This experience, in a nutshell

Those who embark in Elafonissos will certainly arrive by public transport after landing in Athens.

A beautiful island famous for its white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters that characterize this area.

Past Cape Maleas we will visit the incredible Monemvasia retracing routes of the past along the coast towards the Saronic Islands. A dip in Greek history and visits to enchanting places.

We will then head to the Saroini Islands with a beautiful sailing that often reserves us large catches of fishing.


How about Spetses, Hydra, the island without road transport, no cars or scooters but only donkeys, horses and mules, then to Poros, Aegina Agistri, in short, navigation, swimming in crystal clear waters, excellent food eaten on board and in typical Greek taverns.

I will be an attentive and demanding captain in order to convey all the values that life on a boat should leave you. However, I will be happy to make you interact by assigning roles to the management of the boat and maneuvers but also to participate in the daily activities of designing and preparing meals.

Over the years I have seen wonderful bonds often lasting between crew members, be they families, couples or individuals thanks to the special atmosphere that has always been created on board

​​

I will take care of the galley and preparation of excellent and abundant breakfasts, healthy and light lunches, excellent dinners based on meat or fish. Those who know me know that a boat holiday is more beautiful if surrounded by good food and I will be able to amaze you with unexpected food.

On board I am very attentive to eco-sustainability, we use eco soaps, and we try to recycle everything possible.

​​

The day usually starts with a rich breakfast and it is fantastic to wake up with the smell of coffee, also fresh fruit, yogurt, eggs and bacon, pancakes, jams made on the boat with very little sugar, and everything that will come to mind.

After enjoying the best of the bay we can move on and visit others, enjoy lunch before the wind picks up to be able to sail and we will find a good mooring to spend the night in the roadstead or on the quay to be able to go ashore comfortably to visit the country and taste the delicacies of the Greek taverns.

The sailing experience with Manuele was magical. He is a formidable captain, attentive to everything around him, always transmitting confidence and passion in everything he does. An exceptional chef who surprises you every day with his dishes. Being able to share this experience with him was a privilege that I wish for everyone. He made me fall in love with sailing, I will definitely come back with him for more adventures.

This holiday aboard [hidden] was one of the best experiences of my life. It was the first time I got on a sailboat and initially I was a bit worried about not being able to sleep and not enjoy the holiday. Manuele, however, made me feel at home from the first moment, cooking excellent meals and taking care of each crew member. Manuele thought about the safety of the group at all times, taking us to coves sheltered from the strong Greek winds to ensure us a peaceful sleep and letting us explore wonderful places. Needless to say, once the holiday was over and she got off the boat, I immediately felt a very strong nostalgia! I can't wait to get back on board [hidden].

Best live aboard sailing trip I have done. The boat was exceptionally comfortable and everything clean and in ship shape ! The skipper was great at helping us learn the ropes to participate in the sailing if we wanted to. I loved having the SUP and snorkel sets on board to use when we moored in beautiful bays. It was terrific to catch fresh fish to eat along the way too. Thanks so much to Manuele for making my first trip to Greek Is such a wonderful experience.

It is difficult to find better: quality, hospitality, facilities, comfort and performance of the boat, courtesy and professionalism of the excellent skipper Manuele, sympathy and great culinary ability of the splendid Camilla, in short: five stars absolutely deserved. We can't wait to get back on board [hidden].
