Charter a superyacht in
Santorini’s fierce and terrible beauty will sear into your soul. The Santorini volcano erupted over 3500 years ago, blowing out the heart of the once much larger island. What is left is the flooded caldera where the superyachts gather, and red and black cliffs iced with whitewashed villages, their domes and shutters painted a deep Aegean blue. On charter in Santorini, stroll bougainvillea laneways hung with the shingles of designer boutiques, and soak up the high drama of a Santorini sunset. Swim off Red Beach in water so blue it looks electric, and hike around the rim of an ancient volcano. And everywhere, those heart-soaring vistas, the cliff edge dropping away to a distant horizon.
The bald truth is, with Santorini’s outrageous popularity, visiting by superyacht is the only way left to see the island in a state of exclusive privacy. A yacht charter lets you drink in the energy of Oia — the cliff-edge spas, glamorous restaurant terraces and swanky boutiques — then drift into the caldera’s deep blue for deck parties and dreamy meals. With a yacht, the island becomes yours — on your schedule, in your space.

Stay at Red Beach when the daytrippers leave, and watch the rock glow like fire at sunset. Drop anchor off Nea Kameni to swim in hot springs and hike around smoking craters. Watch Santorini’s epic sunsets without shouldering strangers for the view. A private yacht is a 7-star hotel, restaurant, waterpark and party venue in one — the ultimate escape from the crowds and the most magical way to explore the island.
Santorini has a very long yacht charter season, with the earliest superyachts dropping anchor in the caldera in late April and the last yachts departing in October. The season hits its sun-drenched, glittering peak in July and August when temperatures can soar above 30 degrees, the heat tempered by the meltemi winds and the cool refreshment of a dive off the yacht into the deep, cool waters of a flooded volcano.
For a more peaceful and intimate experience, May, June, September, and October are the perfect months to visit Santorini. The temperatures are milder, the sea still warm, and the island’s most famous spots less crowded. These months allow for unhurried exploration of its historic sites, tranquil beach days, and quiet anchorages under star-filled skies.
