To be with people, yet to be alone.
To really go distance, yet to feel so
close to nature. We take you sailing.
You ask me why we sail? Now, I should tell you something about true freedom, the genuine experience, the primal impulse that awakens when a person finds themselves alone on the open sea. Just the wind, the sound of infinity, some ancient instincts reawakened.
All of that would be words – but they, like photographs, can’t convey so much. Perhaps that’s a good thing.
Must Know Before You Go
The journey starts here.
What’s essential for you to know is that the adventure begins from the Ionian Sea and ends who knows where. Some facts: the boat is 49 feet long and can accommodate 10 people.
Mysterious beaches and Mediterranean sunsets can’t be experienced anywhere else. You sleep on the deck, under the open sky, or down below, in a bed in the cabin. You don’t hear anything you don’t want to hear – all those unnecessary words, shouting, and music from the sunbeds and towels around you when you’re not sailing.
Of course, we can always throw a party – but for a limited number of people. Most often, that’s how it happens – and they’re spontaneous, and those have always been the best.
The right mindset.
Before we set sail on our trip, let’s touch base on land, at least briefly. So later you don cry for me Argentina. Besides the zen moments it can provide, sailing is an adrenaline sport. You’re active, no lounging around all day. (Okay, maybe a bit).
Let’s say it’s like camping on water, and in that sense, the comfort scale might need to be a bit lower – and you’ll enjoy the pace – slower. OK, no more rhyming, that’s so lame, hotel-like.
Speaking of hotels, the boat has everything: a double cabin, living space, a kitchen, and there’s a way to get your privacy if things get a bit tight. It’s okay. Generally, we don’t bring chefs, but that can also be arranged. Some like cooking, some don’t – in practice, arrangements with incredible Greek taverns accessible only to selected few have proven to be maybe the best solution.
If you still have any doubts, and that’s entirely natural, just give us a call. We’re not in the middle of nowhere. Well, we are, but we have a phone.
Chose your way
Two waves.
Plus the adventure.
Perhaps, like many, you’re thinking about sailing but aren’t quite sure if all your friends share the same passion, or if you’ve entirely decided – but you need to find a boat – or you’re determined to take the helm yourself! We get that.
You have us.
It’s possible, of course.
We’ll teach you how – after all, how do you think we became so cool?
Got
questions?
What do the payment conditions look like?
When you book a yacht with us, you must make an advance payment of 50% of the total charter fee immediately. That will secure the boat for you. The remaining amount, also known as the rest payment, should be transferred six weeks before the beginning of the charter.
If you are booking a yacht at the last minute option, within a month before embarkation, then the total charter price has to be transferred immediately at the time of your booking.
What is the cancellation policy?
We offer a 48% money-back guarantee if you cancel your reservation up to 30 days before your scheduled arrival
What is the role of the skipper?
You will hire a skipper to navigate your yacht throughout your sailing holiday. The skipper understands the local area well and can provide expert advice on the best places to visit. Their knowledge can enhance your itinerary and help you get the most out of your chosen destination.
What is your skipper not responsible for?
Tasks such as interior cleaning, cooking, Cooking for the charter group, Emptying bins, Childcare, and Organizing land and water-based excursions, including diving and taxis, are not part of the skipper’s obligations.
Where does the skipper sleep?
Your skipper sleeps in a separate cabin on your yacht.
How do the skipper’s meals work?
You are responsible for providing food and drink for the skipper during your trip. You can choose between two options for providing meals for your skipper. One option is to treat the skipper as part of the crew and include them in all meal preparations for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Alternatively, you can give the skipper enough money to cover their dinner expenses if you prefer to have alone time in the evenings.
What about seasickness?
Even experienced sailors can experience sea sickness; unfortunately, there are no guaranteed ways to avoid it. However, it is essential to note that sea sickness does not happen very frequently and usually lasts longer than you might expect. Our skippers are trained to assist you in reducing the motion and making you feel more comfortable. If you know that you are prone to motion sensitivity, we recommend that you take pills before the trip as a precaution.
How long does the training take?
The training lasts 14 days.
In what period is the course held?
The course is held each year for two terms: the spring term and the autumn term. Find the exact dates on the page below.
Where does the training take place?
We sail from Lefkada. The Ionian Sea is the best region in the world for beginners, regardless of whether they are skippers or just going on a boat for the first time.

I am Mark from USA, but I am not just an American, (parents born in the Balkans), and this was my adventure last summer – I’d love to share it with you. (Always love the literature class I took in college). Here is my “essay”: The turquoise waters…
