You’re never too old to go afloat. Just look at celebrated yachtsman Robin Knox-Johnston who sailed across the Atlantic solo at the age of 75 in 2014
Whether you are on a motor cruiser or a sailing yacht you will always have to consider the wind at sea. Every vessel is affected by it, whether a tiny yacht tender or one of the huge €100 million mega yachts that billionaires buy in cash.
Catamarans and monohull yachts are very different beasts on the water. Let’s look at them and help you choose what to sail with us at Kavas Yachting this summer...
In this article we will discuss some essential and not so essential gear you will need to bring with you when you charter as yacht with Kavas Yachting.
While on a Greek yacht charter with Kavas Yachting you will be out to have a great time and no doubt have a few drinks and a party or two afloat. You’re not monks and shouldn’t be expected to be entirely dry while aboard...
Plastic is everywhere, while sailing at dusk a few miles offshore you can see the filthy air of cities just over the horizon. Living with the environment, it is only sensible to protect it, right?
Looking at aircraft routes around the world, you will often see that they don’t fly in straight lines between departure and destination, but instead curving routes...

With the cost of owning and running a yacht, and the time you will actually use it, is there any point in owning a yacht at all? Where at Kavas Yachting it may seem obvious that we’d encourage you to charter rather than buy a boat outright (we’re in the business of chartering after all!) there are some very sound arguments against yacht ownership and in favour of companies such as us taking the responsibility of boat ownership.
Whether blasting around the world on a record attempt or just enjoying high performance day sailing, for people with the need for speed, trimarans are the best answer if you want strong performance as well as comfort.
Sailing around Greece, you will likely see a host of traditional vessels that have been unchanged in design over hundreds of years. Predominantly you will see trehantiris and kaikis, but if you’re lucky you might even see a Karavoskaro!
If you're planning a first sailing holiday in the Greek islands, it does not get much better than cruising the glorious waters of the Saronic Gulf. There's an added bonus to choosing this particular region for a sailing holiday because it’s so easy to get to if you decide to make Athens the starting point of your seafaring adventure...
After the hustle of the summer season and a forecast of dull weather and rain, you may feel you haven’t got a lot to look forward to, but why wait months for a holiday of sun, sea and relaxation when you can enjoy a fantastic holiday with a difference?
This weekend we visited Kos Island and would like to share with you our experience visiting the seclusive Therma Beach.
