Sail through the Aegean Sea and visit remote islands where tourists are few and tranquil beaches, spectacular views and fabulous food are abundant. This perfectly balanced journey will allow you to disconnect from the world, be one with the sea and immerse into the beautiful Greek Culture.
This 7 night/ 8 day adventure will take place throughout the Cycladic Isles of Greece. We will sail to these remote islands as a flotilla, a group of small ships sailing together. Each day we will explore a new location as well as do yoga in a variety of breathtaking destinations. We will hike, snorkel, paddle board, dive deep into the culture and take time to simply relax on the beaches and sailboats.
Best part…No sailing knowledge is required. Experienced and specialized staff take care of all the sailing logistics! Simply sit back and join your time on the water!
Rugged, sun-drenched outcrops of rock, anchored in azure seas and liberally peppered with snow-white villages and blue-domed churches with stellar archaeological sites and dozens of postcard-worthy beaches, this is Greece. Throw in a blossoming food scene, some renowned party destinations and a good dose of sophistication, and you really do have the best of Greece’s ample charms. Among the 223 tiny islands, the most popular are Mykonos & Santorini.
This journey will take you far from the heralds of tourism.
Sifnos, Serifos, Kimolos & Kea the gems of the western Cyclades will take your breath away.
Each 50ft sailboat will have a maximum of 8 guests with 5 cabins: 2 double bed cabins with ensuite bathroom, 2 double bed cabins with a shared bathroom and a bunk cabin used for your crew. The sailboats will travel as a flotilla, a group of small ships sailing together. You will sail with your group and then we will unite and gather for yoga, excursions and meals.
Laurel’s trips are a rewarding journey that is fulfilling and unforgettable. Laurel takes travel planning to another level and I’m not just saying this because she’s my friend. Is there ever a time that you just want to go on vacation and not have discussions (or arguments) about where to eat or what to do? Because these are the trips that fix all of those problems. Everything that is planned is thoughtfully done. She even has backup plans for when we experienced harsh windy conditions on the island of Kythnos. This trip to Greece was a long time coming and it did not disappoint. I loved sailing to destinations in Greece that turned our journey into a one-of-a-kind experience. It was refreshing to get away from the touristy vacation and to experience the true “remote” places in Greece. Our sailboat and crew were amazing and being surrounded by new and old friends on these trips make it into an extraordinary adventure. I just wished I would’ve packed less!

Greece was so amazing! The people, the food, the scenery were all wonderful. I honestly think one of my favorite parts was just lounging on the sailboat as we sailed the Aegean. It was just so relaxing and I didn’t have to worry about anything because the Captain and crew had everything under control. I really loved the hiking and the tours of Kythnos (and of course the yoga too). I love any chance to learn about history and to explore a cave/old mine so that was a very pleasant surprise after an unexpected wind delay. I would jump at any chance to go back to Greece and explore more of the islands. Even on a sailboat because I seriously slept great every night and love being surrounded by water.

I have traveled with Laurel on 2 trips before Greece, and she has continued to impress. Laurel’s trips are unique in that she pays immaculate attention to detail while still being flexible. She has planned everything, where to eat, where to hike, while still planning in free time. I appreciate going on her trips since I know everything will be taken care of and I do not have to worry about figuring out activities to do or places to eat. Laurel has done all the research for me! Greece was excellent, but any trip Laurel plans and leads, I would recommend. I can’t wait to see which trip of hers I will be going on next!
-A. VanSant
This trip was absolutely magical from the sea, the boats, the hikes, the people, the laughs, and Laurel’s yoga classes set to breathtaking backdrops. It was such a unique experience and was truly amazing.

Whatever the case we guarantee that alternative plans will meet the requirements and quality of services as promised.
