Yachts on flotilla sailing sailing together during a flotilla sailing holiday, Poros, Greece
Flotilla sailing holidays
Sail individually, but as a member of a small group of yachts. Flotilla holidays are ideal for families with younger children, those who feel having a lead boat and advice readily to hand helps them and those new to yacht chartering

Bareboat yacht charter
Skipper your own yacht and sail wherever & for however long you wish, only needing to return to the yacht charter base at the end of your charter. The yacht charter equivalent of renting a car!
 
Enjoy your own yacht charter & route, but let the skipper worry about the yacht during a skippered charter sailing holiday
Skippered & assisted (or crewed) yacht charter
Charter your own yacht & have the freedom of a bareboat yacht charter, but with the assistance of a skipper or crew member to help you. Excellent if you are short-crewed, a little rusty or a otherwise uncertain about skippering yourself
 
Enjoy the sun & let the skipper take the strain during a cabin charter sailing holiday
Cabin charter
Charter a cabin or just a single berth & sail with other ‘cabin charterers’, sailing under the guidance of a skipper. Excellent if you want to enjoy the sun, not worry about managing the yacht, but are interested in ‘helping out’ with the sailing
 
Enjoy a sailing course in the sun & learn to sail
Join a training yacht with other students, or organise a group of friends or family and charter your own yacht, all learning together & leave Greece with ‘Competent Crew’, ‘Day SKipper’ or other sailing qualification
 
Split your sailing holiday between time afloat in on your own yacht charter & time in a villa, apartment or hotel
Sail & Stay sailing holidays
Spread your holiday between a week sailing and a week in a villa, apartment or hotel that we organise for you. Of course, you can also simply stop-over in Athens en route to or from us and enjoy one of the great capitals of the ancient world

Yacht charters & flotilla sailing holidays from Poros, Greece

Whatever type of yacht charter or sailing holiday you opt for, Poros is the ideal starting point. A quiet quay with local eating establishments, traditional fishermen as your neighbours, ferries shuffling to and fro, easy sailing to your chosen area and easy access to Athens airport by the direct ferry service.

Spare yourself the nightmare of starting your yacht charter or sailing holiday from one of Athens’ noisy coastal ports such as Kalamaki or Lavrio; start your sailing holiday the moment you step off the ferry, not the next day.

Enjoy the beginning and end of your sailing holiday by wandering the quayside restaurants & bars of Poros or shopping in the winding streets. You even save yourself the long beat back north to base against the Meltemi.

Rod Heikell’s West Aegean pilot guide describes Poros by saying; “The approach to the town is one of the most attractive in Greece...” and goes on, “...it has something else other than the appearance of a little Greek Venice, it has a sensuality, a calm, and what can only be described as a conviviality...”. But Rod Heikell is not alone, Lawrence Durrell, described it as “the happiest place I have ever known” and in her “Greek Odyssey” series, Joanna Lumley reveals how her love affair with Greece started with a chance visit to Poros; “It was just enchanting...the best holiday ever”. What better place to start and end your sailing holiday!

Whichever way you look at it, Poros is well worth the extra hour of travel to make the most from your sailing holiday and yacht charter and experience the best sailing in Greece.
