Description

In a week under sail in paradise, we combine holiday and knowledge transfer in a relaxed way, without exam pressure on a 14-metre sailing yacht (Dufour 460) starting and finishing in Athens, fixed price, completely carefree, no additional onboard kitty, vessel operating costs and much more included.

Departure and destination harbour is the Olympic Marina in Lavrion (Sounion) near Athens.

The content of the trips includes, besides a lovely holiday week, a relaxed introduction to fundamental yacht-handling skills in this sailing area. Berthing stern-to with mooring lines or bow anchor, proper anchoring (with and without shore lines), passage planning through to questions about taking over a yacht at a charter base. All this takes place on an equal footing, supported by mutual respect and appreciation. Exchange of experience is always welcome.

In the post-season, temperatures and weather are still summery by our standards. Plenty of sunshine, Mediterranean flair and pleasant water temperatures. The waters of the Saronic Gulf offer everything we need for this: anchor bays, small harbours, and of course tavernas everywhere. Skipper Pauline has known the area for over ten years and has good contacts everywhere.

A maximum of 6–8 crew members can sail with us. Guests are accommodated in three double-bed cabins and one bunk cabin; my co-skipper and I sleep in our own double cabin. No one sleeps in the saloon. In the evenings we are always at an inviting spot at anchor or in harbour. I have known the area for over ten years. During the day we sail short distances and can also run through a few 'exercises' on arrival in harbour or at anchorage, so that everyone who wants to can also take the helm or handle the lines.

There is also plenty of opportunity for swimming stops and dinghy fun. This trip is also suitable for people who simply want to enjoy the maritime Mediterranean atmosphere on board. Nobody h a s to 'practise'.

On board there is a comprehensive breakfast, prepared by the permanent crew. The permanent crew is also responsible for the safe operation of the vessel. When we are on board, there is also a light lunch during the day. All drinks on board are included. Evening meals take place at a cosy restaurant ashore. Here each participant pays their own costs. The permanent crew also pays for their own evening meals and is not a burden on your 'purse' 😉.

After everyone has arrived on the arrival day (Sunday) and moved into their cabins, there is a briefing on safety and the vessel. Then we cast off, head to a small bay and discuss your wishes and expectations for the coming five full sailing days. We will usually be back at our base in Lavrion on Friday evening, so that a stress-free departure for all guests is possible on Saturday.

If you wish, you can share your ideas and thoughts during initial contact. Each participant should return home enriched by a lovely experience and with many photos, greater confidence in handling a yacht and new contacts.

The transfer from Athens Airport takes about 45 minutes by Uber and costs €40–50.

Group discount from 5 people. When booking a double cabin solo (single occupancy) there is a 75% surcharge on the individual price.
Included in the price:
- Permanent crew (skipper, co-skipper)
- Breakfast, daytime snacks (when we are on board), all drinks
- Permanent crew of the yacht (vessel operation, service)
- All vessel operating costs (diesel to harbour fees)
- Bed linen, towels
