A very nice sailing area, great wind. However, you should be careful about cruising for several days in 5-7 Beaufort. If you really want to sail, great!

Idyllic and preserved sailing area compared to other more touristy areas in Greece. On the other hand, the prevailing wind flows from the northwest must be taken into account when planning your route (eg: for the southern islands, you have to be able to go back towards KOS, we did 13 hours of meadows (under the sun!). During our stay at the end of April and beginning of May, the sunshine was daily (it seems to be the sunniest area in Greece, we checked it)

Very pleasant, relaxed providers in Kos. Great area to sail in though busy like everywhere. Very efficient and helpful team. Yacht in great condition. My Crew caused a rip in the yacht canopy but dream yacht were entirely pleasant about it. I’d chosen insurance to reduce excess to zero. Only 2 issues. Firstly the rib was very tired and leaked from day one. There was no repair kit. Secondly I was persuaded to pay 70 euros for a wi-fi dongle. This only worked for half a day and 5G and other wi-fi was available for almost all the time anyway. As good a charter company as any and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. Interestingly the boat was advertised as slab reefing for the main but had in-mast reefing (not they I mind either way).

I have been chartering yachts for thirty years now. Kerkeris yachts are certainly one of the best I have encountered. The service and hand overs were personal, quick and efficient. The yachts are clearly very well maintained and consiquently, unusually perhaps, we didn't have any piece of kit that didn't work or broke. I would have not hesitation in a) recommending them and b) rebooking

Our day on the boat was the best day of the holiday by far! Nancy kept us well informed leading up to the day, and made the whole process very easy. The crew were amazing and very accommodating, taking us to a range of coves, and also took us to an island for an amazing meal for lunch. The boat has everything you need onboard. It was a birthday celebration we’ll never forget!

We had a lovely two weeks charter. Handover and hand back were slick and well organised. The team were very friendly and helpful. Any problems were addressed promptly and without any fuss. As our flight back to the UK was late we were allowed to stay on board, as the yacht was not out the following week. We would charter from Kekeris again without hesitation.

Hi, My husband and I rented a Dufour 34 from Kos Marina for two weeks. The boat was very clean, the agency helpful and the boat functioned well. The bed linen and pillows were comfortable and all in all we had a good trip. Thank you again Samboat for yet another good rental.

Ein sehr schönes Segelrevier, super Wind. Allerdings darf man sich scheuen bei 5-7 Beaufort mehrere Tage zu Kreuzen. Wenn man wirklich Segeln will, Top!

Zone de navigation idyllique et préservée par rapport à d'autres zones plus touristiques en Grèce. Par contre, les flux de vent dominants du nord ouest sont à prendre en compte pour programmer son parcours (ex : pour les iles du sud, il faut pouvoir remonter vers KOS, nous avons fait 13h de prés (sous le soleil !). Lors de notre séjour fin avril début mai, l'ensoleillement fut quotidien (il semble que cela soit la zone la plus ensoleillée en Grèce, nous l'avons vérifié)
