Late September Ionian Cruise & Final Passage for the Season
Dates: Around September 25, 2026 (Approx. 10–14 days)
Arrangement: Friendship / Recreational (Hosted Onboard)
About the Trip: Join me aboard S/V Rosmarine, a comfortable, well-equipped Jeanneau 45 Deck Saloon Sailboat, for our final sailing leg of the season. Late September in Greece offers steady breezes, warm sea temperatures for swimming, and quiet, uncrowded anchorages.
We begin in Katakolo, island-hopping through Zakynthos and over to Sami, before crossing to Ithaca. From Ithaca, we cross over to historic Missolonghi, before heading east into the Gulf of Corinth to wrap up the journey at Aigio.
What the Experience Includes
• Island Hopping & Passages: Coastal sailing, anchoring in quiet coves, and exploring local harbor towns like Poros, Sami, Ithaka, Kioni, etc.
• Onboard Life & Transit: Major boat expenses, fuel, water, and primary onboard provisions are hosted. Crew simply covers personal meals/drinks ashore and personal airfare/long-distance travel. Safety comes first on the water, so alcohol in moderation is reserved for after the anchor is down and the engines are off. There is a zero-tolerance policy for smoking and all recreational drugs / illicit substances on board or during the trip.
• End-of-Trip Responsibilities: Help return the interior and deck to the same clean, tidy state as when we departed. No yard labor, hull scrubbing, or heavy maintenance required.
• Return Transport Support: I will have my car waiting in Aigio and can happily provide a lift back toward Katakolo or assist with transit logistics for your departure.
Who I’m Looking For
• 1–2 easygoing, positive, and hands-on companions (solo sailors, friends, or couples) to occupy the two aft cabins.
• Happy to take a turn at the helm, who brings a great sense of humor, a positive attitude, and a tidy nature. Life on a boat requires a team mindset—someone who naturally pitches in with day-to-day chores, meal prep, and keeping common areas clean and organized with a flexible attitude toward weather and changing routes.
