Typically, in a monohull boat, adjacent cabins are only separated by a thin ply-wood bulkhead, which obviously creates a privacy issue. Every crew member in your party has surely a different tolerance level for comfort or discomfort, and privacy.

Talking about comfort we have to mention the seasickness issue. Bear in mind that the bigger yacht you charter the less sea sickness your crew will have.

A crew in their early 20's will not have the same expectations as a group in their 50's. Make sure everyone knows where he is getting to, or select the size of yacht together with the number of cabins that will create less or no problems.

Catamaran or monohull is a question that comes up when the time comes to choose a boat and more when privacy is mentioned. Click here EASY SAILING web page that gives information for charter a catamaran in Greece.

Budget is very important - if not the only important thing. Obviously, the bigger the boat you charter is the more money you have to spend. Of course the budget is shared between the crew-members. This part is self-explanatory since you know what you can afford or not. But there is another side you should consider too and we call it sailing skills of the crew.

Handling a 38 ft. sailboat experienced crew members is not a big problem. However a 50-footer is a totally different story, because everything is much bigger and therefore more difficult to control. It is not more difficult technically, but the forces are much higher and any mistake you make will result to a damage which on its turn may cost you money. Be sure you will not shove off your heavy and bulky 50-footer when going into another yacht and that the gel coat and other damages made to the two boats will be charged to your security deposit. on the other hand all yachts for charter in Greece above 50 feet have lately installed lots of equipment (electric winches, roller furling sails, lazy jacks, lines led to cockpit, powerful bow thrusters, GPS-Plotters, ultimate technologies in electronics and autopilots, etc.) that make yacht's handling a piece of cake.

Therefore assess yours and your crew's skills and make your choice accordingly.

If you wish your charter yacht to be equipped with a generator 220v and air-conditioning system you should be looking at boats 50 feet long or more and secure existence of that special equipment.

If your aim is bareboat sailing in Greece in stylish GRP (plastic) yachts, then we believe you should opt for the latest models of Jeanneau boatyard the Sun Odyssey 53i DS, the Elan 514 Impression and given you want something big, to go for the flagship of EASY SAILING fleet the Beneteau 57. The new Beneteau 57 is also equipped with many other extras.

One of them is the deep freezer which is an important feature for some people and rarely found on other yacht types for charter in Greece.

In the event you have in mind to rent a boat in Greece and combine water sports, Jet Ski or scuba diving, you must be prepared to find such amenities only in bigger yachts (of 60 or more feet - mostly in the fully crewed yacht charters). No water sports facilities or jet ski or scuba diving equipment are possible in bareboat charters in the Greek islands, though windsurf or kayak can be arranged at an extra fee (if/where available). In order you choose the boat you really want is better you know beforehand that scuba diving equipment can be hired in many islands by scuba diving authorized centres on the spot, and that jet ski and water sports are also available in lots of so- called organised beaches in numerous Greek islands.

Choose a boat from the fleet of Sunsail if the case you wish to charter a bigger bareboat with less cabins (for example just 2 cabins in a 42+ feet boat), as all charter companies in Greece prefer to offer sailboats with the maximum possible number of cabins the manufacturer can provide to each model.

After all, choosing /selecting the right boats for charter in Greece is not only a matter of layout study and size estimation. It is also the fun of preparation and anticipation itself. Your boat selection depends on the number of people in your party, your budget, your and your crew's sailing skills, and your comfort level tolerance.
