This experience, in a nutshell

We will travel in a beautiful scenery between green islands that emerge from an emerald sea, among myths and history of ancient Greece, we will taste local cuisine, we will stop in exclusive bays, we will sail with the help of Aeolus on a sailing yacht guided by an experienced skipper (Vasili, speaks Greek and English, expert skipper and bio-marine engineer) and qualified, ready to teach sailing techniques for those who wish.

This is the proposal for the spring/summer 2026 activity, aimed at sailing lovers and those who want to try the experience of traveling and living on a boat. Sailing in these waters does not involve long transfers, in fact most of the movements are on short stretches and in calm waters where there is no shortage of wind.

Expert guides

The skippers (national sailing instructors) are great connoisseurs of the area, we have chosen to sail between these islands because we believe it is the most beautiful place in the Mediterranean to fully enjoy a sailing holiday even for those who are at their first experience. The wind is not lacking and you sail calmly in a poorly formed sea close to the countless islands of the archipelago. We know the most beautiful and affordable places, both in terms of offer and quality, which we choose according to the period and the weather forecast.

A sustainable journey We will prefer to travel by sail and stop in the bay rather than in the ports, to enjoy the sea, nature and the cuisine on board. However, there will be stops on land, with visits to the charming villages of the Greek islands and their taverns full of the culinary delights of the heirs of Ulysses. We will divide the tasks of navigation and cooking, respecting our travel companions and above all the places we will visit careful to minimize our impact on nature and the ecosystem that will surround us, on a boat you learn to measure the use of resources.

Participation in the experience entitles you to registration with the Sports Association and therefore insurance coverage for the trip.

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.
