Exactly 25 years ago in 2000, our Sailing and Wellness project began, with the intention of combining sailing with holistic activities such as Reiki and Meditation. It might have seemed an oddity at the time, but for the experienced captain, artist and Reiki Master Fabrizio it has always been a natural choice, a philosophy of life.
Our sailing project has always sought to make the experience of a sailing holiday more meaningful and deeper. You could say that we are now veterans of the sea and wellness, and over the years we have also participated in numerous projects in the field of social hardship.
Our small nucleus (with our cat Kekku) sails from May to October from Corfu to Zakynthos with their boat and their second home, the 14-metre Jeanneau Sun Odyssey, proudly a Greek company under the Greek flag.
Our BenEssere sailing holiday proposal is aimed at all those who love to be totally united with nature and want to recreate more contact with themselves, also discovering sailing as a form of Meditation.
The more sporty guests on board will be able to collaborate in the running of the boat with Fabrizio, thus receiving their first practical knowledge or perfecting their coastal and offshore sailing techniques.
We have chosen the islands of the Greek Ionian Sea for their beauty and scents, for the light, for the deep blue, for the enchanting bays and characteristic harbours, where to anchor and carry out activities Ben Being.
The crew consists of Fabrizio, an Italian skipper with a Greek licence since 2005, with 35 years of sailing experience.
Fabrizio's wife, Sari, a Finnish national, is assistant skipper and cook and an expert yoga practitioner. Together with them sails the inseparable cat Kekku!
During the week, depending on the marine weather conditions, they will sail between the islands, drop anchor in the most picturesque bays for activities such as Swimming, Snorkelling, Sup, and experience sleeping in a roadstead under the stars!
Being anchored in the bay will allow us to receive a Reiki treatment before sunset, or to practice Meditation, and after a light aperitif, we will be ready for a tasty, mostly vegetarian dinner.
During the week there will be no shortage of stops in the characteristic villages of the Ionian Islands, to dine in a typical Greek taverna in good company!
Embarkation and disembarkation will be at airports with international flights, such as: Corfu, Preveza/Lefkada, Argostoli/Sami (Kefalonia), Zakinthos (Zakynthos).
Those who decide to reach Ionian Greece by ferry will arrive in Sivota from the port of Igoumenitsa.
N.B We will accommodate a maximum of 4 guests on board, who will be accommodated in two double cabins.
If you are travelling alone and would like a double cabin for single use, please write to me via the ‘Contact the organiser’ button to receive a personalised offer, otherwise you will share the cabin with a person of the same gender.
We warmly welcome you!
Fabrizio, Sari & Kekku
