SAILING AREA

Our sailing courses are generally in the Saronic and Argolic Gulfs where conditions are predictable and ideal for sailing. The weather is almost always sunny and warm. Winds are normally light to moderate, an ideal training environment. Our base and starting point is on the island of Poros where we also operate the shore based and pre flotilla courses. Poros is a long established yachting base and an attractive holiday island with a proud history.

The live aboard courses will typically visit other islands such as Aegina and Angistri as well as the attractive Peloponnese coast. There are plenty of challenges for trainee skippers, with stronger winds, traffic separation schemes, sectional lights, and numerous fast boats and busy ferry ports to deal with.  All under the experienced eye of one of our instructors.

This is a scenic and beautiful area and there will be time during the course for swimming off the boat, sight-seeing and exploring. You will find information about some of the places you can visit on our Links page. They include spectacular ancient ruins, picturesque fishing villages and attractive historic towns. The area maintains its traditional Greek character and, although you will find foreign tourists, resorts are geared to Athenian holidaymakers rather than the package tourists, which is always a good sign for the authentic lifestyle and traditional Greek cuisine.

We have chosen this wonderful area as our home and look forward to welcoming you.
