This experience, in a nutshell

We will leave Saturday 7 July from Siracusa for the 320 nautical miles to Patras.
Seas can be heavy during our crossing so be prepared for some serious sailing!
I will be accompanied by one of my best sailing mates, allowing you to either "sit back and enjoy the ride" or participate actively in the day and night crossing.
After resting somewhere around Patras we will set sail for the Corinthian channel, which weatherwise can be a challenge once we head out for Athens. So bring foulweather gear, although we expect the sun to always shine!

I will have on board my co-skipper Rob S. to help me and grant even more safety.

Luxury sailing on Swan 65 exploring the Dodecanese

[hidden] is a great skipper. We enjoyed 10 days sailing in the Dodecanese always safe and comfortable. The boat is amazing as she is maniacally cared of and full of unexpected equipment. [hidden] can entertain for hours with stories of his sailing adventures and boat making and maintenance. Highly recommended

This flight from Syracuse to Kefalonia in just 36 hours is unforgettable! Unforgettable the starry skies of the Mediterranean, the milky way and the moon contemplated in this offshore navigation on the oldest route to Greece. [hidden], own and skipper, proved to be skilled, experienced and as his friend Rob tireless sailors. [hidden] has shown surprising resource in managing this navigation that in some moments has turned in a real adventure. And despite the effort required by the shifts of uninterrupted navigation, in my night of seakness, [hidden] has found away to nurture me carefully. The boat proved to be an unsurpassable vessel! Enjoy!

As a first Sailsquare experience I couldn't have been luckier. [hidden] is the skipper that everyone should have when they decide to take a vacation on a sailboat. Capable, competent, nice and smart, it also instills in those who face the experience of sailing for the first time a sense of total security. His boat, a 65-foot Swan kept to perfection, is the best you could wish for sailing. Add to all this nice and pleasant travel companions and you get an almost perfect holiday. A sincere thanks to [hidden], to Cesare, Antonia, Alberto, Tommaso and to the beautiful Benedetta for giving me eight wonderful days.
