a week with
, day by day
seven days out of alimos marina, seven islands and anchorages in the saronic gulf, and about as much sailing as your crew fancies.
this is a real week, not a fixed programme. we build the route around your society, then keep it flexible so we can chase the best breeze and the best anchorages once we see what the weather's doing. the shape below is what most weeks look like.
every boat has unlimited superfast satellite internet, so you're connected the whole way round, and our discounted pre-trip skipper training can take sailors who already have some experience and get them qualified and ready to lead a boat out there.
saturday | day 1
you land, you get to alimos marina, there's a drink waiting. then the bit that makes it feel real: handover on your own yacht, a proper safety brief, and a supermarket run to stock her up for the week. lines off in the late afternoon and a short hop round to a quiet anchorage for the first night on board.
sunday | day 2
you wake up somewhere you'd otherwise only see on a screen. swim off the back of the boat before breakfast, then an easy first passage to get the crew working together, with a stop somewhere deep and blue on the way. into town for the evening, dinner ashore and a night out with our dj on the decks.
monday | day 3
the big sailing day. the breeze fills in around late morning and you get proper hours on the water, everyone taking a turn on the helm. lunch is a swim stop somewhere with nobody else in sight. that evening the whole fleet rafts up together, boats tied side by side, dinner passed between decks and the stars coming out over the top of it.
tuesday | day 4
an early start pays off and you're into aegina with the whole afternoon to spend on it: the prettiest harbour of the week, and worth getting off the boat and exploring properly. in the evening we take over a spot right on the water for a private event, with the dj we bring out with us.
wednesday | day 5
everyone's favourite day, and it always surprises them. a bay to yourselves, the fleet rafted up, swimming straight off the deck, cards out and dinner cooked on board. this is usually the day a group of people who go sailing together turns into an actual crew.
thursday | day 6
on to poros, where the town wraps right around the water and the afternoon is yours. by now someone who'd never sailed before is bringing the boat alongside on their own, which is the moment most people remember. last night ashore, and one everyone still brings up years later.
friday | day 7
a last sail back to alimos with the week behind you and the whole thing getting retold on the bow. boats handed back, everyone knackered in the best way, and a camera roll that's going to take a fortnight to get through. by the time you're off the pontoon someone's already talking about next year.
