Rent a boat in Greece prices - read moreWe start our trip from the center of the Cyclades, either from Paros or from Mykonos. The access to both islands is easy and convenient by flight or ferry.
Starting from the heart of the archipelago provides one of the best sailing experiences, allowing easier access to neighboring islands without long against-the-wind legs.
Definitely. The beauty of a sailing cruise is to experience a dream voyage tailored to your wishes. However, sailing means taking wind and weather conditions into account, and your captain will advise you on the best route.
Sailing conditions vary greatly across different grounds. Some areas are easy to moderate year-round, while others can become very windy and choppy. Some itineraries remain possible even in stronger winds, but others are not recommended because of high seas and less sheltered anchorages.
The key to a perfect sailing holiday is keeping flexible.
Weekly trips usually start on Monday morning at 8:30 AM and end on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 PM. Monday departures help avoid Saturday crowds in harbors and bays. Other start dates can sometimes be arranged.
Trips are planned as 7 days and 6 nights so there is enough turnaround time for full cleaning, preparation, fueling, water refill, sheets and towels, and technical checks between charters.
This schedule allows guests to leave in daylight from the first day and enjoy islands immediately, instead of losing extra time at base marinas.
Food and drink are not included in a skippered charter. This gives you the freedom to enjoy local cuisine and wines at friendly waterfront taverns on each island.
You can also cook on board. The sailboat is equipped with a fridge, gas cooker, and fully equipped galley. Most guests prefer light snacks for lunch while swimming and sailing, then dinner ashore in traditional taverns.
Each island has local specialties, so tasting different dishes along the route is part of the experience.
