Embrace the Freedom of the Sea: Unforgettable Sailing Adventure Around Corfu

Step aboard my unique performance SMG 50 plus catamaran and experience the thrill of the open sea, the warmth of the sun, and the gentle caress of the wind. My vessel is not just a catamaran; it's a haven of peace, a slice of freedom, and your home away from home. It offers comfort without extravagance, and while there's no air conditioning, the sea breeze provides natural ventilation. The catamaran is pretty self-sufficient and features two double cabins and two single cabins, with one shared head. I can comfortably accommodate 3 to 4 guests. So ideal, for one or two couples or friends.

Our journey will take us around the breathtaking landscapes of the Ionian Sea, Greece, including Corfu and the nearby islands. Depending on the weather, we might even venture down to the southern Ionian islands. Imagine sailing under the azure sky, snorkelling in crystal-clear waters, exploring picturesque islands, and watching dolphins play in the wake of our catamaran.

Between anchorages, there will be plenty of time to contemplate life, lose yourself in a good book, or simply relax and enjoy the tranquility of the sea.

I'm looking for guests who appreciate the value of this unique experience. Some sailing experience and at least some camping or live-aboard experience would be beneficial. Guests who are in the prime of life, who maintain a healthy lifestyle and a good level of fitness would be a great match.

Guests are expected to participate actively in our journey, whether it's taking the helm, keeping a lookout, or assisting with anchoring. A good sense of humour, a playful spirit, and an engaging but not overly assertive personality are appreciated. I value a positive attitude, an easygoing nature, and a willingness to embrace the freedom that comes with life at sea.

Guests should be naturally willing to respect the shared spaces by keeping their cabin and shared space neat. I maintain a "clean as you go" attitude, as it's essential for safety on a boat.

The onboard languages are English, French or Swedish, with some German, Italian, and Spanish.

There may be a request for a contribution which would cover shared costs for fuel for the catamaran and tender, food, navigational fees, filters and other consumables. Additional costs like restaurants, sightseeing fees, car or bike rental fees, and travel costs to the boat are not included. I'm looking for individuals who understand the value of this experience and are comfortable investing in their share of the journey.

I, as your skipper, am looking for fun, interesting guests who are happy to share this experience. My hope is that we will not only have an unforgettable adventure but also build friendships that last beyond the trip.

So, are you ready to cast off the constraints of everyday life, embrace the freedom of the sea, and join me for an unforgettable adventure in the Ionian Sea, Greece?

Sailing around Corfu

I really enjoyed sailing around Corfu with Jon. Very interesting catamaran which is maintained in very good condition. Jon is a very experienced skipper with a broad knowledge und knows the Ionian sea in all details. I can highly recommend sailing with Jon.

I’ve had the pleasure to sail on this beautiful catamaran on two occasions….a fantastic and memorable experience. The vessel is safe, well appointed and maintained to a very high standard. She also sails extremely well. The skipper has extensive knowledge of the Ionian area. We visited many beautiful towns and bays, both the main tourist areas and places only the locals go to. Also some great swimming and snorkeling areas with unique sea-life. He is also very generous in sharing his extensive knowledge of sailing and boat maintenance. I am definitely a better sailor for having this experience. I can thoroughly recommend this sailing adventure around Corfu.
