Trip Highlights

Sail on a small private catamaran with other like-minded travelers

Explore unique islands like Poros, Hydra & Aegina

Visit ancient sites like a Doric Temple & 4th century amphitheater

Feast on seasonal Greek cuisine

Swim in pristine waters & watch the sunset every night 


Are you dreaming of crystal-clear turquoise waters, magenta-colored bougainvillea or olive green hills in the distance? Tucked between the Greek peninsulas of Attica and Argolis, the Saronic Gulf is filled with incredibly unique islands like Aegina, where pistachio groves dot the hills, and Poros and Hydra, where you can step back in time. At each port you'll have the opportunity to enjoy onshore experiences, including a preserved Doric temple to a 4th century amphitheater famed for its acoustics and a visit to a local organic winery that has been family owned for generations. Aboard our catamaran you'll enjoy daily breakfasts and lunches freshly prepared with local produce and specialties as well as the opportunity to learn or practice your sailing skills. And of course many gorgeous sunsets and midday swims in the crystal-clear waters.

Join us in May 2025 for a special yoga retreat with Leti Alvarez! Enjoy morning flows on the deck and evening meditations as the sun goes down.
