This experience, in a nutshell

The easiest boarding is from Athens and 10 magnificent days of sailing holiday await us to discover the beautiful Sporades islands. It is the perfect time to satisfy every desire: guests often tell us that, after a week, they would never want to go down and would have liked to stay a few more days, for example ten.

During the cruise we will have two possible routes: go up Euboea, visiting the picturesque timeless villages, with intense navigation in calm waters and constant wind, or head east, towards Skiros, a unique island where the northern half resembles the Sporades for nature and vegetation, while the south seems to belong to the Cyclades. Skiros exudes a special energy that attracts international niche tourism and deserves at least three days to be fully experienced. From there we will move to the marine park, exploring the islands of Skantzoura, the uninhabited Adelphi, Peristera, Kira Panagia and Alonissos.

The landing point will be the famous Skiathos, known for its landing strip on the sea, but first we will visit all the places made famous by the musical Mamma Mia, such as Skopelos, rocky but full of lush and wild vegetation. The bays of these islands are perfect for our boat and offer swimming in warm and crystal clear waters, allowing us to retrace the magnificent scenery of the film, including the famous staircase leading to the church of San Giovanni.

On board I will be an attentive and demanding captain, with the aim of transmitting all the values of life on the boat, but I will also involve you in the management and maneuvers of the boat, as well as in the preparation of meals. Over the years I have seen the birth of wonderful and lasting bonds between crew members, whether they are families, couples or individuals, thanks to the special atmosphere that is created on board.

I will take care of the galley and the preparation of abundant and tasty breakfasts, healthy and light lunches and excellent dinners based on meat or fish. Those who know me know that a boat holiday is even more beautiful if accompanied by good food, and I will be able to amaze you with unexpected and tasty dishes.

The sailing experience with Manuele was magical. He is a formidable captain, attentive to everything around him, always transmitting confidence and passion in everything he does. An exceptional chef who surprises you every day with his dishes. Being able to share this experience with him was a privilege that I wish for everyone. He made me fall in love with sailing, I will definitely come back with him for more adventures.

This holiday aboard [hidden] was one of the best experiences of my life. It was the first time I got on a sailboat and initially I was a bit worried about not being able to sleep and not enjoy the holiday. Manuele, however, made me feel at home from the first moment, cooking excellent meals and taking care of each crew member. Manuele thought about the safety of the group at all times, taking us to coves sheltered from the strong Greek winds to ensure us a peaceful sleep and letting us explore wonderful places. Needless to say, once the holiday was over and she got off the boat, I immediately felt a very strong nostalgia! I can't wait to get back on board [hidden].

Best live aboard sailing trip I have done. The boat was exceptionally comfortable and everything clean and in ship shape ! The skipper was great at helping us learn the ropes to participate in the sailing if we wanted to. I loved having the SUP and snorkel sets on board to use when we moored in beautiful bays. It was terrific to catch fresh fish to eat along the way too. Thanks so much to Manuele for making my first trip to Greek Is such a wonderful experience.

It is difficult to find better: quality, hospitality, facilities, comfort and performance of the boat, courtesy and professionalism of the excellent skipper Manuele, sympathy and great culinary ability of the splendid Camilla, in short: five stars absolutely deserved. We can't wait to get back on board [hidden].
