There are sailboats, and then there are sailing yachts. Gitana falls firmly into the latter camp — and right now, she's one of the finest opportunities in Greece yacht charter this autumn season. A 36-metre Perini Navi built in 1989 and thoughtfully refit in 2015, she carries the quiet authority of a vessel that has been loved properly. Sleek, purposeful, classically proportioned. The kind of yacht that turns heads in every harbour she enters.
Our team is delighted to share that Gitana is fully available for September and October, with a 20% discount on weekly charters. That's a meaningful saving on a private yacht charter experience that is, frankly, unlike most others on the market — not just because of the yacht herself, but because of what she stands for.
A Luxury Gulet Charter With a Conscience
Here's the detail that genuinely moved us: Gitana's owner donates all charter proceeds to charity. Every euro spent aboard goes somewhere worthwhile. That's not a marketing line — it's a rare and remarkable commitment, and it adds a layer of meaning to an already exceptional charter holiday. You're not just booking a week in the Aegean. You're funding something good.
The yacht accommodates up to nine guests across three staterooms, with a dedicated crew of six to see to every need. That crew-to-guest ratio is generous by any measure — and it shows in the reviews.
"Ευχαριστώ — your warmth and hospitality made our first trip to Greece so wonderful! We fell in love with your incredible country and already can't wait to return. From the exceptionally delicious meals to the majestic sea caves, we will cherish our time onboard."
— Guests, June 2026
That review says everything. Kimolos, Spetses, Hydra — three islands that tell three very different stories about Greece, and all of them within reach aboard Gitana.
The Cyclades in September and October
We'll be honest: September and October are our favourite months for a Greece yacht charter, and we suspect they'll become yours too. The summer crowds have dissolved. The meltemi wind has softened. Tavernas are still open, the sea is still warm — often warmer than July, in fact — and the light turns golden in a way that's almost unfair in its beauty.
Gitana operates in the Cyclades — an archipelago that, coastline for coastline, is genuinely unmatched in the Mediterranean. Think volcanic drama at Santorini, whitewashed serenity on Folegandros, the quiet magic of Kimolos (still barely discovered, still perfectly itself). Then swing south to the Saronic Gulf — Hydra's car-free stone lanes, Spetses with her horse-drawn carriages and pine-scented air. Each island is its own world. Gitana gives you the freedom to collect them all.
At 11.5 knots under sail, she moves with purpose between anchorages. But honestly, you'll find yourself in no great hurry. When a sea cave appears off the port bow, the swim platform beckons. When the afternoon light hits a hillside monastery just so, the crew will find the right spot to anchor and pour something cold.
The Yacht Herself
Perini Navi built her in 1989 — a yard with a reputation for engineering sailing yachts that age extraordinarily well. The 2015 refit brought her systems and interiors up to modern standards without stripping away the character that makes a vessel like this special. At 7.60 metres of beam, she's wide enough for genuine comfort; at 36 metres, she's substantial without being unwieldy in smaller Greek harbours.
Three staterooms for nine guests means a full family, a group of close friends, or a couple travelling with their inner circle. The year-round crew — six of them — are clearly the kind of people who remember how you take your coffee and which island church you most wanted to climb to. That detail in the June guest review — "scaling the mountain to the hilltop church" — tells you something about a crew that goes beyond the expected.
Don't Let This One Slip
A 20% discount on a luxury charter holiday of this calibre — aboard a Perini Navi, in the Cyclades, with proceeds going to charity, in September and October's perfect sailing conditions — is the kind of offer that fills fast once word gets out. September and October dates are limited, and Gitana is fully available right now.
