Ahoy – I'm Michael Böttger, born 1972 and a skipper by passion
Hospitality is very important to me; welcoming 'strangers' and making them feel like part of the family for a while has become my life's purpose.
Likewise, I want to share the joy of sailing and take you on a very special journey aboard Catamaran Didyma!
As skipper and owner, safety for crew and boat always has the highest priority for me!
I've been living in the Aegean for more than 10 years and know the land and its people.
But above all, I know the most beautiful spots for you, which we can only reach by sea…

1.
On a sailing holiday you're closely connected with nature. Of course, you're on the water almost all day, letting the wind carry you across the sea. You feel the breeze on your skin and everything glides slowly past you. No wonder this way of travelling is one where you unwind quickly and recover fast. Explore the land of antiquity by sea. Relax in the sea breeze and leave the hectic pace of modern times far behind. On a sailing holiday away from the tourist crowds, you can experience people, history and nature whilst embarking on culinary discoveries.
2.
Experience the fascination of sailing yourself, have an unforgettable sailing holiday, join in with casting off lines, hoisting sails, steering, dropping anchor right through to cooking. Here you have the opportunity to learn how this sailing business actually works. What wind do we need to be able to sail and which knots do I need to secure a fender? You can decide for yourself whether to sail actively or just relax and let yourself be sailed.
3.
On board you'll meet open-minded like-minded people of all ages. From absolute sailing novices to sailing professionals, everyone's here. But they all have one thing in common: everyone wants to spend a fantastic time on board. Whether travelling solo, as couples, friends or family, everyone is warmly welcome. You'll quickly notice that there are really great people here. I can only say myself, the group dynamics were always brilliant and we had lots of fun together. Meet people and perhaps make a new friendship.

Sailing trip

Brilliant experience with a superb skipper.

Over the last few years I've now been out on the Catamaran Dydima with skipper Michael 6 times, most recently in September 2023, and each time I've enjoyed a wonderful, relaxed holiday (always 2 weeks).

For the skipper, the safety of the guests and the catamaran comes first, and that everyone has a lovely holiday.

The cat. is well equipped and offers enough space for everyone even when fully occupied (max. 9 guests).
The two large nets at the bow invite you to relax, chill out or sleep, and there are plenty of other opportunities to lie on deck, enjoy the sun and let the wind blow through your hair. The large saloon offers enough space even in bad weather.
You can actively help with setting the sails, mooring/casting off manoeuvres and even take the helm yourself with the skipper at your side. Or you can simply enjoy the sailing.
The skipper is happy to explain everything about sailing to those who are interested.

On arrival day, the fridges and drinks supplies for the first few days are already well stocked.
The first night on board, the cat usually lies at anchor at the departure harbour. (If all guests arrive early, the sails are sometimes set on the first day and a secluded bay nearby is sought out to anchor there.) Otherwise the trip starts on Sunday after a good breakfast and a thorough safety briefing. The sailing route depends on weather and wind; the skipper discusses the options with the guests.
Secluded bays for swimming, snorkelling or overnight stays (where cooking is done on board) are preferred destinations. But small harbour towns for strolling and exploring as well as dining in tavernas are also destinations.

Switching off from everyday stress, slowing down and enjoying your holiday happens very quickly if you're willing to get on board a safely skippered catamaran with a hospitable skipper who can also cook well.
