Aegean Sailing School - 8 Mart. Leontiou St

Aegian sailing school has very professional instructors with a lot of experience under belt. I learned a lot during the 5 days of the course and the boat was pretty well maintained.I also met a lot of interesting and passionate people. You will also have time to enjoy, have a few swims and socialise with great people. Overall it was a GREAT experience, couldn't recommend it more.

We just completed a day skipper course. We took a private course. Instructor lacked of organisation and knowledge on instruments, he did not even know how to use a sonar and an autopilot...on the rest he had a good knowledge. We had plenty of available time as they normally run the course with 4/5 students on a yacht. We were only two and still it felt like we were never stopping for 5 days. It did not feel like a holiday. Communication was not up to standards. Mid course debrief we’re doing fine. One day later “passed the course but need more practice on some areas”, instructor never offered to practice more those areas! Final report was inconsistent with his speech and mid course briefing. That’s what not fair. Instructor was focusing way too much on a syllabus instead of seeing the big picture and focusing on areas were we could have more practice. For example, suggesting to put the sails up even when wind is almost inexistent! Unnecessary workload... Yacht maintenance could be improved as well, as the equipment had issues during the course. On the other hand administrative staff was great. Helena and her colleague always were there to help. Yacht had good performances. Location of school is great. Our instructor was calm and very polite. Chief instructor is highly qualified. Suggestions. Sailing is simple and people should keep it simple, fun and safety oriented.

Great instructor, great boat. Learned a lot

Excellent tuition by a very experienced instructor, (John), fantastic new boat, and great comms/joining instructions. I'll be back for sure. Thanks all

We asked the team at Aegean Sailing School to arrange a own-boat tuition package for our family: RYA day skipper + competent crew. They were absolutely brilliant in adapting to our particular needs, considering we had our 7 months old daughter on board. We had 2 trainers: Stefano, a young Dutch instructor who was with us for 4 days before the RYA, bringing us up to speed, and Costa, who was the RYA instructor who was in charge of our formal training. They were both AMAZING! Honestly, I don't have enough words to describe how attentive, kind and thorough they both were, allowing us to get the training done and also keeping our kid happy!

I did a 12-Day Competent Crew & Day Skipper combined course at Aegean Sailing school. A typical day involves some theory and practical learning, sailing to different ports, awesome greek food, stunning waters of the Saronic Gulf and at the end of the day, dinner with fellow students on the other boats of the school coming from all over the world. The instructors of the Aegean Sailing school are immensely experienced and very friendly. We got lots of practice bringing the boats into and out of the harbours, planning the routes, making decisions and playing around in the wind. This sailing course was an incredible experience, highly recommend Aegean Sailing school.

Did our Competent Crew with Aegean Sailing School in September 21. When we got there they were in the middle of ownership transition and logistics were quite confused, also the boat itself had seen better days. Hence the 4 stars. Hopefully these will be solved with the new ownership. But.... The course itself was amazing. The instructor was calm, knowledgeable and got us to learn and try new things. Really professional and fun. The rest of the staff were also extremely friendly and did their best to solve all the problems above. Aegina itself is a wonderful town and so were all the ports of call along the way. We are coming back in April for our Dayskipper, so that says it all.

I did a 5-day Day Skipper Course with Agean Sailing School in Mid November 2021. Temperature between 14-22 Celsius (58-72 F), great winds (Beaufort 2-6) majority of time. We had 4 students plus our instructor. Everyone had separate cabins, clean sheets, bedding and towels. We did our class on a Bavaria 44. Each day started with breakfast, briefing by our instructor (Capt. John), discussing the plan for the day, weather conditions, wind direction, and some instructions. Then, we would plan our undocking based on the wind and sea conditions, which dock lines to let go first or last, how to position fenders, and the safest way to leave the dock. Then, we would play with maneuvering under engine in the Marina a bit to get the feel for the prop walk/wash and handling the boat. Then, hoist the sails and off to the next destination. Students shared responsibility for being on the helm, working the sails, navigation and chart work, and food prep while at sea. Capt. John continued instructions while on underway, talking about how to power up, power down using sails, best practices, navigation, safety, local information, etc. Capt. Would allow each student to be part of the decision making. The learning never really stopped the whole week either from our instructor or from fellow students. Many fun and great conversations, many cups of tea while sitting in the cockpit on cool evenings, and many great dinners at local restaurants at different islands where we docked. Special Thanks to Capt. John for teaching me with incredible patience and encouragement. Also special thanks to Joris for helping me arrange the trip, and a huge thanks to Joanna for welcoming me to the class and making sure all boat accommodations are up to par and that everything runs like clockwork at the school. I hope to be back to Aegean Sailing School for more mile building classes, and the next certification. Saronic Gulf is a great place to learn to sail.
