This experience, in a nutshell

Join us on an exciting journey through the waters that surround the largest coastline in Europe. The sailing yacht and her friendly and experienced crew, welcome you to the country of sunshine, deep blue waters and unique wildlife.


You’ll discover deserted beaches, species that don’t exist anywhere else in the globe, islands that don’t appear on any map and secret doors that lead to a Mediterranean ”reality” not mentioned in any travel agency brochure!


Whether you enjoy relaxing on deck with a cold drink… feeling the wind and trimming the sails… getting into the unspoilt lifestyle of the islanders… exploring the underwater life or spotting dolphins and sea turtles… you’ll experience what you’re looking for!


South of Paros and Naxos there is a group of small islands called the Small Cyclades; Amorgos, Iraklia, Schinoussa, Pano & Kato Koufonissi and Donoussa. Until recently, these islands were very isolated so they still remain unspoilt… a small heaven of peace, Greek hospitality and traditional culture. Here is our recommended itinerary...
