What’s life like on a Greek Islands Sailing Adventure?
- Small Groups – There will be a max. of 9 people on the boat including the skipper.
- Flexible Itinerary – Go where the wind takes you. Although your trip starts and ends on a Sunday, the rest of the itinerary is pretty flexible. Based on weather, sea activity and your group’s interests, your itineraries will evolve organically and spontaneously based on all these factors.
- Restful Nights – Anchor in beautiful bays or dock in island harbors. You can sleep in the bunks, but feel free to spread yourself out on the deck and sleep under the stars and Mediterranean air.
- Learn to Sail – If you’ve always wanted to learn to sail, this is your chance. With just a skipper on board, you become one of the crew. Learn to navigate the high seas or just sit back, relax and let your shipmates take charge.
- Food Kitty – You can either enjoy the fabulous food at the local tavernas or choose to maximize your $$s by combining your resource with your shipmates to prepare and enjoy your meals on the boat.
- No hop on or off privileges – Although it would be really tempting to just jump ship and set up your life on a Greek island, you can only get on and off at your designated start and end destination (Athens, Mykonos, Santorini or Kos).
