This experience, in a nutshell

Imagine waking up lulled by the waves, with the aroma of skipper-brewed coffee mingling with the sea breeze. The Sporades await you: four major islands and a handful of hidden gems, all wrapped in a blanket of lush forests, fragrant vineyards and waters that fade from emerald green to deep blue.


Aboard our ocean sailboat built to circumnavigate the globe, you'll have an experience that goes far beyond just cruising. This fast and safe boat has been designed to take on the oceans, guaranteeing you comfort, stability and exceptional performance even on the most demanding sailing.

The sea becomes your home and your experienced skippers turn into real chefs on board. Every day you will delight yourself with passionately prepared meals: from fresh Greek salads to Italian specialties based on handmade pasta; from meat bbq to carefully prepared fresh fish. Eating on deck, with the sun setting behind the islands, is a privilege that only life on a boat can give.


An exciting experience among the most beautiful islands in the North Aegean.

  • Skiathos: golden beaches and vibrant nightlife
  • Skopelos: millenary history and postcard-perfect authentic villages
  • Alonissos: the heart of the national marine park, kingdom of monk seals
  • Peristera and Kyra Panagia: secret coves and pristine bays, accessible only by sea


Every day is a discovery: relaxing sailings between nearby islands, diving into crystal clear waters, exploring beaches where you will leave your only footprints on the sand, walks in villages where time seems to have stopped.

Perfect for Everyone, Even First-Time Surfers

The Sporades are ideal for those approaching the world of sailing: short coastal sailings, favorable weather conditions, protected anchorages. An accessible but authentic adventure, far from the routes of mass tourism.


Lorenzo and Annalisa will show you the best of these enchanted places, combining the thrill of sailing with total relaxation, cultural discovery with the pleasure of the table, adventure with the comfort of an ocean boat of excellence.

Our itinerary

Our trip starts here:

Skiathos.

Check-in: 6:00 PM

Our trip ends here:

Skiathos.

Check-out: 9:00 AM

Leg 1

Saturday: Skiathos Boarding

Boarding at 18:00 at the port of Skiathos, the most cosmopolitan and lively island of the Sporades. Lorenzo and Annalisa will show you the boat. Meeting with the other participants of the boat holiday. The galley will already be stowed on board so as to allow you a carefree holiday possible. A short sail to reach a beautiful bay for a quiet anchorage.

Dinner will be served on the boat by your skippers. The cuisine is an aspect that is taken care of in detail with the search for the best ingredients and the search for healthy and tasty recipes to offer you the pleasure of good food even on a sailing holiday.

Leg 2

Domenica : Alonissos

We set sail after breakfast towards Alonissos. Since 1992 the waters surrounding it have become a National Marine Park. While sailing, keep our eyes open: these protected waters are the habitat of the Mediterranean monk seal, one of the rarest species in the world.

Anchorage in one of the beautiful bays of the island, surrounded by numerous partly uninhabited islets that are part of the marine park. The coasts create an alternation of coves and coves, tiny beaches almost all with white pebbles, these make the water incredibly transparent and crystal clear.

Afternoon dedicated to the exploration of the Chora of Alonissos. We stroll through the stone alleys, flowered courtyards and brightly painted balconies. We visit the kastro, the oldest part that incorporates the remains of the Venetian fortress. Quiet and genuine atmosphere, far from mass tourism. Evening: dinner in a local tavern with fresh fish. Overnight stay at anchor.

Leg 3

Lunedi : Peristera

Short morning sail to Peristera, an uninhabited island where time seems to have stopped. Anchorage in one of the most protected and fascinating bays of the entire Sporades archipelago. A day dedicated to total relaxation in this corner of paradise: multiple swims in waters so transparent that you can see the sandy bottom at a depth of meters, snorkeling among rocks, explorations with tenders of secret coves accessible only from the sea. Lunch on board in the shade of the bimini. Afternoon of readings in the cockpit or simply listening to the silence interrupted only by the song of cicadas and the movement of the waves. Dinner on board. Overnight stay at anchor under a magnificent starry sky, away from any light pollution.

Leg 4

Martedi : Kyra Panagia

Sailing northeast to Kyra Panagia, another uninhabited island. Owned by the Monastery of Mount Athos, the island is named after the Byzantine monastery dedicated to Our Lady, which welcomes visitors with its traditional architecture and atmosphere of spiritual peace. Anchorage in the famous bay of Planitis, a true natural harbor, a narrow passage leads us into a large bay that is very protected, an idyllic and wild place. Protected by verdant promontories covered with pine trees and Mediterranean scrub, it offers perfect shelter and waters with incredible shades ranging from crystalline turquoise to intense cobalt blue. Afternoon dedicated to exploration: snorkeling among submerged rock formations, excursions with tenders, swimming in hidden coves. Lunch and dinner on board prepared by your skippers. Overnight stay in the roadstead in total tranquility, lulled by the gentle movement of the waves.

Leg 5

Wednesday: Firakos

Sail southwest back to Alonissos, this time discovering the west coast of the island. Anchorage in Gerakas Bay, one of the most remote coves in Alonissos The bay is surrounded by lush Mediterranean vegetation and offers a perfect retreat, away from any tourist presence.

The waters of Gerakas are particularly crystal clear, with the white pebble seabed making the sea incredibly transparent with shades ranging from turquoise to deep blue.

Afternoon: exploration by tender of the surrounding coast in search of other hidden coves and sea caves. Evening: dinner on board watching the sunset that tinges the waters of the Marine Park pink and orange. Overnight stay in the roadstead, lulled by the gentle movement of the waves and the silence of nature.

Leg 6

Thursday : Skopelos

Sail along the west coast of Skopelos, the magnificent green island immortalized in the famous movie Mamma Mia. Admiring the succession of bays, verdant headlands and hidden beaches accessible only by sea, we arrive at the main port of the island, dominated by the Chora that climbs amphitheatrically up the hill. Afternoon dedicated to the exploration of Chora: walk through the characteristic paved alleys with traditional houses, flowered balconies and craft shops. Visit to some of the many Byzantine churches that have made Skopelos famous. Possible excursion to the eighteenth-century Monastery of Evangelistria, surrounded by pine forests, which offers spectacular views and houses a small museum of sacred art. Shopping in shops selling local products (hand-painted ceramics, traditional textiles, thyme honey, plum jams). Evening: Dinner in one of the waterfront taverns savoring specialties of Skopelos. Overnight in port.

Leg 7

Friday: Skiathos

From Skopelos I return to Skiathos crossing once again the beautiful waters of the Sporades. During the navigation, time to enjoy the wind in our hair, the sun on our skin and relive the memories of this extraordinary week between green islands and crystal clear seas. Swim stop in one of the many bays along the way for a last dip in the turquoise waters. Arrival in Skiathos in the afternoon, mooring in the bay near the port. Free time for last explorations or final shopping in the downtown shops for souvenirs and local products. Evening: special farewell dinner all together in the tavern on the port to toast this shared adventure and celebrate the moments lived. Last night on board with stories and balance of the week. Overnight in the bay.

Leg 8

Sabato: Skiathos

Last breakfast on board. Disembarkation operations.

Goodbye to the Sporades, we bring with us the memories of sailing driven by the gentle wind, of sunrises seen from the cockpit with coffee in hand, of diving from the aft beaches into bays accessible only by sea, of dinners prepared on board and of nights lulled by the movement of the waves under unforgettable starry skies.

Annalisa and Lorenzo welcomed me on their boat and made me feel at home from day one. They made me discover the beauty of the Cyclades with its crystal clear waters and magical sunsets. They filled the days with their stories and delicious food! It was an unforgettable holiday and I will definitely come back for another trip with them!

Annalisa and Lorenzo are first and foremost two wonderful people. Then they are two very experienced sailors: they have sailed around the world; they know the waters of the Aegean by heart. Finally, they are also great as cooks: where do you find the barbecue on the boat and the freshly hand-pulled egg pasta below deck? Only from them! The bays where they took us were breathtaking.

An exceptional holiday! Challenging sea conditions but two professionals proceeded impeccably. Together we sailed sublimely, overcoming adversity, finding ourselves immersed in a true and uncontaminated reality. Undoubtedly a recommendable holiday but I always suggest doing it with the mentality of those who want to help a companion (not a skipper), of those who want to savor intense and sincere realities forgetting some secondary comforts. Finally, special mention to the culinary skills of Lorenzo and Annalisa. Super
