Frequently Asked Questions

The skippered sailing boat has designed to provide a skipper  to sail and be responsible for the  yacht.

There is a local professional crew of 2  ( 1 skipper and 1 mariner well trained ).

Above all else, the skipper is responsible for the safety of his crew, the travelers  and vessel.
Also, he is responsible for the maintenance of the systems.
The working hours for a skipper are maximum eight, out at sea.
But for multi days trip he is in charge of the boat’s safety, something that might keep him awake for the whole night, if the circumstances require it.
Conclusively he is the hospitable host who will answer all of your questions.

An deckhand cook is always part of the crew during your sailing trip, preparing  authentic, simple but delicious Greek dishes and  compliment them with water, wine, soft drinks and of course snacks.

Focus only on your personal belongings. Sun protection stuff is mandatory. Keep in mind that the Greek sun is very strong. Beach towels are always useful.

Theoretically our yacht is certified by it’s designers to sail in all the weather conditions, but because we have customized our activities in cruising, the insurance companies as well as the authorities have adjusted their terms in this direction.
So we cannot sail when the wind is strong.
As all depends on the weather, so according this, the captain’s knowledge and skills are necessary to make or change the itinerary and the schedule on daily trips.
Finally night sailing is not allowed except if it’s a matter of safety.

That depends on the trip. Have a look at our destination page.
For 2 day or multi day trips : Our skippers will give you directions when make a stop at a nice anchorage. Also they can arrange for a rental  in case that you wish to drive around.
The dinners are not include in price and taken ashore because Greek food is a part of Greek lifestyle experience.
