Northern Aegean & Sporades
The Bonus Miles Flotilla returns for its 15th edition, combining seamanship, learning, and exploration across the Greek seas. Daily briefings, practical guidance, and shared experiences create a steady rhythm on the water, helping crews build confidence throughout the passage. Route I covers approximately 250 nautical miles from Keramoti to Volos, exploring the Northern Aegean around Thassos, Samothrace, Chalkidiki, and the wider Limnos area before continuing south through the Sporades to Skiathos, Skopelos, and Alonnisos. These destinations shape the journey, while specific stops may vary depending on weather conditions and the overall flow of the group. Bareboat participation is ideal for crews who wish to manage their own yacht within the flotilla structure. You follow the daily plan and join the briefings while sailing independently, enjoying both flexibility and the support of the lead team along the way.
