However, this is not the end: it is also worth remembering that it is a typically island country, and thus - very heterogeneous.

Yacht rental in Greece without a skipper - qualifications required
Greek waters are much more interesting and more diverse in terms of difficulty than, for example, Croatian. This gives much more fun to sailing, but also requires a bit more skill and entails the need to familiarize yourself with local conditions.
It is worth bearing in mind that for independent yacht charter in Greece, you need at least a yacht helmsman's license. In addition, local regulations require that there is also a so-called co-skipper. It is a person with any sailing experience and declaring that if necessary he will bring the boat to the port. A crew member acting as a co-skipper does not need to have any license.
Yacht charter with skipper in Greece
People who do not have a license can opt for a yacht charter with a skipper. This is the simplest solution for everyone who dreams of a sailing holiday and visiting several Greek islands during one holiday.
Hiring a skipper is very easy - just select the appropriate option on the list of optional extras during the initial booking. In Greece, the offer of this type of service is relatively wide, so their prices are quite affordable. When calculating the costs, it is worth remembering that the person acting as a skipper does not contribute to the yacht cash desk and must be provided with food during the cruise.
