This experience, in a nutshell

We have been sailing in the Mediterranean for several years and we love the bays with very few boats, the long swims exploring the seabed, the gentle sails in the afternoon, the aperitifs at sunset and the warm welcome of the Greeks!


Our weeks on a sailing boat follow a very relaxing rhythm, with 2/3 hours of navigation per day. In the morning, Luciana prepares a rich breakfast, and after coffee we leave to anchor in a beautiful bay where we can swim, snorkel or lie in the sun on the comfortable cushions at the bow, reading a book or simply enjoying the wonderful views.


For lunch, we usually choose a different bay. A dip and we will be ready to enjoy a light and tasty meal in the cockpit, perhaps accompanied by a good ice cold wine!

In the afternoon, wind permitting, we sail and everyone participates in the maneuvers. It's a great way to get some sport done and learn how to sail. Renato will be happy to leave you the helm and teach you the perfect adjustment of the jib and mainsail!


Before sunset, we usually moor in a small port of one of the islands on our itinerary. The villages of the Greek islands are always great to visit and the Greek taverns serve tasty and cheap food. With the right conditions, we will also sleep in a quiet and sheltered bay... Aperitif at sunset and dinner under the stars! ✨


Days are never the same on a sailing holiday; there is always something interesting to visit: a temple, an ancient settlement, sometimes a scenic walk, a monastery with a spectacular view, a particularly renowned tavern or the fascinating ancient towns (chora), maze of alleys and blindingly white houses! It's hard to get bored, but everyone can choose their own pace and maybe enjoy total laziness!



THE BOAT: it is a magnificent 17-metre JEANNEAU 54 DS designed by Faroux and Garrone, made for fast offshore sailing. It can accommodate 4/5 guests + crew: skipper and hostess/cook. It has 2 spacious double cabins aft for guests, with en-suite bathroom and air conditioning, an elegant master cabin and a cabin in the bow for 1/2 boys. All rooms are air-conditioned and have a private bathroom with an electric toilet. It stands out for its large interior volumes, comfortable and luxurious, and for the generous sail plan that allows excellent performance in all conditions. A wonderful, beautiful and fast boat, perfect for sailing in total safety and comfort!

Had a wonderful time sailing with Renato and Luciana on their 54 Jenneau sail boat "Lulu"! The boat is very comfortable and sea kindly and Renato is an expert captain and "Lulu" a fantastic chef meals onboard were delishious! They know the best ports harbors and bays for swimming and sightseeing ashore. It was a great vacation plus sailing vacation very highly recommended and would definitely go again!

From Kos to SANTORINI and IOS to discover all the Cyclades with a luxury boat - hostess/chef on board

Unique experience, with two professionals of the sea. The sailing holiday always reserves many adventures and unlike many other experiences it relies heavily on the sensitivity of the skipper to define the daily program based on the weather forecast. Renato, with his vast experience, managed to bring out the best out of the week, making us explore extraordinarily beautiful places. Lulú seasoned everything with style and attention to detail, delighting us with his excellent cuisine. The boat is gorgeous, spotless and reliable! Highly recommended.

From the Dodecanese to Turkey away from the crowds - Hostess / Chef on board

Beautiful boat, really well cared for. Each destination was successfully reached and each location was an interesting dock and place to visit. Excellent meals on board. Perfect cleanliness. Great tips for eating on dry land. I deliberately chose the "sailor's cabin" that I found fun and equipped. Physical agility required to take advantage of it. Too bad too hot in the afternoon for me that I'm used to rest. I had my own little fan for the night . Due to its location in the bow, it grants privacy. Impacting the impatience of the captain during maneuvers or practical activities on board. At first it made me feel out of place but after a clarification, we settled down. It can be hard for some owners to relate even with indolent guests on vacation but I seek relaxation and travel experiences. However, I would leave immediately on Lulu boat with Luciana and Renato, Silvia Michele Antonio and Paolo, TOP holiday companions

We cross the Aegean from Athens to Mikonos and Kos: the most beautiful Cyclades - Hostess Chef on board

++wild bays visited ++food on the boat boat ++beautiful, ++maintained and ++comfortable +treated like private guests -not like paying customers -every act (wake up, breakfast, swimming, changing back to dry clothes, smoking..) was strictly timed. Without ANY obvious reason (plenty of time to sail to the next point) -6 sailing days booked. In total only 3 hours on sail, the rest on motor (no wind when we were out) & 2 days spent in harbors because the wind could be too strong. No effort made when noticed that we could have have (sportively) sailed. Frustrating to see sailing boats offshore while being on a beach/village -communication rather existent. When R. feels challenged by a question, he overreacts (Ex: by leaving the commands of the boat to us because we dared to ask if we could use sails instead of motor OR by calling us "new rich people" when we asked for the final count for the EUR 400 pp for the current expenses.) -age 48?!? -no instruction -feeling to be at the wrong place -------- SKIPPER ANSWER ------------- Dear Frederic, We are sorry that your first boat experience did not meet your expectations. On the boat there are rules to be respected regarding smoking (unthinkable to smoke while sailing and in the cabin!), order and cleanliness so that everyone is comfortable. The itinerary you have chosen (From Athens to Kos) is an adventurous choice for those who love to travel many miles. Unfortunately the wind cannot be booked and when it is too strong for safety reasons we stop. Sailing cannot be learned in a week and neither can education. Leave the cabin in the shameful condition in which you left it (literally throw away sheets) and then ask for the final report, which, as you were told, can be consulted at any time and available to everyone (with receipts and invoices) on the table from correspondence, two days after finishing the cruise, it is incomprehensible. It was not a pleasant experience for us.
