Charter a superyacht in
Zakynthos is an Ionian paradise, where turquoise waters lap against golden beaches, rugged cliffs give way to hidden sea caves, and vibrant nightlife meets secluded luxury. She will glide effortlessly along Zakynthos’ dramatic coastline, anchoring beneath the world-famous Navagio Beach (Shipwreck Cove) or in the tranquil waters of the Blue Caves. Whether it’s diving into aquamarine lagoons, exploring charming Greek villages, or sipping cocktails at a clifftop restaurant, a superyacht unlocks the very best of Zakynthos in ultimate style.
Superyachts are the ultimate way to explore any archipelago, but in the case of Zakynthos— its vertiginous northern coastline honeycombed with caves and secret coves— a private yacht gives you privileged access to many spots only reachable by boat. When the daytrippers leave Shipwreck Beach before sunset, your yacht remains, watching the sun set over the mighty cliffs and turning the rusted old shipwreck to fire. Dine at anchor, then breakfast early the next morning, watching sea turtles float past. This is the freedom of yacht charter in Zakynthos, as you cruise your way through the gems of the Ionian Sea.

Known by the Venetians as ‘the flower of the east’, Zakynthos has many sides to discover, from the rustic taverna to the ultra-luxury spa hotel to a long-lunch table under the olive trees. Explore the splendid Zakynthos Marine Park and its ‘Turtle Island’, and dive down deep to marvel at the rugged underwater topography and rich marine life. Party in the nightclubs and beach clubs of Lagana, or soak old aches away in the sulphurous springs of Keri. As the day wanes, ring in sunset with a view straight out of the pages of Conde Nast— up high at Keri Lighthouse bar or L’ete Sunset Bar, or from the deck of your superyacht, gently rocking at anchor.
Zakynthos fits neatly into the Ionian yacht charter season, running from May to late October. June through August brings the glorious heat and energy of high summer, with restaurants and beach clubs in full swing. Unlike the Aegean, the Ionian is spared the strong meltemi winds, making Zakynthos a superb choice for smooth cruising in peak season, with warm seas and lively shores at every stop.
Each month has its charm. May offers a peaceful escape before the crowds and heat arrive, while September brings gentler temperatures and seas that still hold summer’s warmth. October can be less predictable but often delivers superb cruising days. As the season softens, you’ll find quieter beaches, open tables, and that lingering Ionian glow that makes the tail end of summer feel all the more precious.
