Private Yacht Charters from Tourlos Marina to Delos, Rhenia, and the Beaches of Mykonos
Mykonos Yacht Charters: Aegean Luxury, Delos, and the Cyclades Beaches
A Mykonos yacht charter is a fully crewed private boat rental departing from Tourlos Marina, the Mykonos New Port about 2 km north of Mykonos Town, that gives your group exclusive access to the cosmopolitan Cyclades island and the surrounding Aegean Sea, including the sacred UNESCO archaeological island of Delos, the uninhabited swim island of Rhenia, and the celebrated beaches of Psarou, Platis Gialos, Paradise, and Super Paradise, aboard a luxury vessel with an experienced captain and crew.
Mykonos is one of the most famous islands in Greece, a cosmopolitan Cyclades island of about 86 square kilometers and a permanent population of around 10,000 that swells many times over each summer. It is celebrated worldwide for the whitewashed lanes and blue shutters of Mykonos Town (Chora), the iconic row of windmills above the harbour, the waterfront quarter of Little Venice, its glamorous beach clubs, and its lively scene, all set on a sun-bleached island in the heart of the Aegean. Just 7 nautical miles southwest lies Delos, one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Day Yacht Charters builds every charter around your group, with experienced captains who know every beach, cove, and crossing around the island.
Below you will find our featured Mykonos fleet, followed by a complete guide to cruising the island: the marina and Mykonos Town, the sacred island of Delos and neighboring Rhenia, the best beaches by yacht, the windmills and Little Venice, swimming and the Aegean water, sample itineraries, the onboard experience, and full logistics for getting to Mykonos.

Experience the Luxury of Mykonos Yacht Charters - Private Charters Available to Delos, Rhenia, and the Best Cyclades Beaches
Mykonos yacht charters are private, crewed boat rentals exploring the cosmopolitan Cyclades island of Mykonos and the surrounding central Aegean Sea of Greece, departing primarily from Tourlos Marina, the Mykonos New Port located about 2 km north of Mykonos Town. Mykonos is one of the most famous islands in Greece, covering about 86 square kilometers with a permanent population of around 10,000 that swells many times over each summer. It is celebrated worldwide for the whitewashed lanes and blue shutters of Mykonos Town, the iconic row of windmills above the harbour, the waterfront quarter of Little Venice, its glamorous beach clubs, and its lively summer scene, all set on a sun-bleached island in the heart of the Cyclades. Greek is the language, the Euro is the currency, Greece is a member of the European Union and the Schengen Area, and the prime charter season runs May through September with warm, sunny conditions and the refreshing Meltemi breeze that gives Mykonos its ancient nickname, the Island of the Winds. Day Yacht Charters operates a fully crewed fleet from Tourlos Marina with experienced captains who know every beach, cove, and crossing around the island: the sacred UNESCO ruins of Delos about 7 nautical miles southwest, the uninhabited swim island of Rhenia beside it, the celebrated southern beaches of Psarou, Platis Gialos, Paradise, Super Paradise, and Elia, and the quieter bays at Ornos and Kalafatis. Charter guests arrive through Mykonos Airport (JMK), which receives direct seasonal flights from across Europe and connections from Athens, just a few minutes from the marina and Mykonos Town. The combination of glamorous island life, the sacred ruins of Delos, clear warm water, and celebrated beaches reached easily by yacht makes Mykonos one of the great charter destinations of the Aegean, ideal as a single-island charter or as the starting point for a wider Cyclades cruise.
Tourlos Marina, the Mykonos New Port, is the primary departure point for Mykonos yacht charters and the island's main marine gateway. Located about 2 km north of Mykonos Town along the west coast, the New Port handles cruise ships, ferries, and private yachts, with sheltered berths, marine services, and easy road access to the town and the airport. From the marina, a yacht clears the harbour and is cruising within minutes, reaching Delos and Rhenia in a 30 to 45 minute crossing to the southwest and the southern beaches within a comfortable cruise around the island. The smaller Old Port, right beside Mykonos Town, handles tenders and smaller craft and is the traditional heart of the island's waterfront. Most Mykonos yacht charters depart Tourlos Marina in the morning, returning by late afternoon for day charters or staying out for the sunset. The classic full-day route crosses to Delos for a visit to the ruins, anchors off neighboring Rhenia for a swim and a long lunch on deck, and then cruises the southern coast past the famous beaches on the way back. A popular alternative focuses on the southern beaches and their beach clubs, anchoring off Psarou, Platis Gialos, Paradise, and Super Paradise for swimming and tendering ashore. The captain reads the daily Meltemi breeze to choose the most sheltered route and anchorages. Mykonos Town itself, seen from the water, is one of the most beautiful sights in the Cyclades: a cascade of whitewashed cubic houses with blue shutters and domes, the famous row of sixteenth century windmills (Kato Mili) standing on the ridge above the harbour, and the waterfront quarter of Little Venice, where colorful houses rise straight from the sea with balconies overhanging the water. The small whitewashed church of Panagia Paraportiani, one of the most photographed churches in Greece, sits at the edge of the old town. A charter can time its return for the famous Mykonos sunset, when the windmills and Little Venice glow gold from the water, a far more peaceful vantage than the crowded waterfront bars.
The crossing to Delos is the single most rewarding excursion of a Mykonos yacht charter and a highlight no other Cyclades island can match. Delos lies about 7 nautical miles southwest of Mykonos, a 30 to 45 minute cruise, and the small uninhabited island is one of the most important archaeological sites in all of Greece, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in its entirety. In Greek mythology Delos was the sacred birthplace of the twin gods Apollo and Artemis, and from the early first millennium BC it was one of the most important religious and commercial centers of the ancient Mediterranean, a sanctuary and a thriving port city. Today the whole island is an open-air museum of extraordinary ruins. The famous Terrace of the Lions, a row of archaic marble lions presented by the people of Naxos around 600 BC, guards the approach to the Sacred Lake where Apollo was said to have been born. Visitors can walk among the remains of temples, the theater, the grand houses of the Hellenistic merchants with their preserved mosaics such as the House of the Dolphins and the House of Dionysus, and climb Mount Kynthos for a view over the ruins and the surrounding Cyclades. A charter moors off Delos and guests tender ashore for a guided visit; the island is protected, so there is no overnight stay, and yachts do not remain after the site closes. Right beside Delos lies Rhenia, a larger uninhabited island that was, in antiquity, the burial ground for Delos because no one was permitted to be born or to die on the sacred island itself. Today Rhenia is a charter paradise of clear, sheltered coves and quiet sandy beaches, the perfect place to anchor for a swim and a long lunch on deck after visiting the ruins of Delos. The combination of the sacred ruins of Delos and a swim in the crystal water off Rhenia is the classic Mykonos charter day, blending the deepest history of the Aegean with its clearest water, all within a short cruise of Mykonos Town.
Mykonos is famous for its beaches, and a private yacht is the finest way to enjoy them, anchoring offshore in the clear water and tendering in, away from the crowds that pack the beach clubs by land. The southern and eastern coasts shelter a string of celebrated beaches, each with its own character, and a charter can visit several in a single day. Psarou is the most glamorous, a sheltered cove of fine sand backed by celebrated beach clubs and a favorite anchorage for yachts, with calm, clear water ideal for swimming. Neighboring Platis Gialos is a long, family-friendly beach with a row of tavernas and easy swimming. Just around the headland lie Paradise and Super Paradise, the famous party beaches whose beach clubs and music draw a lively summer crowd; from a yacht anchored offshore, guests can enjoy the scene or the swimming as they please. Further east, Elia is the longest beach on the island, with golden sand and clear water, while Agrari and Kalafatis offer quieter, more relaxed swimming, with Kalafatis also known for water sports. On the west coast near the town, Ornos is a sheltered family bay with calm water, and Agios Ioannis, the beach made famous by a Hollywood film, looks across to Delos with spectacular sunsets. Because the Meltemi breeze blows from the north in summer, the southern beaches are generally the most sheltered, and a charter captain chooses the anchorages each day based on the wind, ensuring calm, clear water for swimming and a comfortable lunch on deck. A typical beach day weaves together a glamorous stop at Psarou, a swim at a quieter cove such as Agrari or Kalafatis, and lunch at anchor, with the option of tendering ashore to a beach club. The freedom to move between beaches, escape the crowds, and anchor in the clearest water is the great advantage of seeing the Mykonos beaches by private yacht.
Mykonos Town, known to Greeks as Chora, is one of the most beautiful and atmospheric towns in the Cyclades, and seeing it from the water on a charter offers a perspective the land visitor never gets. The town is a maze of narrow, whitewashed marble lanes deliberately built to confuse the pirates of past centuries, lined with blue and red doors, bougainvillea, boutiques, galleries, and tavernas, opening suddenly onto small squares and the sea. Rising above the harbour stands the island's signature landmark, the row of sixteenth century windmills known as Kato Mili, built by the Venetians to grind grain and now the most photographed sight on the island. Along the waterfront, the quarter of Little Venice (Alefkandra) is a row of old captains' and merchants' houses built right at the water's edge, their wooden balconies overhanging the sea, now home to bars and restaurants famous for their sunset views. From a yacht, the scene of the whitewashed houses, the windmills above, and the sun sinking into the Aegean is unforgettable. Nearby stands the small, much-photographed church of Panagia Paraportiani, a whitewashed cluster of five chapels merged into one sculptural whole, one of the most distinctive pieces of architecture in Greece. Ashore, Mykonos is famous for its dining, its boutiques, and its legendary nightlife, but it also rewards quieter exploration: the Aegean Maritime Museum, the windmills at sunset, and the backstreets of the old town away from the crowds. A charter can time its day to combine a morning cruise to Delos and the beaches with an evening return to Mykonos Town, mooring or tendering in for dinner ashore among the lanes of Chora. The contrast between the sacred quiet of Delos, the clear water of the beaches, and the glamorous energy of the town is the essence of a Mykonos charter.
The clear, warm Aegean water around Mykonos makes a charter one of the finest swimming and snorkeling experiences in the Cyclades. The water ranges from the high 60s degrees Fahrenheit in spring to around 80 degrees Fahrenheit in late summer, with excellent visibility on settled days, and the island's many beaches and coves offer warm, sheltered swimming directly from the yacht. The great advantage of a private charter is the freedom to anchor off a quiet cove, away from the busy beaches, and swim in clear water with the swim platform and snorkel gear ready. The clearest and quietest swimming in the area is found off the uninhabited island of Rhenia, beside Delos, whose sheltered sandy coves are a favorite charter anchorage for a swim and a lunch stop. Around Mykonos itself, the calm bays at Ornos and Psarou, the long beach at Platis Gialos, and the eastern beaches at Elia and Kalafatis all offer easy, warm swimming, while the rocky points between the beaches shelter small fish, octopus, and clear water ideal for snorkeling. Because the Meltemi breeze blows from the north in the summer months, the southern coast of Mykonos is generally the most sheltered for swimming, and the captain selects each anchorage based on the day's wind to ensure calm, clear water. A charter can combine a morning of ruins at Delos with an afternoon of swimming off Rhenia and the southern beaches, or spend a full day moving between the island's coves. Water sports such as paddle boarding and snorkeling are easily arranged from the yacht, and the warm, clear Aegean makes swimming a pleasure for guests of every age and level throughout the long charter season.
A half-day Mykonos yacht charter from Tourlos Marina typically runs 4 hours and focuses on the southern beaches. Departing the marina in the morning or afternoon, the route cruises the southern coast, anchoring off Psarou, Platis Gialos, or Paradise for swimming in the clear water, with the option of tendering ashore to a beach club, before returning to port. The half-day is ideal for guests with limited time or for a relaxed introduction to the island's beaches and clear water. A full-day 8 hour charter is the classic Mykonos experience and combines history with swimming. Departing Tourlos Marina in the morning, the route crosses to Delos for a guided visit to the sacred ruins, then anchors off neighboring Rhenia for a swim and a long lunch served on deck in a quiet cove, before cruising the southern coast of Mykonos past the famous beaches on the way back, with time for a final swim. The full-day itinerary blends the deepest history of the Aegean with its clearest water and can be customized entirely around your group's interests. A multi-day charter uses Mykonos as the starting point for a wider Cyclades cruise. A 3 to 5 day cruise might link Mykonos and Delos with the central islands of Paros and Naxos, the volcanic coves of Milos, or continue south toward the dramatic caldera of Santorini, about 63 nautical miles to the south, which is a multi-day extension rather than a day trip. These longer cruises anchor each night in a different harbour or cove and are the finest way to combine Mykonos with the wider archipelago. Sunset cruises are among the most popular Mykonos options. A 2 to 3 hour sunset charter departs in the late afternoon and cruises off Little Venice and the windmills for the famous Mykonos sunset from the water, far more peaceful than the crowded waterfront bars. We offer flexible packages, some include open bar, some allow BYOB, and some add premium catering with fresh Aegean seafood, Greek meze, and crisp Assyrtiko wine served on deck as the windmills glow at sunset.
Mykonos is reached by air through Mykonos Airport (JMK), which receives direct seasonal flights from across Europe, including London, Paris, Rome, Milan, Frankfurt, Munich, Vienna, and Zurich in the summer charter season, as well as frequent connections from Athens International Airport (ATH), about a 40 minute flight away. International guests from North America typically connect through Athens or a major European hub, with total transit from the United States east coast of approximately 12 to 15 hours. Mykonos is also well connected by frequent ferries from the port of Athens at Piraeus and Rafina and from the neighboring Cyclades islands. From the airport, Tourlos Marina and Mykonos Town are just a few minutes away by road. Greece is a member of the European Union and the Schengen Area, so travelers from within Schengen need no border formalities, and visitors from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and many other countries can enter visa-free for stays of up to 90 days within any 180 day period. All visitors should hold a passport valid for at least 3 months beyond the planned departure date. The Euro is the currency, major credit cards are accepted widely, Greek is the language with English widely spoken in tourism contexts, and Greece uses 230 volts at 50 Hz with the Type C and Type F plug. Mykonos sits in the Eastern European Time zone. Mykonos offers a wide range of lodging, from the luxury resorts and boutique hotels around Ornos, Psarou, and Platis Gialos to design hotels in Mykonos Town, and many guests pair a private day charter with time ashore enjoying the town, the beaches, and the dining and nightlife. The best Mykonos charter season runs May through September, with the warmest water and the liveliest scene in July and August and the most comfortable temperatures and quieter beaches in late May, June, and September. The refreshing Meltemi breeze rises on summer afternoons and cools the island, giving Mykonos its nickname the Island of the Winds; our captains plan each day's route around it to ensure sheltered, comfortable cruising.

From the deck of a private yacht leaving Tourlos Marina, your group experiences Mykonos and the surrounding Aegean from the finest possible perspective. The headline cruise is to Delos, the sacred uninhabited island that lies about 7 nautical miles southwest of Mykonos, a 30 to 45 minute crossing. In Greek mythology Delos was the birthplace of the twin gods Apollo and Artemis, and the whole island is an open-air archaeological museum and UNESCO World Heritage Site, with the famous Terrace of the Lions, the Sacred Lake, temples, theaters, and mosaics spread across its slopes. A charter can moor off Delos for a guided visit to the ruins, a highlight no Cyclades island can match. Right beside Delos lies Rhenia, an uninhabited island ringed with clear, sheltered coves, the perfect place to anchor for a swim and a long lunch on deck after visiting the ruins. Closer to home, the southern coast of Mykonos is lined with the island's celebrated beaches, easily reached by yacht, and the captain reads each day's conditions, including the refreshing Meltemi breeze that gives Mykonos its nickname the Island of the Winds, to choose the most sheltered and beautiful route.
The clear, warm Aegean water around Mykonos makes a charter one of the finest swimming and snorkeling experiences in the Cyclades, with visibility that is often excellent on settled days and water that ranges from the high 60s degrees Fahrenheit in spring to around 80 degrees Fahrenheit in late summer. The southern and eastern coasts of the island shelter a string of beautiful beaches and coves, and a private yacht can anchor off each in turn, away from the crowds that pack the beach clubs by land. The uninhabited island of Rhenia, beside Delos, offers some of the clearest and quietest swimming in the area, with sheltered sandy coves ideal for a swim and a snorkel directly off the yacht. Around Mykonos itself, the calm bays at Ornos, Psarou, and Kalafatis, and the clear water off the southern beaches, give easy, warm swimming for guests of every level. The Aegean marine life, including bream, sea bass, octopus, and the occasional dolphin, makes every snorkel stop rewarding, and a charter can linger in a quiet cove long after the day boats have gone.
Mykonos is one of the most distinctive yacht charter destinations in the Aegean. The combination of the glamorous whitewashed town with its windmills, the sacred ruins of Delos just offshore, the uninhabited swim island of Rhenia, the celebrated beaches, and the clear, warm water creates a charter destination unlike any other. Our local team has years of experience on these waters and builds every charter around the group's interests, the seasonal conditions and the refreshing Meltemi breeze on the day, and the specific beaches, ruins, and coves each guest most wants to include.

The New Port handles cruise ships, ferries, and private yachts, with sheltered berths, marine services, and easy road access to the town and the airport. From the marina a yacht clears the harbour and is cruising within minutes, reaching the sacred island of Delos and neighboring Rhenia in a 30 to 45 minute crossing and the southern beaches within a comfortable cruise around the island. The smaller Old Port, right beside Mykonos Town, handles tenders and smaller craft and is the traditional heart of the island's waterfront. The marina is just a few minutes from Mykonos Airport.
Yes, and it is the highlight of most charters. Delos lies about 7 nautical miles southwest of Mykonos, a 30 to 45 minute cruise, and is one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in its entirety and, in mythology, the sacred birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. A charter moors off the island and guests tender ashore for a guided visit to the extraordinary ruins, including the famous Terrace of the Lions, the Sacred Lake, ancient temples, the theater, and Hellenistic houses with preserved mosaics. The island is protected, so there is no overnight stay. Most charters combine Delos with a swim and lunch off neighboring Rhenia, an uninhabited island with clear, sheltered coves. Contact us at +1 (305) 515-4735 to plan a Delos cruise.
The best Mykonos charter season runs May through September. July and August bring the warmest water, around 80 degrees Fahrenheit, the longest days, and the liveliest island scene, along with the refreshing Meltemi breeze that gives Mykonos its nickname the Island of the Winds and keeps the island cool. Late May, June, and September offer the most comfortable temperatures ashore, quieter beaches, clear water, and excellent cruising, making them favorites for many guests. April and October are cooler, quieter shoulder months. We charter throughout the season and our captains plan each day's route around the conditions and the Meltemi to ensure sheltered, comfortable cruising. Contact us at +1 (305) 515-4735 to choose the best dates for your group.
A Mykonos charter can visit the island's celebrated beaches, anchoring offshore in the clear water and tendering in, away from the land crowds. The most glamorous is Psarou, a sheltered cove backed by famous beach clubs and a favorite yacht anchorage, with calm, clear water. Neighboring Platis Gialos is a long, family-friendly beach, while Paradise and Super Paradise are the famous party beaches whose clubs draw a lively summer crowd. Further east, Elia is the longest beach on the island, and Agrari and Kalafatis offer quieter swimming. On the west coast, Ornos is a calm family bay and Agios Ioannis looks across to Delos with spectacular sunsets. Your captain chooses the most sheltered beaches based on the day's Meltemi breeze for calm, clear swimming.
A standard Mykonos yacht charter includes the vessel, fuel for the planned itinerary, an experienced licensed Greek captain, professional crew, all safety equipment, basic provisions including water and soft drinks, towels, snorkel gear, and tender service for beach and shore visits. Customization options include onboard private chef service with fresh Greek cuisine (grilled octopus, red mullet, sea bream, classic meze, and Greek salad), crisp Greek white wines such as Assyrtiko and Moschofilero, and cold local beer. We offer flexible packages, some include open bar, some allow BYOB. The Delos archaeological site has a separate admission and a licensed guide can be arranged. Contact us at +1 (305) 515-4735 to arrange catering and amenities for your charter.
Group sizes range from 2 to 25 guests depending on the vessel selected. Smaller sport motor yachts from 32 to 50 feet are ideal for couples and intimate groups of up to 12 guests for beach cruising and Delos visits. Mid-size motor yachts and catamarans from 50 to 70 feet accommodate groups of 12 to 18 comfortably for full-day charters combining Delos, Rhenia, and the beaches. Larger crewed superyachts and sailing yachts handle groups of up to 25 for milestone celebrations, family vacations, and multi-day Cyclades cruises. The sweet spot for most Mykonos charters is 6 to 12 guests, which fits comfortably on the most popular vessels and allows for personalized crew service plus easy tender and swim access to the beaches and coves.
Santorini lies about 63 nautical miles south of Mykonos, so it is a multi-day extension rather than a day trip. A private charter can cruise from Mykonos to Santorini over several days, typically linking the central Cyclades islands of Paros and Naxos or the volcanic island of Milos along the way, anchoring each night in a different harbour or cove, and arriving into the dramatic Santorini caldera, one of the great sights of the Mediterranean. This Mykonos to Santorini island-hopping cruise is one of the most rewarding itineraries in the Aegean. For a charter dedicated to the caldera island, see our Santorini yacht charters page, and for multi-island routes see our Cyclades yacht charters page. Contact us at +1 (305) 515-4735 to plan a multi-day cruise.
All Day Yacht Charters Mykonos charters include water and soft drinks as standard. We offer flexible packages, some include open bar, some allow BYOB, some add premium catering with private chef service onboard. Onboard chef menus typically feature fresh Greek cuisine including grilled octopus, red mullet, sea bream, calamari, and prawns, alongside classic meze, Greek salad with island tomatoes and feta, the local Mykonian kopanisti cheese, fresh tzatziki, and grilled lamb. Beverages include crisp Greek white wines such as Assyrtiko and Moschofilero, a glass of ouzo, cold local beer, and Greek coffee. Contact us at +1 (305) 515-4735 to arrange catering for your charter.
Yes. A sunset cruise is one of the most popular Mykonos charter options. A 2 to 3 hour sunset charter departs Tourlos Marina in the late afternoon and cruises along the west coast off Little Venice and the famous windmills for the celebrated Mykonos sunset seen from the water, a far more peaceful vantage than the crowded waterfront bars. The whitewashed town, the windmills, and the church of Panagia Paraportiani glow gold as the sun sinks into the Aegean. Sunset cruises are ideal for couples, celebrations, or a relaxed evening on the water, and can include drinks and catering on deck. We offer flexible packages, some include open bar, some allow BYOB. Contact us at +1 (305) 515-4735 to plan a Mykonos sunset cruise.

Planning Your Mykonos Yacht Charter
Planning a Mykonos yacht charter typically begins 4 to 12 weeks before the charter date for most dates and 3 to 6 months ahead for peak summer weeks in July and August and for milestone celebrations including honeymoons. Our team works with each client to understand the group composition, the preferred dates, the home base for lodging on the island, and the priorities of the experience (Delos and the ruins, Rhenia for swimming, the beach clubs, the southern beaches, celebration). We then propose vessel options and recommended itineraries, with a deposit securing the date and the vessel. The balance is due on the charter day. Crew gratuity, typically 15 to 20 percent of the charter fee, is customarily paid in cash at the end of the charter and is separate from the charter price.
Payment options include credit card, PayPal, Zelle, and bank wire. Charter durations in Mykonos typically run from 4 hour half-day cruises along the southern beaches up to full-day charters of 6 to 8 hours that combine Delos, Rhenia, and the beaches, plus multi-day cruises that extend into the wider Cyclades. Most Mykonos bookings are single-day full charters, with Delos and Rhenia day cruises and 2 to 3 hour sunset cruises as the most popular options. Contact us at +1 (305) 515-4735 or info@DayYachtCharters.com to check availability and begin planning.
