A tale of two spectacular gulfs

We operate one-way routes during the summer, starting alternately in Kiato and Korfos. One week starts in Kiato and explores the Gulf of Corinth, an area off the radar for most sailors. Set foot in the quaint harbours of Galaxidi and Trizonia, where ancient charm meets modern allure, and immerse yourself in the rich culture and captivating landscapes of this region. The week then culminates with a transit of the Corinth Canal.

The second week starts in Korfos in the Saronic Gulf and explores the best of the Saronic Gulf before a voyage through the iconic canal. See the engineering marvel that has connected the Aegean and Ionian Seas, as you make your way to the sun-drenched shores of Aegina, Poros and Epidavros in the idyllic Saronic Gulf.

Each day also brings a new opportunity for exploration, whether it’s wandering through cobblestone streets lined with bougainvillea or soaking up the breathtaking views from ancient ruins overlooking the sea. Join us on this unforgettable odyssey, where every moment is filled with adventure, beauty and the promise of discovery.

How the Saronic Gulf flotilla week works

  • One-way routes, starting alternately in Kiato and Korfos
  • Weeks start on a Saturday, with direct Saturday flights to Athens
  • Embark by 17:00 and disembark at around 09:00
  • Seafarer transfers from Athens airport take around 75 minutes
  • A transit of the Corinth Canal every week, and you can combine both routes into a two-week holiday

Flotilla itineraries

Two one-way Saronic Gulf flotilla routes

The Corinth flotilla runs two routes: odd weeks sail the Corinth route, while even weeks sail the Saronic route. Full details of both are below, and you can also combine them into an epic two-week holiday.

The Corinth Canal closes on the 2nd of November 2026. While we expect the canal to reopen in March 2027, should works continue beyond the start of our season in April, we reserve the right to change our early season to provide two distinct routes within the Saronic and Argolic Gulfs. We will inform anyone affected about any change to our published itineraries as soon as the canal authorities publish official confirmation.

Skippered flotilla sailing

These yachts are usually skippered by guests who hold the right qualifications, but we can also provide a skipper if you have no previous sailing experience. You still get all the benefits of sailing as part of a flotilla: meeting others in the evenings or during the day, organised activities for children, and all the usual pleasures of yachting, from exploring and swimming in secluded bays to the simple joy of travelling under sail.
