Sailing as Gast

What Does It Mean to Be a "Gast" on Board?

A gast is a paying guest on a sailing yacht who joins the adventure without needing prior sailing experience. You don't have to know how to sail, navigate, or handle a boat—you'll learn along the way! Your skipper is in charge of the vessel, ensuring a smooth and safe journey, while you get to enjoy the experience of sailing, exploring, and being part of life at sea.

What to Expect as a Gast:

✔️ No Experience Needed – You don't need a sailing license or any prior knowledge of sailing. Your skipper will handle all navigation, and you can participate as much or as little as you like.

✔️ Hands-On Experience (If You Want) – If you're curious about sailing, you'll have the opportunity to steer the boat, trim the sails, and learn basic navigation under the guidance of your skipper.

✔️ Freedom & Adventure – Every day brings a new destination, whether it's a charming Greek village, a secluded bay, or a lively island town. We don't follow a strict itinerary, allowing flexibility to explore hidden gems.

✔️ Swimming & Diving – The Ionian Sea offers incredible opportunities for swimming, snorkeling, and even diving in some of the most stunning waters in the world.

✔️ A Shared Experience – Life on board is about community and teamwork. Everyone helps with small tasks like preparing meals, keeping shared spaces tidy, and enjoying meals together—just like on any adventure!

✔️ Comfortable Accommodations – You'll sleep in a cozy cabin on a spacious yacht, with access to showers, a small kitchenette, and both indoor and outdoor dining areas. If you prefer, you can even sleep under the stars on deck!

✔️ A Break from Everyday Life – Being at sea offers a digital detox from daily stress. Enjoy the simple pleasures of nature, the sound of the waves, and the breathtaking beauty of the Greek islands.
