A week is shaped by who comes with you. Families want a kids club and supervised watersports. Couples and small groups want active days and long lunches. Solo travellers want a sociable house with no single supplement. Beginners want patient instructors and easy progressions. Experts want bigger boats, harder skis, longer days. Five short reads, one for each kind of week, with the holidays that fit at the bottom of every page.

One of the best beach holidays I have had for many years. My son and I have a regular annual sailing holiday and this was superb. The place is extremely well managed by Hugo and Local Greek family and it really does feel like you are staying with friends, highly recommended
Just returned from another learn to sail, excellent tuition from Shirley ,used this company for many years now and always a good experience. Hope to return next year for yacht delivery and a flotilla.
Wonderful holiday in a beautiful location.Friendly, competent staff, many activities on offer, very good safety support for all water sports. Would love to see Optimists introduced for younger children learning to sail!
Every person in our South Devon office has stayed at the holiday you're looking at. Ask anything: which week is best, what to pack, which flight saves you a connection.
No call centres, no scripts, no upsell. Just honest advice from people who genuinely run these holidays.
