Experience the Aegean Sea without sailing experience!

An experienced crew takes you on an adventurous sailing holiday. Choose your activity level: relax in the sun, unwind, or actively participate in sailing - everything is possible! In the evenings, you'll enjoy cosy taverns, bars, and delightful onboard barbecues. A holiday to remember!

The comfortable sailing yachts, Omiros and Osiris, offer a versatile and carefree experience in the breathtaking waters of Greece and Turkey. The experienced crew is happy to share their knowledge of sailing on board.

Depart from the luxurious marina in Kos, easily accessible from various airports in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany with direct flights.

During these adventurous sailing vacations, you'll sail from one island to another, anchor in beautiful bays, and dock in picturesque fishing harbours. You, along with your fellow travellers, determine the course and destination, unlike flotilla sailing where you depend on other vessels. While the skippers and crew prepare meals, you can enjoy the crystal-clear water by swimming and snorkelling, or simply relax on the spacious teak deck with your favourite music and a glass of chilled white wine. The sailing yachts, Omiros and Osiris, have fostered many friendships thanks to the relaxed atmosphere on board. It's easy to meet new people and socialize. Embark from the island of Kos in Greece, and after 7 or 14 days of sailing on the deep blue sea, you'll return to Kos.

Experience the Aegean Sea without sailing experience!

What's included?

The Osiris and Omiros will be equipped with the following:
  • Dutch/English-speaking guidance
  • Towels
  • Linen
  • Blankets
  • Tender + Outboard engine
  • Endcleaning
What can you expect?

What can you expect?

A great time and a well-organized holiday by an enthusiastic team! You don't need to be an experienced sailor to join us. Many of our guests have never sailed before and come mainly for the sun and the sea. You determine how active you want to be in sailing. You can take the helm, hoist sails, and assist with anchoring, or simply relax in the sun with a good book.

The crew takes care of the groceries and prepares a delicious breakfast every morning and a lovely lunch in the afternoon. You're welcome to help with cooking, but it's not mandatory. Most evenings, we dine out, but on two evenings during the holiday, we have dinner on board. This is usually a delightful barbecue while anchored in a bay.

For whom?

Are you looking for an active holiday in a beautiful region? Then you've come to the right place! Our sailing vacations are suitable for sporty singles, individual travellers, and small groups between the ages of 25 and 65 who love the sun, the sea, and sailing.

The boats, Omiros and Osiris, can accommodate a maximum of 8 participants, ensuring a relaxed atmosphere and personal interaction. We sail through the Dodecanese, a wonderful sailing area with stable wind force ranging from 4 to 7. The arrival and departure port is the luxurious Kos Marina, within walking distance from Kos town.

During our sailing trips, we navigate from island to island and anchor in cosy ports and secluded bays. You can make the sailing journey as active as you like. Whether you want to relax on deck or participate in hoisting sails and taking the helm, everything is possible!

With different routes, we depart every week, allowing you to easily create a 14-day trip without visiting the same islands. If you want to combine your passion for the sun, the sea, and/or sailing with meeting new and interesting people, then book this fantastic sailing adventure.

Experienced flotilla guidance

At Tubber you get the best service! Our flotilla guides are passionate and experienced sailors.

Quality yachts

Young and very well maintained yachts. All yachts in the Tubber flotilla are from 1 owner, so we can offer the best service with our own service during the flotilla.

All in Tubber package

All yachts in the Tubber flotilla have an all-inclusive flotilla package. Outboard motor, towels, linen, final cleaning and a welcome pack, it's all included!

The crew: Franky, Julia, John and Miranda

Meet Captain Franky: With more than 45 years of sailing experience, including no less than 35 years in the Greek sailing area, he has extensive knowledge of the most beautiful bays and beaches. Last winter Frank worked in Asia where he was involved in the restoration of an impressive 38 meter Classic Grand Banks Gaff schooner in Phuket. This captain is an excellent master of his trade and always steers the two yachts Omiros and Osiros with extreme skill over the water.

Julia is one of the few female skippers in the Dodecanese and keeps proving her skills. For her, sailing is the ideal combination of adventure and relaxation. She comes to rest on the water and enjoys her surroundings to the fullest. In addition to her sailing skills, Julia has a passion for cooking, so she always prepares delicious dishes in the galley. With her energetic character, she is always ready to dance on deck. While others take a nap during their lunch break, Julia enjoys exploring the area snorkeling or on a SUP board.

John has been sailing both yachts for quite some time. He started out with small boats and windsurfing, but his adventures grew bigger over time. In the Netherlands he enjoys sailing his own sailing boat and regularly takes part in competitions. Now he navigates the sailing yachts through the Dodecanese.

Miranda has been part of the team since 2019. After working in the nursing care for 10 years, she decided to change course and follow her passion and love for sailing. When the sails are set and the boat glides gracefully through the water, she feels most comfortable. Along with the rest of the team, Miranda is ready to ensure you have an unforgettable and fantastic time on board!
