Miles building trip to bring our Racing Boat back from Greece. Thus will suit anyone wishing to get some good quality miles and overnight passages. Discover the areas around Greece and across to Italy. Taking in some beautiful areas including Sicilly the Aeolian islands and Sardinia.

And with miles and time on the water comes experience and confidence. Confidence not only in your own abilities but also confidence in how a boat handles and indeed what she can handle if you end up with testing weather and sea conditions.

We sail from Kefalonia in Greece and aim to make a passage to North Sardinia via the Aeolian Islands. You will get about 600 nautical miles, planning and executing long passages, plenty of night sailing and experience of passing shipping (all dependent on weather). This is a good way to gain mileage for the Swiss Sea Licence. It is also possible to make your astro navigational sights if you are working towards your Yachtmaster Ocean.

The emphasis is on having fun under the guidance of one of our experienced skippers, who will give you the opportunity to do as much or as little as you like.

  • Plan
    The plan is to deliver the boat to Northern Sardinia starting in Kefalonia then to the Aeolian islands, Southern Sardinia finishing in Northern Sardinia Costa Smeralda.

    With a team of 5-6 like minded sailors we will leave Kefalonia working in watches to sail across the Adriatic past southern Italy Calabria then up to the Messina straits leaving Sicily on our port side with views of Etna. Then onwards and upwards to the Aeolian past Stromboli and making passage to Sardinia.

I moved to Italy with my family 7 years ago and we run a RYA Training Centre in Genoa. I have been sailing since the age of 10, initially on dinghies and then moving on to yachts. My husband, Ian is the course instructor and he is a fully qualified RYA yachtmaster instructor, examiner and with many years of experience.

    October of 2022
    Communication with the front office was punctual and clear. Our very trained, professional and empathetic instructor Fabrizio helped us in every phase of the training so that we could get the best possible result. From a technical point of view, which is the focus in such an activity, excellent experience.

  • RYA Competent Crew Course, Genoa Italy
    IMG-20200727-WA0052
    September of 2020
    I applied for the competent crew course as a real beginner.
    It's been an amazing experience; Fabrizio, the instructor, is a very well organized person, able to let you learn whatever is in your capabilities.
    I'm glad I got this experience, I'll be more confident with sailboats from now on, and I know that with this RYA course my approach will be more professional
