F.A.Q.

SamoSail is Iocated at Samos marina next to Pythagorio village at the island of Samos in Greece. Samos Island is one of the bigest and well known destinations for many sailors, sailing Greece and the Mediterannean.

Samosail was established in 1995 and is situated among the best yacht charter companies of Mid Eastern Aegean territory. Our company is registered under the Hellenic Republic authorities of Samos Island.
Our company and yachts, as they are owned by Samosail, are subject to several strict annual inspections by the appropriate Hellenic authorities and since 1995 we comply fully with all Hellenic & European Union naval and safety regulations.

Annual Inspections of our yachts include, liferafts, radio communication, hull, shaft, life vests, emergency equipment, fire extinguishers e.t.c. 

Sailind licenses differ from country to country. We need skippers to be qualified to navigate sail yachts, both coastal and open sea, operate radiocommunication & charts. Also must have an adequate sailing experience in all previous.

The charter contract states that you will aboard the yacht on 18.00p.m., but almost all of our crews check in yachts at 13.00p.m. We need this time to clean, service and inspect thoroughly the yacht after returning from a yacht charter, and be sure that we minimize all possibilities that a problem occurs during your charter.

You must return the yacht back to check out port the afternoon before your check out date, re- filled with diesel at latest 18.00p.m. Next morning you check out from the yacht at 08.00a.m

You will check in the yacht with full watertank and full diesel tank. We require that you deliver us back the yacht with full diesel tank.

Of course! Many skippers that have little experience of back stern anchoring in harbors prefer not to take the chance and damage the yacht by trying to harbor it if they do not feel confident, or if it is overcrowded by other yachts.
Staying on anchor with our yachts is even safer as all of our yachts have DELTA TYPE anchors from 18kg to 22kg, which have a very strong strong hold,  to different type of sea bottoms of the  Aegean sea.

During check in, we will explain you thoroughly where to stay on anchor safe at each island and also inform you with sms for the weather of the following day.

By 12v car cigarette lighter plug, usb plug , from the  220v socket while connected to land or when you visit a local taverna for lunch or dinner

Of course! When operating the motor, the water is heated automatically and so you do not have to remember to switch on any water heater switches. 

Of course! We sail all the time with our yachts and we know exactly what to mention you. Check in with a Samosail staff member takes around 1.30 hours. We want you to leave from Pythagorio harbor and feel confident that you have checked and been explained from us everything.

Of course! But there is an extra charge of 3%. If you pay by bank wire transfer, there is no extra charge.

Of course! We guarantee that we will locate for you an experienced and "easy going" skipper.
