What an amazing holiday it was.

A group of us booked a catamaran and it was just perfect - the organization, the boat itself with lots of space & great facilities. The skipper was superb, letting us know the best spots on the islands... Big thanks to Seamaster!

Seamaster always deliver!

Yet another amazing trip with Seamaster! They always find us the ideal boat, even with last-minute plan changes. This time, travel restrictions redirected our long-awaited Sardinia adventure to the Ionian, but it was still an unforgettable week.

Thank you so much!

Our holiday was brilliant. We had the best week. In particular, the crew were fantastic. The chef, Kim, was a very talented lady, and Aggolos the skipper and Dora were the nicest people. They really made our week special.

An unforgettable holiday

We just returned from an unforgettable 40th birthday celebration (7 friends) in the Saronic Islands. It was pure freedom and escapism! We had no idea what to expect, but Tim Anderson assured us we'd have the time of our lives—and he was absolutely right!

Everyone absolutely loved it!

Words cannot describe enough just how much we enjoyed our first sailing holiday to Croatia. We literally had the greatest time… our skipper was fabulous (Nik) and became part of the family. Nobody wanted to come home!

Cyclades Islands Sailing Itineraries

1 Week - Mykonos Route ( via Sifnos)

Day 1 - Mykonos (Mykonos Island)

Along with Athens and Corfu, Mykonos is probably one of the most well known places in Greece. Famed for its cosmopolitan atmosphere, exciting nightlife and picturesque architecture it is a must visit place for anyone sailing in this area. The island is located in the heart of the Cyclades and promises vistors plenty of things to do. We'd recommend hunting out Little Venice or perhaps one of the renowned beaches.

Day 2 - Naxos (Naxos Island)

The largest of the Cyclades, Naxos packs a lot of bang for its buck. Its main city of Hora is a web of steep cobbled alleys, filled with the hubbub of tourism and shopping. Yet you needn't travel far to find isolated beaches, atmospheric villages and ancient sites. It is a big beautiful island, rich in agriculture, tradition and some of the finest beaches in the Cyclades.

Day 3 - Nauosa (Paros Island)

Nauosa is considered to be one of the prettiest villages in the Cyclades. The village has kept it authenticity even though tourism has grown rapdily here. It's whitewashed and flowered little houses coupled with tiny churches, chapels and labyrinth like streets combine to give an enchanting atmosphere to the village. The port is at the heart of the village and is full of local fishing boats and the remains of an old Venetian castle.

Day 4 - Kamares (Sifnos Island)

Kamares is the port of Sifnos and lies on the western side of the island. Sifnos is one the the best known ceramic production centres in Greece meaning you'll find plenty of workshops dotted around the town. The main settlement lies on the right of the bay and has plenty of tavernas, shops and bakeries where you can stock up. The beach has a watersports centre on it if you fancy trying your hand at something smaller than your yacht.

Day 5 - Loutra (Kythnos Island)

The town of Loutra is famous for its hot springs which flow right into the sea. You can see where the water runs in a stream on the edge of town and empties into the sea at the town beach. For those who want a free cure you can go to the spot where the hot water pours into the sea and there is a tub built with rocks where the sea water mixes and makes the temperature bearable.

Day 6 - Finikas (Syros Island)

Finikas is a large and lively village in the southwest of the Syros Island. The harbour has plenty of space for visting yachtsmen and the town offers a wide selection of tavernas. You'll also find a fantastic beach close to the harbour where many of the locals head to during the peak season.

Day 7 - Mykonos

If you didn't have an opportunity to explore Mykonos on your first night then we strongly recommend heading into the town centre on your last night. Mykonos has something for everyone including: restaurants, traditional tavernas, bars, clubs and beaches.

Frequently Asked Questions

We have three dedicated bases for the Cyclades Islands; Lavrion, Mykonos and Paros. Lavrion is based on the Greek mainland and is perfectly placed to sail the northern and western Cyclades Islands. Mykonos is located in the northeastern Cyclades Islands and is well placed for the eastern, central and northern Cyclades. Paros is the best located Cyclades base, with excellent access to the entire island group.

There are several ways to get to the Cyclades islands. You can fly into Athens and transfer directly to Lavrion or take a connecting flight to Mykonos or Paros. Alternatively, you can fly directly into Mykonos to sail directly from there or ferry to Paros. Finally, you can also fly into Santorini airport and ferry from there up to Paros primarily, or Mykonos.

The weather in the Cyclades Islands is hot and dry, explaining the arid landscape that you’ll experience there. During the early and late months of summer – May and October -temperatures reach the mid-twenties. During peak season – July and August – temperatures are in the mid-thirties. PLEASE NOTE: THE WINDS IN THE CYCLADES ISLANDS CAN BE FIERCE, ESPECIALLY FROM LATE JUNE TO MID SEPTEMBER During the peak season when winds tend to whip down the Aegean sea, it can stop ferries from running with Force 8-9 winds (strong gales). 70% of the time winds will be greater than Force 4 (moderate winds). Earlier and later the winds are much more bearable, particularly in the mornings.

There are generally no mooring fees in Greece other than the main centre marinas such as Mykonos, but even these can be avoided by mooring in the sheltered bays of the island. Given its popularity, it’s important to note that Santorini is a very difficult to moor overnight.

If sailing without a Seamaster skipper, for charters in Greece you must have an ICC (International Certificate of Competence). Those with an RYA Day Skipper, or above, can apply to the RYA for an ICC with no additional assessments required.
