Why the Sporades Islands?

The Sporades are Greek islands located in the Aegean Sea. The islands of Skiathos, Skopelos and Skiros are becoming more and more popular among tourists every year, thanks to the picturesque beaches, beautiful architecture and the atmosphere that prevails in Greek towns. While on holiday in the Sporades Islands, you can feel that time has stopped, because life goes on at its own pace. During the day, Greek towns are quiet and peaceful, and in the evening music resounds in them, and local taverns are filled to the brim. However, the true beauty of the islands can be seen by chartering yachts or renting boats, because only in this way are we able to reach pristine coves and admire the picturesque beaches.

How to charter a yacht in the Sporades Islands?

When chartering a yacht in Greece, you must have at least a yacht helmsman's license. In addition, the presence of a co-skipper, i.e. a person with sailing experience, is also required, which is related to the high degree of difficulty of sailing in Greek waters. Interestingly, in Greece it is not necessary to hold a VHF radio operator certificate (SRC). However, if you do not have the appropriate permissions, you can charter a yacht with a skipper who will take care of the safety of the entire crew.
