Cruising Albania to Sardinia

Having only cruised in the eastern Mediterranean (Adriatic to Turkiye), it's time to explore the western Med. This will be my last season on the boat and I'm looking forward to new adventures.

I am an older woman and I cannot manage my boat on my own, except under motor. So many jobs require 2 people (anchoring for example). From experience, my boat runs best with 3 people (we are already two people on board).

Sarande (Albania) is just a short ferry ride from Corfu which is the easiest and cheapest way to get here. Luna is moored directly in the port.

I'm looking for someone who is friendly, capable, passionate about sailing and can contribute to having a great holiday while also helping to manage the boat and keep it clean and running well. This trip will require some overnight sails so you must be competent to take a night watch. If you're mechanically minded, that would be a bonus..

You must be illicit drugs-free (alcohol in moderation ok), considerate of other people and, preferably. smoke-free.

My sailing plan is to leave Sarande this coming week, if possible, to Italy, the Aeolian Islands to Sardinia, . That's the plan and, of course, plans can change with weather etc.

I expect you to pay for your own food (on and off the boat) and personal expenses. I will pay for boat expenses.

If this appeals to you, please contact me, preferably through WhatsApp.

  • Boat descriptionLuna is a 4 cabin boat but I use the bunk room mostly for storage. There are 2 double cabins aft and my cabin in the forepeak. There are 2 heads, one with a separate shower and a very well equipped galley. Each cabin has reading lights, a 12v fan and 12v socket for car chargers. A lifejacket is available with tether. The safety equipment on board is to meet the New Zealand requirements. Most of the safety equipment has been replaced in the past few weeks. Elan yachts are known to be fast cruising boats and I've been really impressed by her performance, particularly as they are a a little heavier/stronger than other production boats due to additional stringers etc. Luna has had considerable upgrades over the last few years including standing rigging, engine, instruments (excl autopilot). There is a full package of Raymarine instruments including radar with a Vesper Marine AIS system. As backup I also have a Garmin GLO2 GPS receiver that links to Navionics on my iPad and a handheld, battery GPS receiver.
