Boat sharing in Greece
2027 season in the Ionian Islands.
Explore the Ionian Islands on a shared sailboat
live the adventure of your life!
Can you imagine sailing through crystal-clear waters, discovering secret beaches and enjoying dreamy sunsets with new friends? Welcome to our unique shared sailboat experience in the Ionian Islands, designed for adventurers like you.
Embark on an unforgettable experience, perfect for those looking to disconnect, explore and share authentic moments in a relaxed atmosphere. We will sail between idyllic islands such as Lefkada, Ithaca and Meganisi, while you enjoy sunny days, starry nights and the magic of the Mediterranean.
A life at sea that we want to share with you.
Living on a sailboat is not just a choice, it is a way of life. We spend the whole year here, between the rocking of the water and the whisper of the wind. The sailboat is more than a home for us: it is our refuge, our companion, and we look after it as such. Every corner is cared for so that it is in perfect condition, always ready to set sail for new adventures.
In summer, we love sharing this experience with you. We are not a tourism company; we are people who open the doors of our floating home to those who want to live something different. We want you to feel what it is like to wake up with the sea as your horizon, to be lulled to sleep by the waves, or simply to let yourself go with the calm rhythm of life on board.
On the sailboat we are a maximum of 6 people, the two of us included, because we believe in the importance of calm and of creating real connections. We will never be more, and that is what makes it special. Here you have your own space: we have a private cabin with a bathroom just for you, and another private cabin with a bathroom shared with us, so you feel at home.
But beyond comfort, what we want to offer you is something unique: time. Time for yourself, to enjoy, to disconnect. Can you imagine being in a secluded cove, crystal-clear water at your feet, a simple but delicious meal, and the certainty that here, now, everything is fine?
If you decide to come, don't expect magazine luxury, but real moments, honest conversations and days full of peace. Because for us, sharing the sailboat is not a job; it is our way of saying that life, when lived like this, deserves to be shared.
Are you in?
A week at sea
If you decide to join us on the sailboat, the stay is 6 days: the perfect time to disconnect and truly live the sea experience.
Six days will let you enjoy peaceful sunrises, secret coves and the magic of sleeping under the stars, with plenty of time to let yourself be carried by the serenity of the sea, explore more places and truly disconnect from everyday life.
We will be here to make every moment unforgettable.
Our routes from Lefkada to Messolonghi
After so many years living on the sailboat, we have learned that the best plan is not to have too many plans.
We will take you to the places that made us fall in love with this area: the hidden coves of Meganisi, the little harbours of the islands near Lefkada and, if the weather allows, Messolonghi, with the light and calm that make it unique.
This is not a tour. You will share our way of sailing with us: slowly, looking at the horizon and stopping wherever the sea invites us to stay.
A day on the boat
A day on the sailboat starts without rushing. We have a relaxed breakfast on deck while the sun starts to warm up and the sea is calm. The fresh air and the sound of the waves keep us company, creating the perfect atmosphere to start the day. Then we have a good swim in the crystal-clear water, which always fills us with energy.
After enjoying the water, we usually raise the anchor and head for other nearby spots. Depending on what we feel like, we can sail to a quiet cove, explore new islands or simply let the wind carry us. The sea is our space to discover.
As the day goes on, we take a break to prepare a simple but delicious meal with fresh products. We eat outdoors, with sea views, surrounded by calm and the sounds of nature.
In the afternoon we keep enjoying the sea, swimming or simply resting on board, feeling the calm rhythm of the sailboat. If we find a harbour or a small village, we can go ashore for a walk.
In the evening, the sun sets in front of us, creating a show of colours over the water. After a day full of sea, we relax with a quiet dinner and chats on deck, under the stars.
It is a day without schedules, without hurry, just enjoying the present and everything the sea has to offer.

What our sailors say about us.
Laurent’s sailboat, Eau d’As, is undoubtedly the best way to enjoy the beauty of Malta’s coast.
We visited the north of the main island and the wonder of the small island of Comino. A wonderful day on board, which I completed with an exciting Diving Introductory Course, followed by the Open Water Diver course.
A well-rounded week in Malta, arranged thanks to Malta a Vela.
We spent a whole day on the boat and it was a great day. Laurent are lovely sailors who showed us the most beautiful parts of Malta and even offered us a delicious picnic of Maltese specialities! An experience to be repeated absolutely!
We had booked a half day in August for a group of 5 people.
Laurent are very welcoming and their experience and knowledge of Malta made this sea trip a great time.
Excellent value for money, friendliness and great scenery: we highly recommend it!
