Calculating your overall travel budget
Food is not included in our pricing.
Provisioning from the local market with fresh fruits, salads, snacks for breakfast and light lunch on board is highly recommended during the trip to make the most out of the day and not spend too much time in the kitchen.
Dinners take place in chosen quality places on land. Usual spendings are approx 30-50€/person for the whole trip’s provisioning and usual dinner cost approx 25€/person for each dinner.
Final figure depends on the group’s appetite and spending style. Food allowance for the skipper is 40€/day, alternatively he shares meals with group.
Tipping the skipper (and the hostess, if applicable) is customary when you receive excellent service during your holiday. Our crew are dedicated professionals who rely on this work to support their families, and gratuities represent an important part of their income.
The amount is entirely at your discretion. As a guideline:
Private departures: €300–€1,500, depending on the level of service you have received
Physical rating
The physical demands of sailing trips naturally vary based on the itinerary and activities included.
Standard trips requires a moderate level of physical ability, such as navigating around the yacht or managing steps.
Participating in any included activity may involve not only swimming and snorkeling but also hiking, which can significantly increase the activity level. While the hikes are not technical, safe participation requires the ability to walk for 2-3 hours with considerable elevation changes without becoming overly fatigued.
Although no prior experience is typically necessary, maintaining a basic level of fitness and mobility will help you fully enjoy the adventure.
Weather
The sailing season features mostly sunny days, with temperatures ranging from 20°C to 30°C (68°F to 86°F). Winds are typically steady and predictable but vary by location, offering great conditions for sailing enthusiasts of all levels. The season starts mid-March and finishes at the end of November. Peak of the season is mid-July to end of Aug.
From mid June to start of Sep we have north prevailing winds which can be strong for a few days (eg 2-3 days) in a row. These winds are locally known as ‘meltemi’ and are very predictable. We always adjust the itinerary of the trip to maximize the fun and comfort factor for everyone onboard.
