Sailing & Mentoring

About us

Sailing & Mentoring grew out of a deep love of Greece and the sea. We offer sailing education and marine services for people who want to build their skills and enjoy time on the water.

We offer mentoring for new skippers and those looking to strengthen their confidence, sailing itinerary advice, team-building workshops aboard a yacht, yacht photo days and leisure sailing in Greece. Our activities also include skipper courses with theory and practice aboard a yacht.

Our skippers bring extensive experience. We know that learning to skipper takes time and practice, and that the process can be full of memorable experiences. We are here to guide you along the way.

    אחי ואני עשינו קורס סקיפרים בלפקדה עם אסף. אין מילים שיוכלו לתאר את החוויה המדהימה הזו! במשך 5 ימים הפלגנו לחופים מופלאים, תרגלנו את כל החומר העיוני שלמדנו ונהננו מכל רגע. אסף נעים, סבלני ומלמד באווירה כיפית. מומלץ בכל גיל, גם ללא ניסיון מוקדם.

    My wife and I just spent a wonderful week sailing with Asaf. Asaf is, on top of being an excellent sailing coach and knowing the right places to go in the Ionians islands, a positive thinker and a wise person we enjoyed to speak with about pretty much everything. We strongly recommend Asaf!
