ALBATROSS: Speed, Stability, and Aegean Heritage. For those who love the thrill of genuine sailing, the 51 feet Albatross is a performance-driven specialist. A Greek-crafted vessel, she was engineered specifically for the unique conditions of the Aegean—resulting in a boat that is remarkably fast, rigid, and seaworthy. She handles the local winds with ease, providing a secure and exhilarating journey between islands. Her functional layout features 2 double and 2 twin cabins, accommodating 8 guests (plus separate quarters for your captain). For groups of 9 or 10, please reach out to us for special arrangements. FREEDOM: Classic Charm & Owner-Operated Care. Set sail on Freedom, a beautiful 52-foot sailing yacht known for her classic silhouette and reliable performance. At 52 feet, she is our largest yacht and was designed with a specific philosophy: comfort over capacity. While many charter boats of this size are designed to fit as many cabins as possible, Freedom was built to prioritize better living space for just 6 guests( + crew). While nautical spaces are naturally more compact than a home on land, this layout offers a more relaxed and less crowded environment than a typical charter vessel. As our personal yacht, Freedom is maintained with a level of care you can feel the moment you step on board. Her interior features traditional high-end wood finishes, creating a warm, cozy, and inviting atmosphere - perfect for families or small groups looking for an authentic, intimate sailing adventure. Adventure with Comfort: Life on Board. :We believe that a sailing adventure should be fun, not "roughing it." Our yachts are equipped with the modern essentials that make life on the water easy: electric toilets, pressurized hot water, and a well-stocked galley with a reliable electric fridge. Between island stops, you can relax in the shaded cockpit, or explore hidden coves with our complimentary paddleboard and snorkeling gear. For a detailed list of equipment and layout, please visit our your yacht page. |

Captain Edouard: The Specialist on AlbatrossA permanent and vital part of the Blue Water Sailing family, Edouard brings a high standard of professional expertise to the Albatross. He began his journey as a sailing instructor in Northern France, honing a technical "sea-sense" that makes guests feel instantly at ease.  After navigating the waters of Spain, Italy, and Southern France, it was the soul of the Cyclades that captured him. Edouard combines his rigorous French sailing background with a deep, local passion for the Aegean. The Power of Continuity. After captaining Albatross throughout 2025, Edouard returns for the 2026 season with an intimate knowledge of the yacht’s every detail, ensuring absolute reliability and comfort on board. Every outing at sea is an opportunity for Edouard to pass on this passion and create unforgettable memories! |

Our experience on the Freedom with Adriana and Radu was magical. We had an amazing family vacation. We spent quality time with each other while Adriana and Radu sailed the boat expertly. We cooked, laughed, stared in awe almost every moment with the beauty of the water and islands. We snorkeled, swam, sun bathed, hiked up to castles and old villages and began to experience a few Greek Islands. The schedule and timing was ours and what worked for us. We were never rushed or hurried along. We fell in love with life on the sea! Thank you, Freedom and Adriana and Radu for the best vacation ever! TripAdvisor member GlacierClimber Awesome way to experience the Cyclades!
We had a great experience with Radu and Adriana on the Freedom. Even during our research and planning months before the prompt and details of communication were spot on. They were willing to work with our plans and flexible where they could and plenty options if not. By the time we got to the boat, everything was clear and set so it was short briefing and we were off to enjoy the beautiful waters and the quiet little islands around. Radu and Adriana had great knowledge of the area and had good recommendations at start of every day and it was just down to us to enjoy everything the area had to offer. We didn't need much but the boat was clean and well equipped with toilet and showers for each cabin. For 6 of us it was plenty of room to eat and drink and hang out during travel between the islands. Very much recommended. TripAdvisor member jyoon59. Fabulous, relaxed, exhilarating, and a truly memorable experience
What a fantastic week we had, making up a group of 6 on board of the Albatross, brilliantly skippered by Edouard. Edouard is a hugely accomplished skipper, and we all felt immensely safe and secure on the seas under his calm and controlled lead. We found ourselves doing exhilarating sailing and mooring up in the most beautiful & tranquil bays. Edouard made the experience truly enjoyable – calm, polite, accommodating and great company, making the trip most relaxing, full of good laughs and above all unforgettable. We can highly recommend sailing with Edouard & Blue Water. Dorothee & Justin TripAdvisor member D G Outperformed our expectations, would recommend and would return !!
We spent 4 nights on board with Adriana and Radu on the Freedom. They provided meticulous detail and information about getting ready for the trip and what to expect in the lead up. Their suggestions for our sailing route exceeded all of our expectations and more !! We had an excellent holiday where we felt extremely relaxed with nothing to worry about. We were taken to locations we otherwise would not have known or picked, and there was always something unique and enjoyable at each spot. We just had to explore on land when we docked and get our bellies filled with the local specialties, they took care of everything else. The boat was fabulous, and we felt very at home. Their attention to detail was great ! Double thumbs up ! TripAdvisor member C N Great trip, excellent captain
Eduardo was an outstanding captain who made everything effortless. He focused on the bays and islands we wanted to see, and in high winds he smartly adjusted our route to the Small Cyclades for relaxed swimming and paddle boarding. Always social, fun to have around, and full of great restaurant tips, he made the whole trip truly enjoyable. Couldn’t ask for a better skipper – we’ll be requesting him again on our next voyage. TripAdvisor member Tom Dwyer Sailing trip with Adriana and Radu
We spontaneously booked the trip with Adriana and Radu on the Freedom. From the first contact with Adriana, we felt very well informed, looked after and safe. Adriana was particularly helpful in planning the trip with her experience and professional manner and made it easy for us to get an idea of the cruise, as it was our first time on a sailing boat. The tour itself was incredible and we experienced magical moments. Adriana and Radu, as experienced sailors, sailed us safely around the Cycladic islands and were also able to give us helpful recommendations for the time on land. We particularly liked Adriana and Radu's spontaneous, uncomplicated manner. The sailing boat was very well maintained, which underlined their passion for what they do. The two of them responded to our individual wishes and needs and gave us a unique experience. We would like to thank Adriana and Radu again and recommend them to everyone! TripAdvisor member Anja A A trip of a Lifetime
We were so fortunate to have sailed with Adrianna and Radu in our most recent adventure. They were truly amazing and the vessel was spectacular in every way. Thier teamwork and professionalism were foremost in all aspects of the trip. From managing the sails, shuttling us back and forth on the dingy, and suggesting the best places to eat and visit, they were absolutely the best. It was a trip of a lifetime; and at 71 years of age, that is a remarkable feat. TripAdvisor member Tom W Read more of our reviews on our TripAdvisor page.
