I'm currently working with a chartering company and will offered pre/post hotel and airline packages. ~ ClaudetteSee full details and get updates at: Claudette Travels - Private Yacht Island Hopping Cruise in Greece. While the dates are not yet set, I'm looking at departing for Greece around Sept 7th (you can note your preference on this Info Form), but open to other dates in early September to enjoy the summer weather without the summer tourist crowds .
Since this is a charter and price is determined by the number of people aboard, I need to gauge serious interest. In addition to your RSVP, fill out this INFO FORM on the event page. Please fill out this out by Tuesday, 1/28. This does not obligate you, however only fill it out if you're serious and intend to go. This will help me with getting this set up.
Additionally, I can also host a Meet and Greet, either in-person on the Eastside or via Zoom to answer questions and for sailors to get to know each other before the trip. Post in comments to let me know if you'd be interested and if in-person or virtual.
NOTE: A 50% deposit (non-refundable) will be due within 24/36 hours once the trip is set - $1,500-2,250 per person. Payment details will be provided later. Travel Insurance is highly recommended.
