We will start our expedition in Rhodes . Rhodes is famous for its impressive medieval old town, fortified walls and spectacular beaches. We will spend a night at the port before sailing west into the Aegean Sea. The possible islands on our navigation route are: Chalki, Tilos, Astypalaia, Amorgos, the Small Cyclades and finally Ios.

Astypalaia is a butterfly-shaped island and has a beautiful town, Chora, with excellent views of the hilltop castle and whitewashed houses around it. Amorgos is known for its spectacular mountain landscapes and the famous Olympia shipwreck on one of its beaches. The Small Cyclades are a group of six islets that are not completely overrun by mass tourism, offering us an oasis of tranquility and nature.

For this expedition, expect many spectacular anchorages, natural bays and charming traditional villages. After enjoying all these natural wonders, we will return to civilization and spend our last night on the island of Ios , famous for its status as a party island full of young backpackers and vibrant nightlife.

The exact route will depend on the wind conditions. We will sleep as much as possible at anchor, in full nature . We will spend the first and last night in port.

Our boat is a Ketch Endurance 44, a unique, handmade sailboat with five sails and two masts: perfect for real pirates sailing! We have availability for 3 pirates in the double cabin with bunk beds and the single cabin. The cabin with double bed is already booked.

What is a sustainable sailing expedition?
On board this expedition, we travel and live respecting the sea and promoting the protection of the marine environment. All meals on board are 100% vegan and non-vegans are very welcome! Be amazed by our delicious cuisine, even gluten-free on request. We only use biodegradable personal hygiene products of excellent quality (shampoo, soap, toothpaste, etc ... included in the price). We also try to create as little waste as possible, avoiding single-use plastics at all costs.

The theme of this expedition is to reconnect with nature and the elements, and to navigate and live sustainably as a crew of ecological pirates!
