Come on for sailing holidays on my yacht in the Greek islands.

Updated on 7/3/2020.

Sailing experience welcome but not necessary.

Not for smokers.

Not for party animals, ravers, junkies, hippies, drinkers and bar people. It is not party time.

Not for internet/social media addicts.

Not for couples or two or more friends travelling together.

Mainly for nature lovers.

Expenses on a share contribution basis. About 10 euros/day.

I am looking for sailing mates. It is simply sailing holidays for the host and the crew. Sailing, swimming, sunbathing, snorkeling, star watching at lonely anchorages, enjoying healthy food and good wine, lazy days and interesting conversations.

For experienced sailors, this is simply enjoyable, lazy, sailing holidays without any special requirements in one of the most beautiful and famous sailing destinations on earth. For first timers? I don't know... Something between Heaven and hell.

Aegean Sea is my sailing area and is not big as the Atlantic. The islands are close to each other. The sailing hours will be from one hour to maximum 8 hours in a day. And not every day. I have no certain itinerary and every day, I and my crew member (you) will decide together for the next sailing destination. Or to stay there and enjoy the place one or more days. We are also extremely weather dependent.

The only permanent destination is "the good time and good fun".

If we agree that you can join me, I will be able to know our meeting point only three days before. But don't worry about, because if you land to Athens, then by ferry you can join me quite easily. Your disembarkation can also be on any island on your last day or before in case we are not quite happy on board. The ferry connections to Athens and to surrounding islands are quite well.

Your duties will be simple general house keeping. You will keep the boat clean and tidy, nothing more than your home. If you can also cook I will be happy. I am talking about working minutes and not working hours. Of course you can practice sailing.

One guest cabin is available for one or two crew members. The two should share the cabin or one will be sleeping in the salon couch or on deck under the tend and the stars.

It is great on deck watching thousands of stars!

Crew members should be financially independent meaning that they should be able to pay their own expenses such as food in taverns, drinks, taxis, ferries, etc.

The Yacht is 40 feet (12 m), very well equipped for long term sailing and living aboard.
