This experience, in a nutshell

sailing cruise  is first and foremost a holiday of simplicity and freedom. At sea, time expands and harmony with nature is restored . People come to rest, to disconnect from the hustle and bustle, from the rhythms and duties of life in the city.

The boat holiday is suitable for everyone, but it is necessary to be in good general physical shape and equipped with good agility to get on and off the tender, the service dinghy that will often take us from the roadsteads to the shore.



We will alternate a few days with longer sailings with quiet days stretching our legs on land, visiting the most beautiful coves and beaches. A very rich itinerary, with islands of great interest for their nature and for the vestiges of a thousand-year-old past. 



The actual itinerary will be defined on the spot based on wind and sea conditions and the forecast for the following days. You can visit the lush and deserted Diapontie islands on the north side of Corfu, Erikussa and Othoni, and then descend to Lefkada via Paxos and Antipaxos. Or head directly south and then go to visit the islands of the inland sea, Ithaca, Meganissi, Kalamos and Kastos if the weather does not allow you to pass through the Diapontias.



We will embark at the port of Mandraki, inside the old fortress, a wonderful scenery in the center of Corfu to visit the beautiful town of Kerkira (Corfu), a UNESCO heritage site, in the evening, taking to the sea the next morning

Andrea was a great captain. We felt completely safe with the way he led us through all the beautiful places, ports and hidden bays with clear azure water. In those places, we swam with school of fish and encountered swimming pigs, jumping dolphins , a huge seal, baby octopus and turtle.It was truly magical to sail without the engines from time to time. We felt like we became part of the ocean. It was kind of Andrea to let us take part in some simple and safe tasks. We were lucky with the other passengers with whom we shared this experience. They were excellent chefs. We enjoyed working together in the galley.The seafood risotto under the stars was one of the best meals of our week. Thank you Andrea! J & M
