Motor yacht charter in Mykonos
Four motor yachts between 17 and 22 metres long, so Rhenia, Delos and the beaches of the south all fit inside one outing.
Book a motor yacht charter in Mykonos when pace matters most. Cruising at around 25 knots, the hops between coves shrink to minutes, so one day can take in ancient Delos, a swim off Rhenia and dinner back in Chora. Wind direction bothers a motorboat far less than it does a sailing yacht, and the cool saloon earns its keep at midday.
Each of the four boats answers a different brief. The Azimut 55 Fly — flybridge, three cabins — is the all-rounder for families and friends travelling together. The Riva 56' Rivale, with its signature lines, varnished woodwork and sliding hardtop, gets booked when the arrival at Psarou counts. At almost 21 metres, the four-cabin Sunseeker Manhattan 66 is made for an overnight run to Tinos, Paros or Naxos, whereas the Pershing 70 passes 40 knots and suits anyone stringing several islands together.
By day all four accept a dozen guests. The Azimut and the Riva go out with two crew, a skipper plus deckhand, while the Sunseeker and Pershing carry three. Expect a four-hour minimum on the smaller pair; the bigger yachts are generally taken for whole days, and the written offer pins down the details.

Where you go
The motor fleet berths at Mykonos New Port in Tourlos or collects from Ornos Bay, and anyone lounging on Platis Gialos can be fetched by tender. A standard day traces the southern shore past Psarou, Paradise and Elia before heading for Delos and Rhenia's lee side. Aboard the Sunseeker or Pershing the loop stretches easily to Tinos.

When to go
Charters run May through October, and the sea tends to be gentlest at either end of the summer, around June or September. Once the meltemi sets in over the hottest weeks the captain hugs the protected south; start early and finish at anchor off the windmills of Chora.
Motor yacht charter in Mykonos: FAQ
Which of the four reaches Delos quickest?
Top speed belongs to the Pershing 70, at more than 40 knots. The Riva 56' Rivale manages 38, and the Azimut 55 Fly, cruising near 25, needs roughly forty minutes. Those differences only start to count once several islands are on the agenda.
Can we sleep on board?
Yes — the cabin models are regularly booked that way. The Sunseeker has four cabins, the Pershing and Azimut three apiece, and nights are spent anchored in a bay or berthed on a nearby island. Each operator confirms whether an overnight works and under which conditions.
What if the meltemi blows?
The skipper re-routes along the southern coves and Rhenia's lee, where the swell drops noticeably. Because a fast hull crosses open water quickly, passages stay bearable. When the forecast is plainly bad, the date moves according to the conditions written into your offer.
