How much does a yacht charter in Cyprus cost?
Charter pricing has a reputation for being deliberately opaque. It is not, once you know the four things you are actually paying for. This page sets out how a charter in Cyprus is priced, what sits inside the headline figure and what sits outside it, so that you can read a quote and know whether it is a fair one before you speak to anyone.
The figures come from the fleet we represent in Cyprus and are refreshed nightly. They are the shape of the market rather than a quote: a binding quote comes from the yacht owner or operator company for your specific dates.
A charter is priced by the yacht for the whole boat, not per person. Typical week rates: 80 to 100 ft, $52,529 to $83,993. Typical day rates: 80 to 100 ft, $8,560 to $11,673. On top of the charter fee, budget around 30% for the APA, 19% VAT and a discretionary crew gratuity of around 10%.
What You Are Actually Paying For
A crewed charter has four parts. Only the first is the figure you see advertised, which is why a quote can look like a surprise when it is really just the same charter written out in full.

What Sets the Price in Cyprus
- Where charters board
Charters in Cyprus board at Limassol Marina, Larnaca Marina, St Raphael Marina, Ayia Napa Marina, and nights alongside are paid out of the APA rather than billed on top of the charter fee.
- Getting to the boat
The long-haul airport is Larnaca International Airport (LCA), 35–45 min by road to Limassol Marina, and transfers are arranged by the crew rather than included in the charter fee.
- When the season runs
The charter season in Cyprus runs Apr – Nov, the peak weeks are Jun – Sep, and summer sea temperature is around 22–27°C. One of the Mediterranean's longest charter windows – reliable sunshine from spring to late autumn along a coastline of sea caves and blue lagoons.
