Tahita and her crew will be sailing throughout the East Med between the 1st of April and 30th of November.
You can charter Tahita for as long as you like and discover her mystic routes.
Have a taste of our Aegean and Ionian suggestions:
In the Aegean you have a choice of sailing around the islands of the Cyclades and the islands of the Dodecanese...
Taking as our base the island of Syros, the beautiful capital of the Cyclades, Tahita and her crew look forward to accompanying you on an unforgettable journey...
Isolated beaches, an ancient civilization, uninhabited islands, unrivalled nightlife... there is an island for everyone... Let us tailor the ideal sailing trip for you!
Here is an example of what you can experience in Greece!
DAY 1: Meeting at our base, the main port of Syros, Ermoupoli. Briefing and arrangement of provisions. Then we depart for Rinia, once a thriving ancient port, now a deserted island opposite the island of Mykonos - and according to myth the birth place of Apollo. We stop for a swim in the crystal-clear waters in one of the coves of Rinia. We sail to Myconos marina where we'll spend the night and you can sample the famed nightlife.
- DAY 2: In the morning you can visit the famous ancient port of Delos. Then we sail to Paros island where we stop for an invigorating mud bath and a refreshing swim. We spend the night at the little fishing port of Piso Livadi where you can taste the local fish delicacies of Antonis.
- DAY 3: Our first stop in the small Cyclades is the wild and largely inaccessible island of Iraklia. Here you'll experience the original life of the islanders and be able to follow the trek to the south side of the island and explore the ancient cave.
- DAY 4: Next, we'll sail to the tiny deserted island of Keros, known since about prehistoric times when it was inhabited. Here we will stop for a swim, a chance to snorkel and a barbeque. In the evening we'll sail to the pirate island of Amorgos, the famous setting for legendary film director Luc Besson's ''Big Blue''.
- DAY 5: In the morning we'll sail to the stunning bay of Nikouria where we'll stop for a swim and lunch. Then, back to the port of Amorgos, Aigiali. Here you can try the steep climb up to the monastery of Hozoviotissa. This fantastic ancient building occupies a spectacular site on a cliff, suspended between the sky and the sea below. Then, why not trek along the ancient paths which lead up to the village of Tholaria. When you're there, your reward is to taste Mrs Maria's home cooking while you listen to the local elders playing the violin and the lauto.
- DAY 6: Now it's time to sail to Manganari beach in the remote south side of Ios island. You'll have the opportunity to night dive through the phosphorescent plankton of the bay. Relax and enjoy the local fresh fish.
- DAY 7: And lastly, we'll sail and finish the trip under the cliff of Oia, Santorini - famous for being one of the most amazing spots in the world to watch the sunset! Donkeys will be used to climb up the hill in case you don't feel up to the never-ending steps to the village!

We can create your ideal trip encompassing turquoise waters, islands covered in lush green, ancient castles and a chance to visit the home of classical mythology.
The choice is yours and we're as flexible as the weather! The itinerary that follows is just an example of what you can experience in Greece when you join Tahita and her crew.
- DAY 1: Meeting on our boat, based in Vassiliki, Lefkas. Briefing and arrangement of provisions. Departure for the isolated island of Kastos (population: 80 people).

We spend the night in the beautiful village of Kastos and sample the local fish delicacies.
- DAY 2: Sail to the uninhabited island of Atokos where we will stop for a swim, a chance to snorkel and a barbeque. After that, we continue for the cosmopolitan port of Fiscardo in Cephalonia. There you can taste the incredible local delicacies and walk through the picturesque 19th century houses set amidst fragrant pine groves.

We'll anchor at the spectacular beach of Gremni where you can swim at the foot of the dramatic cliffs and relax on the beautiful, fine white sand. Next stop, the fishing village of Kioni in Ithaka, well-known for its attractive huddle of white washed houses.
- DAY 4: An early start for our sail to Oxia, a tiny island off the delta of the river Acheloos on the mainland. Here you will enjoy the stunning surroundings and utter isolation except for a few fishing boats. We will then sail by night to the main port of Ithaka.
