Private Yacht Charters & Sailing Experiences in Greece
A Day on the Water. An Island-Hopping Escape. A Journey Made Yours.
Discover Greece from the sea with a private yacht, catamaran or sailing experience designed around your plans. From a day exploring the coast to a multi-day island journey or a private sea transfer, Wineland brings together the right boat, route and onboard arrangements for your group.
Choose where you want to go, how long you want to stay and the experience you have in mind. We’ll help shape the details.
Your Boat. Your Journey. Your Pace.
A quiet afternoon at anchor, several days exploring the islands or a private journey between destinations. There is more than one way to experience Greece by sea.
Wineland arranges yacht and sailing experiences through professional boat operators, matching your plans with suitable vessels and realistic routes. We coordinate the proposal and booking details, giving you a clear point of contact as your experience takes shape.
Our approach goes beyond choosing a boat. We consider your group, preferred pace, time available and the moments you want to include, from swimming and island stops to dining and special occasions.
Three Ways to Experience Greece by Sea
Routes, departure points and timings are confirmed individually, according to vessel availability, distance and operating conditions.
Private Day & Sunset Cruises
Make a day on the water part of your Greek holiday. Explore the coastline, pause for swimming or plan a sunset cruise, with the route and onboard arrangements shaped around your group.
Multi-Day Yacht & Sailing Charters
Give yourself more time to explore. Build an island-hopping journey with overnight stays aboard a suitable yacht, balancing time at sea with island visits, dining and days at your own pace.
Private Sea Transfers
Travel between selected ports, islands and coastal destinations by private boat. Share your departure point, destination, preferred timing and luggage requirements, and we’ll explore suitable options.
Start with a Destination. We’ll Help Shape the Journey.
Your experience does not have to begin in Athens. Tell us where you’re staying, the islands you want to explore or the journey you need to make, and we’ll look at suitable departure points and boat options.
Athens Riviera & Saronic Islands
Consider a coastal cruise from Athens or a journey incorporating islands such as Aegina, Poros, Hydra and Spetses. Your available time and chosen vessel will guide the route.
Santorini & the Cyclades
Explore options for private sailing, island experiences and journeys between selected Cycladic destinations. Start with the island you’re visiting and the kind of experience you want.
Beyond Athens & Santorini
Planning time elsewhere in Greece? Share your destination and dates. We’ll explore charter and transfer options through our operator network and confirm what can be arranged.
A Starting Point, Not a Fixed Itinerary

Which Boat Suits Your Plans?
The right boat depends on more than guest numbers. We consider your route, preferred style, onboard facilities and whether you’re planning a day trip, overnight stay or transfer.
| Boat | Consider it when |
|---|---|
| Sailing Yacht | For guests who want sailing to be part of the experience. Tell us whether your priority is time under sail, coastal exploration or a longer journey. |
| Catamaran | An option to consider when shared deck space and onboard layout are important. We’ll help compare suitable vessels for your group and plans. |
| Motor Yacht | For guests considering a yacht-led day experience, a longer charter or a route where cruising performance matters. |
| RIB or Speedboat | An option for selected private transfers and coastal excursions. Suitability is assessed around the route, conditions, group and luggage. |
Guest capacity, overnight accommodation, facilities, crew arrangements and journey estimates are confirmed for the specific vessel proposed.
