Timetable not published yet

The last known sailing on this route was on 6 September 2026. No timetable beyond that date has been published yet. Greek operators often release the next season’s schedules only a few months ahead, so this can be a seasonal pause rather than the end of the route. Over the last 12 months it ran from July to September, busiest in August (about one a day).

These are the sailings we recorded on this route from October 2025 to September 2026. They show what ran then, not a forecast: timetables change from year to year.

This is a long-haul run north from the Sporades to Greece's second city, taking a shade under four hours on the Seajets fast craft Speedrunner Jet. The boat crosses open water up the Aegean coast, and it is a considerably longer sitting than the short island hops most people take in this group. Skopelos Town's harbour is the departure point, tucked below the hillside town.

Thessaloniki is a major mainland city and port in central Macedonia, with a large working harbour close to the city centre and its long waterfront promenade. Arriving here puts you within reach of the city's museums, markets and the archaeological sites of the north, rather than at a small island quayside. It also has a large international airport and rail links, so it works well as an end point for a trip.

The route runs on a seasonal basis, roughly daily during the summer months and not at all outside it. Current departures, operators and fares are shown in the table below. From Thessaloniki there are onward connections to Halkidiki, the Sporades in reverse, and the northern mainland generally.
