Yacht charter in the Sporades archipelago in Greece

To make the most of the most beautiful places on earth, and above all the sea, chartering a private yacht with a crew is the best way. Luxury, comfort and freedom will be at your service, for a dream holiday in the Sporades Islands, Greece‘s well-known archipelago in the Aegean Sea.

The Sporades Islands by yacht: sailing in a historic archipelago

Lana, Imperial Yachts, Malta

The Sporades archipelago is made up of 11 islands scattered across the Aegean Sea, unlike the Cyclades. If you want to explore them with maximum freedom, you’ll need a water-based means of transport. For the perfect holiday, you can hire a luxury yacht and set off on an adventure with your family or as a couple.

The archipelago is full of wonders: churches, monasteries, picturesque villages… There are also underwater treasures to discover by diving, or simply to admire with the whole family from the deck of your yacht.

Dock at Alonissos and discover its underwater archaeological park

Situated in the south of Thessaly, the beloved homeland of Jason and the Argonauts, Alonissos is only easily accessible by boat. So moor your yacht in the harbour and get organised for some discovering.

As well as its typical villages and numerous hiking spots, you’ll have the chance to visit its underwater archaeological museum, which opened in 2020. The waters of Alonissos are home to hundreds of species of fish, which you can observe on a family dive. For the more adventurous, a shipwreck dating back to the 5th century BC can also be seen when conditions allow. At the end of the day, why not treat yourself to a delicious local meal? You can enjoy it on the spot to take in the friendly atmosphere, or take it on board your yacht to enjoy a more distant and intimate view of the panorama.

Skopelos, its colourful village and photogenic church

Less well known than its sister islands, Skopelos is home to a very typical village of the same name. Steep, cobbled streets surrounded by houses with chalk-white walls and windows painted in bright, pure colours. It’s a wonderful place to take a stroll with the family or as a romantic getaway once you’ve landed on the island. It is also full of original monasteries and folk museums…

Finally, the church of Agios Ioannis Kastri, which overlooks a rocky outcrop, has become famous in recent years for appearing in the wedding scene in the film Mamma Mia. It has been one of the site’s major attractions ever since. You can easily see it from the deck or cabin of your luxury yacht, giving you a view of the religious building from an angle that few tourists get to admire.

Stafilos, a heavenly beach surrounded by forests

Stafilos beach is the ideal anchorage for a family swim with the kids. The shallow waters are lagoon-blue, and the beach is surrounded by emerald-green forests that stand out against the azure sky. So drop anchor in this bay and ask the crew for buoys, inflatables and all the equipment you need to enjoy your stopover on one of Greece’s most beautiful beaches. A relaxing holiday, between the luxury of your yacht and the luxuriance of your destination.

Accommodation in the Sporades

The great thing about chartering a yacht for your holiday in the Sporades is that you won’t have any trouble finding somewhere to stay. Your luxury hotel will move to suit your every whim and accompany you throughout your journey, waiting patiently in port for your excursions and land outings. On board, you’ll enjoy all the benefits of a true palace. Spacious, comfortable cabins, sea views wherever you are, romantic dinners under the stars with the Greek sky as your only witness… Visiting the Sporades islands has never been so enjoyable. A trip that combines luxury, adventure and culture, for unforgettable moments.

Skiathos: partying in the Sporades

As the archipelago’s main tourist destination, Skiathos is the closest you’ll get to the atmosphere of the French Riviera. A cosmopolitan atmosphere, numerous restaurants and bars, and a young, dynamic clientele attracted by the many sporting and water sports activities on offer. Once your yacht is moored in the port of Skiathos, you’ll have plenty of time to walkabout the town, browse the shops and sample the local specialities… Before returning to your luxurious cabin in the evening for a nightcap with friends and a panoramic view of the town and its mountainous backdrop.

For a cultural, adventurous, family or simply romantic holiday, chartering a yacht in the Sporades is a dream within reach, one that will leave you with many memories.
