Statistically, during summer in the Cyclades islands, there are up to 2 or 3 windless days per month. When this happens, diesel engines take over, itineraries are less constrained, there’s more relaxing, swimming and snorkeling.

Yes, we do carry flippers of various sizes.

Specifically designed for sailing charter in the Greek islands under Meltemi conditions, our Pahi catamaran sails to her destination every day, providing safety and comfort to everyone onboard. However, rough weather sailing is not every one’s cup of tea. This is why our skippers daily monitor long term forecasts, anticipating a blow and tailoring your itinerary according to your preferences. You may rest assured that whatever happens, you will not be stuck in port if you do not wish to!

Shopping is typically carried out (with or without your captain) in Paros on day 1, as it is cheaper and offering a greater variety than in the other islands. Grocery, bakery, veggie store and bottle shop are all conveniently located close to the pier, the various store owners usually providing staff to deliver your shopping cart to the boat.

As we generally sail or swim around noon time, lunches are light affairs (self-catering sandwiches, fruits and salads) while sampling delicious traditional food in local tavernas is affordable, relaxing and convenient as one doesn’t have to lug masses of supplies on board nor do the dishes afterwards.

Regarding Scuba diving: because of the large number of antiquities on the sea floor and the amount of damage and theft occurred in the past, scuba diving is very strictly regulated in the Eastern Mediterranean (Greece & Turkey). One may only dive in areas cleared by the archeological authorities and is required to register with Coast Guard for each dive. Should a reasonnable amount of poeple on board be interested in diving we can prearrange dive sessions with dive clubs in the following islands: Paros, Syros, Mykonos, Milos, Santorini.

We believe a hostess on board may not be absolutely necessary since:
- Breakfasts on board do not require a great deal of effort
- Lunches are light affairs (self-catering sandwiches, fruits and salads)
- Dinners are usually taken ashore in a traditional taverna by the sea or in a village
- Lunches may be an issue needing preparations but our inventive customers have found the following solution: the evening before, they order takeaway cooked food from the taverna, keep it in the boat’s refrigerator and serve it for lunch on the next day accompanied by salad, cheese and fruit from the yacht’s pantry. And if you think that dishwashing doesn’t go well with holidays, disposable cardboard plates are available everywhere!
So unless you really want to, there will not be much cooking on board.

Yes, our yacht is equipped with an inverter, meaning that we have 2 AC plugs for recharging mobile phones, cameras or Ipods and operating small household appliances like a fruitblender, they are standard continental european plugs (France, Germany, Italy etc). The yacht also has DC cigarette lighter plugs like in a car.

The catamaran spends most nights at anchor and we usually go ashore for exploring and dining out. Tavernas are simple affairs providing excellent price to quality ratio, meaning unless you eat only pasta and salad, there's no way you can cook cheaper than a taverna, where you may sample a great variety of dishes and you do not have to wash dishes afterwards!

Yes, both an Italian traditional espresso coffee machine and for filter coffee a thermos jug fitted with a cone are available on the Lagoon 420.
