The cause of her death has not yet been confirmed.
She was found in a critical condition on the boat and transferred to a local hospital but later died on the way to Hygeia hospital in Athens, local media is reporting.
Greek authorities are currently investigating her death.
Ms McNamara's mother is reportedly travelling to Greece and a spokeswoman for the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said it is providing consular assistance to Ms McNamara's family.
Ms McNamara, who was born and raised in Port Macquarie and lived in Sydney, arrived in Greece in mid-June this year after travelling to Bali, Alaska and the Whitsundays.
Ms McNamara graduated from Northern Beaches Secondary College Freshwater Senior Campus in 2016 and turned 20 about four weeks before her death.
Her last Instagram post was from the Greek island of Kefalonia and has since been inundated with tributes from her friends and followers.
