Skiathos is one of the most practical family yacht charter destinations in Greece: the airport is on the island, passages between Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonissos are short and sheltered, and the beaches along the island’s north coast rank among the best in the Aegean for children. The 43 family-tagged yachts available for charter in Greece are configured for groups with mixed ages, multiple cabin layouts and dedicated spaces for younger guests including sun decks, tender access and watertoy equipment. Weekly rates range from 55,000 to 300,000 euros for vessel and full crew, reflecting the range from comfortable 30-metre yachts to 60-metre flagship vessels, with provisioning allowances of 25 to 30% for fuel, food, berth fees and drinks. Direct flights from the UK, Germany, Scandinavia and the Netherlands into Skiathos Airport operate throughout the summer, making embarkation day as smooth as any Mediterranean family holiday. Charter crews on family-oriented yachts typically include a chef comfortable with early mealtimes and crew certified for children’s activities in the water. The Sporades season runs from June through September, with July and August the warmest and most expensive months, and June offering reliable warmth at more competitive rates.
