The 4 cabin’s bareboat sailing yacht Sun Odyssey 440 was built in 2023 and it is docked in Skiathos, Greece. The Sun Odyssey 440 (2023) can accommodate up to 8 people in 4 cabins and it has 2 toilets. The overall length of the boat is 43 ft / 13,0 m. The main equipment (find the complete list on the ’Equipments’ tab): bathing platform, swimming ladder, autopilot, freezer, electric anchor windlass, air condition, bow thruster, grill (barbecue) and it’s obligatory extras: standard charter pack. The main sail is full batten. You can check-in from 17:00 h and check-out until 09:00 h.
Why charter this Sun Odyssey 440
4 cabins for 8 berths means about 2 guests per cabin, so bag storage and sleeping turns are clear before departure. 4 guests per head matters on early marina mornings, when showers, breakfast and casting off compete for time. At 13 m, this sailing yacht works best when swim stops still leave time for the evening berth.
Best charter fit
Sun Odyssey 440 suits crews comparing cabin separation, luggage storage and bathroom timing across 4 cabins and 2 heads. Sailing crews should keep one fallback leg for wind shifts, late sea state and the final marina return.
The Sporades from Skiathos
Among the Sporades, the one committing leg on a one-week route from Skiathos is the Alonissos Marine Park to the east, whose managed-access zones are worth booking a day for early on. The islands themselves sit close, with short crossings between them, so the rest of the plan stays unhurried. Skiathos Airport (JSI) is around 10–20 minutes by road, with Volos (VOL) the longer inland option. Day one can be brief: an afternoon handover still reaches Tsougria or the island’s south coast. If a fresh meltemi is blowing, it is better to stay at the base and leave the next morning. From there, Skopelos and Alonissos can be linked by short legs, and it pays to hold the last day near Skiathos so a blow cannot strand you far from base. Kyra Panagia and Gioura add longer, more exposed legs beyond Alonissos, so they fit better into a two-week itinerary with enough time to wait for suitable conditions.
