Sea cabs
These are smaller vessels that can usually take up to 8 people. They're privately owned and can help with your transport between Skiathos and Skopelos.
Sea cabs are a great way to island hop between Skiathos and Skopelos. If you happen to arrive in Skiathos during a time where there are no public ferry connections, this is how to get to Skopelos.
The price is approximately € 25/person and the savings you get can greatly mount up if you had to spend a night in Skiathos.
There are at least 2 different companies operating from Skiathos to Glossa port and Elios marina. We can recommend Sea Cab, a new company that has been successfully used by quite a few of our guests.

Remember, getting to Skopelos is:
…only half of the fun! Skopelos will reward you in many other ways…
Half the fun of travel is the aesthetic of lostness.
