Charter Bali in Mykonos: Models, Prices and Routes (2026)
Most-Requested Bali Models for Mykonos Charters
Bali Catamarans, designed by the Catana Group, are famous for their "Open Space" concept, which replaces the traditional trampoline with a solid forward cockpit and lounge area. This design is particularly suited for the Mykonos climate, providing expansive sunbathing zones and an indoor-outdoor flow perfect for entertaining groups of 4 to 12 guests.
- Bali 4.2 & 4.4: Ideal for groups of 6-8 guests. These models feature 3 or 4 double cabins and offer a compact yet incredibly spacious layout for navigating the tighter bays of the southern Mykonos coast.
- Bali 4.6 & 4.8: The most popular mid-range options for 2026. With up to 5 or 6 cabins, these yachts easily accommodate 10-12 guests plus crew. They feature a flybridge with 360-degree views, perfect for sunset cocktails.
- Bali 5.4: The flagship of the fleet. This model is often requested for luxury crewed charters, offering massive living spaces, a direct access door from the salon to the front cockpit, and premium finishes.

Best 1-Day Routes from Tourlos Marina
Most Bali charters depart from the Mykonos New Port in Tourlos. For a day-long excursion, the "South Coast Safari" is the most requested route, allowing guests to experience the island's famous beach clubs from the water.
- The South Coast Run: Depart from Tourlos and head south toward Ornos and Psarou. Anchor in front of Nammos for a swim, then continue to Scorpios in Paraga. The stability of a Bali makes it an excellent platform for lunch on board before heading to the uninhabited island of Dragonisi to explore its sea caves.
- Delos & Rhenia: A more tranquil alternative. Sail west to the sacred island of Delos for a glimpse of ancient ruins, then anchor in the "Blue Lacoon" of Rhenia. The crystal-clear turquoise waters here are shallow and calm, ideal for using the Bali's paddleboards and snorkeling gear.
Multi-Day Itineraries: Exploring the Cyclades
With a weekly charter, your Bali becomes a floating villa. The 2026 routes focus on the "Lesser Cyclades" and the sophisticated neighboring islands. When planning your trip, consider a Bali charter in Mykonos to ensure you have a vessel capable of handling the Meltemi winds while providing maximum comfort.
- Mykonos to Paros & Antiparos: A 3-day loop. Spend day one in Rhenia, day two in Naoussa (Paros) for world-class dining, and day three exploring the sea caves of Antiparos before returning to Mykonos.
- The Central Cyclades (7 Days): Mykonos – Delos – Naxos – Koufonisia – Amorgos – Ios – Mykonos. This route takes you to the heart of the Aegean, visiting the dramatic cliffs of Amorgos and the exotic beaches of Koufonisia, which are best accessed by catamaran due to their shallow bays.
Logistics: Marinas and Berthing
The primary hub for yachting is the Mykonos New Port (Tourlos), located about 2km from Mykonos Town. It offers electricity, water, and fuel services. However, berthing space is extremely limited during July and August. Most Bali charters will spend nights at anchor in protected bays like Ornos or Kalafati to avoid the noise and congestion of the main port. If you require a berth in the Old Port, this must be requested months in advance and is generally reserved for smaller tenders or specific commercial vessels.
What is Included in a Mykonos Bali Charter?
Understanding the cost structure is vital for group budgeting. In Mykonos, charters are typically offered on a "Bareboat" or "Crewed" basis. For 2026, the following breakdown is standard:
- Bareboat: Includes the yacht and insurance. Excludes fuel, water, end cleaning (approx. €250-€400), and the refundable security deposit.
- Skippered/Crewed: Includes the yacht and the crew's professional fees. The APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is usually required for crewed trips, typically 20-35% of the charter fee, covering fuel, food, drinks, and port fees.
- VAT: In Greece, VAT for charters is currently 12% for multi-day trips and 24% for daily trips, though these rates are subject to local tax regulation changes.
Weather and the Best Months to Charter
The Mykonos charter season runs from late April to the end of October. The Meltemi—a strong northerly wind—is most prevalent in July and August. While the Bali’s twin-hull design provides more stability than a monohull in these conditions, less experienced sailors may prefer June or September when the winds are lighter and the water temperature remains a warm 24°C. May and October offer the best value for money and a quieter atmosphere, though some beach clubs may have limited hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a license to charter a Bali in Mykonos?
For a bareboat charter, at least one guest must possess a valid ICC or ASA International Sailing License, and a second guest should act as competent crew. If you do not have these, a professional local skipper must be hired.
Is a Bali catamaran better than a Sunsail or Lagoon for Mykonos?
The Bali is preferred by groups who prioritize social space. While Lagoon catamarans are excellent all-rounders, the Bali "tilt-and-turn" door and solid forward deck provide significantly more usable "terrace" space, which is highly valued during Mykonos day parties.
Can we sail from Mykonos to Santorini on a Bali?
While possible on a 7-day charter, it is a long 6-8 hour sail one way through open sea. It is generally recommended to focus on the islands closer to Mykonos (Paros, Naxos, Syros) to ensure a relaxing experience rather than spending the entire holiday in transit.
How far in advance should I book for 2026?
For peak weeks in July and August 2026, we recommend booking by October or November 2025. This ensures you get a newer model Bali and allows for the coordination of specific crew requirements.
