Imagine... lounging on the deck of “your” yacht as you sail past picturesque mountains and rocky cliffs. Enjoy the panoramic view of scenic valleys and sandy beaches as you listen to the thunderous sound of waves crashing on the distant shore.
If you prefer, take a turn at the helm, trim the sails and feel the power of wind and water touch your soul.
After your day of sailing, relax and enjoy a selection of cold drinks and tasty hors d'oeuvres on board. Later explore the streets of antiquity and dine at a local tavern for freshly caught fish while mingling with the locals.
We can assist you with all the essentials needed to smoothly transport you to the “Holiday” frame of mind, such as:
· Travel Arrangements.
· The best places to stay (centrally located lodging).
· What to do and see while in port, either before or after the sail.
· What to pack.

..."The name CUSTOM Sailing says it all. Valerie and George made our trip feel like we planned it ourselves. They were always in touch with what we wanted to do, how we were feeling and our comfort level for the conditions that we encountered. It felt like we were on a vacation with good friends, not us as the customer and they the crew. We all had great fun getting to know each other. Sharing a relaxed breakfast at whatever hour we woke, to a wonderful dinner escorted and entertained by them. At the same time we felt relaxed to make our own schedule. It was a great vacation, very relaxing and comfortable, definitely a must do journey."
John, Las Vegas, Nevada
...."I was somewhat apprehensive as this was my first sailing experience. But after the first day I realized that the people at Custom Sailing knew how to vacation on a sail boat.They took care of everything for us and it was one of the best vacations of our lives.When the sails filled with wind and we were cutting through the water, it felt like nothing else on this earth. And what a feeling when Captain Val invited me to take a turn at the helm. Priceless. Sailing with "Custom Sailing" was a truly peaceful and magnificent time. Valerie and the rest of the crew were always checking to see if we needed anything and they always made sure that we were enjoying ourselves. We did. I can't wait to do it again. Thanks Val,"
Michele, Park City, UT
"We do not know where to begin to say thank you for the most incredible trip ever! This sailing trip through the Greek Islands surpassed even our wildest dreams in terms of relaxation, beauty, food and the company that we were in. From the initial planning phases with you guys to deciding where to anchor for lunch, you were all so accommodating and helpful. We cannot express properly how much fun we had together as a couple. We had three kids at the time and a crazy paced lifestyle in Atlanta and that all came to a halt once meeting with George our captain in the marina in Athens. George was a scholar and a gentleman as well as a true friend throughout the entire trip. He indeed went the extra mile in every instance. We quickly learned that island time is essential and very addictive. As of 3-17-05 we experienced the wonderful birth of child # 4. She is really special because she is the direct result of our 10 year anniversary trip to the Greek Islands. Island time definitely got us in a relaxed mood. Again, we sincerely appreciate the professionalism as well as the custom nature that Custom Sailing stands for. We are going to make sailing with Custom Sailing an annual event and I would recommend you guys highly to anyone."
Clay and Jennifer, Cumming, GA
"Sailing around the smaller Greek islands with our Custom Sailing team, where we could take a quick dip, snorkel to our heart's content, or swim to shore for a visit with the locals, was an incredible experience. Our crew invited us along to some incredible restaurants and our on-board lunches were fabulous! "
Susan , Boulder, Colorado
Best travel experience I've ever had!!!!" "I travel to the Caribbean several times year, and have never had so much fun, and opportunity to visit the local establishments and sites, as I did with the Custom Sailing. Our trip to the BVI was terrific. Our Captain, Valerie Weingrad, was knowledgeable of the islands, and did a wonderful job of getting us to all of the sites (she's also a great cook)! I go out of my way to stay off the large cruise ships, but this I would do again and again."
Judi, Atlanta, GA
...."I enjoyed sailing with Custom Sailing immensely. Not only did we have an great time sailing the boat itself, but each day's sailing took us to an interesting new location, where our host, George, introduced us to the Greek way of eating, and drinking...not just a meal, but an experience to savor. The boat was modern and quite roomy...well thought out and engineered to maximize the use of space. The whole experience gave us the best of both worlds...the opportunity to experience serious sailing, but offered a safe, relaxed and friendly environment in which to do it. We are going again next year!"
Des, Duluth, GA
