Hiring a skipper in Greece costs about **€195 per day** in The Globe Sailor's September 2026 catamaran table ([The Globe Sailor](https://www.theglobesailor.com/blog/what-it-really-costs-to-charter-a-yacht), checked 28 Oct 2026), so about **€1,365 for 7 days** (our arithmetic). Added to 12 Knots' average catamaran prices ([12 Knots](https://12knots.com/en/yacht-charter/destinations/mediterranean-sea/greece/catamaran-charter/), checked 27 Oct 2026), a skippered week runs from **€5,892** in March to **€10,903** in August (our arithmetic), before fuel, marina fees and food.

*Last checked: 28 Oct 2026. The Globe Sailor's table does not state the skipper column's unit; we read it as per day because its text gives skipper fees as "between €150 and €300 per day". 12 Knots' averages mix bareboat and crewed listings.*

## Do you need a licence if you hire a skipper?

The licence rules for Greece (Licence required (ICC, Coastal Skipper, ASA 104, IPC…); Day Skipper not accepted) apply to whoever is in charge of the boat; with a professional skipper, that is the skipper. Details: [Greece licence requirements](https://catamaranindex.com/greece/#licence). This is the main reason to book a skippered charter if you don't hold an accepted licence.
