Charter Cranchi in Mykonos: Models, Prices and Routes (2026)
Most-Requested Cranchi Models for Mykonos Charters
Cranchi yachts are renowned for their sleek lines and efficient hull designs, making them ideal for the "Meltemi" winds often found in the Cyclades. Depending on your group size—typically between 4 and 12 guests for day trips—certain models are more prevalent in the Mykonos marinas.
- Cranchi Endurance Series (30ft - 48ft): These are the quintessential Mykonos day boats. Models like the Endurance 30 or Endurance 41 are perfect for small groups of 4-8 people. They offer large sunpads and an open-cockpit layout designed for socializing and quick hops between beach clubs.
- Cranchi M44 HT: A highly sought-after model for families, the M44 HT features a hardtop for shade and two cabins. It typically accommodates up to 10 or 12 guests for a day cruise and 4 to 5 for an overnight stay.
- Cranchi Sessantasette 67 & Settantotto 78: For those seeking ultimate luxury, these flybridge models represent the pinnacle of the Cranchi fleet. They are equipped with stabilizers, multiple en-suite cabins, and expansive teak decks, suitable for 8-10 guests on multi-day itineraries.

Top 1-Day Routes from Mykonos Marina
Most Cranchi charters depart from the Tourlos New Port or the Ornos Bay anchorage. A standard day charter lasts 8 hours, typically from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
- The Delos & Rhenia Cruise: This is the most popular route. You begin with a stop at the archaeological site of Delos, followed by an afternoon in the secluded, crystal-clear bays of Rhenia Island. The shallow turquoise waters here are perfect for the maneuverability of a Cranchi Endurance.
- The South Coast Beach Hop: For those who want to see and be seen, cruise along the southern coastline. You can anchor off Psarou Beach (Nammos), Paraga (Scorpios), and Super Paradise. A Cranchi M44 HT is the perfect "tender" to arrive in style at these world-famous beach clubs.
- Dragonisi Island: On calm days, heading east to the uninhabited islet of Dragonisi reveals spectacular sea caves and rock formations, ideal for snorkeling away from the crowds.
Multi-Day Itineraries: 3 to 7 Days
If you choose to charter a boat in Mykonos for more than a day, the central location of the island allows you to explore the "Heart of the Cyclades" with ease.
- 3-Day "Small Cyclades" Escape: Day 1: Mykonos to Naxos (Agia Anna). Day 2: Naxos to the turquoise lagoons of Koufonisia. Day 3: Return to Mykonos via the wild coast of Donoussa.
- 7-Day Cycladic Grand Tour: This itinerary typically covers Mykonos, Paros (Naoussa port), Antiparos (Despotiko bay), Ios, Santorini (Ammoudi Bay), and Sifnos. The speed of a Cranchi Settantotto ensures you spend less time in transit and more time exploring the whitewashed villages and hidden coves of the Aegean.
What is Included in a Cranchi Charter?
Understanding the "all-in" cost is vital for a seamless experience. In Mykonos, charter contracts are usually divided into the base charter fee and additional expenses.
- Standard Inclusions: The base price usually includes the yacht, the professional skipper (and crew for larger models), insurance, and end cleaning. Some day charters also include a welcome drink, snacks, and towels.
- VAT: In Greece, VAT for charters is typically 12% to 24%, depending on the duration and type of contract.
- Fuel: For day trips, fuel is often charged at the end of the trip based on the engines' consumption and the route taken. For weekly charters, fuel is covered by the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance), which is usually 30-35% of the base charter fee.
- APA: This fund covers fuel, food, beverages, and berthing fees in other islands. Any remaining balance is refunded to the client at the end of the charter.
Marinas and Berthing Logistics
Mykonos has two primary hubs for yachting. The Tourlos New Port is the main marina where most larger Cranchi yachts are berthed. It provides electricity, water, and easy access to Mykonos Town (Chora) via a short taxi or water-taxi ride. The Old Port is largely reserved for smaller local boats and some commercial tenders. Many guests prefer to be picked up by tender directly from the jetties of luxury hotels in Ornos or Platis Gialos, which can be arranged with your captain in advance, weather permitting.
Best Time to Charter: Season and Weather
The Mykonos yachting season runs from May through October.
- Peak Season (July-August): Expect hot weather (30°C+) and a vibrant atmosphere. However, this is also the time of the Meltemi winds, which can create choppy seas. Cranchi’s hull stability is a major advantage during these months.
- Shoulder Season (June & September): These are often considered the best months. The sea is warm, the crowds are thinner, and the winds are generally calmer, allowing for smoother crossings to islands like Tinos or Syros.
- Early/Late Season (May & October): Ideal for those seeking tranquility and lower prices. While the water may be cooler, the sunny days are perfect for coastal cruising.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many people can fit on a Cranchi for a day trip in Mykonos?
Most Cranchi models available in Mykonos are licensed for 10 to 12 guests plus crew for day charters. For overnight stays, the capacity is typically 4 to 8 guests depending on the number of cabins (usually 2 to 4).
Do I need a license to charter a Cranchi in Mykonos?
Most luxury Cranchi yachts in our fleet are chartered exclusively with a professional skipper. This ensures your safety and allows you to enjoy the island without worrying about navigation or mooring. Bareboat options for smaller models may require a valid RYA Day Skipper or equivalent international license.
Is fuel included in the price?
Generally, fuel is not included in the base charter price. For a standard Rhenia/Delos day trip, expect to pay between €300 and €800 in fuel, depending on the yacht's size and engine hours. Your broker will provide a fuel estimate based on your 2026 itinerary.
Can we visit Santorini on a one-day Cranchi charter?
While possible on a high-speed Cranchi Sessantasette, a day trip to Santorini is generally not recommended due to the distance (approx. 65 nautical miles) and the potential for rough seas. We recommend at least an overnight stay to truly experience Santorini.
