WEEKLY BAREBOAT CHARTER — DEPARTING FROM SKIATHOS, GREECE
This listing is for a weekly bareboat yacht charter departing from Skiathos, Greece — a prime sailing base in the Northern Aegean. Known for its turquoise waters, steady breezes, and protected anchorages, Skiathos is admired by sailors for offering a perfect balance between open-water passages and relaxing, calm bays ideal for swimming and anchoring. The marina is well-organized and provisioning is easy, making embarkation smooth and stress-free. Bareboat sailing here gives you the freedom to choose your anchorages, set your pace, and enjoy complete privacy while exploring the Aegean Sea independently.

With a bareboat charter, you are the captain of your adventure — free to design your own daily sailing plan, anchorages, and exploration stops. The sailing area is a mix of sheltered waters and open sea stretches, perfect for both relaxed cruising and a bit of thrilling sailing depending on your mood and weather. Sail early to enjoy calm morning winds or spend afternoons anchored in quiet coves — your route adapts to your preference. Embarkation takes place Saturday at 17:00 from Skiathos Marina with a full technical briefing, provisions loading, and overnight stay onboard.
