The Odyssey Return

What will the type of sailing be like?

What You'll Gain: Continued Mile-Building: Additional offshore miles logged after the regatta — ideal for building towards YM Offshore, YM Ocean, or higher qualifications. Offshore & Coastal Blend: Experience both 24-hour non-stop passages and relaxed coastal navigation. The best of both worlds. Night Sailing: Watchkeeping rotations on overnight legs. Consolidate the confidence built during the regatta. Passage Planning: Practical experience routing along complex coastlines, managing weather windows, and making tactical harbour decisions. Cultural Exploration: Stops at authentic Greek, Ionian, and Adriatic harbors — places where the marinas are small, the food is extraordinary, and the history runs deep. Mileage & Passage Confirmation: Official documentation of your passage for license applications and logbook records.

Any Specific Requirements?

• Sailing Experience: Completion of our Advanced Sailing Course (or equivalent verifiable experience). Prior offshore or overnight experience is beneficial but not mandatory — especially if you've just completed the Aegean 600 with us.
• Physical Fitness: You must be able to handle watch duties for the offshore legs. The coastal days are more relaxed, but the offshore passages demand the same focus as any serious open-water sailing.
• Dependability: Be prepared to perform roles and assignments as designated by the skipper, demonstrating flexibility and a proactive approach to teamwork.
• Team Spirit: A positive attitude, sense of humor, and willingness to share tasks. We cook together, clean together, and explore together.
• Resilience: A genuine love for sailing that endures across varied conditions — from scorching Adriatic sun to brisk night watches.
