Best Time to Rent a Boat in Mykonos

Mykonos, the crown jewel of the Cyclades, offers spectacular sailing opportunities with its crystalline waters and famous Meltemi winds. This cosmopolitan island serves as an ideal base for exploring the surrounding Aegean Sea, featuring a perfect blend of sheltered coves, challenging open-water passages, and iconic whitewashed landscapes that define Greek island sailing.

High Season (July and August)

Pros & advantages: •Perfect swimming conditions with water temperatures reaching 75°F (24°C) and consistent sunny weather for anchoring; •Vibrant nightlife and beach clubs are in full swing, with easy tender access to famous spots like Paradise Beach; •All facilities, including marinas and tavernas, are operating at full capacity with extended summer hours
Cons & disadvantages: •Strong Meltemi winds of 20-30 knots can make afternoon sailing challenging, especially around Cape Spathi; •Marina prices peak during these months, with limited availability at popular ports like Tourlos Marina; •Crowded anchorages at popular spots like Ornos Bay require early arrival to secure good holding ground

Shoulder Season (May-June and September-October)

Pros & advantages: •Moderate winds of 10-20 knots provide ideal sailing conditions for exploring nearby Delos and Rhenia; •Comfortable temperatures around 75°F (24°C) make for perfect sailing without excessive heat or crowds; •Better availability and reduced rates at premier facilities like the New Port Marina

Cons & disadvantages: •Frequent strong northerly winds up to 35 knots can create challenging sailing conditions; •Many restaurants and facilities operate on limited winter schedules or close entirely; •Temperatures dropping to 50°F (10°C) with occasional rain make sailing less comfortable

The shoulder seasons of May-June and September-October offer the best overall sailing experience in Mykonos, combining stable weather conditions with reasonable prices and good facility availability.
