This experience, in a nutshell

A different journey

A sailing experience that combines adventure and discovery, sailing between islands of rare beauty, far from mass tourism. We'll depart from bustling Skiathos, exploring Greece's most lush islands, Skopelos and Alonissos, and then continue on unexplored routes of the North Aegean. We will reach the uninhabited island of Kyra Panagia and the small Agios Panagios, ending our adventure in Limnos, beautiful and wild.

A typical day

Our sailing weeks are designed to offer you a relaxing pace, with 2-3 hours of sailing per day.

Each morning begins with a hearty breakfast prepared by Luciana. After coffee, we'll set sail to a beautiful bay, where you can swim, snorkel, or simply relax on the comfortable cushions in the bow, reading a book or enjoying the view.

For lunch we will choose another bay: a refreshing dip and then a light and tasty meal in the cockpit, perhaps accompanied by a good fresh wine. In the afternoon, wind permitting, we will resume sailing: everyone is invited to participate in the maneuvers, and Renato will be happy to leave you the helm and teach you the perfect adjustment of jib and mainsail.

Before sunset we will dock in a small port on one of the islands of our itinerary. You can explore charming Greek villages or savor the local cuisine in the traditional tavernas. If conditions permit, we'll spend the night in a quiet and sheltered bay, with an aperitif at sunset and dinner under the stars.

The boat of your dreams

On board our boat, a 17-metre Jeanneau 54 DS, you will experience a cruise in luxury, comfort and safety. Perfect for both offshore sailing and relaxation, it is equipped with sun cushions, a hydraulic gangway and a tender with outboard to easily reach the shore. The interiors offer two air-conditioned guest cabins, each with an en-suite bathroom and electric toilet. On board you will find a professional crew, Mediterranean cuisine with attention to detail and hotel-level service.

Our philosophy

We have been sailing in the Mediterranean for several years, guided by a passion for pristine bays, long swims exploring the seabed and gentle afternoon sailing. We love the sundowners, the warm Greek welcome and the relaxed pace that make every cruise a unique experience. Going on a sailing holiday is a perfect opportunity to relax and learn how to sail at the same time. Renato will always be available to share his passion and teach you the secrets of sailing, making this adventure truly unforgettable!

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!

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.

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

++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.
