Weekly Bareboat Charter: Samothraki Bareboat Adventure from Kavala
Kavala’s marina places you at the threshold of Samothraki’s raw beauty—a place of waterfalls, natural pools, and quiet bays that feel worlds away. Over seven nights, this bareboat journey carries you from the fortified skyline of Kavala to village harbors, wetland horizons, and a lighthouse city sunset. The longer crossing is offset by slow days ashore and tranquil anchorages, creating a rhythm that suits crews who appreciate both purposeful sailing and restorative nature time.
About Our Service in Samothraki & Thrace
The itinerary balances one open-water leg with several relaxed coastal runs. We recommend an early start for the longer passage to Samothraki, leaving ample afternoon hours for swims, shore walks, and simple seafood suppers. Provisioning is easy at major ports; fuel, water, and supplies are convenient throughout. You’ll have the flexibility to anchor out when you crave solitude or choose marinas for shore power and lively promenades.
Day 1 (Saturday, 17:00) – Embarkation in Kavala
Board, complete handover, and enjoy an evening along the waterfront. Overnight in the marina.
Day 2 (Sunday) – Kavala to Samothraki (~55 NM)
Set off at first light for a rewarding crossing, often with dolphins for company. Reach Kamariotissa by late afternoon and settle into the island’s slower tempo.
Day 3 (Monday) – Exploring Samothraki
Hike to the Fonias waterfalls, soak in Therma hot springs, or spread a towel at Pachia Ammos. History fans can visit the Sanctuary of the Great Gods. Overnight in Kamariotissa.
Day 4 (Tuesday) – Circumnavigation & Lakkoma Bay
Sail around rugged cliffs and secluded coves. Anchor at Lakkoma Bay for unhurried snorkeling and a peaceful night beneath a sky crowded with stars.
Day 5 (Wednesday) – Samothraki to Alexandroupolis
Cross back to the mainland for the cafés and seaside energy of Alexandroupolis. The lighthouse makes a golden-hour photo stop before dinner.
Day 6 (Thursday) – Alexandroupolis to Porto Lagos
Continue to Porto Lagos, gateway to the Vistonida wetlands. Visit the lagoon-perched Agios Nikolaos Monastery and, if you wish, arrange a kayak or birdwatching outing.
Day 7 (Friday) – Return to Kavala
Sail west to Kavala for a walk through the old quarter and castle. Celebrate your week with a final taverna meal.
Day 8 (Saturday, 09:00) – Disembarkation
Breakfast and checkout, with Samothraki’s wild calm lingering in memory.
About Our Yacht – Fountaine Pajot Isla 40
With 4 cabins + 2 additional cabins (up to 12 berths) and 4 bathrooms, the Isla 40 is configured for crews who value both privacy and shared space. A bright saloon and practical galley make onboard meals easy; outside, a shaded cockpit and forward lounge encourage long conversations and lazy reading sessions. Catamaran stability and shallow draft broaden your anchoring options in lagoons and close-to-shore coves.
Plan ahead: Book early to align marina berths and any extras—paddleboards, fishing gear, early embarkation—around your Samothraki-focused week.
