Aiolos Sailing

Aiolos Sailing operates a private sailing cruise business based in Rethymno, Greece, offering bespoke trips on their 55-foot Bavaria monohull sailboat named 'AIOLOS'. The team has been professionally operating since 2012 and focuses on providing a unique, relaxed, and safe experience for guests exploring the Aegean waters around Crete and Rethymno.

The business is specifically designed for guests seeking a private, uncrowded sailing experience that allows for customizable itineraries, including options for caves exploring, fishing, and sunset cruises. Unlike larger tour groups, the 17-meter vessel provides spacious sunbeds and large open deck areas to ensure maximum comfort and freedom for up to 12 people on board.

The boat features a fully equipped interior with five cabins, three water closets, an extra shower, a large sitting area, and a full kitchen, alongside extensive outdoor space with numerous sunbeds and a large platform at the back for swimming and snorkeling. Guests can also enjoy free Wi-Fi, Bluetooth music, and a dinghy with an outboard engine as part of the standard amenities.

All cruises come with a comprehensive list of free-of-charge facilities, including professional skipper and crew, fuel costs for up to 200 miles, fishing gears, snorkeling equipment, linens, blankets, towels, and paddleboards. This ensures that guests do not need to pay extra for essential items during their private sailing adventure.

The business offers several distinct cruise options including a Half Day Cruise, a Full Day Cruise, a Sunset Cruise, and specialized Photo Shooting sessions. Visitors can choose between these formats depending on whether they want a quick exploration or a more immersive experience of the local waters and hidden treasures.

The vessel is a Bavaria 55 feet / 17 meters long Cruiser, which is described as one of the biggest professional monohull sailboats in the region. Its large size allows for a big open space on the 17 meters of deck, making it ideal for enjoying the sea breeze and sun while sailing around Rethymno.

The base of operations is the Marina of Rethymno, located in a beautiful city that is accessible year-round. The boat is docked at the Rethymnon Port Dock, serving as the central hub for launching private cruises and exploring the surrounding Aegean coastline.

The business caters to a wide range of activities including caves exploring, fishing, and photo shooting, making it suitable for both adventurous explorers and those looking for a relaxing sunset cruise. The customizable nature of the private cruises allows the itinerary to be tailored to the specific interests of the group.

The team includes certified instructors and experienced staff, such as Sienna Williams who teaches windsurfing lessons, and Max Smith who is a qualified windsurfing coach with plenty of trophies. The average experience of the team is around 10 years, with certifications from the national windsurfing system.

The business provides a range of services including surfing lessons taught by Sienna Williams and Max Smith, as well as accommodation arrangements through partnerships with local hotels. They also offer a full course for beginners and an introductory course lasting three days with nominal equipment rental.
