41 wildfires broke out all over the country in the past 24 hours.

The blaze on Hydra was extinguished after several hours by firefighters brought by boat to the spot, which is uninhabited and not easily accessible by land.
