This experience, in a nutshell

The navigation is not demanding, the climate is mild, the vegetation is luxuriant, rainfall during the summer is almost absent, the sea is calm sheltered between the islands and the mainland.

Under a great sun, carried by the wind, from port to port, from cove to cove, we will discover the villages and beautiful bays of Ionian Greece The itineraries are simple, the stages are short, the day flows relaxed, unpretentious.

There are countless and beautiful places with many possible variations: Lefkada, Ithaca, the island of myth, the green Kefalonia, and the wonderful smaller islands of Kalamois, Kastos and Meganisi, the atolls of Atokos and Arcudi, the rocks of Formikula, the sleepy villages on the mainland of Paleros and Mytikas, where time seems to have stopped.

These seas were the scene of Ulysses' legendary journey to his beloved Ithaca and have been at the center of very important historical events, rich trade and endless disputes over the centuries. Scattered throughout the archipelago, traces of it will be found, between history and mythology.

You don't need pharaonic baggage (you spend all day in a swimsuit!), nor previous experience, just a lot of joy, respect for others and a pinch of spirit of adaptation, united by the passion for the sea, which is the real protagonist!.


On the contrary: a sailing cruise is first and foremost a  holiday of simplicity and freedom. At sea, time expands and harmony with nature is restored . People come to rest, to disconnect from the hustle and bustle, from the rhythms and duties of life in the city.

Extraordinary encounters with dolphins and turtles and with the Mediterranean monk seal, which has always inhabited these waters.

A holiday

immersed in the blue, the sun and the wind, an economical and original solution for the summer. A holiday

that you will remember for a lifetime ... and that many of you will want to try again!

Our itinerary

Starting from Sami we will make a tour around the island of Ithaca, going east towards the islands close to the mainland: Ithaca, Lefkada, Meganissi, Kalamos and Kastos, Formikula, the Atokos and Arcudi atolls: dozens of caves, bays and possible stops, which will be chosen among the most beautiful according to the weather and the preferences of the guests.

Only with favorable weather can you visit Zakynthos, which is more exposed to the vagaries of the wind.

The final word on the itinerary always belongs to the Captain.

Andrea was a great captain. We felt completely safe with the way he led us through all the beautiful places, ports and hidden bays with clear azure water. In those places, we swam with school of fish and encountered swimming pigs, jumping dolphins , a huge seal, baby octopus and turtle.It was truly magical to sail without the engines from time to time. We felt like we became part of the ocean. It was kind of Andrea to let us take part in some simple and safe tasks. We were lucky with the other passengers with whom we shared this experience. They were excellent chefs. We enjoyed working together in the galley.The seafood risotto under the stars was one of the best meals of our week. Thank you Andrea! J & M
