Blue Water Sailing

Founded 14 years ago by Adriana and Radu, our family run company was born out of a love for the sea, Greek culture, and a commitment to providing travellers with personalized, authentic journeys. With pristine turquoise waters, sun-soaked beaches, and picturesque villages, this part of Greece is a sailor’s paradise—and Blue Water Sailing is here to help you experience it like never before.

What Sets Us Apart?

1. We’ll make your sailing holiday into a personalized adventure tailor made for your family and friends

From the beginning, you speak directly with us – we are the owners . We can answer all your questions regarding your sailing adventure so that you know exactly what to expect from your experience on board.

Knowing all this we can make your dreams come true. Your tailor made yacht charter will be exactly what you’d hope it would be: bespoke, unique and personal to you.

2. A one of a kind female Captain on Albatross sailboat

It’s rare to find a female captain in the world of sailing charters, and even rarer to find one as skilled and accomplished as Captain Rita. With years of experience navigating the Cyclades and a reputation for professionalism, inclusivity, and warmth, Rita stands out as a true leader on the water.

Families, female travelers, and same-sex couples especially appreciate her unique ability to create a safe, welcoming, and judgment-free environment. Whether you’re traveling with children, looking for a relaxed atmosphere, or simply wanting a captain who understands and respects your needs, Rita ensures that every moment of your journey is seamless, enjoyable, and unforgettable.

3. Extra Time to Sail, Explore, and Relax

Unlike traditional charter companies, we offer a unique schedule that begins on Monday instead of Saturday. This brings several distinct benefits:

Cheaper Flights: Travelling off-peak makes for more affordable airfare.

Avoid the Crowds: Enjoy less busy marinas and tourist spots by sailing off the standard schedule.

More Sailing Time: Where most charters wait until Sunday morning to set sail and return by Friday afternoon, we embark Monday morning and return Sunday afternoon. This ensures more time on the water, more island exploration, and more moments to create lasting memories.

4. Immaculate Boats, Maintained with Care

Our very small fleet is not only a reflection of our professionalism but also of our passion for sailing. We own and meticulously maintain both of our yachts, ensuring that every vessel is in pristine condition. Unlike many charter companies that lease boats and overlook upkeep, we treat our yachts with love and attention, so you can sail worry-free in comfort and style.

Our Story

Today, together with Rita, Adriana and Radu carry forward Blue Water Sailing’s mission by delivering tailored adventures filled with discovery, relaxation, and connection.
