A private charter should feel straightforward before you ever step aboard. This page explains how the process works from choosing dates through embarkation, and which parts remain flexible along the way.
The Process
01
Choose your dates
Start with one or more consecutive available weeks. The pricing table can send the selected range directly into the inquiry form.
02
Shape the experience
Use a sample itinerary, build a custom route, or simply tell us the pace and island groups you are interested in. Nothing needs to be perfect at this stage.
03
Send the inquiry
Your inquiry gives us the dates, guest count and preferences needed to check the charter and prepare the next steps. An inquiry is not a binding booking.
04
Receive the written offer
Availability, charter fee, VAT treatment, skipper or crew costs, included items, payment terms and any agreed extras are confirmed in writing.
05
Confirm the charter
The charter becomes confirmed under the applicable booking documents and payment terms—not from the website calculator or inquiry form alone.
06
Plan the details
After confirmation we can finalize arrival logistics, provisioning, guest preferences, optional hostess service and the practical route framework.
07
Embark
Meet the boat and captain, review the plan and safety information, and adapt the itinerary as conditions and guest preferences evolve.
Flexible
What can still change?
Island order, swim stops, dining plans, time ashore and the daily pace can usually be refined after the initial inquiry. Weather and sea state can also require route changes during the charter.
Confirmed in Writing
What becomes contractual?
The final charter dates, agreed price, VAT, crew arrangements, payment schedule, cancellation terms and other contractual details are governed by the written charter documents—not by sample itineraries or website estimates.
Good to Know
You do not need an itinerary first.
If you know the dates and the kind of trip you want, that is enough to start. We can use the route tools and destination guide together after the inquiry.

Website & Charter Inquiry Terms
Website & Charter Inquiry Terms
Last updated: September 2026
These terms govern use of the Moondance website and submission of charter inquiries. A website inquiry is a request for information and availability; it does not by itself create a binding charter agreement.
1. Availability and contract formation
Availability, itinerary, crew, pricing and extras are subject to written confirmation. A charter becomes binding only under the applicable booking confirmation or charter agreement and its payment terms.
2. Prices
Displayed charter prices exclude VAT. For qualifying commercial crewed charters longer than 48 hours, Greek VAT is generally 13% on the charter fee. Day cruises and other charters of 48 hours or less, bareboat arrangements and certain other cases generally fall under the 24% standard rate. The exact VAT charged is confirmed in the written offer, charter agreement or invoice and may differ where a lawful certification-based reduction applies. Additional crew, cleaning, provisioning, fuel, port or marina charges and other extras are separate where shown. Promotional discounts apply only to the dates and conditions displayed and may be withdrawn or changed before a booking is confirmed.
3. Routes and weather
Published routes and passage estimates are illustrative. The captain may change routing, departure or anchorage plans for weather, sea state, port restrictions, safety or operational reasons.
4. Website information
We aim to keep vessel information, availability and prices accurate, but website content may change. The final written charter offer and signed booking documents prevail if there is any inconsistency.
5. Intellectual property
Website design, text, photographs, logos and other content may not be reproduced or commercially reused without permission except where permitted by law.
6. External services
The website may rely on third-party hosting, mapping, fonts, email or other technical services. Their availability and terms are outside our direct control.
7. Governing law
Unless mandatory consumer law requires otherwise, these website terms are governed by Greek law. The governing law and dispute provisions in the final charter agreement control the charter itself.
Accessibility Statement
Last updated: September 2026
Moondance aims to provide a website that can be used by as many people as possible, including visitors using keyboards, screen readers, zoom and mobile devices.
1. Accessibility approach
The website is designed with semantic structure, visible keyboard focus, labelled form fields, responsive layouts, accessible dialogs and keyboard-operable interactive controls. Interactive maps are supplemental; core destination and itinerary information is also provided in text.
2. Current limitations
Third-party map tiles, externally hosted media and content entered through WordPress can affect accessibility. We review these areas and aim to improve issues when identified.
3. Assistance
If you cannot access information or complete an inquiry because of an accessibility issue, contact us at info@moondance-cat.com and we will provide the information in an alternative format where reasonably possible.
4. Feedback
