Life on board is adventurous even for "middle-aged boys" when it comes to tackling the strong winds between La Gomera and Tenerife. Winter sailing in the Canary Islands has always been "must" for the crew of S/Y Famagusta. And the Passage at the end of March from Gran Canaria to the Baltic Sea was simply "The passage to the hell"... The adjacent Video refers only to the good times...
INTEREUROPEAN YACHT DELIVERY
DELIVERY OF
SAILING YACHTS
A safe boat delivery and especially during long passages requires many years of experience from the Skipper and a thorough inspection of the boat, rigging, electronic instruments, safety devices, power supply system, back up systems and many other "details"...
TRAVEL GUIDES FOR SAILORS
My story on the water begins at the age of 8. I had a summer vacation on the island of Ikaria and always wanted to drive the boat that carried vacationers from Agios Kyrykos to Therma. Captain Georgakis had seen me many times waiting for his boat at the dock and once he said to me: "Boy, do you want to set sail?"

Dear sailors, friends, and fellow offshore travelers,
From November 2023 I present a new page with my scheduled sailing trips. On this page, you can find information about the type of trip, the port of departure and arrival, its duration, the type of vessel, and the crew that will perform it.
It is basically about the delivery of catamaran sailing boats from the Atlantic ports of France (Bordeaux, Les Sables D Olonne) to Greece (Athens). The months of operation are between December and March and the duration of the passage is about 3 to 4 weeks.
Participating sailors should have some relevant experience without a sailing diploma being necessary. Sailors participating in the voyages and those who express a desire to participate will automatically register as members of the OLYMPUS ZEUS SAILING SOCIETY which will act as a pool of candidate sailors for future voyages.
