This experience, in a nutshell

Sailing in a flotilla on a sailing boat is a unique and unforgettable experience!

Are you curious to experience it too?

Come with us to discover the Sporades Islands!


We'll sail together aboard two catamarans between the fantastic and windy islands of the Aegean Sea.


We will set sail from Skiathos and sail under full sail among the thousand inlets of the islets that we will meet in the archipelago: Skopelos, Alonnisos, Peristera, Panagia and Skantzoura, within wonderful marine oases.


We will be able to savor the beauty of the solitary sun-kissed islands, dive into turquoise waters and enjoy the days in the cheerful company of new friends, up to aperitifs at sunset and dinners in the marinas or under the stars, before falling asleep in the roadstead in the moonlight in one of the many protected bays.


The Sporades (the toponym means scattered or scattered), mountainous islands dispersed in an extraordinarily clear sea, are divided into two groups: Northern Sporades, which we visit during the cruise and Eastern Sporades located along the coast of Asia Minor.

In its set of islands, the archipelago describes a sickle curve starting from the southern corner of the Trikeri peninsula to the north up to the small semi-submerged rock of Psathoura.


There are four main islands: Skiatos and Skopelos, the most touristy, Alonnisos and Skiros the most unspoiled together with numerous smaller uninhabited islands.

The Sporades are very green, the vegetation is one of their great strengths. It seems that the Sporades breathe deeply (and indeed they do) in their pine forests, which sometimes stop but only when the sea decides it.


The beautiful landscapes and beautiful sandy beaches attract more and more tourists to the archipelago's most easily accessible islands.

The Meltemi does not blow in the Northern Sporades as intensely as in the southernmost areas. It generally comes from the north-northeast, but its direction is greatly altered by the islands and the channels that separate them. The islands block much of the long sea that comes from the north. The combination of meltemi and flat seas along the sheltered shores of the islands makes sailing very exciting.


We are waiting for you to discover all this and much more!

Our itinerary

Our trip starts here:

Skiathos.

Check-in: 5:00 PM

Our trip ends here:

Skiathos.

Check-out: 9:00 AM

Leg 1

Skiathos

It is the only one closest to the mainland coast also called the Greek Riviera. Almost the entire population lives in the town of Skiathos. In recent years, the country of Skiathos has grown to become a sort of small Mykonos with discos, bars and good restaurants open until late at night. During the summer the resort is a destination for tourists attracted by the beautiful sandy beaches, however the atmosphere remains genuine and the inhabitants are friendly.

Leg 2

Skopelos

Like Skiathos, Skopelos is also densely covered with pine forests and very fertile. Vineyards, olive trees, almond trees, pears, lemons and plums are cultivated there, for which the island is renowned. It is cultivated more intensively than in Skiathos and the inhabitants are more conservative. The capital is Skopelos on the east coast of the island.

Loutraki is a small tourist resort and the quiet village of the past is now a destination for tourists from Skiathos, attracted by the beautiful beaches that stretch southeast of the marina. The new paved and shaded paths run around the harbour and lead to the seafront cafes in the village. The village above Glossa rewards the tiring climb, even if only to go to the Agnanti trattoria where the view and the cuisine are magnificent. 

Leg 3

Alonissos

Formerly known as Ilkos, this undulating and wooded island relies on donkeys, gulets or motor vehicles for transport. The old capital of Alonnisos, which rests on a hill in the south of the island, was almost abandoned following the violent earthquake of 1965. The inhabitants moved to Patitiri and Votsi, to return and renovate most of the houses in the village.

As with the other islands of the archipelago, the capital has been moved from the village on the hill to the port. Patitiri is a delightful town enclosed to the south by cliffs and pine-covered hills that attract an increasing number of tourists.

Alonissos benefited in part from the effect of the film Mamma Mia which involved in particular Skopelos and Skiathos, where it was filmed. Here the sea is so transparent that one wonders if it is real or not.

Leg 4

Peristeri-Panayia-Skantzoura

Only sailors arrive in Peristeri. The islet of Peristeri is the frontier for the marine park of the Northern Sporades, the solitary kingdom of the monk seal, Kri Kri goats (an ancient breed), cormorants, partridges and white geese. With the exception of Piperi, in the heart of the park, where navigation is allowed only three miles away from its coast, all the islands of the park can be visited.

All the islets are fabulous, the sea is beautiful and the coves where you drop anchor are so inviting that you don't want to leave!

The itinerary may be subject to changes due to weather conditions and/or technical or logistical reasons, in order to ensure safety and a pleasant sailing experience for all participants.

It was my first sailing trip and it was fantastic. Everything was perfect, Giuseppe organized everything with attention, including the choice of crew. All nice people, helpful and cooperative. Giuseppe has a great deal of experience in organizing these holidays and an excellent organization behind him. The islands we visited are beautiful and the weather was also nice ... (but perhaps this did not depend on Joseph) :) :) Thank you Francis of Rome

10 days of pure relaxation and comfort in the Dodecanese (1st Round)

If you are looking for a holiday that combines fun, adventure, relaxation and new friendships you have found what is right for you! My girlfriend and I boarded without knowing anyone from the crew and it was amazing. We got to make some great friends and have a lot of fun. The skipper was great! He took us to heavenly places and proved to be extremely helpful in all kinds of situations. During the day we moved to different places to swim and visit beautiful islands, while in the evening we usually ate in very special taverns. Good food and company made the evenings magnificent! I honestly recommend everyone to try such an experience! You will probably stop spending your holidays on crowded beaches to prefer the boat even in the following years. As already mentioned, the skipper was amazing and contributed a lot to making the holiday perfect! Thank you very much :) :) :)

Organization decidedly lacking if not non-existent; holiday sold as a flotilla but the chief skipper (Giuseppe) was more than evident, he was only interested in the people on his catamaran that he deliberately kept detached from the people, only to say that they were the ones who wanted it that way, but in reality, talking occasionally with some girls, it emerged that this was absolutely not true. Giuseppe also showed little professionalism in managing the problems that arose with customers, disregarding the objections made on the strength of the fact that he had already collected the money. One of the catamarans was sent to sail even though it was known that it had damage to the sails which compromised its navigation without an engine and this is not acceptable. In the 46-foot sailboat he has placed 10 people plus the skipper (11), among other things, two places on the side absolutely impassable for an adult. Dennis
