Description

Captain George was raised and educated in Australia and has over 35years of experience in skippering sea craft around the Greek Islands and is the creator of the sunset cruise in its present form! His passion for the sea and tradition has lead him to restore one of the most important boats that was used for transportation of people and goods between the islands and the mainland for centuries.

The Boat:

With Captain George you will bob along the turquoise waters on board this amazing sailing yacht.

This beautiful wooden Greek sailboat boasts plenty of space for you and up to 22 of your guests to relax and provides enough shaded areas for a reprise from the suns scorching rays, with plenty of room for everyone to have the space they need to either sit and enjoy sipping wine or lying back and sunbathing on the top deck.

She is ideal for small groups, families and miscellaneous celebrations, for example: weddings, anniversaries, bachelor or birthday parties, etc.

The design is based on crafts sailing the Aegean Sea for over 2,500 years. This unique design offers comfort and space and it’s the perfect sailing structure for the Aegean which has not been improved upon since the ancient Greeks mariners first sailed these waters.

The yacht was rebuilt in 2005 with a 15 meter mast, a long keel with permanent flaps that make sailing a joy.

And as a wooden vessel demands, she is annually cared, maintained and improved thus keeping her in shipshape sailing condition.

The yacht has all the safety equipment and facilities along with the know-how to assure a safe trip.

Now ready, she awaits to give you the pleasure of cruising with her.

We also cater for VIP tours, private charters, sunset cruise and individual itineraries, BBQ trips and full day tours around Santorini and the surrounding Islands.

A crater! How deep is santorini bay that is connected to the Aegean Sea and you can sail into? White washed houses and churches on volcanic cliffs that rise up from the sea around you, the Atlantis theory! All this makes this place a source of inspiration to anyone who visits.”

About Captain George

Captain George was raised and educated in Australia and has over 35 years experience in skippering sea craft around the Greek Islands and is the creator of the sunset cruise in its present form! His passion for the sea and tradition has lead him to restore one of the most important boats that was used for transportation of people and goods between the islands and the mainland for centuries.

It all started back in the early 90’s when he started BBQ cruises on Santorini and various islands in the Aegean – reminiscent of the Australian weekends of his youth. The boat is the S/Y Eleftheria, a 55-foot wooden built traditional Greek Kaiki -Trechandiri or working boat, which nowadays are open museums and carry memories of a world that is fading right in front of us. We also cater for VIP tours, private charters, sunset cruise and individual itineraries, BBQ trips and full day tours around Santorini and the surrounding Islands.

FAQs

What type of yacht should I charter?
No matter what type of yacht you choose to charter, we know that you will have a fantastic time on the water. If you are more about the journey, and want a relaxing time aboard, then choose from one of the many sailboats on the platform. If you are more about the destination, and going fast, check out the powerboats on Sailo. For an exclusive experience, Sailo recommends chartering a luxurious yacht for the day. Finally, Sailo has access to many event boats as well for group outings from 50 - 1,000 guests. If you are still unsure, then just ask! Read more
What should I bring?
Bring yourself, and some comfortable clothes suitable to the season you are going to be out on the water. Please keep in mind that it is often 10 degrees cooler out on the water, so a jacket or windbreaker is never a bad idea. We also recommend bringing a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses, as well as a swimsuit if appropriate for your charter location. Please coordinate with your captain regarding any food or drinks that you wish to bring aboard. For term-charters, Sailo recommends using soft-sided luggage, and keeping it simple. Read more
How long does a rental last?
The basic daily rental is structured as either a quarter-, half-, or full-day. A quarter-day is two hours, a half-day is four hours, and a full-day is eight hours. You can also discuss a custom trip with the boat by contacting the owner through Sailo. Most term charters (weekly rentals) are from Saturday to Saturday. Keep in mind that the boat generally needs to be back at the dock by Friday evening, and you will need to be off the boat on Saturday morning so they can prepare the boat for the next guests.
