It all depends on the type of boat vacation you would like to experience in Kos and what kind of experiences you would like to have. Rent a sailboat in Kos for a real adventure or a boat with two hulls for a more relaxed vacation in the Greek islands .

Motorboat charter in Kos

Pros of renting a motorboat in Kos

A motorboat charter in Kos is ideal for those travelling in comfort and style. You have plenty of room on board and on deck, and don’t have to worry about taking up too much space when travelling with others.

Cons of renting a motorboat in Kos

Catamaran rental in Kos

Pros of renting a catamaran in Kos

A catamaran charter in Kos is a great choice for anyone wanting to explore the Greek Islands in style. You have plenty of space on deck, the bedrooms feel like lovely hotel rooms on water, and due to the two hulls a catamaran stands on, there is plenty of room to host a nice-sized group of people. The two hulls support the catamaran so much that it feels less shaky on board - even when the wind and waves pick up a little.

Another great thing about a catamaran rental in Kos is the fact that catamarans come equipped with both a sail and an engine. This makes them very versatile and you can easily react to the changing weather conditions. When the winds are not blowing strong enough, you can always revert to using the engine.

Cons of renting a catamaran in Kos

Rent a sailboat in Kos

Pros of renting a sailboat in Kos

A sailboat charter in Kos is a great choice for anyone who wants to explore the islands while enjoying a journey filled with freedom and adventure. You solely sail with the power of the wind and have to fully immerse yourself in Mother Nature.

This makes a sailboat rental in Kos a lot more environmentally friendly than other types of boat holidays. As you harness the power of the wind, you don’t produce any additional CO2-emissions. As you don’t have to worry about leaving the marinas with a full tank, you’re saving on fuel and therefore also a lot of money. Perfect for those travelling on a budget!

Cons of renting a sailboat in Kos

One of the downsides of a sailboat hire in Kos is the fact that you need some skills to sail a sailboat in the Greek Islands. It is not the easiest terrain to get around and sailing a sailboat means that simply pressing a button is not enough to get around.

Sailboat rental in Kos

What kind of boat licence do you need when renting a boat in Kos?

Yacht Charter in Kos

A yacht charter from Kos offers the perfect opportunity to explore the Dodecanese region, including the beautiful, picturesque islands of Nisyros, Symi, Chalki, Karpathos, Kalymnos, Fournoi, Samos and Tylos , which seem to have escaped mass tourism.

We very rarely write reviews, but this is a special case. We cannot recommend this service highly enough! In fact, it was the high point of our time on Kos, which was already chock full of high points. 4 of us chartered the boat for a half day. First, the boat is top notch- comfortable, safe, perfect for the task. Blue Zone was incredibly easy to book with, affordable, and client focused. But best of all was our skipper, Sotiris, who was an absolute star. He’s an experienced seaman, and genuinely enthusiastic about sharing the beauty of Kos and local environs. We felt safe, welcomed, and extraordinarily well cared for throughout. A fabulous experience and HIGHLY recommend!

We booked a full day cruise with Bluezone twice as part of our vacation and can now draw on a memory that will last a lifetime. Bluezone is the best company that offers private boat tours that we have had so far and we do these private cruises as a couple at least twice a year at different locations in Europe. The care and safety of the crew on this RIB boat, which is in perfect optical and technical condition, is outstanding. Giannis and Akis are extremely (and more than that) experienced, competent, friendly and careful with their guests and also with the boat. They know the waters and really lonely bays and beaches where others only make promises. Starting with the booking, through consultation, boarding the boat, catering, answering all questions, implementing wishes, pleasant time management (no hurry or hurry) to saying goodbye... here you will find perfection and feel the love for the job at Akis and Giannis. Indescribable moments, unreal crystal clear water, fascinating snorkeling experiences (e.g. to a wreck), friendliness... you can't put into words what we were able to experience. We came on this boat as paying customers and left as friends. We would like to say THANK YOU to Giannis and Akis for 2 great days with you, for the time we had together at lunch, for the nice conversations, for your hospitality, for your caring, for your open, warm manner, for your diligence and for lifelong memories. We will definitely see each other again and if a private boat tour on Kos, then only with Bluezone

Yacht Charter Kos

Kos, the capital and main port of Kos Island, is on the north-east coast very close to the Turkish coast. It is a beautiful city, lush and green with palm lined beaches, a mountainous backdrop and interesting archeological sites from the Hellenistic and Roman periods. There are some particularly good mosaics to be found as well as some early Christian churches with impressive frescoes.

This busy tourist centre also offers a lively nightlife and good culinary scene and is one of the main charter bases in the Aegean; an excellent base for a sailing holiday around the Dodecanses island complex. Kos island, birthplace of Hippocrates and site of one of the first hospitals at Asklepion, is the third largest island in the Dodecanese and there are excellent sailing opportunities around the island and further afield. Leros, Kalymnos and Patmos are to the north and Tilos, Rhodes , Symi and Karpathos are to the south, plus thousands of smaller islands, islets and rocky outcrops.

Walking distance from the historic Kos Old Town is the full-service Kos Marina. From here you can sail to the lesser known islands of the Dodecanese that are hard to reach without a yacht.

Kos has an international airport; about 23 km away that services many Greek and European cities. Ferries run between Kos and the port of Piraeus all year round. Both high speed and conventional ferries that carry vehicles run this route. There are also passenger ferries from neighbouring islands and also from Turkey.

Sailing conditions

Kos is an excellent sailing destination for bareboat yacht charter . Sailors wanting guaranteed wind and longer passages will enjoy the sailing between the unspoilt and varied Dodecanese islands. The prevailing 'Meltemi' wind blows all summer from the NW. Force 4 to 6, offering exhilarating sailing. It can reach Force 7 and sometimes blows for days.

Yachting in Kos - Sailing Holiday Kos

The strong meltemi north winds and plenty of excursion places for the most fun on board.

Modern Port, many Anchoring Spots, long Sandy Beaches – Welcome to Kos!  The island of Kos has been an insider tip for water sport enthusiasts from around the world, because for them, a normal beach vacation is boring. The island is in the eastern Aegean Sea, close to the Turkish coast, and is one of the islands of the Dodecanese . With an area of just 290 square kilometers, Kos is also one of the smallest Greek islands. The island’s small size does not mean it is less interesting or fun. Every year, over 60,000 tourists come to Kos for their vacation, tripling the islands permanent population of 30,000. Kos is also relatively narrow. From east to west, the island is only about ten kilometers wide. From north to south, while also small, it is 50 kilometers. The small inner part of the country is, however, of little issue – almost the entirety of the island’s life occurs on its coasts along the sea. In the summer especially, all attention is given to Kos’ unbelievable beaches. Beaches of both fine sand and smooth pebbles allow you to choose what sort of shore experience you want, and provide enough space for any kind of water sport. The offers at and around the sea leave no wishes unrealized – from jet skiing to scuba diving, snorkeling, sailing, and surfing , almost every water activity is possible on Kos. The wind especially has made Kos like a surfing El Dorado over the last ten years. The favorable winds make for perfect wave conditions, which surfers from around the world come to Kos to appreciate. The average 21ºC (70ºF) temperature on the Greek island doesn’t hurt either. The pleasant climate makes the island, along with its neighbors, one of the most popular vacation destinations among boating enthusiasts who on a hot summer’s day want a cool breeze to blow through their hair. The airport in Kos is conveniently located in the center of the island, and it takes just about 30 minutes to get to the main city.  Kos Marina  was finished construction in 2006 and it is located in  the heart of Kos City . It is the first large marina that lets all types of yachts anchor there throughout the year.  The old town is just a few minutes’ walk from the main part of town, and offers you a pleasant stroll along the redesigned waterfront. Here, you can also buy fresh grapes, almonds, figs and olives, all grown on the island.

“Kos Marina, please go to your docking position!”

The ideal entrance point on the east coast of Kos is of course the modern marina, one of the best equipped of its kind in Greece . More than 200 sailboats and catamarans dock here and wait for the next yacht charter on azure blue waters. Docking in Kos Marina is, however, only allowed with permission from the Mariner. By coming in from the sea via the VHF Canal 77 and giving the signal call “Kos Marina” upon arrival asks permission for entry. If your request is allowed, a pilot boat will come help you and find a place to tie up your boat. Even after this service, the best sides of the marina are yet to come, including a free Internet hotspot, clean bathrooms with showers, a cafeteria, a small super market, a convenience store, a Laundromat, and a bustling bar, where even late at night you can go to have an Ouzo nightcap with some locals. If sleep does not come to you in a long stretch after arrival, the view from the boat over the open sea – with a suggestion of the Turkish city Bodrum already on the horizon – will compensate for it. Many wonderful cruises can be undertaken from Kos, including longer ones with many anchoring points along the way. Turkey is just seven nautical miles away , and other route suggestions , such as excursions through the many Greek islands, can be relatively quickly achieved. To the north, the selection is large: Kalymos , Leros , Patmos or Samos lure travelers with their captivating landscapes. In the south, Tilos , Chalki , Symi and Rhodes offer popular walking excursions for a daytrip strolling through the idyllic old towns. Kos’ neighboring islands Níssiros , with its volcano and quaint villages, and Kahle Kálimnos , the island of sponge fishing, are lovely places to explore for a quick excursion. With the appropriate sailing yacht or a fast catamaran, Pátmos is also a reachable destination, and worth it to visit the 900 year old Aghios Ioannis Theologos Monastery (Monastery of Saint John the Theologian).  We have here a tour and route suggestion for the Dodecanese – sail around the Greec Islands

Sun soaked and cool breezes – everything is attracted to the beaches and sea

The entire year on Kos features a warm Mediterranean climate . The summer in the region is pretty long, so the sailing season starts already in March, when it’s already a comfortable 10-15ºC (50-59ºF) on the pleasant water. As a bit of advice to beginner sailors, this is also the perfect time to test and hone your skills. It’s not quite as hot out as in the peak summer months, and the wind is not yet as strong, so it makes learning and improving your sailing a much easier task. In this pre-summer sailing time, the Meltemi winds come from the southeast and create very good conditions for a yacht charter through the Greek islands . Between July and September, the temperatures climb often over 30ºC (86ºF), and though there is also a constant, cooling breeze, it can be difficult to manage some situations and maneuvers at sea. The pleasant Meltemi winds blow in these months between 4 and 5 on the Beaufort scale (Bft), but it is not uncommon for them to blast up to an 8 Bft – optimal conditions for experienced sailors, since they come here on their own expense. As a beginner it is not necessary to avoid Kos in the peak summer with these winds, but it is good to be aware of the higher waves and stronger winds, and to not underestimate their force. Because of these risks, it is recommended to plan a yacht charter to include an experienced crew or skipper in your booking. Hiring a skipper and crew is possible without any further effort via YACHTICO.com , and spares you the doubt, frustration and annoyance that may occur out at sea. Another important aspect for smooth sailing in this region is to clear yourself for entry at the official Port of Entry, so you can sail around both Greece and Turkey, since the islands intermingle and the border is close. In order to accomplish this, both the flag for guests and the international “Q” signal flag must be up at the Port of Entry, and you must have the valid papers for the boat and the crew must have their identification papers, as well as the skipper’s ID and driver’s license. You can find more information about these issues with the port police or directly where you pick up your yacht. Be sure to inquire further if you have any doubts, so you can start your cruise without any lingering questions.

Historic buildings by day, beach parties by night

Kos is a clean and tourist-friendly island. In and around the main city are large, luxurious hotels where the staff are always concerned with the well being of their guests. The best way to get the full experience of Kos during the summer months is to explore the 30 kilometer long designated cycling trails. To get even further into Kos’ hinterland, you can also rent a quad bike or a car and really explore the depths of the island. With these vehicles, you can also visit resident lemonade factory or the winery. There are also many ancient sites and historic excavations from the Hellenic and Roman periods, which offer artistic and historic interest to the area. Located on the serene harbor sits the massive castle in which Antimáchia Kardámena is enthroned. The Archeological Museum, Castle of St. John from the 13th century, and the Tree of Hippocrates – of which the locals are particularly proud – are also locations that are easy to get to. There are also many ancient houses, temples, baths, and mosaics, from various eras, to visit. After an extensive historic day program, those who are thirsting for a part atmosphere will not be disappointed by Kos’ nightlife. With a large number of bars, clubs, and beach parties, the island boasts a popular nightlife for dance maniacs and night owls. You should not, however, dismiss local specialties: Kos’ “red cheese” is a cheese that is baked in red wine and is offered in almost every tavern and restaurant on the island. There are also other delicious specialties of various types, such as “Pittarida” – noodles in meat stock – or “Varvara” – cooked wheat with sesame cream, sugar, almonds, walnuts, raisins, and cinnamon. The next day, the clean and beautiful beaches invite you to just relax. Mylos , for example, a beach with fine white sand, has the blue flag of the EU and often offers live music directly on the water.

Kos is located southeast of the Aegean Sea, opposite the Bodrum peninsula, and close to the Turkish coast. It is the second biggest island in the Dodecanese and has a natural beauty that is rich and lively. The city center in Kos houses an open-air museum where archeological objects and findings exist in a historic unfolding. The city beautifully combines modernity and ancient times in a blend. You will find beautiful parks, boulevards, and graceful public buildings. The island also has an active nightlife and luxury shops. Once you are on the island, explore Kos Town and its lively nightclubs, bars, and restaurants. If you want to visit some interesting cultural sites take your time to explore the historical artifacts and ruins. You will find the tree of Hippocrates, the father of medicine who had his home in the land. Go up to see the gigantic medieval castles that glorify Kos Town. The castle sits as a guard to the harbor's entrance, so it is impossible to miss. This is just a glimpse of the things you can do before you head to your yacht. Pick your preferred boat and discover every corner of the island, full of hidden surprises and unexpected beauties.

Kos boat trips will allow you to visit the south coast, still remote and inaccessible by land. You will enjoy visiting beaches like Magic Beach and Paradise Beach. These beaches are known for their cold refreshing waters, are organized and have arranged amenities for all travelers. When you move away from the beaches, you should visit the thermal springs deep in Agios Fokas, about 10 kilometers away from Kos Town. The thermal springs are pools of hot water surrounded by boulders with minerals loved for their healing properties. Take time to relax at the thermal springs after a busy day. Other great beaches to add to your Kos tours include the secluded beach of Limnionas, kamari, Kardamena and Marmari which can get a little crowded in summer. Your private yacht charter will offer you unique moments by the shore and you can simply enjoy swimming away from the crowds in the most secluded spots. Take your chance to visit the beach bars and taverns during your excursions in Kos.

Boat rentals in Kos are not limited to the island itself, When you are ready to bid goodbye to Kos, make your next stop at Kalymnos Island where you can opt for a quiet or busy setting. Pothia is a busy location on the island. It is also the main harbor on the island filled with sailing and fishing boats. Vathi Bay is a more quiet and serene environment. Kalymnos Island is paradise on earth and can mark a great one or two-day charter experience from Kos. Once you leave Kalymnos islands, it is a short trip to Leros island. The main port of Leros is Lakki, and it has an artistic feel of the 1930s. You will love the town and also the friendly people who will make the stay worth your while. You can visit several other islands, including the picture-perfect settlements and hilltop villages in Astypalaia. You can also visit the pilgrim destination Patmos, and take a tour of St John's monastery. Stopover at Symi and admire the neoclassical themed mansions. If you do not have the navigational notions, then we recommend you to hire a sailboat with a skipper. With a professional captain on board you will have no trouble with where to make crucial stops during your boating holiday in Greece. Some great destinations you may want to add during your island hopping trips in the Dodecanese complex, include Rhodes, Bodrum and Fethiye in Turkey where you will be able to experience the cultural contrast and create lifetime experiences.

Duo nets clean sweep of walleye competitions on Lake Erie: NE Ohio fishing report

• Published: Jul. 19, 2024, 5:00 a.m.

Mike Miller, of Medina, and Bryan Fisher, of Windham, competed in three Lake Erie walleye fishing tournaments over two days, including a national two-angler team event, and won them all. Lake Erie Walleye Trail, special for cleveland.com

• D'Arcy Egan | special to cleveland.com

CLEVELAND, Ohio — The national Cabela’s Masters Walleye Circuit Team Tournament came to Lake Erie a week ago for a two-day cast-a-thon on Friday and Saturday, as the local Lake Erie Walleye Trail piggybacked a pair of its one-day events during a walleye angling extravaganza based at Geneva State Park Marina on the Lake Erie shoreline.

For the team of Mike Miller, of Medina, and Bryan Fisher, of Windham, the three competitions over two days became the fishing dream of a lifetime. The anglers pointed Miller’s Ranger fishing boat eastward to the deep, clear Pennsylvania waters in search of trophy walleye, and hooked the two biggest fish of the tournaments among their five-fish limits each day.

“Neither of us had ever won a national walleye tournament, much less a Lake Erie Walleye Trail event,” said Miller. “We had a game plan, but could never had imagined that this would be our biggest week ever of tournament fishing. This was a dream come true for both of us.”

The rules allowed the 60 two-angler teams to enter all three events — the MWC two day event; a rescheduled weather-cancelled LEWT tournament from Fairport Harbor and the regular Geneva Marina LEWT tourney, all with combined weigh-ins at Geneva State Park Marina.

That meant that the hybrid field of 120 anglers would consist of Lake Erie veterans of the LEWT tournament trail, and tournament-tested fishermen from around the country fishing the MWC ranks.

Miller and Fisher are respected for their ability to catch trophy walleye in deep waters, and Pennsylvania’s section of Lake Erie certainly has more depth than waters along the Ohio shoreline. The pair had scouted the area earlier in the week with a small group of other LEWT teams, and also knew that a crowd of competing boats could inhibit the bite each day.

“If we’d been fishing around the Lake Erie Islands, a lot of boats wouldn’t be a problem,” said Miller. “But we only had a few boats to contend with, mostly the teams we’d been scouting that area with earlier in the week. We got lucky on Friday, with hardly any wind and a flat calm lake. We had to make a 47-mile run to get there and back, and we could do it at top speed.”

Triggering their victories in the deeper Keystone waters each day were a pair of 12-pound walleye, posting five-fish limits of 36 pounds on Friday and 44 pounds, 2 ounces on Saturday. That was just enough to nip the second-place team of Ronnie Rhodes and Andrew Harmon of the Sheffield area of Lorain (35 pounds, 13 ounces) on the first day, and by almost 10 pounds (34-12) on Saturday, for a two-day total of 80.02 pounds.

Rhodes and Harmon were second (70-09), followed by Michigan’s Steve Vandemark and Jerry Fox Jr. (69-07); Ryan Buddie of Amherst and Jason Kos of Avon Lake (69-05); and Gary and Alex Kisel of Macedonia (65-13).

“We were trolling Bill Lewis Precise Walleye Crankbait lures using Dipsy Diver diving planers, as well as lead core line to take large willow leaf spinners and nightcrawlers to the best depths,” said Miller.

There wasn’t much time for the winners to celebrate. After depositing their $62,000 in winnings, they were off to eastern Lake Erie for the Sunset Bay Walleye Shootout in Sunset Bay, New York, which began Friday morning .

Steelhead trout fishing improves

Lake Erie has been a little bumpy lately, but the big lake should settle and be prime this weekend for long runs to the north off Lorain and Cleveland for summer steelhead trout. Good catches have been reported in 62 to 70 feet of water while trolling spoons with Dipsy Diver diving planers or with downriggers. If you’re catching mostly walleye, head for deeper waters.

Yellow perch on western reefs

Small schools of nice-sized yellow perch are popping up around Green Island and the Catawba Peninsula, and the Niagara Reef complex in Western Lake Erie. Emerald shiner minnows have been in short supply at area bait shops, but the hardier golden shiners are often available.
