We offer a wonderful sailing holiday on the Mediterranean sea on the Grecian coast. You can join us for 1, 2 or 3 weeks on board. During your trip you can learn as much sailing as you want or improve your knowledge of sailing. If you just want to relax, you are most welcome to enjoy the sea & wind and to soak up the sun at you leisure (swimwear optional :) ) on the front deck. Have a swim and enjoy the food, it’s your holiday!
You will sail on a 49 feet Bavaria, this is a 15,5 meter long sailing yacht.
The ship offers accommodation for a maximum of 8 guests, with five huts (sleeping two each) and three toilet/shower cabins. Two huts have twin beds, two huts have bunk beds and one hut is for the skipper and his boyfriend. When making your booking please indicate your preference and we will try to accommodate you if available.
Inside is a salon and a kitchen. The ship has a huge outdoor sitting area, a sundeck, a swimming platform with outside shower, to use after a great dive in the blue Mediterranean See. book here with us |

Mark van den Eshof is a fully licensed skipper and sailing instructor with over 15 years of experience with gay tour groups on the Mediterranean and North Sea: Croatia, France, England and last but not least: Greece. Mark speaks English, French, German, Dutch and Spanish. We ensure you will have a wonderful, comfortable but above all safe cruise on our sailing yacht in Greece.
Mark’s partner, Sander, joins most of the sailing trips. He is the co-skipper taking care of the catering on board, so you will have all the drinks and food you need! Sander is an art history major. If you are interested, he can take you on excursion to visit all the ancient Greek sights, like the amphitheater of Epidaurus, the temples on Aegina Island, the Greek monastery for Leonido, the old city of Monemvasia, and many more
We sail along the Peloponnesian coastline. This is a beautiful part of Greece, and unlike Kos and Crete, is not yet encroached by tourists. We sail between the peninsula and the wonderful Peloponnesian islands. The whole roundtrip takes 3 weeks in July and 2 weeks in August and September. 2 weeks in May are optional. You are of course welcome to join us for just one or two weeks. During the roundtrip we always will enter the harbor on the weekends (ETA 3 PM) with a fast ferry connection to Athens.
The sailing trips normally last four to five hours a day, depending on the distance and the wind. If possible we anchor out in a bay during the trip for lunch and a swim stop. Most of the time we arrive around 3 p.m. in the next harbor, so you have plenty of time for sightseeing, a drink on a terrace, do some shopping, or to go to the beach. Of course you can also just stay on board and relax. Breakfast and lunch are always on board and is arranged by crew or guests. At night we have most of the time dinner together in one of the local restaurants. If you like you can go partying after dinner in the bigger villages, so long as you are back in time in the morning before we set sail :) . Sometimes we stay overnight in a bay. Naturally we will have diner on board then.
