vacations – Iliohari

Many years ago, a young couple from Paris took a trip with our sailing boat, travelling around the Peloponnese. At the end of that trip, they invited their friends and family onboard and had a beautiful marriage ceremony. Sure of their commitment to each other, they were ready to start their life together. Today they are still going strong.

Couples have to overcome many difficulties over time, and the hardest one is living together.

A sailing boat is the perfect place to test your relationship. A space very similar to a small apartment, where you need to share the workload and be around each other for many hours at a time. Decision making and good communication are necessary on board. This experience is a great test to help you decide if you are ready to take the next step with your significant other.

Love and sea are a perfect match . Plan a romantic weekend in a sailing boat and you will not regret it.
