Planning your first sailing holiday in Greece? Great choice! Here are 10 useful tips to help you organize the perfect trip:
1. You don’t need a sailing license
If you don’t have a skipper license, no worries – you can rent a boat with a professional skipper. Just relax and enjoy!
2. Different boat types to choose from
Monohulls, catamarans, motor yachts. Each one offers a different experience and price. We’ll help you pick the best option.
3. Summer is high season
July & August get very busy. It’s best to book 3–6 months in advance.
4. Routes depend on more than just distance
You can go almost anywhere, but routes depend on weather, boat range, and local conditions. A good plan makes all the difference.
5. You won’t always stay in marinas
Often you’ll anchor in small bays or near beaches. It’s a magical experience.
6. Costs vary depending on many factors
Season, boat type, number of guests, fuel, extras, etc. It might be more affordable than you think.
7. Boats are fully equipped
Most boats include a kitchen, toilet, shower, and in many cases A/C. You can live comfortably on board.
8. Skippers know the best spots
They don’t just sail the boat – they know hidden coves, tavernas, and the best places to swim and eat.
9. You don’t need to bring much
Swimsuit, towel, sunglasses, sunscreen, windbreaker, and good vibes!
10. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience
Waking up in a quiet bay, surrounded by sea and sky – that’s something you’ll never forget.
