Description
We are a small sailing business run by a couple, and we’re happy you found us.
For us, this is not just a boat trip. It’s a journey — personal, calm, and real. Our boat becomes your floating home, and we are not simply crew. We are your travel companions and guides along the way. We value our passengers as guests, and we share the trip the same way we would with our own friends.
We sail to smaller, less crowded islands and places that have kept their local character. Along the way, we share our love for sailing and our knowledge of Greek culture, history, and mythology.
These waters have been sailed for thousands of years, and following those routes gives every journey a deeper meaning.
We visit secluded bays, beautiful towns and ports, suggest hiking paths, swim, fish when conditions allow, and let the days unfold naturally — the local way.
We don’t focus on luxury. We focus on the experience and the journey itself. The feeling on board is relaxed, wholesome, and authentic — about being present, connected to the sea, and enjoying summer in Greece as it truly is.
Our boat is a 51.2 ft Ocean Star — a Greek-built sailing yacht designed for Mediterranean travel. She is spacious, seaworthy, and equally suited for cruising and real sailing. Built in 2000, she is one of the few pieces produced, and we have been renovating her ourselves over the past four years. She is our Princess, and we take great care of her. On board, there are five cabins, four toilets, and a large, comfortable cockpit where most of life happens during the journey.
We offer two main types of journeys: coastal sailing in Crete and its surrounding islands (e.g. Dia island), or island hopping in the Cyclades. The starting point can be either Crete or Santorini, depending on the trip you choose. In the Cyclades, we prefer islands that are less popular and more serene, places that have preserved their soul — to name but a few Anafi, Astypalaia, Amorgos, Irakleia, and Koufonisia.
Each route is flexible and always discussed with our guests. Weather conditions and wind direction are essential in planning, and they guide our final decisions. Based on the forecast, we usually prepare two or three possible route options, choosing what feels safest and most enjoyable for everyone on board.
For practical details: the skipper and hostess are included in the price. Basic amenities such as water, linen, towels and snorkeling equipment are included. Fuel and port expenses (if any) are also included. Although the boat has a larger capacity, we welcome a maximum of six guests to keep the experience personal, comfortable, and unhurried.
If you have any questions, we’ll be happy to answer them through Sailo’s messaging platform.
This experience is for travelers looking for something different — not just moving from one beautiful island to another, but truly tasting Greek summer at sea, its culture, rhythm, and way of life.

Crew
We are a couple with over 10 years of sailing experience, and we run our small sailing business entirely on our own. From bookings to sailing, everything is handled by us. We have one boat, and we are always the crew on board, which makes every trip genuine and personal, shaped by our love for the sea. George is the skipper, licensed for open-sea sailing, radio communication, and first aid. He holds two Master’s degrees in geopolitics and has a deep interest in history and fishing. Marina is the hostess, also licensed for open-sea sailing, with studies in English Literature and a Bachelor’s degree in American Studies. We speak English, French, Spanish, and Russian. We mention our studies not to impress, but because they shape how we host. We enjoy sharing stories, context, and insight, and helping guests connect more deeply with the places they visit.
