Why Charter Here

Mykonos yacht charter offers the best of two worlds: the energy of Greece's most cosmopolitan island and the calm of the surrounding Cyclades, all from the privacy of your own crewed yacht. At Drivas Yachts, we have been arranging luxury crewed yacht charters in Mykonos since 1972, and we know these waters intimately.

A Mykonos charter works best because it allows you to take the island on your terms. Delos lies just across the water for an early private visit. Rhenia offers a far calmer anchorage for lunch and swimming once the town begins to fill. From there the western Cyclades, the Small Cyclades, or a southern loop toward Paros, Ios, and Santorini all sit within easy reach. For guests who want a social first night and a quieter second act, few places work better.

In July and August the meltemi needs to be respected, and berth planning should be handled early. In June and September Mykonos becomes easier and more elegant. Either way, the yacht is what keeps the island enjoyable: it gives you access to the spectacle without trapping you inside it.
