Why go sailing?

Unpack once.
See a new Greece every day.

Wake in a peaceful bay, swim before breakfast, spend a few hours under sail and end the day at a waterfront taverna.

This is relaxed cruising for first-timers and sea lovers alike. Join in at the helm, learn the ropes, or simply settle into the rhythm of wind and water. No sailing experience is needed—only curiosity and a flexible spirit.

01

Freedom to explore

One floating home, with a different island, harbour or hidden bay each day.

02

Active, never rushed

Short passages leave time for swimming, paddleboarding and slow afternoons.

03

A shared adventure

Take the helm, trim a sail and discover how quickly a crew comes together.

Our journey

Island-hopping,
the unhurried way.

A relaxed loop through the southern Ionian, sailed in daylight. The route is our intention—not a rigid timetable.

Life aboard

Simple days.
A different rhythm.

A boat is a small shared home, a brilliant viewpoint and part of the adventure. Comfort comes from knowing what to expect.

  • Shared spaces Cabins and bathrooms are compact. Tidiness and consideration go a long way.
  • Everyone lends a hand Meals, lines, shopping and washing up are easier—and more fun—as a crew.
  • Pack soft and light Use a foldable duffel, not a hard suitcase. Storage aboard is limited.
  • Water is precious Fresh-water tanks are finite, so showers are short and mindful.
  • The boat moves Bring your preferred motion-sickness remedy even if you rarely need it.

One sea, two experiences

Yacht or catamaran?

Both make a wonderful home for the week. The difference is in how they feel.

Sailing feel

More responsive and immersive; heels naturally under sail.

Flatter and steadier, with less heeling.

Living space

Cosy saloon and cockpit; cabins closer together.

More deck space, larger saloon and greater privacy.

At anchor

Gentle rolling and a classic sailing atmosphere.

Stable platform, ideal for swimming and social time.

Harbours

Narrower beam makes berthing and finding a space easier.

Needs a wider berth and often costs more in marinas.

Budget

Usually the more economical option.

Typically higher charter, fuel and marina costs.

Our choice will balance crew size, comfort, availability and the final shared budget.

Before we cast off

Getting there & packing well.

Everything you need, and very little you don’t.

Getting to Preveza

Fly to Aktion / Preveza (PVK)

PVK is the closest airport. If another Greek airport offers a better connection, compare car hire and drive to Preveza. Book early and check insurance, deposit, luggage capacity and return conditions.

Exact marina and transfer details will follow once the boat is confirmed.

The soft-bag checklist

What to bring

  • Light layers + warm evening top
  • Waterproof windbreaker
  • Swimwear + quick-dry towel
  • Non-marking deck shoes
  • Hat, sunglasses + SPF 50
  • Reusable water bottle
  • Motion-sickness remedy
  • Personal medicines + documents
  • Small day bag + power bank

Leave at home: hard suitcases, bulky gear and anything you would hate to get salty.

Meteora above the clouds

A long but unforgettable road trip to rock-top monasteries. Leave early and check opening hours before setting out.

The sea shapes the best plan

Flexible by nature. Safe by choice.

Weather, wind, sea state and the skipper’s advice always come first. We may change the order of islands, stopping points or passage lengths—or stay longer somewhere the crew loves. That flexibility is not a compromise. It is what makes sailing a real adventure.

Good to know

A few common questions.

Do I need sailing experience?

No. The trip is suitable for first-time sailors. You can learn and help as much—or as little—as you like, while always following the skipper’s instructions.

Will we sail at night?

No. The plan is relaxed cruising in daylight, generally for two to five hours per day.

Will I have my own cabin?

Cabin arrangements depend on the final boat and crew. Expect compact shared cabins unless the organizer confirms otherwise.

What about meals?

We’ll provision the boat for breakfasts, snacks and simple meals, then mix cooking aboard with evenings in local tavernas.

Is the itinerary guaranteed?

No. It is a wish list shaped daily by conditions and the skipper. Safety and crew comfort always take priority.
