Concept
A one-week sailing journey in Greece designed for active adults in their 50s and beyond, with young souls who still want adventures.
Your own Silver crew, inside our biggest sailing week of the year. By day it's your yacht and people in the same life chapter: sail between the Saronic islands, swim in quiet bays, walk through harbour towns at your own pace. In the evenings the whole fleet meets in the same bay or harbour. Join the big dinner, or stay on deck with your group. You choose each evening.
No party flotilla pressure. No generational mismatch. No feeling like “the oldest one onboard” or “too active among people my age”. Just a small group of people in the same life chapter, still strong, still exploring, still saying yes to new experiences.

20% of people interested in our sailing trips are 50+ years young. So why not gather them on one yacht?
In a sailing lifestyle, you are surrounded by cool people
This is a community of like-minded people in the same life chapter. We kept hearing the same thing:
“I would love to join… but I don’t want to feel like the oldest.”
"We were looking for something with people our age who still want real adventure.”
So instead of pretending age doesn’t matter, we created a space where it doesn’t have to be explained.

How this trip works
You will live and travel on the yacht between the Saronic islands near Athens to see pine-covered islands, a volcano with warm springs and quiet bays with clear blue water
Meet new friends active, curious peers in the same life chapter who still want real adventures and meaningful conversations.
No sailing experience needed. You can learn the basics from the captain, help with the ropes, or simply relax on deck with a glass of wine.
Enjoy mid-May weather: warm days, a calm sea and no summer crowds. Swim, walk and explore bays and harbour towns at your own pace. In the evenings the fleet meets nearby: join in, or stay with your group.

Sailing route
Agistri
The smallest inhabited Saronic island, pine-covered from hill to shore, with beaches and clear blue water. We tie up in the harbour, go to a small local restaurant at night, and in the morning walk between the pines up the hill for the view.
Methana
A dormant volcano with around 30 volcanic domes, on land and under the sea — and a magma dome still sitting 4–7 km underground, which is what heats the water. Warm therapeutic springs of two kinds, sulfur and sodium-chloride (salt), flow from about 25 spots in the rocks at roughly 28–41 °C. Where the sulfur water meets the sea at the entrance to the spa town, the sea turns a milky colour. In the 1960s Methana was one of Greece's best-known spa towns. A swim in warm volcanic water, then breakfast on board or in a café with local food.
You don`t need any previous experience to join this trip. The route is flexible and can be changed due to weather
Start and finish: Alimos Marina, Athens (ATH airport, ~35 km)
Dates: 15 – 22 May 2027
Poros
The pearl of the Saronic, known among skippers as the capital of sailing in Europe. The town sits on a channel only about 200 m wide, facing Galatas on the mainland — boats pass right along the waterfront. Made for arriving by yacht: easy mooring, restaurants along the quay, everything within walking distance. Ten minutes uphill to the 1927 clock tower, with white houses and terracotta roofs at your feet.
Dokos
Nobody lives here. We anchor in Skindos Bay, the main anchorage — a quiet day and a starry night at anchor, a full detox from the outside world. Off its coast lies the Dokos wreck, around 2200 BC — one of the oldest shipwrecks ever found.
Ermioni
An old town on a hill between two bays: open sea on one side, a sheltered harbour on the other. The highlight is Bisti, a pine-forested peninsula with a walk around it — water on one side, pines overhead, the smell of resin the whole way.
Moni
The perfect finish: an uninhabited islet off Aegina where deer and peacocks are the free citizens, together with kri-kri goats. Walk among them, see the deer up close, take selfies, or watch them from behind a tree like a curious child.

Your captain
Hello!
I am Sergy – Skipper, with 8 years of experience. I got a license in Ireland after passing the Royal Yacht Association (RYA) program and I'm ISSA licensed too. Navigated 25 000+ nautical miles on yachts in the seas and Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans.
I live my life like you and organize soulful trips on seas and oceans in Europe, Asia, and America.
My goal is to open a world of a completely different and unique type of adventure as sailing is to as many people as possible. It happened to me 8 years ago, and now I want to show you how majestic the world can be from a yacht view.
If you want to become my colleague and become a skipper, I have an official permit to educate you and issue a license.

Frequently asked questions
Who is Silver Sailing for?
Active adults 50+ with young souls who still want adventures. You sail with a small group of people in the same life chapter. No party pressure, no feeling like the oldest one on board.
How does the flotilla part work?
Your Silver yacht sails inside our Signature Flotilla, our biggest week of the year. By day it's your own yacht and your own pace. In the evenings the whole fleet meets in the same bay or harbour: join the big dinner, or stay on deck with your group. You choose each evening.
How do I get there?
Fly to Athens International Airport (ATH). The start and finish is Alimos Marina, about 40 minutes from the airport. We help coordinate transfers and connect you with guests arriving the same day.
Yacht or catamaran?
Same route, same fleet, same experience. The catamaran is roomier with more common space; the yacht is the classic and more affordable option.
What's the weather like in May?
Days around 22–24 °C, sea around 19 °C, and the calmest month of the year in the Saronic Gulf. Fresh for swimming, perfect for sailing and walking, and no summer crowds.
Do I need sailing experience?
No. About 80% of our first-time guests have never sailed before. The licensed captain makes every navigation call, and sailing lessons are optional all week.
