A 50 to 60m motor yacht running Mykonos in the 2026 peak window (mid-June to early September) carries a weekly rate of $390,000 to $635,000 plus 28 to 30 percent APA, takes 10 to 12 guests on the 6-cabin standard, and runs 14 to 17 crew. Mykonos is structurally a two to three-night leg inside the Cyclades week and the bracket runs the Tourlos new-port stern-to or the Ornos and Super Spot at-anchor positions through the meltemi window. The Tourlos west-quay 55m line holds 3 to 5 large yachts on prior arrangement and the captain's prior windward stern-to tenure is the structural broker-side question at the bracket. Roughly 12 to 18 yachts in this LOA touch Mykonos in any given peak week through the season, with the structural fleet running the wider Athens-Cyclades programme rather than holding the Mykonos overnight on a hard repeat.
Why the bracket runs Mykonos
The Tourlos new port. The 2018 expansion at Tourlos added the western quay 55m stern-to line and the bracket runs the windward stern-to on prior arrangement through the season. The new port is structurally exposed to the meltemi northerly through the July 20 to August 25 window and the bracket holds the stern-to on the at-anchor stabilizers and the captain's prior tenure on the wind-on-the-quarter berthing brief. The supplementary anchor positions at Ornos (south coast, 15 to 22 metres on sand), Platis Gialos, and Super Spot sit on the meltemi-leeward face and run the structural overnight in the wind window. The Mykonos old port at Chora carries no bracket-fit berth.
The shore programme. The Mykonos chain runs Nammos at Psarou, Scorpios at Paraga, Principote at Panormos, JackieO at Super Spot, Alemagou at Ftelia, and Spilia at Agia Anna. The dressed-evening brief sits across the south-coast restaurants in July and August. The chief stew's Mykonos shore-restaurant bench is the structural broker-side question: the Nammos and Scorpios reservation desk at the August peak runs at three-week lead on the bracket and the stew clears the booking line in a morning. Confirm at inquiry.
The meltemi. The Aegean summer northerly runs structurally July 20 to August 25 at 25 to 35 knots through the day, gusting 40-plus on the open Mykonos-to-Paros and Mykonos-to-Santorini transits. The bracket carries the meltemi underway without the structural compromise the 30 to 40m bracket runs at peak, but the at-anchor stabilizers and the windward stern-to at Tourlos are load-bearing. The Greek captain's prior July and August Mykonos tenure is the variable. Confirm at inquiry or hold the overnight at Ornos and the new port for the dressed-evening drop-off only.
What you actually get in this bracket at Mykonos
Cabins. Six standard. The 6-cabin layout is the structural Cyclades family week at the bracket. The 7-cabin upper-end runs the multi-family fortnight that bolts Mykonos onto the Sporades or the Saronic.
Crew. Fourteen to seventeen. Greek-flag charter list dominates the Mykonos fleet and the chief stew plus the captain hold the Greek-language operational fluency on the new-port and the shore-restaurant programme. The chef matters: Mykonos onboard food competes directly with the south-coast shore programme on the off-shore evenings, and the chef on the bracket holds prior Cyclades season tenure with a Greek-Aegean focus that travels across the table.
Tenders. Primary 10 to 12m for the Tourlos shuttle to the new-port dressed-evening run and the Chora old-port arts shuttle, secondary 7 to 8m for the at-anchor lunch programme at Ornos and Super Spot, plus a chase boat for the meltemi-window water-sports brief. The bracket runs the tender programme hard through the Mykonos two-to-three-night leg.
At-anchor stabilizers. Load-bearing. The Tourlos new-port windward stern-to and the Ornos south-coast overnight both run the at-anchor stabilizers hard through the meltemi window. Confirm the zero-speed stabilizer product on the 2018-and-newer hulls.
Beach club. Required at Mykonos. The bracket runs the beach club open at the Ornos and Platis Gialos anchor positions through the swim window. The 2020-and-newer beach-club hulls run the supplementary fold-out terraces and the swim platform width that the Cyclades anchor product rewards.
Helipad. Cat A useful, structural at the upper end. The Athens-to-Mykonos 35-minute and Mykonos-to-Santorini 15-minute helicopter rotations run the inbound, outbound, and the inter-cluster transit on the multi-rotation brief.
Trip shape that fits the bracket
Mykonos is a leg inside the Cyclades week at the bracket, not a stand-alone hold. The structural 7-night Cyclades runs Athens (Lavrion or Flisvos) two nights Mykonos (Tourlos and Ornos), one night Paros Naoussa, two nights Santorini and Ios, one night Syros or Kea, return Lavrion. The Mykonos leg holds the dressed-evening shore brief on night one (Nammos or Scorpios) and the leeward anchor overnight on night two (Ornos or Super Spot). The supplementary 3-night Mykonos hold sits at the new port for the August peak when the Tourlos slot has been booked at contract and the bracket commits to the windward stern-to through the wind window with the upper-end captain bench.
For the 10-night charter the Mykonos leg runs three nights with one additional shore-restaurant evening at Principote or Alemagou and one supplementary day-call to Delos for the archaeological tour. For destination context see Charter Mykonos, Charter Cyclades, and the Day charter Mykonos reference for the supplementary day-boat add-on.
What the bracket does not do well at Mykonos
The Tourlos new port at the August 5 to 18 peak in the windward stern-to without a captain bench. The new port runs structurally exposed to the meltemi northerly and the bracket holds the windward stern-to with the at-anchor stabilizers and the captain's prior tenure. We would pass on any Tourlos August peak inclusion that does not confirm the captain's prior new-port windward tenure in writing.
Single-night Mykonos holds. Mykonos at the bracket needs the two-night structural leg to read the south-coast anchor product against the new-port dressed evening. The single-night Mykonos hold flattens the trip rhythm and forces the dressed-evening into the same window as the embarkation, which the bracket does not handle well.
The Chora old-port overnight. The old port runs no 55m line and the structural overnight runs at Tourlos or at anchor. Broker representations otherwise should be questioned at inquiry.
