This experience, in a nutshell

Welcome aboard! On this holiday I will be your skipper and drive a Viva 48. Departure and return to Corfu with a visit to the islands of Paxos, Antipaxos, Sivota, Parga alternatively Matrhraki, Othonoi, Erikoussa,

Paxos, in Greek mythology, Poseidon created the island by striking Corfu with his trident, so that he and his wife Amphitrite could have some peace and quiet.

We will divide the tasks of navigation and meal preparation, respecting our travel companions and above all the places we visit, attentive to the ecosystem.

For those who wish, there will be the opportunity to learn the techniques of sailing yacht management and management. Useful for those who need to build miles.

VADEMECUM FOR THE ARGONAUTS

Emotions and values - Choosing to take a sailing cruise is a unique experience that enriches the mind and body, gives emotions, feeds values - such as sociability, joy, collaboration, respect for nature, calm, reflection, sharing and efficiency. It teaches us to get in tune with the forces of nature: the wind, the sea, the sun.


Participants in the experience will be registered with the Sports Association and covered by insurance.

Check-out: 8:00 AM

Our itinerary

In a week we will have the opportunity to discover most of the most beautiful places by deciding according to the weather conditions

Corfu, the south east coast, Paxos, Antipaxos, Syvota.

Other interesting stops as an alternative to the journey south are the small islands in the northwest, Erikoussa, Othonoi, Mathraki.

The west coast of Corfu is certainly suggestive but exposed to the prevailing winds, Mistral, if quiet the latter, with wind from the east and with a shallow sea can be explored.


In general, the rule is that the skipper decides which routes to take and you can do more or less miles of navigation depending on the crew!

The itinerary may be subject to changes due to weather conditions and/or technical or logistical reasons, in order to ensure safety and a pleasant sailing experience for all participants.

Nice holiday in the blue of the sky and the sea!! On the other hand, the return to the gray sky and traffic of Bergamo was challenging

I was so excited to go sailing in Greece. This dream unfortunately took a quick turn into a nightmare. The captain didn’t take us to any of the sites listed on the itinerary. We stayed close to the original port the whole trip. We would ask him each day to go to one of the listed places and he would just ignore the suggestions. He would also blame it each day on the weather yet we had beautiful weather the whole trip, minus the first day. The boat itself was constantly breaking down. We had a broke toilet which was not a plus. But the worst part of the trip was when the captain used the outside shower in front of myself and a few of the other girls on the boat. He proceeded to take his swim shorts off deliberately flashing his private parts to us. All the lady’s became super uncomfortable on the boat afterwards. It was super inappropriate. Would highly recommended spending your money elsewhere. Was a horrific experience.

The holiday did not go as I hoped and the main sore point is given by the skipper. It felt more like being in prison than on vacation. Rino did nothing but list prohibitions, he had a know-it-all and always annoyed tone. He had the constant habit of walking around the boat early in the morning, banging his feet forcefully near the cabins and managed the doors of the cabins as he pleased, opening and closing them even while we were inside. What is even more serious, in my opinion he disrespected us on at least two occasions by taking off his swimsuit in front of everyone to shower naked without even notifying us. A really unprofessional behavior. As for the itinerary, unfortunately it was not respected despite the weather conditions were favorable. Apart from the first day when we witnessed a storm, in all the following days not a leaf flew. If there had been the skipper's will, we could have easily arrived in Paxos (which we did not see). We have returned several times to the same places despite countless requests to see something new. We sailed a maximum of two hours a day, we practically paid for his vacation since for the rest of the time he was lying in the shade reading! Finally, I found the location of the marina inconvenient (although suggestive inside the fortress) as you have to walk at least twenty minutes on foot between stairs and climbs to reach the supermarket. I would suggest a more accessible marina considering that when you do a week's shopping for 6 people you don't go back to the boat with a few envelopes.
