A traditional wooden sailboat, a homemade brunch, and a whole day with the engine off.
This is the slow one, and the special one. A traditional wooden sailboat, freshly done up, and a full day drifting around the Pakleni Islands with the sails up and the engine off. No schedule, no rush, just the sound of the water on the hull.
Your skipper reads the wind and the crowds and takes you to the quiet spots, not the busy ones. You decide how long to stay wherever you like it, and roughly four stops fill the day, each one a swim, a snorkel, or just an hour on deck in the sun.
Somewhere in the middle of the day, between one swim and the next, brunch comes out. Homemade focaccia, seasonal fruit, water and a glass of local wine, eaten on deck while the boat rocks gently at anchor.
It is the kind of day people remember from a whole trip. Not a fast boat, not a party boat, just a beautiful old sailboat, good food and the emerald water of the Pakleni chain all to yourselves.

Around eight hours, with roughly four stops for swimming, snorkelling and lunch. You and the skipper shape the pace on the day.
Yes, the boat is yours and your group only. No strangers, no fixed timetable, no being herded on and off with forty other people.
Homemade, and it changes with the season. Expect fresh focaccia, seasonal fruit, water and a glass of local wine. Tell us in advance about allergies or anything you do not eat.
Sailing depends on the wind and the sea. If it is not a good day we will move you to another date or sort a refund. Nobody sails in a sea we would not.
