Life aboard

Here’s what you can expect for a week-long charter with one of our experienced skippers:

Arrival and Preparation

We recommend arriving at the marina around midday. This allows ample time for provisioning (unless you’ve opted for full pre-provisioning) and the chance to set sail that afternoon. While the marina has a small, albeit pricey, shop, we suggest taking a 10-minute walk to the well-stocked Kritikos Supermarket for more extensive shopping. They offer a wide range of products and will deliver your purchases to the marina free of charge. Plan for 2–3 hours to complete provisioning and preparing the boat.

Once aboard (typically between 15:00 and 17:00), we’ll hold a safety briefing and orientation to familiarise you with the vessel and protocols. This is often a perfect time to kick off your adventure with a light snack and a drink.

Setting Sail

We recommend leaving the port that same afternoon, even for a short sail, to enjoy your first night at anchor. Sipping a beverage  at sun-set, dining under the stars, and waking up to a refreshing swim in a serene bay beats staying in a noisy marina every time.

Itinerary and Sailing Style

Your skipper will collaborate with you to plan the itinerary, but safety and well-being remain our top priority. Ultimately, the final route will depend on weather conditions, ensuring a safe and enjoyable journey. We aim to offer as much hands-on sailing experience as you desire. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor looking to refine your skills or a beginner eager to learn, this can be a week of discovery and growth.
