Planning your trip: |
Are you alone or with a group?
Are you an experienced sailor or do you have little or no sailing experience?
These cabin cruises are for you:
Each participant is fully part of the crew and can participate in steering the boat and in life on board. Sailing experience is not required. Our skippers have a good knowledge of the Greek Islands and will advise you and guide you in sailing through the Cyclades.
During this trip you will discover the traditional Greece: many places to visit, small fishing ports, taverns, varying mooring places ... and sailing!
If you already have a sailing license or if you're learning, we offer you the opportunity to complete your experience and to accrue sea miles required for your training.

When to travel?
April/May/Mid-June:
Sunny spring weather with moderate winds for more easier sailing. The sea starts to warm up from April and is perfect for a fresh morning dip!
Mid-June/July/August:
Warm and dry. Good sailing weather thanks to the prevailing 'Meltemi', a strong challenging north wind. Beautiful evenings watching the superb sunsets from remote anchorages.
September/October:
Autumn is a very pleasant season to sail. Especially for those who do not enjoy the summer heat so much. The winds become more moderate. A rest- and peaceful time. The days become shorter with even more enchanting sunsets. The sea, which has been warming up the whole summer, is ideal for swimming. This is an excellent period for sailing.
