If you would like to take charge of your boat charter in Skopelos, then bareboat charters are the way to go. Enjoy a bareboat charter if you have a license and set sail at your own pace. You need a valid boating license to enjoy a boat this way so check with the boat owner beforehand to see that your license is valid.

When is the best time of year to rent a boat?

The best time to visit and rent a boat in Skopelos is during the high season, which typically spans from June to August. With warm and sunny weather, average temperatures in the 70s to 80s°F create the perfect conditions to indulge in boat rentals and explore the stunning coastline, enjoying various water activities and basking in the Mediterranean sunshine.

In the months just outside of the high season, specifically May and September, Skopelos experiences milder temperatures, with averages in the 70s°F. The pleasant weather during these months provides comfortable conditions for boating activities while allowing you to avoid the peak tourist crowds of the high season. It's an ideal time to visit if you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere and milder temperatures while still enjoying the island's beauty and charm.

What type of boat is best for a Skopelos boat charter?

Before choosing the right vessel for your boat rental in Skopelos, you first have to think about the duration of your holiday. If you’re only going to sail for a few days, it is best to opt for a daily charter such as a motorboat or a RIB. With the speed of these vessels, you’ll be able to see everything on your wish list in no time. If you’re planning a longer charter of a week or more you should choose a vessel that includes amenities you’ll need during your stay. Catamarans and yachts have the space and accommodations on board to ensure a comfortable stay on the water. For a more luxurious holiday, you might consider a gulet, and for an authentic sailing experience a sailboat.

If you’re unsure about whether or not a vessel suits your needs, feel free to contact the boat owners to get a better sense of what is included on board. With our large fleet, you’ll have no problem finding the perfect boat for your Skopelos boat charter!
