Very recommended chartercompany with professional management. No greek privat yachts, but professional maintained newer Bavaria-yachts in steady working bases and a well organized staff!
Important In Greece, a proper sailing-licence Class A (for Ocean sailing) is needed PLUS a second skipper with a B-licence (proofs knowledge of sailing-experience). If you do not have sailing-licences in your country, please check for a certification of a local sailing-club or another and valid proof of sailing-experience.
Information about the sailing area
If you have not so much sailing-experience, we recommend to choose the Ionian Sea with Corfu and Lefkas or the East Mediterranean Sea with Samos or Kos and Rhodes for your sailing-trip. The Cyclades and Central Aegaean Sea are definitely not for beginners - already in July and August there can be Meltemi with 6-8 Beaufort blowing for days from N to NW or NE. The greek charterlaw prohibits to leave the harbour at more than 6 Bft, and if you leave, the insurance might not pay in case of an accident!
Sometimes trips from SE (f.e. Rhodes) to NW (f.e.Athens)are offered pretty cheap - the reason is, that this returning-trips are against the wind all the time, and a VERY sportive and exhausting sailing!
If you sail from Athens and must return to Athens, make sure, that you have 65% of the planned distance from home-harbour after 50% of the time, and only 35% to sail back in the left 50% of time, avoiding to get in trouble with return-schedule and your flights!
SkipperIf you want book a skipper, please note, that the skipper has right of an own cabin.
Our skippers do not sleep on deck or somewhere in the corner, and only on personal agreement, they sleep in the salon. Please do not plan to overbook the boat - the mentioned berths on board are binded by law and can not be extended! If f.e. your group is 8 persons, and you sail with an own skipper, the boat can be with 8 berths in 3 or 4 cabins. If you want to book a skipper, you must take a boat with 4 or 5 cabins! |
