Yet you still...
Cannot beat the magical experience of sailing through the Mediterranean onboard a traditional Greek Vessel.
Captain George was raised and educated in Australia and has over 35 years experience in skippering sea craft around the Greek Islands
and is the creator of the sunset cruise in its present form!
His passion for the sea and tradition has lead him to restore one of the most important boats that was used for transportation of people
and goods between the islandsand the mainland for centuries.
It all started back in the early 90’s when he started BBQ cruises on Santorini and various islands in the
Aegean – reminiscent of the Australian weekends of his youth.
The boat is the S/Y Eleftheria, a 55-foot wooden built traditional
Greek Kaiki -Trechandiri or working boat, which nowadays are open museums and carry memories of a world that is fading right in front of us.
Five Hour Cruise .....
The design is based on crafts sailing the Aegean Sea for over 2,500 years. This unique design offers comfort and space and it’s the perfect sailing structure for the Aegean which has not been improved upon since the ancient Greeks mariners first sailed these waters. The S/Y Eleftheria was rebuilt in 2005 with a 15 meter mast, a long keel with permanent flaps that make sailing a joy.
