Going sailing definitely is very different to when you go on holidays ashore, a mix of adventure, luxury, tranquility and excitement which can appeal to one and all!
Sailing trips are different to any other type of holiday for a number of reasons, one of the most important ones is lack of limitless space on board! The other one is that while sailing, you may end up sweating during the daytime, but feel chilly when night falls. With this in mind we present the ideal packing list for your sailing holiday so you will enjoy every moment on board and get the most out of your yachting adventure with Aegean Sea Cruises!
Essentials: Start planning your packing by selecting the right luggage! When you come on board don’t pack excessively. A duffle bag or even a back pack should be more than enough for a week’s sailing. Any hard-cased suitcase is difficult for your skipper to bring it on board and will fill up space in your cabin that you wish you had available for yourself!
For both men & women the necessary clothing you should consider bringing is:
Ladies particulars: A couple of strap tops, few vest tops, and 5-6 t-shirts will be enough for a week. A pair of denim shorts, a couple of dresses for a night-out and underwear will be the utmost essentials for a lady on a yacht! Sandals since you’re sailing Greece are also a must!
Men particulars: Guys, this is mostly so you don’t forget the important stuff! So, a couple of jeans or linen trousers along with a couple of shirts will be enough for looking like a yachtie when ashore! Apart from swimsuits, flip-flops, jacket and sunnies, a pair of closed shoes will be fine for when you’re about to go for a stroll & don’t forget your undies & a belt!
We embark on the yacht at 09:00 am, at the main port of Zakynthos.
Have an unforgettable tour with one of the sailing boats of our company in the area of the National Marine Park of Zakynthos, where the turtle Caretta caretta lays her eggs and breeds every year, making a trip of miles from the other end of the earth to the coasts of Zakynthos.
Departure will take place early in the morning, at 9 o’clock, from the main port of the island, with the customer’s choice to have a pick-up from their place of residence with a luxury vehicle.
From the port of Zakynthos, the boat will sail to the caves of Keri on the southeastern side, along with the lush, beautiful coasts of Vassilikos.
Sandy creeks with lush vegetation make up a wonderful scenery, looking like a painting.
Sailing past the cape of Gerakas, with the beautiful beach which is the place where caretta-caretta turtle lays her eggs, the boat is heading for Keri.
On the way, passengers will see the small islands of Pelouzo and Marathonisi, in the bay of Laganas, which is also a national marine park.
As soon as the boat reaches the caves of Keri, it will drop anchor and the passengers can enjoy the crystal clear waters under the green rocks. Diving with a mask and snorkel and observing the wonderful bottom will fascinate the swimmers.
After the passengers have enjoyed the sea and the sun, the company will return to the boat that will sail to the creek of the small fishing village of Keri.
There, the passengers can enjoy their meal in a picturesque fish taverna, but also take a stroll or do some shopping on the beach of the village.
Once the visit to the seaside village of Keri is completed, the boat will sail close to Marathonissi. The island has a turtle shape and is a nesting area of the Caretta caretta turtle. If circumstances allow, the passengers will meet some turtles swimming quietly away from the dozens of boats which go after them trying to take photographs.
Then, ally with the wind, the boat will return to Zakynthos port at about 6 pm, after sailing past the coast of Vasilikos again.
If there is time and good weather conditions, the passengers may choose to dive in a secluded beach enjoying the clear sea of the Ionian Sea.
Of course, if the passengers would like to, they can participate in the sailing experience, assisting the crew in lifting sails and taking part in the whole process. It is an experience that will be unforgettable to them.
