One hour and five minutes is the crossing time Seajets' booking search shows for the usual morning boat from Skiathos to Skopelos in November 2026, and the same search shows a single ship on every date: the car ferry Sporades Star. It leaves Skiathos at 10:40 on six days a week and at 14:55 on Wednesdays, and on Tuesdays it also makes a late run at 22:15.
The return from Skopelos changes with the day: 14:30 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, 18:10 on Thursdays and Sundays, and two sailings on Wednesdays, at 07:00 and 18:10. These times were read for every date from 3 to 29 November 2026 and repeat exactly from one week to the next, but Seajets does not print them as a timetable, so the booking search remains the place to confirm a particular day.
The basic one-way price shown beside each sailing is €23.70, and €22.70 for the Tuesday night boat out of Skiathos and the Wednesday early boat out of Skopelos. Because the Sporades Star carries vehicles, a hire car can cross too; its price appears only once a sailing has been chosen in the booking.

Boarding in Skiathos, landing in Skopelos town
Vehicle loading follows the port authority's rules at the departure port, and every passenger in a car has to get out before the car drives on. Drivers load and unload their own vehicles.
Skiathos
Departures from Skiathos are at 10:40 on six days of the week and at 14:55 on Wednesdays, with a late 22:15 on Tuesdays as well. Seajets wants foot passengers at the embarkation area half an hour before sailing and cars at the loading area an hour before.
Skopelos
Seajets' search names this port Skopelos Island and lists Skopelos (Agnontas) as a separate stop, so make sure the ticket shows the one you want. The Sporades Star leaves here for Skiathos at 14:30 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and at 18:10 on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, with a 07:00 added on Wednesdays.
Skiathos harbour to Skopelos town
The Sporades Star sails direct between the two islands. Seajets' search gives the 10:40 from Skiathos a crossing of 1 hour 5 minutes and most other sailings an hour; the Tuesday night run is shown at 35 minutes and the Wednesday 07:00 from Skopelos at 45.
Before the Sporades Star casts off
- Your name on the ticket
Seajets issues tickets in the passenger's name, with first name, surname, gender, nationality and date of birth. Check the details when the ticket is issued: a wrong entry has to be refused there and then.
- Thirty minutes, or sixty with a car
Be at the embarkation area at least 30 minutes before departure. Vehicles have to be at the loading area 60 minutes before.
- 50 kg or one cubic metre
Hand luggage up to 50 kg or 1 m³ is included. Valuables are the company's responsibility only if handed in at the purser's office against a receipt.
- Pets declared when you book
Companion, assistance and therapy animals travel on a free ticket, but they must be declared at booking with their health booklet or passport number and microchip; no pet ticket is issued on board.
- If plans change
Cancelling 14 days or more ahead returns the full fare, 7 days ahead 75%, up to 12 hours ahead 50%, and inside the last 12 hours nothing.
After the hydrofoil season
In summer this crossing also had Aegean Flying Dolphins hydrofoils running Skiathos – Glossa – Skopelos. The company's published Sporades timetables stop at 31 October 2026, nothing later has been uploaded to its site, and its Sporades price list is still the 2024 edition, so no hydrofoil times appear on this page.
Seajets' fleet page describes the Sporades Star as a passenger-vehicle ferry built in Italy, 115 metres long, with room for 1,100 passengers and 180 vehicles and a top speed of 19 knots. On board it lists a café-bar, pet cabins and kennels, Wi-Fi, a lift and accessibility facilities. The company's terms ask for a mobile number at booking so it can warn passengers if bad weather stops a sailing.
