The ships are registered as official tourist sailing boats in Greece and comply with all necessary technical requirements and safety standards. The experienced skipper and his crew make you feel like you're on your own yacht. The cruise starts in Aegina - an ideal starting point as it can be reached in 40 minutes from Athens by regular ferry.
A typical day on board: After breakfast we leave the harbour and sail for a few hours, mostly along the coast, to a beautiful bay for swimming, snorkelling, paddling or sunbathing. Meanwhile the crew prepares a Mediterranean lunch with starter, main course and dessert. Drinks are in "open bar". After a small siesta we sail for 1 to 2 more hours to the harbour of the next island. You have time to visit the island, taste the local delicacies in one of the taverns or just stroll through the harbour villages. The boat remains in the harbour so that guests can return on board any time.
