Explore the Greek islands at your own pace, choose your activities in the most personalized skippered yacht charter in Greece.

Unlike any resort or beachside hotel, a skippered sailing holiday around the Greek islands (the Cyclades or Saronic) offers you the absolute freedom, flexibility, comfort and diversity. YOU set the pace and the schedule can change if you find something interesting along the way or if you like a particular island.

With accommodation, internet connection, snorkeling equipment, skipper and co-skipper included, few other vacations could offer such an unforgettable adventure and a great value for money.

There are hundreds of charter companies in Greece and thousands of able skippers available for hire, however, you need something more to get your fun, relaxing, 'once in a lifetime' sailing holiday experience you are dreaming about!

The difference between a regular skippered yacht charter and Blue Water Sailing holidays is theunique attention to your desires and a one-on-one relation: we will be there for you with information and suggestions from the moment you start planning your sailing trip until the moment you disembark.

We will not just sail you from A to B based on a schedule: we will adapt the sailing cruise to your interest, advice you on the best spots and bestGreek islands so you can discover the local culture and traditions in Greece.

Every afternoon we are going to sit down for a few moments and discuss the program for the next day based on your preferences (and the weather conditions) to plan the sailing vacation of your dreams.

Plan or let us plan for you a sailing holiday filled with adventures, fun activities and relaxation on your own private yacht, no strangers aboard, hopping from island to island.
