The “Thessaloniki ➜ Porto Koufo” Sail Week is a 7-day training experience designed for individuals who want to develop real sailing skills under authentic coastal and open-sea conditions.
The route includes port-to-port sailing, continuous hands-on practice, and full application of the Inshore Skipper training program, combining theory, practical exercises, and real navigation scenarios.
Throughout the week, participants build confidence in boat handling, crew communication, safety procedures, coastal navigation, and skipper-level decision making.
The program concludes in Porto Koufo, where the vessel remains for the next group that will sail the return route (Porto Koufo ➜ Thessaloniki).
The instructor reserves the right to modify the daily schedule, route, stops, or overnight destinations at any time for safety reasons, including:
— weather conditions
— strong winds
— sea state
— operational considerations
Any modification is made with the sole priority of ensuring passenger safety and maintaining the correct training process.
To help you prepare for the week, we have created a complete guide with recommended clothing, gear, and equipment for a sailing trip.
