We had a wonderful time sailing with Alex on his boat Lady Sue. Alex is a very experienced Skipper and very attentive host who wanted to make sure we got the most from our trip. We were able to share stories and have a laugh with Alex. He is a fantastic cook if you are lucky enough for him to cook you a meal or two. On our first day, we had a coffee together and Alex made sure he understood what we wanted to experience so we could plan our week together. We then went food shopping together for the week and took off to our first spot to watch a beautiful sunset. We explored coves, visited islands, went paddle boarding, shared meals at little tavernas and connected with locals that our skipper knew. We had such beautiful days with perfect weather and some not so great weather days where we stayed docked at shore but we were able to adapt. Be flexible with expectations and keep ourselves entertained with exploring the port we were in, eating, resting and reading. We had some great sailing days with an opportunity to sail and skipper the boat and had other days where we just relaxed whilst Alex motored us to our next location. All up we had a great experience and would definitely do it again. It's a unique and special experience to be on a yacht travelling by water.

Excellent experience, clean and efficient boat. excellent, cuisine, top quality food, nice company, owner and staff, they do this job with feeling and dedication, Too bad we didn't get to Hydra., even if it was optional, skipper prepared but a little too plastered in his role. however, experience to be redone with this team, perhaps improving my English and with a new itinerary.

It was a spectacular trip, there was an age difference between us but the guys were great and the skipper Andrea was amazing too. I recommend it.

A reliable, welcoming skipper. He gives you free choice which time you want to wake up (he starts the trip in the morning and you can sleep longer if wanted) and how much you're interested in active participation of the sailing. The boot is very well equipped: three bathrooms, two SUPs, fins and snorqueling masks and everything you might need for cooking.

The best places & specific destinations to visit during your sailing holiday in the Saronic Islands:

Sailing the Saronic Islands allows for both a mix of island hopping the Greek Isles as well as some coastal sailing around the mainland Greek peninsula. The Saronics are a very popular region with skippers and make for an excellent sailing holiday destination amongst solo travellers, groups and families alike. The Saronic Gulf offers ideal sailing conditions throughout a long period of the year, and the islands of Salamis, Aegina, Agistri, Poros, Hydra, Dokos, and Peloponnese make for brilliant highlights.

Sailing holidays in Hydra

A picturesque island with wildly natural coasts and a mountainous terrain. Several of the islands coves are rocky and inhospitable for boats - once helping as a natural defense. Hydra, considered as one of the pearls of the Saronics, is now home to a charming seaside resort - however, motorised vehicles remain forbidden! Transport is either by foot, donkey, or water-taxi. The town of Hydra, otherwise known as Hydra port, is the only town on the island. The harbour is full of charm and its red-tiled houses and slithering alleyways have lots of character. There are a handful of beautiful beaches on the island including Molos, Agios Nikolaos, Palamida and Kaminia.

Sailing holidays in Monemvasia

The island of is Monemvasia located at the southern tip of Laconia, connected to the mainland by 200m causeway. Monemvasia is arguably one of the most stunning locations in Greece. The island is mostly a large rock plateau that is the site of a medieval fortress. The town of Monemvasia rests just below on the south side of the island, where there are approximately only a dozen people that live here year round.

Sailing holidays in Poros

Poros is in fact made up of two islands, Sphaeria (or Sferia), where are the city and the port, and Calauria (or Kalavria) - the two islands connected by a bridge. The island of Sphaeria is of volcanic origin. Both islands are mountainous and green with the hills covered by pine trees. Inland, there are beautiful streets, where you can find small white houses with colourful shutters. Many of the charming beaches on Poros are on the south coast of Kalavria, some with pebble beaches and some golden sand.

Sailing holidays in Spetses

Spetses is a small, yet elegant and cheerful island. The scent of jasmine fills the air and has been gifted the nickname the “pearl”. It offers unrivalled levels of relaxation and peace, with delightful views out onto the Saronic Gulf. The evenings are made soft music by the locals and candle lit dinner tables - an island to make memories.
