Progress in sailing in a simple, friendly and authentic setting. Whether you want to log nautical miles or take a course in real-world conditions, I will guide you at your own pace, in an ideal learning environment: the Ionian Islands and Western Greece.
Pourquoi naviguer avec nous
We sail in small groups, in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere. There's no pressure, no performance requirements: everyone participates at their own pace, according to their desires and skill level. The goal is to have a genuine, accessible, and enjoyable experience.
You learn gradually, day by day, in real but adapted conditions. Maneuvers, weather, route decisions, life on board: everything becomes an opportunity to learn, without ever forcing or rushing.
Sailing is also about anticipating, managing a crew, and making the right decisions. We emphasize safety, preparation, and understanding situations, so that everyone progresses with confidence and responsibility.
Validation of nautical miles
You can log nautical miles throughout the cruise, in real and varied conditions. Logging occurs naturally, by participating in navigation, maneuvers, watches, and route decisions according to your skill level and preferences.
Validated miles correspond to the actual distances covered, in coastal or semi-offshore navigation, with varied situations: light to moderate wind, anchorages, port maneuvers, changing weather.
Internships and progression
The courses are open to all levels: beginners, occasional sailors, or experienced sailors wishing to gain more independence. The goal is to progress smoothly, without pressure, in a safe and conducive learning environment.
You participate in onboard life, maneuvers, route planning, weather reading, and decision-making. Each day is an opportunity to learn, experiment, and consolidate your skills.

Safety is at the heart of every sailing trip. Conditions are adapted to the crew's level, while allowing real progress: light to moderate wind, repeated maneuvers, varied situations, boat management at anchor and in port.
The goal: to help you progress with confidence, in a supportive and professional environment.
Sailing is a wonderful, accessible, and progressive activity. But it also requires responsibility, foresight, and good crew management. Here are two real-life situations: one where everything goes perfectly, and the other where conditions become complicated.
These videos illustrate why progression, preparation and safety are essential, and why validating nautical miles must be done in a professional setting.
Smooth sailing, relaxed crew, clean maneuvers. Sailing at its most enjoyable: coordination, pleasure and simplicity.
Rising winds, maneuvering errors, tension on board. A situation that highlights the importance of preparation, crew management, and decision-making.
