Swimming stops in the turquoise coves around the area, such as Kalamaki Bay, are typical highlights .

These water sports add a burst of adrenaline, laughter, and unforgettable memories, Swim in secluded lagoons, snorkel above shoals of fish, hike trails with stunning coastal vistas or simply bask in the warm Greek sunshine.
- Unwinding at Sea: †¨Between destinations, relax on deck and let the gentle rocking of the boat lull you into serenity. Sunbathe, read, journal, or simply stare at the endless horizon.

About the provider
We are based in Israel and while we enjoy our wonderful beaches, we realized that we are missing out on all the Mediterranean has to offer. It touches our shores but is underused and underrated!
After qualifying as a skipper and sailing the seas around Israel, I cast my net wider and started chartering catamarans in the Mediterranean. This is a fantastic way of traveling within the framework of keeping kosher because the catamaran has its own kitchen yet can be taken to the most beautiful parts of the Med.
As the word started to spread and friends and family wanted to join us on our adventures, we decided to offer kosher sailing in the Med to a wider audience. We are a family business in Israel working with partners around the Mediterranean and now the Caribbean to bring an amazing and unforgettable sailing experience to the kosher world!
We hope you'll come and join us!
