Explore Athens —Greece Sailing Trip for Alumni groups.

Sailing in Greece offers a unique blend of history, culture, and adventure. Imagine joining fellow alumni for a trip that combines the thrill of sailing with the charm of ancient cities. We would like to invite you to a special sailing experience designed just for your University alumni.

Sailing Spetses with the Historic Spetses Yacht Club

Spetses is a car-free island known for its beautiful sea captains’ mansions, pine forests, and crystal-clear waters. It’s a place where sailing feels like stepping back in time, yet with modern comforts. We sail classic boats like J/24s, Rhodes 19s, and Platu 25s. Whether you are new to sailing or have college sailing experience, you’ll find a welcoming environment here.

The sailing program includes friendly racing and coaching inspired by Olympic standards. This mix of fun and skill-building makes it perfect for all levels. The island’s peaceful atmosphere lets you relax after a day on the water. Explore local tavernas, walk along the pine-lined paths, or simply enjoy the sea views.

Discover Athens and the Acropolis

Athens is more than just a city; it’s the birthplace of the modern Olympics and home to the Acropolis, a symbol of ancient history. The city offers a rich mix of culture, food, and vibrant street life. Starting May 12, 2027, Alaska Airlines will fly direct from Seattle to Athens, making travel easier than ever.

Visiting Athens before or after your sailing trip adds depth to your experience. You can walk through historic sites, enjoy fresh Greek cuisine, and feel the pulse of a city that has inspired the world for centuries. The combination of Athens and Spetses creates a perfect balance of land and sea adventure.

Tailored Dates and Programs for Your Group

We offer flexible scheduling from May to June or September to October 2027. The trip is fully customizable to fit your group’s preferences. You choose the dates, length of stay, boat types, and skill levels. This personalized approach ensures everyone has a memorable and comfortable experience.

Our recent work includes co-organizing the Spetses Mini Regatta 2026, which brought together sailors from different backgrounds in a friendly competition. I would love to bring that same spirit to your alumni community, creating lasting memories and new friendships.

Why Choose This Sailing Trip

This trip is not just about sailing; it’s about connecting with history, culture, and fellow alumni. You'll experience Greece in a way few travelers do — on the water, with expert guidance, and in a relaxed, beautiful setting.

Sail Me Up, the company I run, creates authentic sailing and cultural experiences. We handle all the details so you can focus on enjoying the trip. From boat selection to local dining recommendations, everything is designed to be stress-free and tailored to your group.

If you are interested, I am happy to meet in Seattle for coffee, present at an alumni event, or arrange a call to discuss how we can make this trip special for your group. Sharing this opportunity with your members could open the door to an unforgettable adventure.
