Sailing holidays on the Mediterrenean

The Mediterranean. 

Cradle of Western culture: Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Spain, the Arab countries, ...

So many old and new cultures all around the Mediterranean.

The best way to explore it is by sailboat, like in ancient times.

Come along and experience life on a sailboat: eating, sleeping, swimming, snorkeling in a small group, a vacation you will never forget.

Enjoy the sun, deep blue sea, clear water, countless islands, beautiful nature, Mediterranean villages and towns and local gastronomy ...

Sailing along:

The boarding place is always near an airport (eg Corfu town). You can sail from 1 boarding point to another (for example, board in Corfu and get off in Zakynthos) or return to the same boarding point (for example, board in Zakynthos and get off again in Zakynthos). Whoever books first has all the choice.

Transport to the boarding point is on your own account.

For passengers there are 2 bedrooms with double bed and 1 bedroom with bunk beds available.

We sleep on the boat every night. Sometimes we are at anchor in a bay and we do a BBQ on board. Sometimes we stay in a marina and we dine in a local restaurant. There is an equipped kitchen on board for cooking together.

The route is determined in consultation with the crew, taking into account the weather forecast.

In bad weather conditions there will be no sailing. Safety first! But this is rare in summer.

Sailing experience is not required. If you wish, a sailing initiation can be given.
