What we’re about
Welcome! I'm glad you're here.
Imagine traveling the world on a private yacht, with a professional captain to guide you through the journey. Even if you have no experience sailing or boating, this opportunity is available to you. Spots are sold by cabin or as a single, so you can join in on the adventure no matter your group size.
Explore beautiful destinations like Greece, Grenadines, Cuba, British Virgin Islands, Croatia, and Bahamas, all while learning about sailing and taking the helm if you desire. Or simply relax and enjoy the scenery as you cruise through the waters. With sails originating from all over the world, there's no limit to where you can go. Bring your curiosity and laughter aboard and let the journey begin.
Captain Joy
Greece ALWAYS delivers. We're going back. This trip is our most popular.
All boats include captains and hostess/host who prepares breakfasts and lunches. Dinners are ashore so we can sample the fantastic cuisine of Greece.
The Saronic Gulf is a favorite sailing destination. Sailing from Alimos Marina (Athens) is a perfect way to discover these islands. We visit the Aegina, Spetses, and Hydra, including Epidaurus on the Peloponnese and Poros. Explore each stop with an e bike or 4 wheeler (extra charge) or your two feet!
We stop each afternoon for enough time to explore the quaint seaside towns, shop and dine in some of the best restaurants in the world! Sit along a seaside cliff restaurant and watch a beautiful sunset.
We sail on large catamarans with plenty of space and super comfortable. All cabins are private doubles with their own bathrooms (heads).
No experience necessary! Sit back and relax or hone in on your sailing skills. We make life-long friends on these sails.

The Abacos, are renowned for being one of the best sailing and boating destinations in the world. Calm waters and gentle trade winds, making them an ideal destination for cruising.
