Ocean Yachts Ocean Star 51.2

Description

We are a small sailing business run by a couple, and we’re happy you found us. For us, this is not just a boat trip. It’s a journey — personal, calm, and real. Our boat becomes your floating home, and we are not simply crew. We are your travel companions and guides along the way. We value our passengers as guests, and we share the trip the same way we would with our own friends. We sail to smaller, less crowded islands and places that have kept their local character. Along the way, we share our love for sailing and our knowledge of Greek culture, history, and mythology. These waters have been sailed for thousands of years, and following those routes gives every journey a deeper meaning. We visit secluded bays, beautiful towns and ports, suggest hiking paths, swim, fish, enjoy the best local delicacies, and let the days unfold naturally — the local way. We don’t focus on luxurious boat lifestyle. We focus on the experience and the journey itself. The feeling on board is relaxed, wholesome, and authentic — about being present, connected to the sea, and enjoying summer in Greece as it truly is. We both have over 10 years of sailing experience, with official sailing certifications and first aid training. George is the skipper, licensed for open-sea sailing, radio communication, and first aid. He holds two Master’s degrees in geopolitics and has a deep love for history and fishing. Marina is the deckhand, also licensed for open-sea sailing, with studies in English Literature and a Bachelor’s degree in American Studies. We speak English, French, Spanish, and Russian. We mention our studies not to impress, but because they shape how we host. We are more than operators — we enjoy sharing stories, context, and insight, and helping our guests understand the places they visit. Our boat is a 51.2 ft Ocean Star — a Greek-built sailing yacht designed for Mediterranean travel. She is spacious, seaworthy, and equally suited for cruising and real sailing. Built in 2000, she is one of the few pieces produced, and we have been renovating her ourselves over the past four years. She is our Princess, and we take great care of her prioritizing safe travels. On board, there are five cabins, four toilets, and a large, comfortable cockpit where most of life happens during the journey. We offer two main types of journeys: coastal sailing in Crete and its surrounding uninhabited islands (e.d. Dia island), or island hopping in the Cyclades. The starting point can be either Crete or Santorini, depending on the trip you choose. In the Cyclades, we prefer islands that are less popular and more serene, places that have preserved their soul — to name but a few Anafi, Astypalaia, Amorgos, Irakleia, and Koufonisia. Each route is flexible and always discussed with our guests. Weather conditions and wind direction are essential in planning, and they guide our final decisions. Based on the forecast, we usually prepare two or three possible route options, choosing what feels safest and most enjoyable for everyone on board. For practical details: the skipper and hostess are included in the price. Fuel, water, and the basic amenities listed in the relevant sections are also included. Drinks other than water, food and mooring fees (when applicable) are not included in the price. Although the boat has a larger capacity, we welcome a maximum of six guests to keep the experience personal, comfortable, and unhurried. This experience is for travelers looking for something different — not just moving from one beautiful island to another, but truly tasting Greek summer at sea, its culture, rhythm, and way of life.
