Boarding from 17.00 on Friday at the Marina Mandraki in Corfu, accommodation in the assigned cabin, short briefing and then dinner in the lively town of Corfu, we will not miss a walk through the typical alleys of the center and then we will be ready to spend the first night on board.


The following morning after breakfast we leave for a navigation of about 9 hours towards the port of Preveza, we will spend the night in this pleasant town where we will have dinner in one of its typical taverns, it will be possible for those who want, also embark from here from 17.00.


Afterwards we will head for Lefkada and get to the heart of our transfer, an itinerary that really contains everything, the adventure of passing from the Ionian Sea to the Aegean crossing the famous Corinth Canal with its high sheer rock walls, the possibility of visiting interesting archaeological sites and less touristy areas such as Mesolongi and Galaxidi and there will also be fascinating bays in which to anchor and the possibility of taking the first baths of the season in crystal clear waters!


In the late afternoon of Friday we will arrive at the Marina di Lavrio (Athens) where we will spend the last night on board, disembarking will take place the following day (Saturday) by 9.00 am.

I recommend a trip with them to everyone for a holiday where adventure, comfort and sea are combined in a natural and fun way. Thank you Enrica and Omar. I will definitely be your guest again!

From Corfu sailing between turquoise sea and white beaches - hostess on board

It was such a wonderful experience! We sailed to some beautiful spots, with crystal-clear water and some incredible shades of turquoise. This holiday is a great way to combine some relaxation: chilling on the deck, sunbathing, reading together with some water activities: SUP, swimming and snorkeling alongside some local culture and entertainment: visiting Corfu town and charming villages, shopping, having dinner in some local restaurants, exploring further by hiking/cycling/driving a scooter on land, Enrica and Omar are the best hosts and they form such a strong partnership. They made sure everything was perfect for all the guests. We all felt totally safe on board with Omar's experience and skills and Enrica cooked some tasty and healthy meals with an Italian touch. The boat was always kept perfectly clean and cosy. I will miss falling asleep to the gentle rocking motions of the sea ! Thanks for sharing your boat with us and for all your kindness!

We were the week of Ferragosto we and our two children aged 9 and 7 in the boat of Omar and Enrica ''Why not?'', and we are happy to have had this wonderful marine experience. Omar is a very good skipper, attentive, prudent and experienced and he passionately taught our children to steer the boat when sailing. Enrica is a fantastic hostess and cook, she always prepared delicious and varied dishes for us, she provided for all our lunches and 3 dinners, while the others in which we did not sleep sparsely we stopped in the tabernas of the marinas where we docked, all the places where they always took us very good and less touristy than the others. The cabins are beautiful, comfortable and very clean, as well as the bathroom we used. The itinerary proposed by Omar and Enrica It seemed perfect and we saw dolphins, monk seals and even unexpected black aquatic pigs. Omar and Enrica are a pleasant, close-knit and nice couple, good navigators and they have transmitted to all of us even more the love for sailing and the sea.

My sailing holiday in the Ionian Islands on Omar and Enrica's boat has just ended, and it was a perfect experience from every point of view. Enrica and Omar are professionals who know the archipelago very well and are able to adapt the holiday, not only to the weather conditions, but also to our needs, thus offering us the best possible experience. Every day they guided us to discover extraordinary places: bays with breathtaking colors, with crystal clear waters that fade from turquoise to deep blue, perfect for diving, snorkeling and unforgettable SUP rides. The wind conditions were ideal, allowing us to sail while moving between the islands. Omar, a competent and experienced skipper, allowed us to steer the boat, making us experience the thrill of steering under his careful supervision. Enrica, on the other hand, delighted us every day with dishes prepared with great care, bringing the freshness of local products combined with the flavors of Romagna. The boat then always impeccably clean and tidy. The balance between nights at anchor and descents ashore was perfect. Even for those like me who prefer nights at anchor. Which gave us a spectacular starry sky, accompanied by the sound of cicadas. . The evenings on land, on the other hand, made us discover the authenticity of the islands, with aperitifs at sunset and dinners in typical taverns. The only regret? That the week flew by too quickly. But this is a good reason to come back on board again with Omar and Enrica
