Greece Sailing Practice - Saronic Islands by Yacht | 27 Mar - 3 Apr 2027
About this sailing adventure
Spring is the best time to learn on a yacht in Greece. The marinas are half empty, the passages between the islands are short and the bays are sheltered, so there is room to practise manoeuvres without the summer crowds. This is a week of real practice on board, not a passenger cruise. Together with a professional skipper we plan each passage against the forecast, take the helm, handle the sails and moor in Greek harbours. We start and finish at Alimos Marina in Athens, about 30 km from the airport. The route runs to Hydra, the island without cars where donkeys and water taxis do the work, then the old port of Baltiza on Spetses, the clock tower and pine hills of Poros, the quiet volcanic peninsula of Methana, Moni with its deer and peacocks, and Aegina, the pistachio capital of Greece. On the last day we go over the key skills again on the way back to Alimos. Evenings are spent in waterfront tavernas or on board. Tell us about your experience when booking and the skipper will match the programme to your level. Boarding is on Saturday and we leave the yacht at 09:00 the following Saturday. Included are a place in a double cabin, the yacht, the skipper, bed linen and towels, final cleaning and a dinghy with outboard. Flights and the boat kitty for food, fuel and moorings (about 250-300 EUR per person) are extra. ⛵️ Sailing practice with Katran Yachting School 📍 Alimos Marina, Athens, Greece 📅 27 March - 3 April 2027 (also 3-10 April 2027) A new island almost every day and new skills every evening.
