Give this experience a try!

This experience, in a nutshell

We have almost 20 years of experience in organising sailing holidays in Greece and Caribbean, having thousands of happy customers on board our boats from all over the world.  Last year we were appreciated by the Guardian in 10 best sailing holidays in Europe. 


A typical day with us: Wake up, eat breakfast prepared by Aga, have some coffee in the village or a little walk to stretch the legs before we sail away. We tend to sail for a few hours each day before we reach a beautiful bay with a desert beach. Then we have time for snorkelling, swimming, sunbathing, exploring bay/island, reading books etc. Chef will prepare lunch (greek salad seems perfect for the hot day), have some down time, maybe even a little siesta before we sail away. Spend the afternoon sailing and for those that wish, chance to learn how to steer, pull a rope, tie a knot or for others it can be a time to relax and sunbathe on deck. Before the evening comes, we will reach a new island, moor in a lovely small village and explore the new place (they say sunset in Hydra is even better than in Santorini!) As a rule of thumb, in the evening we go to a traditional Taverna to try some awesome local food as well as the delicious greek wine, dance, listen to live music and relax! No hurry, that is our main theme. :)


During all our trips we try to stay far away from tourist crowds - in the small harbours or on anchorages next to desert islands. Each day we stop for swimming in beautiful bays - some of them completely wild, others with one small taverna, serving for lunch fresh fish and seafood (often taken out of the water before our eyes). Friendly local people and lots of tasty food and wine are the common features for all the islands that we visit. 


We can accommodate all dietary needs: vegan, vegetarian, gluten free etc (Aga is gluten free so understands very well when guests are on special diet). We use only organic, local and healthy ingredients like homemade sheep and goat feta, organic olive oil coming from our friend’s olive trees, fish and seafood from local fishermen and fruits and veggies from local markets (or friend’s gardens like our lemons or figs!). We don’t use white sugar or processed food/ingredients. On board we make breakfast and lunch, evening we either go to the tavernas together or recommend the best restaurants for our guests to enjoy the time on their own.


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  (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. We put love and care into everything we do!

Leg 3

Skiathos/Skopelos

Aside from the popular spots on the main islands, the Sporades islands offer much more untouched, uninhabited beauty, perfectly explored under sail. They have a good balance of bustling harbours, authentic tavernas and sleepy anchorages, perfect for swimming, snorkelling, and relaxation.

Skopelos, noted for its breathtaking landscapes and traditional architecture, awaits with its magnificent beaches and culinary delights. A highlight of this island is its local speciality, Strifti cheese pie. Skopelos also gained fame as a filming location for the hit movie Mamma Mia!, attracting visitors eager to recreate the film’s magical moments.

Leg 4

Alonnisos

The island of Alonnisos is renowned for its rugged landscapes and tranquil atmosphere. As the most remote inhabited island in the Northern Sporades, it is home to the National Marine Park, a sanctuary for rare seabirds and the endangered Mediterranean monk seal. This area is rich in various plants and animals, along with important archaeological and historical sites. It has significant scientific and cultural value due to its archaeological discoveries, which include shipwrecks, ancient monasteries, and churches that date back to prehistoric times, the classical period, and the Byzantine Empire. Its a magical place where you can also experience piano on the beach under the stars :)

Leg 5

Peristera

Anchor at Peristera, an uninhabited island ideal for those seeking solitude. This serene spot, rich in history with its caves and former pirate ports, offers a perfect escape from the busier beaches. Here, you can take leisurely walks through lush pine forests and olive groves, immersing yourself in the island’s natural charm.

Leg 6

Trikeri

Lastly, Trikeri - The unknown island of bliss. One of Greece's lesser-known gems. A true piece of paradise, the island of Paleo Trikeri is pure and unspoiled. Covered by dense vegetation, mainly olive groves, the picturesque landscape adds to its peaceful charm. There are no cars or roads on the island.

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,

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.
