Description

Skipper training in the Mediterranean, yacht handling and holiday – by women for women.

11.10.2026 to 17.10.2026

Besides a wonderful week's holiday, the content of this trip includes relaxed instruction in the fundamentals of yacht handling for a medium-sized cruising yacht. Guaranteed mansplaining-free! The crew is to consist exclusively of female participants, so that no one need feel inhibited about taking the helm herself. Stern-to mooring with mooring lines or bow anchor, correct anchoring (with and without shore lines), passage planning right through to questions of yacht handover at a charter base. All this takes place on an equal footing, underpinned by mutual respect and appreciation. The exchange of experience is always welcome.

Since, in my experience, most women tend to hold back during skipper training and would rather let the men take the helm, I would like to create an environment here in which everyone can practise at her own pace. No watching from the second row — but doing it yourself. Without pressure, without lecturing.

In contrast to my practical trips preparing for SKS and SSS examinations, the focus here is on relaxed days aboard. In the off-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 skipper training: anchorages, small harbours, and of course tavernas everywhere.

Yacht handling and holidays from Athens — All-inclusive!

A maximum of 8 female crew can sail along. Guests are accommodated in three double-berth 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 a tranquil spot at anchor or in harbour. I have known the sailing area for over ten years. During the day we sail short distances and can also run a few "exercises" on arrival in harbours or at anchorages, so that everyone who wants to can have a turn at the helm or on the lines.

This trip is also suitable for pure "holidaymakers". There is ample time to relax.

On board there is a comprehensive breakfast, prepared by the permanent crew. They are 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 in a cosy restaurant ashore. Here each participant pays her own costs.

After everyone has arrived on the day of arrival (Sunday) and settled into their cabins, there is a briefing on safety and the yacht. Then we cast off straightaway, sail to a small bay and discuss your wishes and ideas for the coming five full sailing days. As a rule, we shall be back in our base in Lavrion by Friday evening, so that a stress-free departure for all guests is possible on Saturday. I need the yacht back "guest-free" from 10:00 a.m. If you wish, you can share your ideas and thoughts when you make contact. Each participant should return home enriched by a wonderful experience and with lots of photos, increased self-confidence in handling a yacht and new contacts.

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