We’re setting off on a new adventure with the Aegean Sailing School! This winter, we’ll embark on a unique offshore passage, sailing from the Greek island of Aegina all the way to Málaga, Spain. Olé!
We’ll depart at the end of November and aim to arrive in Málaga by mid-December. It is also possible to join the return voyage, which begins just after the start of the new year.
In total, you’ll spend approximately four weeks on board (per one-way trip). We’ll dedicate three to four days to preparing the yacht and the crew for the journey, followed by around 21 days of sailing. At the end of the passage, we’ll spend a couple of days wrapping things up, preparing the boat for her next adventure, and of course enjoying some delicious tapas and paella!
As with any offshore voyage, the exact route and schedule will depend on weather conditions and other factors. Along the way, however, we’ll sail past and potentially stop at some truly remarkable destinations, including Monemvasia, Palermo, Palma de Mallorca, Alicante, and more. Who knows where we’ll step ashore!
