Immerse yourself in the timeless beauty of the Aegean Sea with our exclusive Dodecanese explore, an archipelago of enchanting islands overlooking crystal-clear waters and offering breathtaking views. Discover picturesque villages, with traditional houses overhanging the sea, that seem to emerge straight from the pages of a fairytale. At nightfall, the magic of the moonlit coves creates dreamlike landscapes, with villages reflected in the calm waters.
The Dodecanese is also a paradise for sailing enthusiasts, with magnificent inlets and ideal winds that offer the perfect place to test your skills and consolidate the basics of sailing. Sail between pristine islands and secret coves, experiencing the pure freedom of the sea with the company of new friends. Join us for an adventure that combines culture, scenic beauty, gastronomy and sailing, and discover one of the most fascinating places in the Mediterranean, where every day is a new discovery and every moment a gift from the sea.
But it doesn't end there!
During the trip, you can also discover the art of sailing in a light and fun way. No previous experience is necessary: this is not just a holiday, it is a trip that allows you to learn something new without sacrificing pleasure. Each day will be a balance between adventure and relaxation, with moments of sailing, exploration and immersion in the local culture.
On board, you will have the opportunity to take part in the running of the boat on a rotating basis, but always in an informal and pleasant setting. You will try your hand at holding the helm, adjusting the sails and perhaps discover how to manage life on board. After each day at sea, there will be room for a relaxed debriefing and, why not, a stroll through the nearby villages or dinner in a typical restaurant.
Learn the basics of navigation naturally, without stress, and find out how:
And all this with an eye to safety and discovery: from man overboard recovery (which we hope you'll never need!) to managing the stress of a crew. You will be part of a complete experience that will make you feel like a real sailor... or simply someone who has decided to live the sea to the full!
It doesn't matter if you choose to learn every technical detail or if you prefer to enjoy the sunsets: Dodecanese Explore is waiting to give you unique moments, where the sea is not just a backdrop, but the real protagonist.

In addition, in the case of a regular trip you will receive a voucher to the value of the policy to use on your next membership.
E.g. Mario buys an experience for € 1000, adding the 'Safe Return' insurance Mario will spend € 1070 at checkout.
Mario, due to family problems, will have to give up his departure a week earlier.
Sea You will credit Mario €1,000 while the €70 can be used for his next booking.
Before setting sail for Kalimnos, we will prepare the galley and do an introduction to the basics of navigation, safety and sail trim, then we will skirt Pserimos and prepare to anchor in Vathys where we will spend the night.
In the village of Calino you can enjoy countless stalls and typical restaurants.
We will sail to Gyali where we will take turns learning how to manoeuvre and adjust the sails, and when we arrive at Gyali we will have a nice swim, relax and enjoy the beauty of the island.
We will sail to Rhodes in turn the participants together with the skipper will manage the navigation and its crew, during the voyage topics on the prevention of collisions, signalling and how to prevent collisions will be covered.
Once we arrive, we will do some refuelling and spend the evening visiting the old town and its quaint places.
We will spend the first part of the day sightseeing, with a special focus on the 'Colossus of Rhodes'.
We spend the whole day exploring the labyrinth of narrow streets, stone houses and palaces, the area is full of souvenir shops and restaurants that will satisfy any palate.
After a thorough tour of the city and all its attractions, we will try a few moorings and do some anchoring.
Towards the island of Symi we will do an intro to weather analysis, tides and currents, so the participants will already have an idea of what it means to set a course.
We visit the monastery of St Michael the Archangel, take a walk along the path that runs along the northern shore of the bay to the entrance to the harbour.
We will continue our weather analysis modules and then navigate true Pserimos.

I sailed in the Norwegian Fjords with Riccardo, a beautiful experience, I never expected such beauty, even the little villages we visited, really enchanting. The sailing was also enjoyable, I didn't think that sailing and carrying a boat was so pleasant.
Aeolian Islands fantastic, very nice skipper, experience to be repeated!!! Put other destinations!!!
My friends and I had the Adventure experience in Croatia, we learned so many things and techniques that no one had ever taught us. Beautiful places, we ate and sailed like crazy!
Spectacular Thailand my friends and I had a great time, taking a boat with us and visiting the peninsula was fantastic!
A Greece seen like this, incomparable!
With Riccardo and Sergio I tackled the Atlantic....unbelievable experience
Safe navigation, skipper always very attentive, I am happy with the experience, I highly recommend visiting the Caribbean seas with Riccardo
Beautiful Greece, super close-knit group
I learnt how to take my first steps on a monohull sailboat in the Caribbean, so happy to have had this experience!
Riccardo made us fall in love with sailing, beautiful Lofoten!
Every day a unique thrill, being able to wake up and have breakfast in the midst of the Fjiordi is priceless, sailing under the Northern Lights and seeing whales is priceless
I never thought I would be able to sail a boat, thank you for the great experience, you are number one
Thanks for the wonderful experience
Treinando no oceano foi uma aventura única, alcançar certas velocidades parecia impossÃvel. Além disso, a gestão da segurança me ajudou muito a aprofundar assuntos que antes eram desconhecidos para mim.
Geweldige ervaring, Riccardo is gek!
Beautiful and interesting journey
Fantastic way to learn sailing, I never expected such a wonderful group. I was very pleased with the itinerary and the magnificent places we visited in the evenings.
I spent a week with Riccardo in Greece. He was impeccable in teaching and safety management. The way he conveyed his passion for sailing gave me confidence in myself. I learned a lot and now I feel more confident
Thanks Riccardo for the incredible holidays
Great week in Carribean Sea!
