Why sail the Cyclades on a bareboat charter?
The Cyclades, scattered like gems across the Aegean Sea, offer one of the most iconic sailing experiences in the Mediterranean. Known for their whitewashed villages, blue-domed churches, and sun-drenched beaches, these islands are rich in history, character, and natural beauty.
A bareboat charter in the Cyclades gives you the freedom to shape your own itinerary—sailing at your own pace between famous islands like Mykonos, Paros, and Santorini, and discovering secluded bays, quiet anchorages, and hidden beaches along the way. Whether you're after lively tavernas, archaeological sites, or total solitude, there’s something here for every sailor.
The sailing conditions are best suited to those with some experience, as the Meltemi wind can pick up in summer—but it also means exhilarating passages and reliably blue skies. Snorkelling over underwater ruins, anchoring off remote coves, and dining on fresh seafood ashore are all part of the experience.
If you’re looking for a mix of culture, adventure, and Aegean serenity, a bareboat charter in the Cyclades is hard to beat.
