Mile building
Enhance your sailing skills in Greece
+Overview
Mile-builder programs are designed for sailors who already have some hands-on experience and a solid grasp of core sailing skills, and who want to progress toward more confident, independent skippering. Starting from Athens, you’ll embark on an extended 7-day trip with a small crew (maximum five participants), logging valuable miles while exploring the Greek islands.
During a mile builder, each participant is given extended time at the helm and priority in decision-making to develop real skippering competence. Along the way, you’ll also take part in daily training sessions, allowing you to refine both your practical techniques and your theoretical knowledge as you work toward higher-level certifications or future bareboat charters.
+Who is it for?
Mile builders are ideal for sailors who already feel comfortable with the fundamentals—typically those who have completed the RYA Day Skipper Sail course, or have equivalent experience. They suit anyone aiming to:
-
Build sea miles toward advanced certifications (e.g., RYA Coastal Skipper)
-
Experience real-life skippering responsibilities in varying conditions
-
Prepare for future bareboat charters or skipper roles
