Sailing in Greece start in Mid-April and goes on until late October.

If you are free to choose the dates of your holiday, you should consider picking one season over the other. To help you choose correctly, this is what each season offers:

April and May: The months with the lowest touristic occupancy. Enjoy privacy in the most beautiful bays, feel the authentic hospitality in taverns, restaurants and bars, and have a laid back, relaxing experience even on the most popular islands like Mykonos and Santorini. Keep in mind, though, that all this beauty comes with a bit of chilly waters and the sun may be shy for a day or two, during a week.

June and October: Expect in average smooth weather conditions and pleasant seawater temperature. With a moderate touristic activity in most of the Greek islands, apart from the most cosmopolitan ones, you can still enjoy some secluded bays in privacy, while

July to September: The heart of summer in Greece. Happenings for every taste and traditional fiestas are setting vibrant vibes on the islands. On top of that, the dry weather and the warm seas, attract plenty of visitors. So, on the downside, you should be prepared to share the most beautiful places.

To evaluate the catamaran vs yacht debate, we must first comprehend the key structural difference. A catamaran is a sailing vessel with two hulls, also known as a yacht, whereas a yacht in this context is a sailing vessel with one hull, also known as a monohull.
The right pick, between the two of them, is clearly a matter of the intended experience.
A sailing yacht is clearly more enjoyable to sail, takes up less space when moored, and usually costs less per cabin than a catamaran. A more stable catamaran, on the other hand, provides greater space and is less expensive per square meter of space.

If you are thirsty for a holiday full of experiences, then you want more than just a beautiful sailing trip. On every island you’ll find what we call “local heroes”, professionals who are offering activities, from a diving class to a mountain bike challenge and from a sunset yoga session to a wine tasting tour in a local vineyard.

Especially, when sailing with kids, fun activities for the whole family should be your number one priority. We are always trying to keep children’s’ interest with both on board and on the land.

Skipper is another word for captain in small ships. However, they are much more valuable for your holiday than a captain who will bring you from A to B safely.

You can consider your skipper as: The guy to take care of everything regarding the yacht. From the technical handover to the checkout.

Personal tour guide: A skipper should be familiar with the area and the language, if not a native, who will give you insights about what to do, see and experience, based on your needs.

Trip planner: The most important and difficult part of a sailing trip is the right planning. Taking mainly into consideration the weather conditions, your wishes and the options which the area offers, the skipper will be coming with the best possible plan every day.

Safety guy: A good skipper will put the safety of their crew and the boat first. Even at the slightest details, which you may cannot notice, but this makes a big difference in enjoying every moment carefree.

Sailing teacher: Not all the skippers share the same excitement, about teaching, but if***********

Cook: While it is solely your responsibility to ensuring that your skipper is fed, sometimes your skipper may surprise you! Many have great skills you might want to take advantage of if offered.
