Skippered charters in Greece
 Sailing
Yacht Valentine - Atlantic 44
Private charter: Sail various locations in Greece with George
(RYA Yachtmaster with over 20 years sailing experience) and co-skipper:
Melody (RYA Coastal Skipper, tour guide, hostess). Breakfast and lunch
can be provided as extra, and individual cabins can be chartered.
Aegean Sailing School. As well as custom luxury cruises around
the Greek islands, George and Melody have officially been recognised
by the Royal Yachting Association and can now offer RYA sailing
courses from the island of Aegina or Poros (near Athens). Courses
include: Start Yachting (2 day introductory course), Competent Crew
(5 days practical), Day Skipper (5 day practical or 3 weekends). Please
enquire for details.
Itineraries
When not running sailing courses, George and Melody also offer
a spectacular Ancient Greece package in the Argo
- Saronic Gulf, starting in Aegina with the Temple of
Aphaia, going to Epidavros theatre. Other islands to visit
would be Poros, Hydra and Spetses, and possibly
Monemvassia and Navplion as well. Transfers from Athens
airport can easily be arranged. Fast ferries and hydrofoils from Piraeus
are only 1 hour away from Aegina and you avoid the hustle and bustle
of embarking in Athens.
 MASTER
CABIN
The master cabin is very roomy, and we would recommend it for parents
of families who have not been on a sailing holiday before and who
would prefer more space, especially in the hotter months. It is only
available on the whole boat hire price. If the party is two couples,
it is better if they both have an aft cabin.
HONEYMOONS AND COUPLES - Valentine is an ideal charter boat
for a couple. When the charter is for just two people, they may use
the master cabin at no additional cost to the whole boat price.

"The experience was excellent - our expectations
were exceeded. The boat was in great shape and our hosts were extremely
gracious!"
Kay B & George S, Florida, USA, 10 - 17 September 2003, Aegina
- Nafplion, Saronic Gulf.
"At first I found it a struggle to get
used to the conditions, but after your warm and comforting welcome
it did not take long to start relaxing and enjoying myself!! The rough
seas and high winds were an adventure which I will never forget. The
best part had to be the phosphorous water when we were all shimmering
in the water. Thank you for everything and for making me discover
the wonders of the sea! Martina (fender girl)"
Martina S. UK. (The weather was quite strong that week!). Charter
with George and Melody from Aegina, July 2005
"What can I say? We both had a great time,
are both determined to do Day Skipper theory between now and October
2007. If George and Melody are still in business then, we'll be booking
well in advance to ensure that we once again have a great, enjoyable
time with them.
I hope that says it all.
Regards,
Jason L. "
Competent Crew Sailing course from Aegina, October 2005.
"This was a honeymoon and learning trip
so we wanted the course extended over 5 days. George accommodated
perfectly, as did the weather. We were able to cover all beginning
material plus we were able to do very unique things like put the spinnaker
up. The week was very relaxing, with the right amount of work (we
are both sore ) and we ate very well. Our initial form was read thoroughly
and all requests for trip and food taken into account. Rian was very
pleasant to be with and fun to talk to. We honestly would not do anything
different.
Thank you for all of your help and advice for the rest of our trip
as well!"

"It was a real pleasure sailing with George.
He made the trip (our honeymoon) not only informative from an instructional
perspective but also very fun. Sailing with such an experienced and
respected Captain was a pleasure. We would certainly consider George
and his sailing school for additional study."
