This experience, in a nutshell

We are Annalisa and Emanuel, a couple of skippers who live six months a year in Greece, sailing in the Aegean. We take turns in all roles: boat management, on-board cooking and organization of activities. We like to go to sea and share this passion with people who want to experience the sea in freedom and learn about traditions, landscapes and places that make the Aegean a unique and perfect place to be discovered on a sailboat.


Our routes will take you to discover the most fascinating islands of this sea: from the authentic face of the Dodecanese to the wild nature of the Southern Sporades, passing through the iconic Cyclades and the hidden gems of the Small Cyclades. Each journey begins on one island and ends on another, both connected by direct flights to numerous departure airports. This formula gives you a freer and more complete experience, overcoming the restrictions of loop routes. You will be able to fully enjoy the magic of the trip, without ever retracing your steps, whether you decide to take two consecutive weeks on a boat, or whether you choose to explore the departure or arrival island by land.


We will sail far and wide to discover the most beautiful islands with a perfectly equipped, safe and certified professionalboat. Fast crosswind, downwind and upwind edges await us to climb the Meltemi, the typical summer wind of Greece. Those who wish can participate in the maneuvers and steering of the boat, or simply enjoy the moment, the sun and the wind. Each route is designed to mix the pleasure of sailing with moments of adventure and relaxation: snorkeling in the crystal clear waters, trekking along the natural paths to discover breathtaking views, aperitifs by the sea, without forgetting the pleasures of the table to share on board or in picturesque taverns.

First experience on a sailing boat for me and my partner: wonderful! Annalisa and Emanuel are fantastic, from the management of the spaces on the boat equipped with everything necessary for all guests, to the experience during navigation up to the excellent cuisine that for them has no secrets in the preparation of different and tastefully prepared dishes every day! And every day you arrive on bays different in colors and scents, not to mention the starry skies when you stay at anchor at night! Also attentive to expenses and waste, they really know how to manage every moment of the holiday to make it unforgettable!

A week on a sailing boat between Santorini, Anafi, Astypalea, Nisyros and Kos – a real holiday, one of those that stay with you. Annalisa and Emmanuel, our skippers, were incredible: super prepared, but also welcoming and easy-going. They treated us like kings and queens from day one, with a care and kindness that is rarely found. Even when the wind gave us a longer stop on an island, they were able to turn everything into an opportunity to discover beautiful places, have new experiences and eat in authentic places where you spend little and really eat like a god. Even on board you can eat very well: they cook everything themselves, with fresh local products, and you can see that they put passion into it. They are not only good skippers, they are also excellent cooks! Every meal was delicious! We did everything: trekking, bathing in hot springs, visiting the caldera of a volcano, and often slept in quiet and isolated bays, under a sky full of stars. An incredible peace. We almost always sail making us participate in the maneuvers and explain everything to us with patience and passion. It's not your average all-inclusive holiday, it's a different, more authentic and free experience – and that's why it's special. It is real sea, nature, freedom, simplicity. If you are looking for something authentic, away from the chaos and full of beauty, I highly recommend it.
