PRIVATE YACHT CRUISE IN THE GREEK ISLANDS
We designed this program with the budget-minded traveler in mind, who still wants to experience a luxurious and relaxing vacation on a private boat without the necessity of previous experience crewing on a vessel, and without the hassle of having to charter a yacht on one's own.
Our 51.2 ft wooden boats feature 4 private cabins with bath, sleeping up to two persons each. Overnight moored in a different port each night with access to all the local infrastructure, restaurants, bars and nightlife. The days are spent sailing, sightseeing or anchoring bays or coves with ample opportunity to swim and relax.
The itinerary is tentative in nature, as local wind and weather conditions may necessitate amendments on the spot by the skipper. Regardless of the final route, you will always be in a town or harbor for the night, and our crews and knowledgeable local representatives will look after your wellbeing.
