Greece has long been a dream destination for LGBTQ+ travelers: shimmering blue seas, white-washed villages tumbling down hillsides, hidden coves that beg to be explored, and sunsets that stop you in your tracks. But beyond the classic postcard scenes, a fresh trend is setting sail and catching the attention of LGBTQ+ travelers worldwide — multi-day catamaran tours.
So why the surge? Privacy and intimacy are at the heart of it. A catamaran is more than just a boat; it’s a floating sanctuary. With wide decks, spacious cabins, and secluded anchorages, it offers the freedom to travel with your partner, your friends, or a group of like-minded people – in a safe, relaxed space where you can simply be yourself.
The stats say it all: catamaran and sailboat charters in Greece doubled in 2022, and the country now leads the global yacht charter market. Longer sailing seasons, better marina facilities, and a rise in fully crewed options make it easier than ever to hop between islands. And with itineraries designed around both relaxation and nightlife, the appeal for the LGBTQ+ market is obvious.
Catamarans are perfect for group travel. Their stability makes for smooth sailing, shallow drafts allow access to secret bays, and the generous outdoor spaces invite everything from morning yoga to sunset cocktails, from bronzing in the sun to dancing under the stars. Add an LGBTQ+ friendly crew and flexible itineraries, and you’ve got a recipe for a holiday that blends freedom, fun, and fabulous memories.
What makes it even more exciting is the growing number of LGBTQ+ friendly options. From private gay charters to fully hosted theme cruises, operators are tuning in to what travellers want. Picture it: a hidden beach to yourselves by day, Mykonos’ legendary nightlife by night, and sunsets shared with only your chosen circle.
As Greece continues to top the global charts as a sailing hub, the opportunities for LGBTQ+ travelers expand with it. For those seeking adventure, intimacy, and a dash of glamour on the high seas, multi-day catamaran sailing in Greece is more than just a holiday – it’s the ultimate gay escape.
What’s the price? The price is generally in line with a standard luxury high-end vacation. However, the experience is something just that little bit extra special.
