With its picturesque islands, reliable winds, and a myriad of charming anchorages, the Cyclades provide an idyllic playground for sailors, where they can explore secluded coves, discover ancient ruins, and soak in the captivating beauty of this enchanting Greek archipelago. This area, best known for its blue & white villages offers an amazing variety of places to visit by yacht with famous destinations vying with hidden spots making it perfect for an AHOY Adventure. Read on for how our shared, skippered adventures work in these spectacular islands.
The Aegean’s wind patterns provide ideal conditions for a thrilling sailing adventure, with breezes ranging from force 2 to 5 during the early and late parts of the season. In August and early September, the North-blowing Meltemi wind brings slightly stronger winds. From April to October, the Cyclades Islands experience a Mediterranean climate characterised by long, sunny days, warm temperatures, and minimal rainfall. During this period, visitors can expect delightful weather, clear skies, and the cooling Aegean breezes to take you from island to island.
Our Ocean Star yachts are perfectly suited for exploring the breathtaking Cyclades Islands in the Aegean Sea. With their modern navigation and safety equipment, these licensed charter yachts provide a safe and comfortable journey. Offering two double and two twin air-conditioned guest cabins with en suite shower/wc, along with a separate crew cabin, they ensure ample accommodation.
They have a well-equipped kitchen, complete with two large fridges and a gas cooker, which allows for easy meal preparation, while the spacious saloon and dining area provide a comfortable setting for relaxation. Additionally, the yachts feature a music system in both the saloon and cockpit, including an auxiliary input, creating a lively atmosphere.
