If you start your RYA journey but wish to build extra experience in between your courses this is for you. A milebuilding week with us is a dream trip for anyone with ambitions to go blue water sailing. You’ll learn what it’s like to live on a yacht for extended periods and to sail in more out of the way places. Such a trip will give you the chance to not only put hundreds of miles under your belt but also improving your confidence and advancing your practical knowledge.
You have RYA qualifications and wish to build them up.
You potentially have an upcoming trip and want to gain more confidence and experience.
You are enthusiast to learn and participate into sailing the boat.
You want to add hundreds of miles into your RYA logbook.
During your trip, the crew will be divided into watches, who take turns on duty. Advanced sailors will be appointed watch leaders, but everyone in the team will take part in steering, trimming sails, navigation, catering, and using the yacht’s equipment.
You will learn to grow confidence on board and improve your sailing and decision making while on passage.
Your own yacht cabin on board (only to share with your partner if applicable) with all the necessary items for your comfort: bedding and linens, towels, pillows.
Adding all the miles you will do in your RYA Logbook to keep track of all your progress and experiences.
Despite not being an intensive course, an instructor on board throughout the trip to guide and advise you when needed.

These trips visit the beautiful Argolic Gulf, close to our normal sailing area but a little too far to include in a week’s RYA tuition. The Argolic is very beautiful with high mountains and pretty fishing villages. It’s also very unspoilt, making it a perfect choice for those who want to get ‘off the beaten track’.
You’ll cover about 250 miles on this trip and visit the picturesque city of Nafplion in the north as well as stunning Monemavasia in the south.
The Cyclades islands are one of the world’s most renowned cruising areas. At these times of year we usually avoid the worst of the Meltemi, which in mid-summer can keep yachts in port or create uncomfortable sailing conditions.
You’ll cover around 350 miles in all, including two night sails, and two Yachtmaster qualifying passages. As with all sailing, the route is weather dependent!
From time to time we offer other milebuilding trips in different areas of Greece and on different types of boat – including a catamaran. Do not hesitate to contact us to be kept informed of the possibilities.
