Which Greek Island Has the Best Boat Trips?

A boat trip shows you one bay from a crowded deck and returns you to the quay at six. A week gives you the bay to yourselves at seven in the evening, dinner at anchor under Hydra's cliffs or in the Despotiko channel, and the next island before the ferries arrive. Everything a day boat sells, a crewed yacht does better, with your own chef and nobody else's children. Which ground. If you land in Athens and want to be swimming by lunch, the Saronic: short legs, calm water, Aegina, Poros, Hydra, Spetses and Dokos, with the five-night week as the shortest programme. If you want the names, the Cyclades: Mykonos, Paros, Naxos, Ios and the quiet western islands, with real distances and, in July and August, the Meltemi, which a good captain routes around. If you have children or would rather swim than sail, the Ionian from Corfu or Lefkada: green, sheltered, Paxos and Antipaxos, Meganisi, Ithaca, Fiskardo. What it costs. One crewed yacht for the week, from about EUR 22,000 a week all in, with the APA and the VAT included and the crew gratuity at your discretion for a 15 metre catamaran for eight, rising with the yacht; one price per yacht, never by the head.
