This experience, in a nutshell

The boat of your dreams in Greece

An exclusive 7-day cruise on an elegant Jeanneau 54 DS, 17 meters of comfort and luxury, designed for only 4 guests. On board, a professional skipper and an experienced hostess/chef will take care of you to give you an unforgettable holiday that combines the charm of sailing with moments of relaxation, swimming in crystal clear waters and visits to historical places and authentic villages.

Starting from Limnos, we will touch Lesvos and Chios, finally arriving in Samos, from where you can comfortably take a return flight to Athens (Saturday or Sunday).

A unique adventure, far from the routes of mass tourism!

On board

The boat is safe and equipped for offshore sailing (battened mainsail, gennaker, electric winches), but also incredibly comfortable. Available: sun cushions, hydraulic gangway, tender with outboard to go down to the beach, SUP board to have fun in the waves.

Guests will stay in two spacious double cabins (joinable beds), each with air conditioning and en-suite bathroom with electric toilet.

The service on board is hotel level, with Mediterranean cuisine prepared by our chef.

The spirit of the holiday

It's the ideal way to relax... but also to learn to sail! Renato will be happy to leave you the helm and teach you the perfect adjustment of jib and mainsail.

During the afternoon we sail calmly, enjoying the wind and the sea. Before sunset we dock in a small port to visit the villages of the Greek islands and savor their excellent local cuisine.

Slow rhythms, intense emotions

We have been sailing in the Mediterranean for years, in love with lonely bays, swimming in the clear seabed, gentle afternoon sails and aperitifs at sunset.

The days on the boat follow a relaxing rhythm: the morning begins with a rich breakfast prepared by Luciana, then we set sail to reach a bay where we can stop for a swim, snorkel or simply sunbathe on the comfortable cushions at the bow.

For lunch, we choose another quiet bay: a dip and a light and tasty meal in the cockpit, perhaps accompanied by a good fresh wine. In the afternoon we resume sailing, with everyone involved in the maneuvers.

Exploring the Greek islands

Every day offers something new: a hidden temple, an ancient settlement, a walk with a view, an evocative monastery or a chora, the characteristic ancient cities with white houses and labyrinthine alleys.

When conditions allow, we'll spend the night in a quiet and sheltered bay, with an aperitif at sunset and dinner under a starry sky.

Had a wonderful time sailing with Renato and Luciana on their 54 Jenneau sail boat "Lulu"! The boat is very comfortable and sea kindly and Renato is an expert captain and "Lulu" a fantastic chef meals onboard were delishious! They know the best ports harbors and bays for swimming and sightseeing ashore. It was a great vacation plus sailing vacation very highly recommended and would definitely go again!

Unique experience, with two professionals of the sea. The sailing holiday always reserves many adventures and unlike many other experiences it relies heavily on the sensitivity of the skipper to define the daily program based on the weather forecast. Renato, with his vast experience, managed to bring out the best out of the week, making us explore extraordinarily beautiful places. Lulú seasoned everything with style and attention to detail, delighting us with his excellent cuisine. The boat is gorgeous, spotless and reliable! Highly recommended.

Beautiful boat, really well cared for. Each destination was successfully reached and each location was an interesting dock and place to visit. Excellent meals on board. Perfect cleanliness. Great tips for eating on dry land. I deliberately chose the "sailor's cabin" that I found fun and equipped. Physical agility required to take advantage of it. Too bad too hot in the afternoon for me that I'm used to rest. I had my own little fan for the night . Due to its location in the bow, it grants privacy. Impacting the impatience of the captain during maneuvers or practical activities on board. At first it made me feel out of place but after a clarification, we settled down. It can be hard for some owners to relate even with indolent guests on vacation but I seek relaxation and travel experiences. However, I would leave immediately on Lulu boat with Luciana and Renato, Silvia Michele Antonio and Paolo, TOP holiday companions

Frédéric B.

++wild bays visited ++food on the boat boat ++beautiful, ++maintained and ++comfortable +treated like private guests -not like paying customers -every act (wake up, breakfast, swimming, changing back to dry clothes, smoking..) was strictly timed. Without ANY obvious reason (plenty of time to sail to the next point) -6 sailing days booked. In total only 3 hours on sail, the rest on motor (no wind when we were out) & 2 days spent in harbors because the wind could be too strong. No effort made when noticed that we could have have (sportively) sailed. Frustrating to see sailing boats offshore while being on a beach/village -communication rather existent. When R. feels challenged by a question, he overreacts (Ex: by leaving the commands of the boat to us because we dared to ask if we could use sails instead of motor OR by calling us "new rich people" when we asked for the final count for the EUR 400 pp for the current expenses.) -age 48?!? -no instruction -feeling to be at the wrong place -------- SKIPPER ANSWER ------------- Dear Frederic, We are sorry that your first boat experience did not meet your expectations. On the boat there are rules to be respected regarding smoking (unthinkable to smoke while sailing and in the cabin!), order and cleanliness so that everyone is comfortable. The itinerary you have chosen (From Athens to Kos) is an adventurous choice for those who love to travel many miles. Unfortunately the wind cannot be booked and when it is too strong for safety reasons we stop. Sailing cannot be learned in a week and neither can education. Leave the cabin in the shameful condition in which you left it (literally throw away sheets) and then ask for the final report, which, as you were told, can be consulted at any time and available to everyone (with receipts and invoices) on the table from correspondence, two days after finishing the cruise, it is incomprehensible. It was not a pleasant experience for us.
