Authentic Greek island hopping
Explore hidden bays and Aegean gems
Skipper and crew community
Daily swim, snorkel, and sail rhythm
Learn to be a sailor!
Embark on a beginner sailing course
Sail through the Greek Islands with a (professional) skipper, exploring hidden bays, island towns, and turquoise waters. Days combine sailing, swimming, snorkeling, and cultural stops. Evenings are spent at charming ports or sheltered anchorages with shared meals and group freedom.
This style offers community and flexibility — the crew decides daily where to go based on conditions and group vibe, but the general island cluster and route are planned within Greece’s idyllic sailing areas.
Explore the Greek islands aboard a skippered sailboat, experience island hopping, swimming in crystal waters, sunset anchoring, and authentic local tavernas.
No sailing experience needed — just bring your sense of adventure.
The sea is calling. The Pirate King awaits.

Other requirements
You should be motivated to contribute to the sailing routine within the crew. This includes activities such as sailing itself, preparing meals, and cleaning up and washing dishes after eating.
For our optional quad/ scooter tour on the island of Poros, it is best if you have a driving license. However, you can also rent a scooter or quad for two people, so not everyone has to drive.
Optional: A 2-hour walk on natural paths should not be a problem for you.
About the weather
Sailing season typically runs from May to September. Expect warm, sunny days with temperatures around 25–32°C, cooler evenings, and refreshing sea breezes. Weather and sailing routes may vary depending on wind conditions, ensuring the safest and most enjoyable experience.
How does accommodation & rooming work?
By default, solo travelers are matched with same-gender roommates. If you're traveling with friends, you can choose to room together. Private rooms are sometimes available at an additional fee at checkout.
Trip confirmation & minimum participants
Most trips require a minimum of 4 and cap at 20 participants. Booking early helps the trip reach confirmation faster — and you'll enjoy our early bird discount.
Is flight included?
Flights are not included, giving you flexibility to book your own. We recommend booking after your trip is confirmed. Once you've booked, we'll send you a detailed trip pamphlet with recommended flight options and more details about your trip.
Cancellation & refund policy
Cancel before the deadline shown at checkout and receive a full refund in credits. If we cancel the trip due to insufficient participants, you'll receive a full cash refund.
Physical level
We will cover about 130 nautical miles during our week.
During the day, we are usually on the move for 3 to 6 hours (including swimming breaks).
No sailing experience is required for this tour.
Being able to swim freely for 20 minutes is a must.
Is there a money pot?
Yes, please expect to pay another 300EUR as money pot - this is used for groceries, habour fees, and diesel for the yacht.
What about our meals onboard?
We usually prepare our meals on board ourselves. On some days, we have the opportunity to eat out ashore in the evenings. When cooking, we can form teams of two, so that each person takes turns cooking/washing up. However, everyone usually helps out anyway.
Preparation in advance:
In the crew chat, we can discuss meal and beverage planning before the tour begins. If you have any intolerances or allergies, please inform us in advance in the crew chat so that they can be taken into account during shopping.
Shopping:
On the first day of the tour, we'll plan our shopping together using a shopping list. As a crew, we all buy groceries together for our week.
Each person should bring two large cloth bags so that we don't have to use plastic bags on site. If the supermarket is not within walking distance, we can have the groceries delivered to the harbor by taxi. During the tour, we have the opportunity to buy small items on land.
