Our adventure begins in Poros (easily accessible from Athens Airport), where we set sail after boarding and a thorough safety briefing. The first few miles take us through the Saronic Gulf to the Corinth Canal, then we set course through the Gulf of Patras to the Ionian Islands. From there, we head to Italy. After passing through the Strait of Messina, we sail along the northern coast of Sicily toward Palermo.
We spend some of the nights at sea, experiencing starry skies and the special feeling of vastness and freedom. The Aeolian Islands are a particular highlight. The active volcano offers a truly unique natural experience from the water. Finally, we reach Palermo – a city full of life, history, and Mediterranean hospitality.
Our yachti travels the world – and you can join us! With us, you're not an anonymous guest on a standard itinerary, but part of a real crew discovering new horizons together. We're not a classic charter company that runs the same trip every week. Instead, we sail together, experience real boating life, and embrace the adventures the sea has in store for us.
Climb aboard a superbly equipped, lovingly maintained boat and enjoy something special: Nothing is off-the-shelf with us. Every trip is unique – sometimes spontaneous, sometimes planned, always full of surprises. Unplanned experiences are just as much a part of it as relaxing days on deck.
Want more than just a sail? We'd be happy to show you the onboard technology, explain maintenance procedures, and even give you a hand if you'd like. This way, you'll gain real experience and a deep insight into life at sea.
Our cruises combine vacation, adventure, mindfulness, and authentic boating. Become part of our crew and experience a special time on the Galini – authentic, communal, and full of adventure.
Wind & Climate
In October, pleasant temperatures await us (air: average 22–26°C, water: average 22°C). Winds are generally moderate from the northwest to west at 3–5 Beaufort, ideal for leisurely sailing and even longer trips. Calms are rare, but occasional showers or thunderstorms are possible.
yacht
Our Hanse 575 is a modern, fast, and comfortable cruising yacht with four double cabins, a skipper's cabin, a spacious saloon, a fully equipped galley, solar panels, a watermaker, radar, AIS, a generator, a washing machine, and much more. Each cabin has its own bathroom with an electric toilet. Starlink Wi-Fi (optional), multimedia, a bread maker, and a coffee machine make life on board particularly pleasant. Safety and comfort are our top priority.
Of course, unforeseen things always happen on a boat. Minor repairs are part of everyday sailing. That's part of the sailing life, too. She's very well equipped with tools and spare parts. We'd also be happy to show you how to do it yourself, if you'd like.
We want to make sailing more sustainable and environmentally friendly. On our GALINI, we test innovative products to combine a great sailing experience with the smallest possible ecological footprint. Our small team of experienced skippers looks forward to sharing a true sailing adventure with you. Our base is on Poros, Greece – from there we explore the world's most beautiful sailing areas.
