Full Description & Details
Greek Sails is a family-run yacht charter business and marina base at the south eastern end of the Poros quay on Poros Island, in the southern Saronic Gulf, Greece. The base sits at the eastern end of the quay, close to the town's quayside bars and tavernas, and is an hour south of Athens by hydrofoil. From here you can sail north into the Saronic Gulf, south west into the Argolic Gulf, or west to the Cyclades. The marina is well protected from the summer Meltemi wind in the Argolic Gulf, making it a reliable stopover during the season.
The marina offers berths along the quay, with overnight stays permitted. The holding is good on the quay, though depths are not specified in the sources. The base is operated by Greek Sails, which has been running since 1981 and also offers yacht charter, flotilla holidays, and RYA sailing courses. Facilities include a team that greets you off the ferry, helps you settle into your yacht, and maintains the charter fleet. For private yachts, services are available, though the exact range is not detailed.
On shore, Poros town provides quayside bars and tavernas, and the nearby attractions include the monolithic rock of Monemvasia, a popular sailing destination to the south west. The base is at Punta, Poros Island, Trizinia 18020, with contact by phone at +30 2298 023 147 or email at [email protected]. The marina is a working charter base, so expect activity from flotilla and bareboat crews during the season.
Safety notes: the approach from the north or south east is straightforward, but be aware of the narrows and the cross on the foreshore as a landmark. The best season is summer, when the Meltemi is well protected here. There are no specific restrictions mentioned, but as a charter base, space may be limited during peak times. Always confirm berth availability in advance, especially if you are not part of a Greek Sails charter.
How to get there
From the north, enter Limin Poros, the enclosed water west of Poros town, then cross towards the town and pass through the southern channel leaving the town to port. The Greek Sails base is to port at the far end of the quay. From the south east, enter the narrows with Ak Stavros to starboard, round the headland, and you will see a cross on the foreshore to starboard; the base lies just past this at the beginning of the quay to starboard.
The waypoint for the base is 37 deg 27.76N, 23 deg 27.61E (WGS84). Land access is via ferry or hydrofoil to Poros, with the base an hour south of Athens by hydrofoil. The town of Poros is on the island, and the base is at the quay, so you can walk to the town's bars and tavernas.
For formalities, contact Greek Sails directly by phone or email for berth arrangements and any check-in procedures.
