Who we are

We are sailors providing a sailbase and charter services for other sailors. Our friends from the sea say that we are one pretty crazy gang – however, we consider ourselves a small family business which somehow came into existence after we sailed one old little yacht from Holland to Greece and discovered a bunch of enthusiastic sailors gathered around it and capable of almost anything - just like us :-)

Where we are

Korfos is a small village roughly halfway between Corinth and Epidaurus, about an hour’s drive from Athens. Recently, tourism has also taken off, with some people returning year after year to this relatively secluded paradise. The picturesque bay with its long beaches is surrounded by dense pine forests that climb steeply up the slopes of the surrounding mountains. Here and there, jagged rocks peek out; you’ll find plenty of suitable spots for climbing and diving, and we even discovered a long underwater cave there. In the nearby bay of Epidauros lies the famous sunken city, which will no doubt be welcomed by snorkellers and yachtsmen – all the more so as right next door you’ll find the delicious taverna run by Dimitris and his Czech wife Michaela, who, as well as serving divine food, also offer a wide variety of products from their organic farm. The area is home to the largest ancient amphitheatre at Epidaurus, the city of Mycaenae, the Oracle at Delphi, ancient Corinth and the thermal springs at Methana. From a sailing perspective, we are in a good starting point for both the Aegean and Ionian Seas – the Corinth Canal is half a day’s sail away. The bay is double-curved and therefore well sheltered; our buoys, boat service and the village pier are at your disposal. Quite simply, whether you’re a keen yachtsman or you prefer to relax on the beach or enjoy an active holiday or love exploring historical sites, you’ll become part not only of our crew, but also of our group and family for a while, and we hope you’ll be just as thrilled by this paradise as we are 😀
