Some yachts earn their reputation quietly — not through fanfare, but through the kind of repeat guests and glowing feedback that speaks louder than any brochure. Aegean Schatz is that kind of yacht. A classic 32-metre gulet sailing under the Greek flag, freshly emerged from a two-phase refit completed in 2025, she carries five beautifully appointed cabins for up to eleven guests. And right now, she has some of the most attractive availability and pricing we've seen in the Dodecanese for the 2026 season.
A Greece Yacht Charter That Earns Its Price Tag
Let's talk value — because on a luxury gulet charter, that word gets thrown around freely. Aboard Aegean Schatz, the headline rates for 2026 have been revised downward, and the inclusions have been meaningfully expanded. Fourteen hours of fuel per week is now baked into the charter price, as are complimentary soft drinks and round-the-clock air conditioning. That last point matters more than people realise. The Dodecanese in July is glorious — and genuinely hot. Knowing your comfort is guaranteed, day and night, changes the entire feel of a charter holiday.
Rates run from €23,000 per week in May and October through to €28,000 at the height of summer — with the shoulder months of June and September sitting at €25,500. For a privately crewed gulet cruise with four or five professional crew, those numbers represent serious quality at a thoughtful price point.
The Dodecanese: Greece's Most Rewarding Cruising Ground
Aegean Schatz is based out of Kos and operates across the Dodecanese — frankly one of our favourite Greece yacht charter territories. This is an archipelago that rewards those willing to look beyond the headline islands. Rhodes dazzles with its medieval old town; Patmos carries a quiet spiritual gravitas that stays with you; Symi's pastel harbour is, honestly, one of the most beautiful anchorages in the entire Aegean. And then there are the smaller stops — Nisyros with its still-smouldering volcanic crater, Tilos, Halki — places where you genuinely feel like you've found something the crowds haven't yet reached.
The Dodecanese also benefits from reliable meltemi winds in summer that keep the heat manageable and the sailing brisk. A private yacht charter here isn't just beautiful — it's genuinely exhilarating.
What's Still Available in 2026
A good portion of peak summer is already committed — several August weeks around Kos are fully booked — which tells you something about how quickly quality yachts in this region fill up. But there is meaningful availability remaining across the season, particularly in the excellent shoulder months of late June, July gaps, and September. The Dodecanese in September is, in our view, close to perfection: warm water, fewer crowds, softer light, and a coastline that seems to exhale after the summer rush.
If a Greece gulet cruise has been on your radar — and perhaps kept being pushed back — Aegean Schatz in 2026 is a genuinely compelling reason to stop deferring. Our team is ready to walk you through the full booking picture, check specific dates, and talk you through the chef's menus for the season. Reach out, and let's start planning something worth remembering.
