Yacht Charters in Sifnos
Unlike many of the Cycladic Islands, Sifnos isn’t overwhelmed by tourists although it is still a popular destination for yacht renting and international travelers. The simple port of Kamares greets yacht charter visitors with a barren, rocky terrain. From there roads lead to the must-see places along the coasts and indeed these also proof beautiful anchorages and should really if possible visited by boat. But, once leaving this area, charter guests discover lovely villages, ancient sites, and terraced hills scented with thyme and oregano. Sifnos was once the richest of the Cycladic Islands with huge reserves of precious metals including gold and silver.
It would be great to visit this island by yachting or yacht chartering. But you have to take note that there are regulations governing yacht renting. Up until 2003 if your yacht was to be chartered in Greek waters then it had to be registered in Greece. The amount of paperwork was prodigious. But now any EU-flagged boat can charter in Greece as long as it complies with Greek safety regulations for rental boats. A number of companies will put your boat under the Greek flag and rent it, paying you a percentage of the returns as well as allowing you the use of your boat in the off-season and for a limited period in the season.
