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.

Secret Aegean with skipper and kitchen on board from Santorini to Kos

Settimana in barca a vela tra Santorini, Anafi, Astypalea, Nisyros e Kos – una vacanza vera, di quelle che ti restano addosso. Annalisa ed Emmanuel, i nostri skipper, sono stati incredibili: super preparati, ma anche accoglienti e alla mano. Ci hanno trattati come re e regine fin dal primo giorno, con una cura e una gentilezza che raramente si trovano. Anche quando il vento ci ha regalato una sosta più lunga su un’isola, hanno saputo trasformare tutto in un’occasione per scoprire posti bellissimi, fare esperienze nuove e mangiare in locali autentici dove si spende poco e si mangia davvero da dio. Anche a bordo si mangia benissimo: cucinano tutto loro, con prodotti locali freschi, e si vede che ci mettono passione. Non sono solo bravi skipper, sono anche ottimi cuochi! Ogni pasto era delizioso! Abbiamo fatto di tutto: trekking, bagni nelle sorgenti calde, visita alla caldera di un vulcano, e spesso dormivamo in baie tranquille ed isolate, sotto un cielo pieno di stelle. Una pace incredibile. Si naviga quasi sempre a vela facendoci partecipare alle manovre e spiegandoci tutto con pazienza e passione. Non è la solita vacanza all-inclusive, è un’esperienza diversa, più autentica e libera – e proprio per questo è speciale. È mare vero, natura, libertà, semplicità. Se cercate qualcosa di autentico, lontano dal caos e pieno di bellezza, ve la straconsiglio.

The skippers are experienced sailors who care about safety + weather conditions and maintain a very clean, comfortable boat down to the smallest details. They were kind enough to help me maneuver a heavy piece of luggage which I'm super grateful for. I booked solo and extremely last minute without knowing the right questions to ask, and I do recommend conversing prior to get a feel of fit for this type of trip. I could have benefited from discussing my dietary preferences and restrictions in comparison to the group, especially given that the food is purchased and prepared by the skippers without the option of purchasing/ cooking your own. It also didn't occur to me to inquire about allotted water consumption per passenger, and in our case a swift shower wasn't possible each day whether on board or in marina. If you decide to embark, know that you are in experienced hands who will carefully anticipate weather restrictions and modify as needed, and you definitely won't be shopping or cooking. Thank you!
