DMA Yachting reports that after evaluating over 200 crewed yachts across Greek and Mediterranean yacht shows in 2025, the firm sees a significant value opportunity driven by a booming fleet, fierce competition, and savvy buyers.
-- DMA Yachting (MyGreekCharter) today announces insights from its 2025 Mediterranean yacht show reviews, having assessed over 200 crewed yachts across Greece, the Adriatic, and Western Mediterranean. The review highlights notable value opportunities in crewed luxury yacht charter Greece, especially among older refitted motor yachts and newly launched catamarans.
According to yacht charter broker John Boullin, the market isn’t becoming cheaper overall, but select segments offer exceptional value. “We are especially seeing older motor yachts with brand-new refits, in excellent condition, offered at attractive prices,” he says. “These yachts often rival new builds in appearance and function, while also offering advantages like larger cabins or proven layouts. It’s a great opportunity for guests who want to go bigger for their budget.”
New catamarans are another area where value is emerging. These vessels often feature modern designs and top-tier amenities, but as they are just entering the Greek crewed catamaran charter market, they’re still building their track records. As such, pricing is often more flexible in their first season.
Key findings from DMA’s 2025 show reviews:
- Refitted motor yachts offering strong value. These older yachts often appear "as new" thanks to extensive refits, offering the benefits of modern upgrades at a lower price point.
- New catamarans in their first seasons. While newer and innovative, these yachts are still establishing themselves, leading to competitive pricing and strong guest value.
- Wide variation in quality. Yacht condition, finish, and crew professionalism still vary widely. However, standards continue to improve.
- High-level food and service now expected. Elevated culinary experiences have become a standard across all yacht sizes. Chefs on smaller catamarans are now matching or even surpassing those on large motor yachts, with some winning at charter show chef competitions. Even for guests booking mid-size yachts, food is no longer an afterthought. This is apparent in DMA’s new list of best luxury yacht charters for foodies in Greece.
- Expanding guest expectations. Water toys such as seabobs, jet skis, and e-foils are now expected. Service and hospitality are also evolving to meet diverse dietary and cultural needs.
- Cruising focus shifting. Some charterers and brokers are now prioritizing the Ionian and Dodecanese over the Cyclades, driven by weather, crowding, and a desire for more authentic local experiences.
Yacht charter broker Martina Asmus adds, “As brokers, we often recommend yachts we've already seen in action — those with a proven crew and satisfied clients. New yachts need time to establish that record, but when we see clear potential and smart pricing, we absolutely support them.”
For guests seeking best-value yacht charters in Greece, the timing is particularly favorable. With more yachts competing for a fixed season and high guest expectations, DMA sees this as a “sweet spot” for value. Opportunities include newly launched charter yachts and brand-new catamarans, offering the best value.
