Brief description of the holiday

Hello and welcome aboard!

We invite you to share for a week the lifestyle we have chosen, full of freedom, wide open spaces and fun on our sailboat.

We will show you the most beautiful coves of the Ionian Islands around LEFKADA.
An archipelago considered a paradise for sailing holidays. The navigation and the waters are calm and the stages short. There are many possible routes and hundreds of caves and bays. You will enjoy!

We can decide together the different stops and the different activities.
During this week, we will also visit the islands of MEGANISI, KALAMOS, ATOKOS and ITHAKI. We will stop in beautiful coves. These islands give off a real feeling of peace and calm, it's a real haven of peace!

These routes can change depending on the wind and the time you want to spend on the different islands.

The nights will be at anchor. A sailing experience that will leave you dreaming and will know how to recharge your batteries.

THE BOAT
It's a comfortable boat, the solar panels allow us to have electricity, we have a canoe, flippers, masks and snorkels, fishing equipment and a dinghy with a motor to bring you ashore.

We welcome you on a boat that has been traveling for 7 years for a magnificent cruise in Greece. It is a pleasure to welcome you on this travel sailboat which is our home. We live there all year round and take great care of it. We have 3 cabins with 2 places each (the price includes sleeping in a double cabin, sheets and pillows).

The rental is for a minimum of 2 PEOPLE, if you are alone you will have to privatize the cabin for yourself, that is to say pay for two places because they are double beds.

LIFE ON BOARD
The departure will be from the island of LEFKADA, one of the Ionian Islands.
The nearest airport is at PREVEZA. We are waiting for you at Nydri, that is to say at anchor facing the city and we will pick you up in the dinghy. There is a bus that connects Preveza airport to Nydri.

We will welcome you on board and get to know each other over an aperitif.
After a long-awaited swim, we'll go sailing for a few hours, and this, of course, depending on your arrival time.
During the stay meals will be shared. You will therefore have to do the shopping before leaving and the cooking and washing up will be done in turn.
If you prefer to have meals included in your stay, you will have to add 25€/pers per day.

If you want to go to the marinas it will be at your expense.
For diesel it is necessary to count 120€ per week to be divided between you.

First experience of a week in a sailboat and what a joy! A wonderful adventure with Sabine and Patrick who are great hosts, a smile from morning to night, with little care for you, who make you feel comfortable and who make you discover their hidden places away from the big crowds and gives you their good advice. I can only advise you to put your holiday in their hands. DARE! Go on the Makeva you will not regret it!

We had a wonderful week with Sabine and Patrick. They are extremely friendly, good living and always good advice on activities to do and places to visit. We would have stayed 1 more week aboard the Makeva! We recommend with our eyes closed!

1 very nice week spent on the Makeva Sabine and Patrick go out of their way to make your stay as pleasant as possible Discovery of beautiful places, good food, good atmosphere, weather and dream temperature ... pure happiness????????????????

Excellent stay with Sabine and Patrick around the Ionian Islands. They are very accommodating and will do their best to make you have the best possible stay according to your desires. Go there with your eyes closed!

Great experience shared with Patrick and Sabine on the Makeva! Friendly atmosphere and anchorage in secluded coves for snorkeling. the little extras: a barbecue on the boat and a kayak available to discover pretty places. Thank you both for this trip to the top!

Excellent stay on board with Sabine and Patrick. They are very friendly, and listening to their passengers, they adapt. Their joie de vivre and their good mood is communicative. They also knew how to adapt the course so that we did not suffer too much the weather conditions and make the most of magical places! I recommend this cruise with Sabine and Patrick ????

Sabine and Patrick were great! They are interesting and open-minded people who share with pleasure their passion for sailing. The cruise went very well :) They were able to adapt our itinerary with the weather conditions so that we could make the most of the time at our disposal. Plan the organization of the races at the start and have the food delivered to the port :) I recommend Sabine and Patrick!!

We went on a Trip with Patrick and Sabine in Sep 2019. Patrick and Sabine are really nice. Communication was quite easy. Nevertheless I would not recommend a Sailing Trip with them, due to the following: - the boat is not very clean and packed with stuff, especially if the boat is full with 6 people - you might have to sleep next to the toilet, which has a very loud pump. I sleep very well usually, but i could not sleep in this Little, very narrow, loud & hot cabin. - it is smelly. The Toilette smells bad, nevertheless the door stands open the whole day. - the rug infront of the toilet/shower freaked me out the most. It had that smell of a very old wet towel. It was on the floor and I could smell it standing. When I asked for another floor towel, it was not replaced. - you need to be prepared to eat from rusty cuttlery. If you pay 1060 € as a couple for 5 Nights, you should not sleep next to the toilet, step on wet ,smelly towels.... We left the boat after 3 nights. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ANSWER OF THE SKIPPER We are very sad to hear such a bad comment about us, it's the first time for us, everybody enjoyed our boat trips and style of life as you can see in the website comments. Maybe you have to choose something more suitable for you, a yatch or a catamaran. Andrew who come at the same time as you stay all the week and enjoy the trip as we can see his comment below. To answer to your accusations : the boat is cleaned profoundly before the people arrive and "packed with stuff" because of your luggages. A boat is not an apartment ! you can even find rust because of the salt water environment, For the toilet you could close the door during the night. Anyway we didn't rent a luxurious boat but a style of life on a eleven sailing boat that seems not to be yours! We could talk about that before you leave instead of destroying us as you did in your exaggerate bad comment. The positive point is that next time we will keep the cabin near the toilets for us.

My wife and l were very happy with skippers Patrick and Sabine. Their duty to safety and attention to the weather were utmost. They are a lovely couple who are devoted to looking after their crew. We were very pleased with our route and our choice of skippers. We would sail again with them..

Wonderful welcome, Sabine and Patrick know how to listen to you and share with great enthusiasm their love for nature. We had a pleasant family stay away from mass tourism, Sabine and Patrick were taking care of us, the only regret was not to have stayed longer. We recommend with your eyes closed.

A very rejuvenating stay. Beautiful encounters. Beautiful landscapes and above all a great welcome!!!

What a pleasure to sail with Patrick and Sabine! Their mastery of sailing, their perfect knowledge of the Balearic Islands, their good humor, their delicious humor, their altruism, their intelligence, their deep humanity, so many qualities that will make your cruise a moment of intense happiness. In addition, their sailboat is equipped with a Dinghy, a canoe, hammocks, mattresses to rest on deck, inflatable chairs for the beach, a long strap to be pulled behind the sailboat, in order to sail in a zen and relaxed atmosphere. On board, you will also find all the necessary equipment for fishing, spearfishing and snorkeling (fins, masks, snorkels, wetsuits). Patrick and Sabine are happy to adapt to your wishes and are excellent advice on unusual places to discover in the Balearic Islands, at sea and on land. An unforgettable experience.

Wonderful stay on board thanks to Sabine and Patrick who shared with us their life on the sailboat ..... very good experience filled with discoveries, sharing and laughter....!!!!! To all those who are still hesitating, I would simply say: let go and join Sabine and Patrick for a human adventure!!!!!!!!

Really enjoyed the week onboard exploring Majorca. Spent time both onboard and on land visiting different locations. Sabine and Patrick are fun and helpful, experienced sailors. They were also flexible about our arrival which was much appreciated. Very patient too when they let me take the helm. Would definitely recommend this experience.

This was my first sailing experience beyond a day and I must admit that it was very pleasant. Sabine and Patrick are a very welcoming, lovely and very flexible. I highly recommend them, as they enjoy sharing their passion and discoveries. :)

How to tell you.. wow!!! I just got back and this trip was amazing.. an exceptional human encounter and beautiful places.. Patrick and Sabine are beautiful people who are at your disposal and share their passion for sailing with you! They allowed me and taught me the basics of sailing with infinite patience. moments of absolute laughter and I have no words. traveling with them is a time to live and recommend. appointment is made for a next time.. Moments like this are rare... thousands of thanks and again all my affection to this shock duo! This sailboat will always be there.. somewhere to tell me that life can be very beautiful and thank you again from the bottom of my heart to both of you! I kiss you very hard..

Balearic Islands, Ibiza, a sailboat, about 20 miles a day, 100 miles of navigation, 8 coves, 2 fantastic skippers, so many waves is so much wind. This is, in short, the report of a week spent at the speed of light, indeed of the sea, with two sailing professionals and above all fantastic people with whom we shared an unforgettable experience. Patrick, with great enthusiasm, is always ready to teach the secrets of "living" on a sailing boat and, at the same time, to have fun with the crew preparing fantastic barbecues with the comfortable barbecue. Sabine is the perfect organizer for an itinerary in the Balearic Islands able to satisfy your every need. Thank you Sabine and Patrick for making us live a week that turned out to be not just a simple holiday but above all moments that we will carry with us forever.

Great cruise! This couple knows perfectly the baléards, we spent a wonderful week there

Formidable! I recommend:)

4 great days spent on board. On the program: swimming in beautiful "calas" in the middle of fish, sailing, fishing, visiting pretty cities and excellent moments spent with Sabine and Patrick. Nothing is missing on the boat to spend a very pleasant and comfortable stay, the best, a built-in barbecue! The skippers adapted to our program and thanks to their knowledge of the Balearic Islands and the sea made us spend an unforgettable stay. I recommend to all people who want to spend an original holiday, far from crowded beaches, in the heart of places inaccessible on foot and in great company with Sabine and Patrick.

Can children board?
The cruise is suitable for everyone, no need to have sailing experience to participate.
