The Athens Sailing Academy is located in Athens Greece. We use the beautiful Greek Islands as our sailing back drop as we teach new students how to master sailing. The constant sunshine and easy winds make this an ideal location to learn how to sail. When the days sailing is over you will find your self on a new island every day, and a chance to explore the Greek islands while you learn how to sail. Our instructors are all english speakers and have an intimate knowledge of the islands that you will visit while sailing with the Athens Sailing Academy.

The school runs courses from basic 101 sailing though to Off-shore instruction. Our most popular course is our 10 day Bare-boat skippers license course. The course takes you though the basics of sailing and teaches you on a small 30 ft sloop, before embarking for a weeks off shore sailing on a luxury 57 ft ketch. The week is spent sailing from Greek Island to Island learning the skills of how to handle a large yacht in confined harbors and marinas.
The course is very comprehensive, covering skills such as navigation, mechanical and electrical knowledge, sail trim and boat handling . You will live on the yacht and be part of a watch and learn about cooking at sea, yacht domestic chores, and how to prepare for and offshore trip.
This 10 day course is designed to show the novice and experienced sailor how to safely sail off shore.

For more advanced sailors we have ‘Mile-building’ cruises that take students to distant Greek islands, where no tourists go. The student will learn about sailing at night and be part of a watch , taking responsibility for the yacht while at sea.Each leg of the cruise is designed to offer different challenges for the prospective student to over come. These cruises are typically run at the beginning and end of our sailing season.
