This experience, in a nutshell

Come sail on a high-performance and comfortable sailboat in the beautiful setting of the Cyclades archipelago, to discover sailing or improve your sailing knowledge.


During this week in total immersion, you will develop your skills as a sailor. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned sailor, our skippers adapt to everyone's level.

You will also enjoy life on board and the beautiful Cycladic landscapes. Each island offers many anchorages, as varied as they are charming, you can swim in the crystal clear waters, and in the evening, discover the local cuisine in typical Greek taverns.


*Objectives : To sail, gain experience and/or put into practice theoretical knowledge, enjoy life on board, swimming and taverns.


*Program: Sailing in all types of conditions, reefing, tacking, gybing, sailing under spinnaker, chart work, knots, etc. And also, anchorages, bathing and Greek taverns.


*Sailing route: The itinerary for the week is discussed with the crew and decided by the skipper according to the weather. We discover one island per day, except in rare cases, when the weather does not allow it. Sailing time: 5 to 6 hours/day Approx. 200 miles/week.


*Conditions: Interest in sailing, good physical shape. The Aegean Sea is a demanding sea and the weather conditions from July to September can be intense. The course is therefore very formative, but does not require a particular level, just enthusiasm!


*Organization: Embarkation on Saturday at 5 p.m. - Disembarkation the following Saturday at 9 a.m., at the port of Finikas, on the island of Syros-84100.


On Saturday when you arrive, welcome, discovery of the sailboat and meeting the other participants. Organization of the week according to the level of each person and the weather. Provisioning and then dinner in the evening in a tavern. Departure on Sunday morning. Return to Finikas the following Friday afternoon, cleaning of the sailboat, 6 p.m. review of the week, free evening.

Our itinerary

On board the sailboat, we sail almost exclusively! We are therefore dependent on the weather for our course for the week, which we study together at the beginning of the course. The many islands of the Cyclades offer many options, regardless of the weather conditions.


One of the possible routes is:

Step 1: Departure from Syros to Schinousa

Stage 2: Schinoussa-Amorgos

Step 3: Amorgos-Katokoufounisi

Step 4: Katokoufounisi-Sifnos

Step 5: Sifnos-Serifos

Step 6: Serifos- Return to Syros

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.

Wonderful week of sailing in the Cyclades. Sylvain has all the qualities for such a course: both an excellent sailor who knows the conditions specific to the Cyclades, he is also a great teacher and allows each participant to feel at ease. Although demanding and sporty, this week also offered us very nice visits and swimming in idyllic places. A big thank you! Marlyse and Guy

Great experience on this boat with a cruise in the small Cyclades. We visited several islands, all of which were lovely. The company was great and the skipper professional and helpful. The only thing I can suggest as an improvement is to spend a little more time visiting beaches around the islands instead of sailing directly to the ports of call. Overall it was a more than positive experience.

Superb week with Sylvain. Professional skipper who puts you at ease and explains everything to you. It takes you to beautiful anchorages and we sailed down the small cyclades quickly. The boat is very comfortable and very nice to sail even when the wind is above 30 knots. I recommend Sylvain for your next adventure!
