ABOUT THE
DAY TRIPS

Our cruises at Kardous Sailing are designed to be relaxing, memorable and intimately connected with nature. With us you’ll explore the stunning beauty of the Sporades Islands in a thoughtful way — whether you pick one island or combine several.

We specialise in private journeys and small-group tours, enabling you to enjoy the sea, the wind and the hidden bays with space and comfort.

On every trip we serve a fresh breakfast and lunch, carefully crafted using local products, our own olive oil, and always with vegetarian-friendly options.

Scrolling through Trip Advisor only 2 hrs before my trip to Greece, you cannot miss the click bait aerial shot of the yacht Thasos. Taken with a drone, it’s the perfect travel image that would grace any magazine cover. It certainly got my attention, now check the itinerary, price and availability.

The island of Skopelos boasts 300 days of sunshine like most Mediterranean destinations, so that shouldn’t pose an issue. In mid October, the crowds have mostly disappeared so now was the perfect time to sail. Just hope and pray I don’t have party people or under 30’s as part of my group.

Shoreside, you’re greeted by siblings Antonis & Alexandra with big Volos smiles and a warm welcome. I was fortunate to have four ladies from Seattle doing the Mama Mia experience on board. Perfect as one was celebrating her sixtieth birthday. After the orientation of the yacht and removal of shoes, we set off.

Weather was perfect and the pace was ideal. Calm seas, great information was shared by Antonis and Alexandra throughout the day. They are both excellent not only in communication, but also ensuring that the trip is bespoke to you whilst also ensuring the group is happy.

The food is freshly prepared and delicious, the drinks are offered throughout the trip and the music is chosen by the guests via Spotify. The scenery as you’d expect is idyllic and if you want to just chill on deck that’s fine. The Golden Girls had great fun on the padal boards. I went in for a dip also and there’s a fresh shower on deck to rinse off afterwards.

Many a travel story was shared amongst the group and the siblings. Recommendations were exchanged and memories were made on this excellent excursion. I cannot recommend this trip highly enough and I’ve done several over the years. Thank you team and The Golden Girls from Seattle USA for making the trip a great one.

We had an awesome day sailing with Alexandra and Antonis! They were super lovely and shared lots of great information about the area with us. Had plenty of time for swimming, snorkeling and stand up paddle boarding. The homemade food was amazing! They were accommodating in making a small group work for us. Definitely recommend spending money of this sort of experience when visiting.

It was an amazing sailing day with fun people, swimming/paddling/snorkeling at beautiful beaches and very delicious food, especially the onion pie! Alexandra and Antonis are the most welcoming hosts which also provided us with interesting information about the islands and very helpful recommendations.
Thank you for the wonderful time!

The sailing trip with Alexandra and Adonis was wonderful. They are safe sailors and showed us beautiful bays. They responded to our wishes.
We were able to swim, snorkel and use the sups. Both are very friendly, personable and cheerful. They prepared us a very delicious breakfast and lunch on the ship. We really enjoyed the day and will always remember it.

We had the best day sailing with Alexandra and Adonis. Loved every minute!! They were so nice and attentive, making you feel at home. The boat is definitely spacious enough for everyone and never feels cramped. Lunch was amazing and all the bays where they brought us were wonderful.

Our trip out with Alexandra and Antonis was the best day ever exceeding all expectations. We would highly recommend. We visited 4 beaches with a cave at the end of the trip. Had fun jumping in the sea, paddle boarding. Alexandra gave us some interesting information about the Greek islands and we were given some delicious food. They were the perfect hosts. A day to remember…☀️

Anthonis and Alexandra offer a superb sailing experience. The boat is well-maintained, they have snorkeling and paddle activities at each stop and they are very flexible on changing the course of the journey. They offer multiple destinations with breathtaking beauty.

Anthonis and Alexandra are knowledgeable, very down to earth people, their chat is enjoyable and entertaining. Alexandra prepares breakfast and lunch on the spot at each destination, the food is local, traditional, fresh and yummy. Loved grandma’s pie!

We also got the opportunity to sail their boat :)

Overall amazing experience! Thank you guys.

We spontaneously decided to go on this sailing trip and would do it again at any time! :) Siblings A and A turned the fantastic weather, beautiful landscape and delicious Greek food into a fantastic, unforgettable day on board the Thasos, which we sailing newbies were also able to fully enjoy. We always felt safe and in good hands! Thanks for that and hopefully see you again sometime!!!!

Had a wonderful day sailing in September from Skopelos to Alonissos. Fantastic hosts who were so friendly, knowledgeable and provided excellent fresh food. Can't recommend highly enough and would definitely book again. The chance to try paddle boarding was great. Thank you so much for a wonderful relaxing day out.

Breathtaking day trip experience with two incredible friendly hosts. I can fully recommend the tour, exploring lovely beaches and spots to jump into the clear water, having a nice local lunch and just enjoying the day. Thank you both for such a great day, we loved every bit of it.

We had an unforgettable sailing trip on the Thasos. Alexandra and Antonis were very warm and loving and always tried hard to offer us a relaxing and at the same time adventurous day. There was delicious food and our little daughter (2 years old) also enjoyed it very much.
Thank you!

KARDOUS SAILING ⛵️ ABSOLUTELY AMAZING HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Upon arrival at the port we were overwhelmed with the many choices to cruise the Sporades… after consideration we realized there were two types of vessels: the ones holding at least a hundred passengers where one will bake in the sun all day (approximately 40€ from 10am-4pm) and there where the elegant sailboats ⛵️ awwwhhh after having a crowded experience in Corfu with hundreds of people we decided to ‘invest’ in ourselves as this was after all our dream vacation. We chose Kardous Sailing after meeting Alexandra who graciously explained what was included in the journey. We sailed from 10am to 6pm and are taking with us so many unique memories. We were treated to a delicious yogurt and honey 🍯 breakfast. Then a memorable lunch with several kinds of the famous Skopelos pies and Cretan salad with olive tapenade. Alexandra and Antonis were attentive to our needs always asking if we wanted another beverage or needed anything else. They are quite experienced sailors having sailed all their lives. It was such a treat to spend the days with such lovely and to have sailed around the Alonissos Marine Park. It is a day we will never forget. Thank you! Bob & Elsi from Miami, FL 🤗

Sailing tour was exceptional and the boat crew was very friendly. The family has been sailing since they were children and had a real passion for the ocean. The crew was small and made the trip intimate and fun. We got to see 3 islands and had lots of opportunities for some good swims. 10/10 Thank you!

Our day with Kardous Sailing was spectacular! The spots they took us to were secluded, incredibly clear, and very calm. Alexandra and Adonis were wonderful and very gracious. The provided breakfast and lunch were delicious and authentically Greek (from their Grandma!) and the day was very pleasant. The small group size (8 max) was good and everyone was social. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an amazing experience in Skopelos!

What a fantastic day we had. Best day of our holiday by far. Alexandra and Adonis could not have been better hosts. From the second we boarded till the moment we got off we were so well looked after and the food and drink just kept coming. I can’t recommend this company enough. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Alexandra and Adonis for a day we will never forget

This trip with Alexandra and Adonis was so special and I enjoyed it so much that I went with them on the boat for two days in a row!
I felt so happy and safe on the boat and we had so much fun.
You can feel that they love the ocean and what they are doing. They took us to some amazing beaches to swim and see the wonderful clear waters of the Sprorades. We had lovely conversations and they told us a lot about Skopelos and Alonissos. The boat is very clean and well equipped. We all loved the amazing food Alexandra made for us. It was so much fun going out on the SUP boards and jumping into the water from the boat.
Loved it so much, thank you so much Alexandra and Adonis!

This company is run by a brother and sister, who are really nice people. They take excellent care of their guests throughout the whole trip. We had a great day with them, stopping at some hard-to-reach swimming spots.

They prepared a delicious lunch on the boat too (including probably the best Greek salad I had the whole trip).

For the price, you get a lot too; a whole day of sailing, snorkelling, swimming and SUP. Plus breakfast, lunch and drinks.

There is also a brilliant dog who will probably great you as you arrive and when you return.

It was a great experience sailing with Adonis Alexandra.
We had a lot of fun and visited beautiful places which could not be visited by car or foot.
It was great to not have timetable, like you can swim here for 30min.
They do the plan just like you want to.
Also there is the possibility to try Stand up Paddle.
Thank you for the great experience and see you again next time!

It was an amazing whole day boat trip. We visited 4 gorgeous beaches, riding on standing paddles, enjoying sailing and homemade food on board. Alexandra and Adonis provide great hospitality to their guests! Highly recommend it!

If you don't book this trip, you will miss out on what it truly feels like to be on vacation in Greece. The brother and sister duo make you feel at ease, and the day is well spent. Highly recommend going with some sunscreen and zero plans :) The smaller capacity is also great after taking a few different tours, and you will feel like you have the boat to yourselves.

We had a wonderful day charter with Alex and Antonis. They have a very special approach towards their customers, and were spoiling us during the whole day. Me, my wife and the kids enjoyed a lot the trip, it was an unforgettable experience for four of us. We really recommend these guys!
