7 Days, 6 Nights
Ready for a "Sailabration"?
Thinking of Greece, makes you think of summer. But when you think of summer in Greece, you think SAILING.
If you've always dreamt of sailing the Greek oceans, while soaking up the sun with a beer in your hand, then BOAT PARTY LIFE is for you!.
There is no need for you to be a skipper. All you need is your passion for the sea, for the party and for meeting new friends from all around the world.
Its time to party in one of the most beautiful and picturesque places in the world.
Each island, each port, each traditional restaurant is there waiting to be explored. We love the sea, we love the party, we love the experience and we cannot wait to share it with you.
Our private fleet is based in Athens, Kalamaki marina, where we offer 4 - 5 cabin yachts that can accommodate 8 and 9 people in pure comfort. All of our yachts are fully equipped with everything you need. The 4 cabin yachts have 3 double cabins and one bunk cabin, along with minimum 2 bathrooms (plus one amazing evening deck shower). The 5 cabin yachts have 4 double cabins and 1 bunk cabin, along with 3 bathrooms (plus one amazing evening deck shower).
Bring your own food and beverages (fridges are quite spacious) and organize your meals and drinks around your needs - after all, you know what tickles your fancy better than we do. Each afternoon you will explore the beauties of each island, before returning to the boat for an evening party with your new friends (please bring your own music as we have the option of a CD-Player, AUX or USB stick).
It's time to make friends for life!
Book your berth, cabin or whole yacht and join us for your lifetime experience!

Itinerary Changes:
While it is our intention to adhere to the route described below, there is a certain amount of flexibility built into the itinerary, therefore, on occasions there may be some alternations. While we operate successful trips in this region throughout the year, some changes may occur in our itineraries due to inclement weather and common seasonal changes to timetables and transport routes. This can happen with little notice so please be prepared for modifications to the route. The order and timing of included activities in each location may also vary from time to time.
WEATHER:
Given the unpredictable nature of weather and travel, we are sometimes forced to make late itinerary changes due to unexpected heavy rain and/or storms and road closures. In the event of this occurring, itinerary changes may need to be implemented after commencement of you trip. In this event, your Tour guides have full authority to change the itinerary and/or order of activities and substitute alternative destinations and activities as necessary.

Contact your bank for details of their participating insurer, the level of coverage and emergency contact telephone number.
When it comes to spending money on the trip, every traveller is a little different. Some prefer to spend all their money on alcohol, whille other prefer souvenirs. You know your spending habits better than we do, so please budget a sensible amount for things like meals not included, drinks, shopping, optional activities and laundry. It's always better to bring a little more than you think you'll need. Also make sure you've read your trip details thoroughly so you know what's included in the trip price and what isn't. This should make budgeting a little easier.

As you may well know, adventures always carry an element of danger. Our GoKo trips are not just package holidays, they are immersive experiences that go off the beaten path and push can you beyond your comfort zone. That’s what makes them awesome, and that’s why we take safety very seriously.
Different countries have their own infrastructures, laws, regulations, transport systems, cultures, political situations, climates and ecosystems so the nature of an adventure means it carries genuine risks. With this is mind, we are dedicated to ensuring all reasonable precautions are made to provide trips that are safe.
We closely monitor all the countries we travel to, keeping in regular contact with our operators and suppliers for their local knowledge and expertise.
If you have any concerns about travelling to a particular country, most governments provide their own travel advice. Here are some useful links regarding foreign travel: UK citizens; US citizens; Canadian citizens; Australian citizens; New Zealand citizens. If you are not from one of the follow countries, please visit your official government advice page.
Many national governments provide a regularly updated advice service on safety issues involved with international travel. We recommend that you check your government's advice for their latest travel information before departure. We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while travelling, for the safekeeping of your passport, air tickets, travellers' cheques, cash and other valuable items. Leave your valuable jewellery at home - you won't need it while travelling.
Water based activities have an element of danger and excitement built into them. We recommend only participating in water based activities when accompanied by a guide(s). We make every reasonable effort to ensure the fun and adventurous element of any water based activities, have a balanced approach to safety. It is our policy not to allow our guides to make arrangements on your behalf for water based activities that are not accompanied by guide(s).
