Where a Saronic charter could take you

Not at all. The route shown here is designed to give you a realistic idea of what a week in the Saronic could look like, rather than a schedule you are expected to follow.

Before your arrival, we discuss the places you would particularly like to see, how much sailing your group enjoys and what you want from the week. Once onboard, your captain brings those preferences together with the weather conditions to shape the actual route.

Think of this itinerary as inspiration and a sense of distance — not a timetable.

One of the great advantages of the Saronic is the relatively short distance between many destinations. Some passages may take only a couple of hours, while others will naturally be longer depending on the route and conditions.

That leaves more time for swimming, paddleboarding, exploring towns, discovering local history, enjoying lunch onboard or dinner ashore, and actually getting to know the places you visit.

For us, that balance is one of the Saronic's greatest strengths.

There is no ideal number, and we wouldn't start the week with a target.

The shorter distances in the Saronic make it possible to experience several very different places within a week, but that doesn't mean you need to visit everything on the map.

You may want more time in Hydra, spend an afternoon exploring Nafplio, stop somewhere purely for swimming or discover a quiet bay that wasn't part of the original plan.

The objective is not to cover the map. It is to enjoy the week.

Absolutely. The route is not a package.

If there is somewhere you particularly want to visit, tell us. Equally, if during the week your group feels like staying longer somewhere, finding a quieter anchorage or changing direction altogether, the route can evolve accordingly.

The only limits are distance, weather and what remains comfortable and realistic for your group.

Quite a lot — and this is one of the reasons we like the Saronic so much.

The region combines traditional island towns, neoclassical architecture, historical sites, local restaurants and waterfront life with beautiful bays and swimming stops. Places such as Hydra, Spetses, Poros and Nafplio each offer a very different side of Greece.

The week is not simply about sailing from one anchorage to another. The yacht is the way you move through Greece; the places themselves are the experience.

Very much so. Its generally more protected waters and shorter distances make the Saronic particularly attractive for families, first-time charter guests, guests sensitive to longer passages or simply anyone who wants a more relaxed rhythm.

Shorter passages also mean that more of your holiday can happen at the destination rather than between destinations — swimming, exploring, discovering the history and culture of the islands or simply enjoying the yacht without feeling that you constantly need to move on.

The Saronic is generally more protected than the Cyclades, but weather is still part of sailing and will always play a role in the itinerary.

Your captain may change the order of destinations, choose a different anchorage or replace one stop with another when conditions make that the better choice.

With so many alternatives relatively close together, adapting the route usually means discovering somewhere different rather than losing part of the trip.

Your group sets the priorities, your yacht helps define what is comfortable and realistic, and the weather always has the final say.

No. They are there to give you a sense of distance, not an arrival time.

Actual passage times depend on the yacht, wind, sea conditions and the route taken. They should be treated as a useful indication of the relative distance between destinations rather than a schedule for the week.
