Nautilus Yachting > Cabin Charter > Greece Cabin Charter
If you want to relax on your sailing holiday or you do not have the experience to sail your own yacht, a cabin charter is a fantastic and affordable choice. Let your skipper show you the best sights in the area whilst your hostess provides delicious breakfasts and lunches to fuel your swimming, snorkelling, exploring or relaxing.
A crewed sailing holiday is a holiday dreams are made of. Island hopping by day and exploring a new town or village each night. No need to worry about sailing your own yacht, preparing your own food or planning the best route. All that is taken care of on a fully crewed cabin charter holiday. Chartering a cabin on a crewed yacht rather than an entire crewed yacht for yourself means that you can enjoy the luxury at a fraction of the cost.
Most of our cabin charters boats sleep 8 guests and are ideal for individuals, couples or small groups who are looking for a relaxing and sociable holiday. A sailing holiday really is like nothing else and our cabin charter holidays enable even those with no sailing experience to enjoy a holiday on the water.
We currently have a choice of cabin charter destinations including Greece, Croatia, Spain, Italy and the Caribbean. With such fantastic and varied options, you can pick a destination that is perfect for you. From island hopping in Greece to historic charm in Croatia or fiestas and paella in Spain. You are sure to find the perfect destination for your next holiday.

Not if you don't want to! The crew are perfectly able to sail the yacht and they do not need or expect your help. So relax with a cool drink, a good book and your suntan cream and watch the world sail by.
If you are keen to help out or learn a few new skills then the crew will be delighted to involve you in the sailing. They will soon have you helming and setting the sails like a pro!
All the cabin charter yachts are very comfortable to live aboard. There is a spacious lounge (saloon) and guest bedrooms (cabins) most with ensuite shower and WC (heads). The crew have their own quarters, separated from the guests. The yachts have a well equipped kitchen (galley) with fridges and freezers, hot and cold water and cookers.
When "living aboard", most of your time is actually spent on deck or in the water, basically outdoors. Most of your meals will be taken sitting in the shady cockpit at the back of the boat. You'll go to the front deck to lie out in the sun.
Every morning you'll wake up in a new anchorage. What about a refreshing swim before breakfast? The crew will serve a full breakfast with fresh local produce on the shady aft cockpit. You might want to explore ashore - visit a market, shop for souvenirs or walk up a hill for a spectacular view. You may prefer to relax with your book or work on that tan.
The cabin charter itineraries vary and can be found on each destination page but usually by mid-morning the yacht will set sail and find an idyllic anchorage for lunch. You can dive off the yacht and swim and snorkel or take advantage of any watersports. The crew will prepare and serve a light lunch.
An afternoon sail will take you to the evening's destination and the time you arrive will depend on the activities planned. There is usually time before dinner for sightseeing, shopping or drinks with new friends. Most evenings you are free to choose where you would like to go for dinner as most stops have a selection of restaurants to chose from. On a cabin charter with full-board meals included, dinner will be served on board the yacht. Meal times will depend upon cruising schedules and the wishes of all on board.
After all the activity and fresh air, you'll easily fall asleep in your cabin rocked by the gentle motion of the yacht bobbing at anchor.
Keep your packing light and pack everything in a soft, foldable duffel bag that is easier to stow away on a yacht. You'll spend your days in shorts, swimsuits, and t-shirts, but at night you might like to dress for dinner in a summer dress or shirt and trousers. You could bring a sweatshirt or lightweight jacket in case it's breezy.The standard aboard the yacht is to not wear shoes. Sandals or deck shoes are fine for ashore. Bring sunglasses, a baseball cap or a hat with a broad brim to shade your face. And don't forget your sun cream and camera!
All your towels and bedding are provided and the yachts are fully equipped with safety equipment so you don't need any "sailing gear".
