Cabin Charter Flotilla Solo & Couples Welcome
Shared Sailing Holidays in Greece.
Book a cabin, join the crew, sail the Greek islands. Our shared holidays are made for solo travellers and couples who want the week without renting the whole yacht.
What Is a Shared Sailing Holiday?
One Yacht, a Small Group, a Week in the Greek Islands.
A shared sailing holiday - sometimes called a cabin charter or a flotilla when several yachts sail together - is the easiest way to enjoy a week on the water without chartering a whole yacht for yourself.
You book a cabin instead of a boat. The yacht sails on a fixed route between Greek islands. A professional skipper and hostess take care of the navigation, the cooking and the logistics. The other guests on board are travellers like you - usually four to six adults, often from three or four different countries, almost always good company.
It's the ideal format for solo travellers, couples who don't need a whole boat, and people who want to learn a little sailing along the way. By the end of the first day everyone knows everyone, by the end of the week most people have already started planning where to sail next.

Shared Sailing Holidays FAQs
Do I need sailing experience to join a shared holiday?
No sailing experience is required. A professional skipper is always on board and handles all navigation. You can be as involved or as hands-off as you like. Many guests on shared holidays have never sailed before and find it the perfect introduction to life on the water.
Can I join a shared holiday on my own?
Yes. Shared holidays are specifically designed for solo travellers, couples and small groups. You book a double cabin and are matched with other compatible guests for the week. If you don't know anyone to sail with, join our Facebook group where previous and upcoming guests connect ahead of each departure.
What is included in the price?
The shared holiday price from €150 per person per day is all-inclusive and covers your cabin, all meals on board, skipper, fuel, marina fees and island excursions. No hidden extras. Payment can be made in three instalments.
