Sailing And Onboard Living
​​
Experience the living on a sailing boat for a week! Living on a sailing boat is not about luxury, although is an absolute privilege. You will explore new places, have access to many secluded beaches and restaurants that are not reachable by land. When sailing you can relax and enjoy your alone time or get social and chat with the other participants of the group. The daily stops on land offer you the opportunity to visit the island, taste traditional dishes, discover local delicacies, go on a tour of new cities or villages.
On the other hand, you will learn that living on a boat is very different from living inland. The vessel is a small space and every participant is essential part of the crew. Participants' collaboration with the team is vital. Every participant as well as the captain/skipper and the instructor will be in charge of all duties on the boat.
It is very likely to be asked by the captain to help with the sails, the ropes, and in some maneuvers when anchoring or at the port.
Participants are kindly requested to assist with meal preparation, setting up the table for meals and cleaning the dishes.
Be mindful of the group and keep the boat tidy.
Teamwork is fun! Enjoy the bonding and the connection you create with the rest of the group.
