Mykonos is a Cyclades base for crews who want to start in the middle of the islands with an international airport ten minutes away: charter yachts moor at the new port of Tourlos north of the town and in the bay of Ornos to the south, with Tinos, Syros, Paros and Naxos each a few hours off. It is the windiest of the Cycladic bases in July and August; June and September are the months.
Getting there
By air. Mykonos Airport (JMK) is about 4 km from the town — 10 minutes by taxi to Tourlos or Ornos, with direct summer flights from across Europe. By ferry. Ferries from Piraeus and Rafina land at Tourlos new port, where the charter fleet moors.
Mykonos before you cast off
Mykonos town — Little Venice, the windmills, the Paraportiani church and the lanes of the Chora — is a twenty-minute walk from Tourlos; the Delos sanctuary is a half-hour boat trip from the old harbour and the reason the island exists. Ornos and Psarou are the beaches nearest the southern base.
Supermarkets on the road between Tourlos and the town and in Ornos; fuel by tanker on the quay.

What a charter in Mykonos actually costs
Adriavela lists 25 boats leaving from Mykonos. What separates one price from another is the type of boat, its size, and the base it leaves from — not the month you go.
The average week is €11,235 and the cheapest boat on the list is €749. Figures are list prices for a 7-night bareboat charter, refreshed nightly; the exact total for your dates is confirmed on the boat’s own page before you book.

What kinds of boats can I charter in Mykonos?

Can I take a boat out for just one day?
Yes — 12 boats here accept a single-day booking, and 15 take two days. A day rate is quoted for the specific boat and date, so pick your day on the boat’s own page and the price comes back live.
What is not in the price?
The figure is for the boat. Transit log, tourist tax and the APA are mandatory, set per boat, and paid at the base. Skipper, hostess, extra equipment and other services are optional and also settled at the base.
Why do some boats show no price?
15 of the 25 boats in Mykonos are on request — usually larger or crewed yachts, where the rate depends on the week and the crew. They are left out of every figure above.
How far is the airport from Mykonos?
The nearest airport is Mykonos Airport (JMK), under 10 km away as the crow flies; Naxos Airport (JNX) is about 40 km. Transfer times by road are longer; most charter companies arrange a transfer to the base on request.
Do I need a licence to charter bareboat in Greece?
Yes. Greek rules require a recognised skipper’s certificate and a second crew member with sailing experience declared on the crew list; the base checks the papers at handover. Without them, a skipper is booked as an extra on the boat page.
What day do charters start?
Weekly charters run Saturday to Saturday: handover from 17:00 on Saturday, return to the base by the evening before and check-out by 9:00 on Saturday morning. Day charters start in the morning from the same quays.
Is Mykonos too windy to sail from?
In July and August the meltemi can reach force seven around Mykonos and Tinos for days; a skipper is the usual answer, and June and September are much gentler.
