About me

We have almost 20 years of experience in organising sailing holidays in Greece and the Caribbean. Since we always sail together, roles are well shared between us. Greg (57yrs old) is a captain with 30 years of experience at sea, crossing the Atlantic twice a year, who started his adventure in a sport sailing in Regattas. His responsibility is our guest's safety, which is always a priority. GREG Being born just by the seaside, Greg has been sailing all his life. When he was younger he was racing in regattas as a part of the professional Polish sailing team, where he gained the experience to cope with every possible weather condition and learned to overcome any difficulties. He has sailed thousands of miles on different seas and oceans. We could risk the statement that he has spent more time on the water than on land – but who’s counting, right? Eighteen years ago he gave up his role as Director in a big international company and started to live on his boat permanently organising commercial sailing trips. He realised that life is too short to spend it in the office and the world is too beautiful to leave it unexplored. He crossed The Atlantic many times, both ways and since then counts his “job” as a professional skipper. Greg is an International Sailing School Association (ISSA) instructor with the possibility to issue a skipper certificate as well as a Captain with no limits and an instructor accredited by the Polish Sailing Association. Having Greg as their Captain, Guests will experience his remarkable sailing and mooring skills and surely will feel safe in any weather conditions. AGA Aga – a film producer in “previous life” (one can still find her film on Netflix), joined Greg nine years ago when she came for a sailing holiday on board’s Greg’s boat and never left! Since that moment it has been her job to take care of all guests and make them feel at home – something she’s certainly a natural at. She will show Guests all the hidden gems, take care of all the logistics around the trip and solve any issue that may occur. She will explain what each island has to offer, as well as recommend the best viewpoints and local spots. Her enthusiasm to give Guests the best high quality sailing experience on our catamaran is unquestionable and her love of Greece from the water is truly infectious! Aga is the chef on board cruises. Guests can expect delicious, healthy, fresh and truly local meals (often said to be the reason for returning on board). The products used on board are organic, some of them homemade (eg. feta made by Owner’s friend Giota from milk of her own goats or organic olive oil pressed by Panagiotis from his trees) while others bought on local fresh vegetable and fish markets or coming directly from local friend’s gardens. Aga, using her nutrition knowledge, will do her best to provide healthy, mouth-watering meals, which not only influence the body's well being but also feed the soul. Moreover Aga is a marathon runner and yoga practitioner, always infecting guests with the running and active life passion. :) I believe together with Greg we offer a safe and unforgettable greek experience. We are both well-skilled sailors so taking part in sailing maneuvers is optional for those who would like to learn and spend their holidays in an active way. We teach sailing basics, safety on board, knots, steering, mooring ect. No sailing experience is needed. Those who just wish to sunbathe and relax on deck are free to do so. Additionally, Greg is an International Sailing School Association (ISSA) instructor with the possibility to issue a skipper certificate. Guests can expect nothing less than an absolute sense of security as well as putting their comfort and needs as a highest priority. If we sell spots on the boat per cabins (not whole boat) we do our best to combine people at the similar age and interests. What is more, we help with all the logistics - we can organize transport from the airport directly to the boat. We go shopping together, we help in everyday life issues and treat our guests like members of our sailing family. We put love and care into everything we do! That is what I believe makes us unique :) On our monohull there is our trusted and experienced skipper and a hostess (Aga's sister).

My experience

I have been sailing all my life. When i was younger i was racing in regattas as a part of the professional polish sailing team, where i gained the experience to cope with every possible weather condition and learned to overcome any difficulties. I have sailed thousands of miles on different seas and oceans (hard to keep track of how many). i could risk the statement, that i have spent more time at the water than on land - but who's counting, right? :) Ten years ago i gave up the director's job in a big international company and started to live on my boat permanently. I realized that life is too short to spend it in the office and the world is too beautiful to leave it unexplored. :) I spend half of the year in Greece and the other half in Carribbean. Also i have crossed Atlantic many times, both ways. I work as professional skipper and owner of the sailing company for more than 15 years now, having thousands of happy crews on board. Most of them come back on board to sail with me again

Sailing paradise in Greece on a big 50 ft boat: the best local experience

A unique and spectacular experience! I sailed for a week and I loved it! Highlights: we sailed every day, the breakfast and lunches were incredible (we all asked for the recipes) and at night we went out to eat at typical restaurants on the Greek islands. I hope to return soon!

Big and luxurious 60ft catamaran in Saronic - best local experience

If you need a sign to take the most relaxing and thoughtful sailing vacation you’ve ever dreamed of, this is it! You must have Greg and Aga take you sailing around the Mediterranean! In between sailing and enjoying incredible meals prepared by Aga, there is plenty of time for naps in the sun, snorkeling, paddleboarding, board games, cliff jumping, wine tasting, reading, and relaxing. Greg even went above and beyond to accommodate my husband’s kiteboarding from the boat. If you have special requests or needs, they are eager to tailor your vacation to you! You can be as involved in the sailing as you wish. Aga’s meals deserve another shout-out! We were so happy with the healthy and exquisite vegetarian meals, and I was always excited to see what she would create next. She is very creative and takes great care in sourcing local products from the villages, vineyards, and farmers she connects with on her travels. Greg and Aga have spent years sailing around the Greek islands and have found special, off-the-beaten-path harbors, villages, and taverns. They have fostered relationships with locals on each island, and as a guest, you get to enjoy the fruits of their efforts. We spent an evening with a local family at their winery and enjoyed a beautifully prepared meal with wine pairings. Each night at the tavernas, Aga’s recommendations were incredible. Sometimes the seafood was so fresh that they cleaned the fish right after you ordered it! The Zorba Cat catamaran is spacious, beautiful, and incredibly comfortable. Each cabin had its own bathroom! Even with multiple parties on our trip,

Best local sailing experience on 50ft monohull away from the crowds

Perfetta organizzazione della vacanza da parte di Aga. Abbiamo navigato e scoperto le piccole Cicladi, partecipando progressivamente alle manovre compiute dallo skipper. Cucina favolosa da parte di Aga a colazione e pranzo, mentre la sera era prevista una cena in un ristorante dell'isola appena raggiunta. Compagni di viaggio super, vacanza indimenticabile.
