Route
Program
- Our 7-day adventure will start from the South Bay of the city of Sevastopol. Our sailboats are already waiting for you there. You can come to us in any way from any corner of the country and the world, and we will do our best to promote this.
- We will select convenient dates for going to sea together with you. Departure - every week.
- We will meet you at the train station in Sevastopol or the nearest airport in the city of Simferopol by car, deliver to the port, to the yacht. Agree, it's convenient. (included in the price)
- We will help you with sensible advice on how to get closer to us from the airports of Anapa and Krasnodar, railway and bus stations in other cities.
In the photo gallery on this page you will find photos of yachts and photos of the places that are planned according to the program. (see below)
Day 1: Welcome aboard!
- Met — Arrived! Welcome aboard! Sevastopol's southern bay, the historic city center, cafes and restaurants, the embankment, Grafskaya pier, the naval base — it's all here, just a stone's throw away. Clear some space on your smartphone for photos in advance.
- Introduction, accommodation, briefing, safety precautions. We occupy cabins and bunks, according to preliminary agreement. We unpack things. For the next week - you are home!
- Towards evening: FIRST GENERAL Gathering of the team.
- In the evening: Welcome party from the captain! Original drinks (included in the price.) Alcoholic and non-alcoholic :).
Day 2: We leave
- Breakfast (included in the price, today and all subsequent days).
- The yacht is already fueled with diesel. (included in the price) There are sails, but the fuel is also useful.
- Morning briefing, distribution of roles on the ship among the crew. What did you think!? We are now a TEAM.
- There will be everything. Rest and sunsets, setting sails, kitchen watches, sailing training, calls to other ports, mooring, fish restaurants, anchoring in wild bays, swimming on a hot afternoon and under the moon, boarding a boat ashore, bonfires, music, etc. silence ... Stars falling into the sea and sunrises, beautiful as the very face of nature.
We have the entire Crimean coast at our disposal!
- Sevastopol bays: Yuzhnaya, Inkerman, Art-Bukhta ... Black Sea Fleet bases, Ancient Chersonesos, Cape Tarkhankut, amazing Cape Fiolent, Yashmovy and Yantarny beaches. Slender snow-white lighthouses will wink at us at sunset. Wildlife and a southern summer night will steal all our thoughts ... Traveling on a yacht is unlike anything else!
- Balaklava Bay will take us under the protection of its ancient fortress towers. (The cost of the yacht's calls to ports is included in the tour price). Balaklava is the Crimean Italy. The centuries-old walls of the Cembalo fortress, the best fish restaurants, branded shops of local wines. A declassified military facility from the Cold War is now a museum. The captain's recommendations will be very useful.
- It is a stone's throw from Balaklava to Laspi Bay (Dream Bay). This is Crimean Greece. The famous South Coast begins here.
Important!
We monitor the weather closely.
- What should a good captain do in bad weather? Right! Tell you sea anecdotes in a cozy, safe bay!
- What should a good team do in bad weather? Right! Explore nearby attractions, fish, cook delicious food on a yacht, swim. Sip on the bow of the ship, cool wine, listen to the captain's stories of voyages and learn nautical science.
- "B" - Safety. Our yachts are equipped with powerful diesel engines, all the necessary sails for any weather, and have weathered serious storms under the control of their captains. But!? We don't need that now. After all, we have guests! Right? That's why we are based in Crimea. There are plenty of such cozy bays here. Some of them are so big - for example, Inkerman Bay - that you can sail there all day long until the fleeting summer bad weather in the open sea subsides. Learn to sail before going out on the "big water", explore the local beauties.
- We are based in the most picturesque place of Crimea and it is not only beautiful, but also a GUARANTEE that your ☝ planned vacation will be great, regardless of the rare summer weather freaks.
Therefore, there is no clear schedule for each day and cannot be. The captain knows at what time and under what circumstances where to navigate his favorite ship, offers route options, is competent in the choice of sea and land attractions.
In summer, bad weather at sea takes only 5-6% of the total time of the year and will not affect your vacation.
Well. You are already comfortable on the ship, you have learned something. A day or two had passed by this point. We are not a train or an airplane. We are on a snow-white sailing ship and this is not a dream. Why should we rush somewhere? Our journey continues.
The days that followed
- The south coast of Crimea. Subtropics. Summer. Yacht!
- We recommend: Simeiz Bay, Diva Rock, landing on the shore to the lift to Ai-Petri, Vorontsov and Massandra Palaces. Who has already been there? We have a long list of places - don't worry :)). Swallow's Nest from the sea, Yalta Bay, Partenit, Gurzuf Bay, Pirate Bay (Sinyaya Bay, where the movie "Pirates of the 20th Century" was filmed), Tsar's Bay.
- Impossibly beautiful bay Novy Svet, House of Champagne Golitsyn, Genoese fortress in the Sudak bay, extinct volcano Karadak, Golden Gate, Koktebel bay.
- Wherever we want: we hunt for mussels, fish, swim, get enough sleep, study, help the captain in everything, go ashore, take cool places by storm, play games in the evenings and enjoy all the colors of nature. We are trying to count all the stars falling into the sea. How long can you smile with pleasure?
You seem to be starting to realize that nothing beats traveling on a yacht. And you will be right. This is a pure dream, and these dreams are coming true right now!

Genoa, 3 staysails, spinnaker, two mainsails, mizzen. Those who understand will appreciate it, those who don't understand the words - don't worry - we'll teach you everything. Sail wardrobe: Genoa 140% on furling, two mainsails, mizzen, staysail 1-2-3, spinnaker. Doesn't mean anything? Don't worry, we'll teach you everything soon.
