Sporades & Skiathos Flotilla

Experience lush green islands, crystal clear waters and Aegean breezes

If you have already experienced the delights of sailing in the Ionian and the Saronic Gulf, why not try one of our more challenging sailing areas, the Northern Sporades?

With fresh breezes, which strengthen in the summer Meltemi winds, the open waters of the Sporades offer excellent sailing. The end of each day on the water rewards you with a wonderful mix of cosmopolitan towns on our island route, such as Skiathos and Skopelos as well as sleepy little hamlets like Steni Vala and deserted island bays such as Kyra Panagia.

For culture vultures you can visit some of the locations for the hit movie “Mamma Mia” or anchor up and relax on one of the stunning sandy beaches.

The contrasting Pelion route explores the Gulf of Volos and its islands as well as the northern part of Evvia island. Paleo Trikeri and “Donkey” island are must see destinations as you explore the crystal clear waters on your Sporades flotilla holiday.

Key Features

  • Average daily distance 15nm
  • Yacht prices from £1,895
  • More challenging meltemi sailing
  • May to October
  • Yachts from 33 to 51ft

Area Information

The Sporades, nestled in the azure waters of the Aegean Sea, are a sailor’s paradise, renowned for their unspoiled beauty and ideal sailing conditions. The archipelago’s scattered layout creates an enticing maze of islands that are perfect for exploration by boat. With steady breezes and numerous safe harbors and secluded coves, the region is tailor-made for leisurely days spent sailing from one charming island to another. The crystal-clear waters invite sailors to anchor and swim off their boats, while the panoramic vistas of lush greenery and rugged coastlines provide a stunning backdrop to every voyage. Sailing in the Sporades not only promises adventure but also an escape into serene, natural beauty that captivates and relaxes in equal measure.

Our Eastern route explores Skopelos further before heading to Alonissos and the stunning islands of its marine park while the western route heads first to Skiathos before travelling to the bay of Volos and the island of Evia.

Sporades Flotilla Map

Weather & Sailing Conditions

Reliable sunshine and good sailing winds with flat seas along the southern side of the Islands. The temperature ranges from the low 20’s at the beginning and end of season to the high 30s in August. Moderate to fresh winds force 3-6, the upper range being during the late July and August Meltemi season. Great for experienced sailors.

Note: Sporades flotilla routes may vary during the season according to weather and operating conditions. Our flotilla crew will keep you fully briefed each day.

Routes

The Sporades Flotilla runs two separate routes with odd weeks sailing the Sporades Route and even weeks sailing the Pelion Route. Full details of these two routes are below, please note you can combine the two into an epic two week holiday.

Meet the Crew

Timothy Cotgrove

Tim Cotgrove – Flotilla Skipper

Tim joins Seafarer for the 2025 season after a long and successful career in vehicle testing and automotive engineering. Having completed his Yachtmaster quite recently, he is eager to put his well-established leadership and management skills to use whilst guiding our hugely successful Sporades flotilla around the islands and coast of the Northern Aegean.

Aspa Papadimitriou

Aspa Papadimitriou – Flotilla Skipper

We are delighted that Aspa has returned to us for her 3rd season in 2025. She has previously worked on our Ionian, Saronic and Split flotillas and has a wealth of local knowledge to share. As a native Greek, she obviously understands the history and culture of this beautiful country and can’t wait to explore a new area and to bring the best of the northern Aegean to your flotilla holiday.

Skippered Flotilla Sailing

While these yachts are generally skippered by guests themselves who hold the correct qualifications we can also provide a skipper for those with no prior sailing experience. This will still have all the benefits of sailing as part of a flotilla, meeting others in the evenings or during the day, organised activities for the kids as well as all the usual benefits of yachting, like exploring, swimming in secluded bays during the day, and the simple joy of travelling under sail. Click here for more details.
