Skippered charter, Flotilla

A thousand islands within a few hours of each other, marinas every evening, and the largest charter fleet in Europe. If a skippered boat is free anywhere in August, it is free here.

Why it works for a first time

Distances between anchorages are short enough that a bad forecast never traps you, and the coast is sheltered by the islands themselves. For a first week that means predictable days and a harbour within reach at all times — the two things that decide whether people book a second trip.
