Our Sailing Area


Our sailing courses run in the Saronic and Argolic Gulfs and Cyclades Island group. As a general rule the wind is normally F3 - F5, ideal for sailing. You can get stronger winds in the Cyclades Island group. 

These winds provide good experience and do not usually blow for more than a few days at a time. The weather is sunny and dry from May to September. Outside these months you should expect the occasional thunderstorm and there may be some cloudy days

The area provides plenty of variety with busy harbours near to Athens and un-spoilt village quays on the Peloponnese coast. There are plenty of challenges for trainee skippers, with traffic separation schemes, sectional lights, and numerous fast boats and ferry routes to deal with.

 

The Cyclades Islands.

This is an attractive area and there will be time during the course for swimming and sight-seeing.  They include historical ruins, fishing ports, and picturesque towns. The area is very Greek and, although you will find foreign tourists, resorts are geared to Athenian holidaymaker rather than the package tour brigade.
