A sailing club that started taking guests.
Our two founders met racing Optimist dinghies in the Paros channel when they were eleven. Twenty years later they bought a tired 42-footer, rebuilt her over a winter on the hard at Parikia and took their first guests to Antiparos for a week. Tide grew from there, one boat at a time.
that first boat is Kyma. She still sails.

How we look after the water
Sand, not seagrass
We drop anchor on sand patches only. Posidonia meadows hold the seabed together and take a century to regrow.
Water from the watermaker
Every boat makes its own drinking water. A week aboard uses no plastic bottles.
Sail first
Engines go on to leave harbour and to anchor. In between, the meltemi does the work.
