We offer weekly charters from our main base in Volos (operating all year round) and from our second base in Loutraki, Skopelos Island (operating mid May to early October). Some of our yachts are allocated to our Volos base and others to our Loutraki base (as seen on the price list).
For charter requests from Skiathos, we highly advise chartering from our base in Loutraki harbour instead (opposite Skiathos Port). It is more relaxed, we have facilities there (including showers, wifi and safe luggage storage) and can provide a better service. Loutraki is only a 20-minute ferry ride from Skiathos Port.
Charters start on Saturdays or Fridays (for some yachts and depending on availability). Our flotilla-operated yachts can only be chartered on Fridays and from our Loutraki base.
Your yacht will be prepared with a full inventory – check-in is at 17:00 and check-out at 09:00.
The same principle as when you rent a car applies – you receive the yacht with a full tank of fuel and then you pay only for the fuel that you have used at the end of your trip.
Yachts come with full safety and navigation equipment, including life jackets, flares, VHF, GPS, life raft, autopilot, EPIRB, charts and pilot book for the region.
There are no mooring fees at our Volos base or Loutraki base where you may spend the first and last night of the charter.
There are various small fees of around 5€ in the Sporades Islands.
If you should wish to moor at our Loutraki base during the charter, the following fees apply:
Please note that water and electricity are not included (pillar cards for water re-fill and shore power connection will need to be purchased separately).
If you are booking a bareboat charter or flotilla, you must hold a qualified skipper licence – day skipper competent level (from a recognised body) or an International Certificate of Competence (ICC) as a skipper – and have adequate sailing experience. You should also have a co-skipper at competent crew certificate level or with appropriate experience.
