RYA Sailing School in Greece
Now part of the Saronic Sails Group
aegeanMode is proud to announce it is now part of the Saronic Sails Group, based at Nea Peramos Marina just west of Athens. Saronic Sails is the Athens-side charter company of the Ionion Sails Lefkas group, one of Greece’s most established sailing operators with over 30 years of experience. The training does not change: the same RYA recognised courses, the same experienced RYA certified instructors, the same well maintained and safety compliant fleet. What changes is the strength behind it. Your RYA course now sits alongside a privately owned charter fleet, so you can learn to sail in Greece and then keep sailing, the same season or the next.RYA training in Greece, year round

The Saronic Gulf, with its steady winds and sheltered islands, is one of the best training grounds in Greece for sail and powerboat alike.A recognised RYA training centre
