As much as we love rafting, spending time on the water, sailing in the Greek Islands is hard to beat. This is relaxing small group adventure at its best. Under the guidance of your skipper, you’ll get to explore some stunning and historic parts of the Sarionic Gulf. Blue warm water, al fresco dining either on board the yacht or in the many local restaurants, this is a fabulous adventure. You’ll be one in a maximum of eight fun loving people plus your skipper who get to crew on the boat and turn your hand to sailing too. Pull into stunning anchorages, take a swim off the boat and explore the nearby islands. Explore The Acropolis and the Parthenon amongst other sites in Athens and more besides once we are sailing. If you are a group of 6-8 we can easily arrange alternate dates by arrangement. A perfect holiday for 2 families as well. If you have ever wanted to explore the Greek Islands by sail boat, this could be your next holiday.
Arrive into Athens International Airport and be greeted by your skipper, who will escort you to your hotel.

Traveling with Hamish is always an adventure! An unforgettable way to visit several charming Greek towns, experience exceptional food and service, and appreciate current and ancient cultures.
Greece was fabulous and being able to take the wheel of the yacht was an amazing experience. WBN never disappoints. We had an absolute blast with gorgeous food, sunsets and fun and laughter with great company and new friends
What can I say about a WBN trip? This is our second trip with WBN and it lands squarely in the top 5 trips of a lifetime!! (Top spot goes to WBN Zambezi trip, in case you are wondering, and we have reservations for New Zealand in the spring!) Greece has long been a bucket list item and getting to experience it under sail was an amazing opportunity. Hamish and Melissa showed us an adventure like no other. Not only did we eat and drink well, we learned a few things about sailing!! There might have been a little competition among each us as we took our turn at the helm under sail to see who could reach the fastest speed on the water. I truly appreciated the chance to try my hand at sailing. I can see how this could easily become an addiction!! Hamish also made sure we got in our fair share of culture with the Acropolis, Parthenon and the Ancient Amphitheater of Epidavros which were all incredible sites to visit. Hamish even treated us to a true Kiwi chant to test the acoustics at the amphitheater. If you are looking for adventure, great company, awesome food and lifelong friends, you can’t go wrong with a trip with WBN!!
