Sailweek - Richmond

Kate H.

I went on SailWeek Greece with about 50 of my MBA classmates to celebrate our graduation, and it was truly an unforgettable week. This was the biggest Greece trip SailWeek has ever run, and the crew absolutely nailed it. From start to finish, everything was seamless, fun, and thoughtfully executed.

Huge shoutout to our lead skipper Daniel, who expertly guided 10 boats into tiny ports (Hydra was especially impressive). I was lucky enough to have Daniel as the skipper on my boat, and his professionalism, calm leadership, and sailing expertise made us feel comfortable and safe even while we were passing through a storm. We also had a lot of fun celebrating his birthday during the trip!

Special thanks to Ashley, who helped coordinate logistics for our massive group and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. He helped us organize private dinners for our group at two of our stops which helped to make the week extra special. Ash also brought fantastic energy and helped to ensure that everyone was having a great time throughout the week.

The scenery in Greece was breathtaking, the people were incredible, and the energy was unmatched. I’ll be thinking about this vacation for a long time. It even inspired me to sign up for sailing lessons back home because I loved being on the water so much!

Can’t recommend SailWeek enough. I’m already dreaming about my next trip.

We had the best week (and skipper) that was everything I hoped for and more! Sailing through the islands and swimming in such beautiful water was the best way to spend a week and the crew really made an effort to show you as much as possible. Such an amazing experience and our skipper Fran was all around amazing; skilled, kind, professional and just a great guy who took lots of his own time to show me the ropes (literally) and entertain us. Would do again in a heartbeat but definitely with Fran!

Had the best time with the best people. Fantastic planning, fantastic service, and just the most fun.

Ula was awesome with party planning and event management, always keeping the vibes alive.

Miguel was a skipper of the highest caliber, navigating tight docking spots like the pro he is, giving intro sailing lessons, and also being a ton of fun when off the clock.

Most notably, our hostess Janaya was the MVP of the trip. The level of hands on service, creativity with cooking and plating made eating an activity to look forward to morning, day, and night. She also had great cocktail recipes that I’d never heard of that will be a staple for years to come. Truly top talent!

Would love to run it back asap!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ UNFORGETTABLE SAIL WEEK CROATIA EXPERIENCE!

Myself and the boys had the absolute time of our lives during our 7-day Sail Week in Croatia, and it’s all thanks to the greatest duo that made our boat the best one on the sea! Shoutout to Laurie Sinclair (our amazing Lead Hostess) and Darijo Sebeledi (the legend of a Skipper)!

Laurie was a total rockstar from start to finish! She kept us organised, fed, safe, and had the boys smiling every single day. She was the heart of our yacht as she was always positive, professional, and effortlessly a vibe. Whether we were getting ready for a wild night out lol or chilling under the sun after a swim stop, Laurie was there to make everything smoother, brighter, and more fun.

And Darijo? Our C-Keeper. Always calm, confident and full of character. He reminds me of Maui the Navigator of the seas. Our guy knew everything about Croatia! The boys always felt safe in his hands and got to see the best of the beautiful croatia islands thanks to his experience and good vibes.

Our crew knew how to party hard, but we also knew how to take care of each other! Unforgettable experience with the boys from Sydney! The energy on our boat was unmatched, and it’s all because Laurie and Darijo created the perfect space for us to be our best selves.

If you’re thinking about doing Sail Week - please do it. Watch @willspalea videos on Instagram of sailweek! And if you’re lucky enough to have Laurie and Darijo running the show? Prepare for the best week of your life.

Until next time! #OLYNTHA🛳️

We had the absolute best week sailing through Greece!! Hugo is an incredible skipper - always calm, very fun to hang out with, and went out of his way to answer our questions. He was committed to providing us an experience tailored to our wishes whether it was extra dinghy rides into town or staying up late to make sure everyone on our boat got to see the bioluminescence.

Our hostess Abby was phenomenal, and our experience wouldn’t have been the same without her! She is so attentive, kept us informed throughout the entire trip, and cooked us incredible spreads of food. She provided us wonderful tips throughout the trip and even acted as a human shield to protect our luggage from a surprise rainstorm during check-in. Talk about someone who really goes the extra mile!

With this dynamic duo, we were in the best of hands! Their experience working together really shined and allowed us to have an unforgettable experience. After a week they felt like friends we were so sad to say goodbye to! Cannot recommend them and Sailweek enough!

This week was unforgettable! Mislav was our skipper and he smashed it. He made us feel safe on the boat but could also have fun and let loose outside of work. All the staff were so friendly and I loved all our stops! Thank you guys 🫶🏼

I had such an incredible time at sail week this week! The people were great to meet and the places we went were truly beautiful. Ivan, our skipper, was truly above and beyond and was very accommodating and kind to us. Being on a boat full of men drinking all day he was very patient with us and made sure to keep us very informed on Croatia and got us to and from locations safely and efficiently!
