Our “Spring Sailing in Greece” week is an informal flotilla group event, with the focus on having a fabulous fun holiday, catering for skilled and novice sailors alike – a fun and enjoyable experience.
We will be “sailing with friends” and “cruising in company” around the Sporades Islands, starting from Skiathos and continuing around taking in Skopelos, Loutraki, Panormos, Limonari/Agnontas, Patitiri (Alonnisos), and the marine national park at Kira Panagia.
This area, apart from being a fabulous sailing destination, has been made famous as the filming area for the first ABBA: MamaMia movie.
What is provided:
– an adventure holiday under sail in a relaxed atmosphere – a guided/planned sailing route with a supporting program of events and activities for all skippers and crew, yet still some time for your own personal/crew choice activities
– the priceless exchange of experience between “old hands” and “newcomers” – local coastal knowledge and exploration for all to enjoy and experience
– easy sailing for beginners, with opportunities for learning new skills
– fun challenge targets/races for seasoned charterers to “compete in company”
In short: it is a wonderful combination of a Greek holiday, enjoying sailing around some of the islands of the Sporades, also participating in some casually fun racing in a fun flotilla group!
The organisation and operation of this event will be handled by the experienced team within Sail Charter International.
SCI Spring Flotilla 2021
– Program Outline –
Day 1: Saturday 15th May 2021 – TRAVEL & ARRIVAL
Arrive at the marina wall in Skiathos during the afternoon (later than 16:00) and meet your flotilla representatives; then check-in and settle into your yacht. Explore Skiathos town, and return to the harbour/marina area to meet all together and enjoy the WELCOME meeting and evening event at one of the local restaurants.

Days 2 to 6: Sunday to Thursday.
Departing from Skiathos on Sunday morning we will proceed to explore around the Sporades Islands, well known as an island chain of both amazing natural geographical (land) and marine beauty, as well as having many location settings for the Abba “Mamma Mia” movie.
There will be a daily “skippers’ briefing” at 0900 to discuss the passages for the day and destination for the evening. Skippers can then either proceed independently for the day, exploring the coastal regions around the archipelago, or stay as a “fun group” weaving around each other, perhaps meeting and rafting for lunch, before proceeding on to our evening destination, where the whole flotilla should come together again between 1600-1800.
We will be “sailing with friends” and “cruising in company” around the Sporades Islands, starting from Skiathos (where the “Mamma Mia fathers” met on the jetty) and continuing around, taking in a selection of destinations from: Skopelos, (see the world famous church of Agios Ioannis Kastri on Skopelos where the Mamma Mia wedding scenes were filmed), Loutraki, Panormos, Limonari/Agnontas, Patitiri (Alonnisos), and the protected marine national park at Kira Panagia, where we spend a very special night at anchor under the stars, in the centre of a beautiful protected cove called “Planet Bay”.
Click on each bold/underlined destination above for its map location, then “zoom out” to see where it is.
The exact passage order will depend on flotilla operation in local conditions at the time, and especially wind/weather.
Day 7: Friday 21st May.
Leaving our final beautiful overnight spot, we make our last passage back to Skiathos for our final evening group dinner and your last night aboard your yacht.
