WIND OF CHANGE — 29m Brooke Marine for Charter in Greece
About this yacht
Wind of Change is an elegant 29-meter sailing yacht designed by the renowned Ron Holland, representing the gold standard of Mediterranean charter sailing. Built by the respected British shipyard Brooke Marine in 1988 and extensively refitted in 2018, she combines proven sailing pedigree with contemporary comfort and a well-appointed interior that encourages relaxed, informal cruising.
This sailing yacht was purpose-built to deliver genuine sailing performance alongside world-class accommodation. Her generous 3,500 square feet of sail area ensures she truly sails, while her 300-horsepower engine provides reliable auxiliary power when needed. A comfortable cruise speed of 8 knots makes her ideal for leisurely exploration across the Mediterranean, while a maximum speed of 10 knots allows for efficient passage-making when desired.
The WIND OF CHANGE accommodates six guests in three cabins—a spacious master suite, a VIP cabin, and a comfortable twin cabin—providing the perfect balance between privacy and social interaction. Her recent 2018 refit created a luxurious yet unpretentious atmosphere below decks, featuring well-appointed spaces designed for both relaxation and entertaining. The voluminous deck plan offers abundant space for sunbathing, alfresco dining, and enjoying the Mediterranean landscape, with generous flush teak areas ideal for both active sailors and those seeking pure leisure.
Operationally based in Athens, Greece, the WIND OF CHANGE has established herself as a favorite for charter throughout the Greek islands, including the Cyclades, Dodecanese, and Ionian regions, as well as the Turkish coast and broader East Mediterranean. Her design and construction specifically suit global cruising, making her equally at home in established charter waters or more adventurous passages.
Professional crew of four attend to all sailing and hospitality needs, ensuring guests can simply enjoy the experience. Whether you seek the thrill of genuine sailing combined with gourmet dining and impeccable service, or prefer leisurely anchorages in secluded bays, the WIND OF CHANGE charter offers a refined sailing experience from €24,000 to €27,000 per week.

What is included in the charter rate for WIND OF CHANGE?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 4, insurance, and use of the onboard equipment and water toys. Fuel, food and beverages, berthing and port fees, and shore excursions are paid from the APA, and VAT is charged on the base rate. APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is typically around 40% of the base rate, held by the captain and accounted for in full — unspent balance is refunded at disembarkation. Greek charter VAT varies by yacht and by charter, broadly between 5.2% and 24%, depending on the yacht's type, size and certification, the duration of the charter, whether it passes through international waters, and whether the yacht carries permanent professional crew. We confirm the applicable rate for WIND OF CHANGE before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter WIND OF CHANGE?+
WIND OF CHANGE charters from €24,000 per week in low season and €27,000 in high season — a difference of about 13% between the two. In Greece, July and August are peak: the most settled weather, the busiest anchorages, and the highest rates. Late May, June, and September offer warm water and quieter islands at the low-season rate, and are what we most often recommend. The meltemi wind is strongest in July and August across the Cyclades, which is worth weighing if sea state matters to your party.
