What Does a Yacht Vacation Actually Cost? Our Complete Pricing Breakdown

Planning a sailing charter across Greece, Croatia, Italy, or Thailand should be an exciting experience, not a guessing game filled with unexpected expenses. On many standard boat rentals, hidden add-ons like port fees, fuel surcharges, cleaning fees, and one-way route charges can quickly inflate your final bill.

At Med Sailing Holidays, we believe in complete financial transparency. We design our hosted charters so you know exactly what your trip costs before you step foot on deck.

What Is Included in Your Trip Price When you book your cabin or private vessel, your rate covers almost everything needed for a seamless week on the water:

• Your Yacht & Professional Crew: You get a modern vessel guided by an experienced skipper and an onboard host.

• Early Check-In & Champagne Arrival: Start your vacation immediately upon arrival with early access and a welcome toast.

• Onboard Meals: Freshly prepared breakfasts and lunches are cooked for you daily right in the galley.

• Major Route & Port Expenses: Your price includes marina fees (typically around €650 per week) and one-way route fees (€750 value).

• Onboard Comforts & Utilities: Enjoy air conditioning while docked in port, fresh water, local taxes, final cleaning fees, and unlimited 4G WiFi.

• No Surprises: There are no extra departure taxes or surprise dockage fees added at checkout.

What to Budget for On Shore To give you complete freedom during your holiday, a few personal items are kept separate from the base price:

• Evening Dinners Ashore: Nighttime is your opportunity to explore local island tavernas and coastal restaurants.

• BYO Beverages: You are welcome to bring your favorite wine, beer, spirits, and mixes onboard without paying corkage fees.

• Shore Excursions & Gratuities: Any personal land tours, taxi rides, or tips for your hard-working crew are at your discretion.

Flexible Cabin Options All prices are structured around double-share cabins for two guests, making it easy to book with a partner or friend. Solo travelers can choose to share a double cabin or reserve a private cabin for extra personal space.

Knowing your expenses ahead of time lets you focus entirely on relaxing, swimming in turquoise bays, and enjoying island life. With all major operational costs included in your initial price, you can set sail with total confidence and zero budget stress.
