Sail the World
From quiet anchorages far from the tourist crowds to cosy seaside tavernas serving real Greek flavours – Sailing Zorba offers a truly authentic journey through the Greek islands. Let us take you to our favourite hidden spots and show you why, after over 20 years at sea, we believe Greece is the best sailing destination in Europe.
Live Like Zorba – Free, Joyful, Fully Present.
Zorba isn’t just the name of our boats. It’s a spirit – inspired by Zorba the Greek, the unforgettable character created by Nikos Kazantzakis. It’s about embracing every moment, finding joy in the simple things, and creating memories that last a lifetime.
Aga, Greg and the Zorba crew live by this philosophy. They cherish Greece’s slow rhythm, its golden light, kind-hearted people, soulful music, fresh food, and the beauty of nature. When you sail with us, you don’t just visit Greece – you feel it. And before long, you start to carry that Zorba energy with you too.

Your Safety Comes First – Always
At Sailing Zorba, safety is at the heart of everything we do. For years, we’ve crossed the Atlantic twice a year, navigating all kinds of weather and sea conditions with confidence. Both Zorba and Zorba Cat are tried, tested, and trusted. When you sail with us, you’re in safe hands – so you can relax and enjoy the journey.
Commercial Licensed & Inspected
Both Zorba and Zorba Cat are fully licensed commercial charter yachts, officially registered under the Greek flag. They undergo strict annual inspections to ensure top safety standards and consistent quality – so you can sail with peace of mind.
Equipped for Safety
Both of our boats are fully equipped with all safety gear required by Greek maritime law, ensuring a secure and worry-free sailing experience in all conditions.
Sailing with Heart and Experience
Aga and Greg, a Polish couple with nearly 20 years of experience, have been creating unforgettable sailing holidays across Greece, the Mediterranean, and the Caribbean. Their passion and dedication earned them a spot in The Guardian’s list of the 10 best sailing holidays in Europe. For many years they split their time between the Greek islands and the Caribbean, crossing the Atlantic twice and always exploring new destinations. With the owners on board, guests enjoy not only expert knowledge and total safety, but also a truly personal, warm and caring experience – where your comfort and happiness come first.
Meet the Crew – Passionate, Skilled, and Sea-Loving
Our team is made up of experienced sailors and true adventurers. Each crew member brings their own personality, expertise, and a deep love for the sea. Together, we create a warm, professional, and friendly atmosphere that makes every journey feel like sailing with old friends.
Aga and Greg both changed their lives completely, leaving behind their stressful jobs with long working hours and no time for family or friends. Zorba is not only where they met, but also where they began a new chapter called “joy” in their lives. They have since added Zorba Cat to their family, and Zorba is now sailing alongside them with Aga’s sister and one of their trusted skippers taking the helm.
Greg
Born by the sea, Greg has been sailing since childhood. As a former member of the Polish national sailing team, he competed in regattas and mastered every kind of weather the sea could throw at him. After thousands of miles on oceans and seas around the world, sailing has become second nature – he’s likely spent more time on the water than on land (though he’s not one to keep count).
Over 20 years ago, Greg left a successful career as a director in a global corporation to follow his true calling: life at sea. Since then, he’s lived on his boat, crossed the Atlantic multiple times, and turned his passion into a profession. Today, he’s a certified ISSA instructor and licensed Captain with no limits – able to issue skipper certificates and guide guests with unmatched skill and calm.
When you sail with Greg, you're in the hands of one of the most experienced skippers in Greece. His expert mooring, deep knowledge of the sea, and steady leadership ensure not just safety – but total peace of mind.
Aga
In a previous life, Aga was a film producer (you can even find one of her films on Netflix!). But nine years ago, everything changed when she booked a sailing holiday on Greg’s boat… and never left. Since then, she’s been the soul of Zorba Cat – making guests feel at home, solving every little detail behind the scenes, and sharing her love for Greece’s hidden gems.
Aga is the onboard chef and the mastermind behind the fresh, healthy, and famously delicious meals served on Zorba Cat. Her passion for local flavours shines through in every dish – from homemade feta made by her friend Giota, to single-origin olive oil pressed by Panagiotis, and the freshest vegetables from local markets and gardens. Many guests say the food alone is reason enough to come back.
But there’s more – Aga is a marathon runner, yoga lover, and an ambassador of the active life. Her energy is infectious, her enthusiasm for the Greek lifestyle is real, and her care for guests is unmatched.
Together with Greg, she’s also a wing foiling enthusiast – always happy to introduce guests to this exciting sport, or cheer them on from the water.

"We had a fantastic holiday onboard Zorba. Our crew, Tom and Agatka, made us feel welcome, comfortable, and safe from the get-go and went above and beyond to make our trip an unforgettable experience. Beautiful breakfasts and lunches — the kind you wouldn’t be surprised to find at an Ottolenghi restaurant — were served up daily, and our captain made sure we always had the best days sailing possible. Evening meals at local restaurants, already booked by the crew, took the hassle and worry out of finding somewhere to eat. I hope we can do this again soon."

What a week sailing on the Zorba Cat, with great team duo Aga and Greg!! Food was fantastic, the islands we visited were awesome and had so much variety and authenticity. A truly active yet relaxing holiday, would recommend to anyone!
Greg is an excellent and skilled captain and made the experience unforgettable. We touched all spectrums of greek ports and restaurants from lively and upscale to small, secluded and pastoral with only one taverna. Fabulous gems where we anchored and swam - some with secluded beaches. Would love to do this again!
5 stars, words and pictures will not do these guys justice - they have truely put together a unique and unforgettable experience and I would recommend them to everyone and anyone.
cannot recommend Greg & Aga highly enough! Between Zorba Yacht and Zorba Catamaran, this highly experienced sailing couple offer amazing charter holidays. My family and I were aboard Zorba Catamaran and had the most wonderful time. Greg is an excellent sailor with great knowledge of the best spots in Greece! Aga is a lovely chef and hostess that took great care of a hungry bunch! The sailing, snorkeling, relaxing, stargazing, home cooked meals, local taverna dinners, and many more amazing activities made for a delightful holiday. This sailing couple helped us realise a dream holiday. Whether you want to get hands on with sailing, or simply cruise around the Mediterranean aboard Zorba, Greg & Aga have you covered. I cannot recommend them highly enough!
The best sailing holiday! Perfect combo of relaxing and learning. As a solo traveller I felt really welcomed, safe and comfortable. Can’t wait to bring my family onto Zorba one day. Aga and Arni were the best!
Zorba cat is a heavenly experience. We enjoyed every moment. The team were outstanding ensuring our comfort and making any and all accommodations to make sure it was a holiday of a lifetime! The food was superb and cleanliness impeccable. It was amazing!!! We have already rebooked for next year 🩷
A couple of my friends and myself embarked on SY Zorba with the caveat that only 3 people of our 8-strong crew were ever on a sailboat… All our apprehension went quickly overboard after we realised what a great team Tomek (skipper) and Agata (hostess) really are. Not only are they experienced yachstpeople, but the calm competence they both exude combined with a discreet bedside manner make them also the most gracious hosts. Lovely! Tomek is a great skipper and, to put it simply- a great guy to be around. Agata, well… Agata is just the nicest person I’ve sailed with, and… she cooks fabulously! Having said all that there is no need to discuss the boat, it’s rigging, handling etc. because Tomek and Agata just make it look like it sails itself. A lovely time I certainly want to repeat!
Unforgettable from start to finish , Greg and Aga really catered to anything we wanted from locations , food , water sports and anything in between . Such a special trip couldn’t recommend highly enough . Only negative is that we had to leave !!! Unreal experience
We have been sailing with Zorba. Tom was the best captain we could ever have, and lovely Aga cooked daily such amazing and healthy meals, not even in our best holidays we could ever think about it. We went from Aegina to Naxos. Daily we were in mooring in either lovely ports or quiet bays. Definitely the best way to start our holidays in Greece and HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended!
I dont normally write reviews post a holiday but there are only 3 words that can sum up my last few Days in Greece..... Simply the best! We have just had the most amazing week with Greg and Agga. Family, fun, food, friendship and the most amazing aegian experiences. Sailing with the Zorba Cat is an absolute must! Without hesitation we will be back and as soon as possible. Absolutely stunning!
Our family’s sailing holiday with Aga and Greg on board Zorba Cat was an exceptional experience. A truly wonderful couple who combine their skills, experience and passions to create memories that will stand the test of time. Aga’s hospitality, energy, organisation and cooking are first class. She went out of her way to make our birthdays truly special. Greg combines his passion for sailing and technical brilliance with a calmness and focus on safety that will make everyone feel comfortable. We really did learn from the best and had such fun at the same time!!! The boat is well appointed and we visited so many incredible places. I strongly recommend Zorba Cat as a magical sailing holiday in a gorgeous part of the World. Thank you.
Sailing on Zorba Cat was amazing. If you want to see the Greek islands by sail boat this is your trip. The food onboard was fabulous. Each night we had dinner at a Greek taverna. The food at each was amazing and unique. Each day we would find a small protected area to swim as we moved, under sail, from one island to the next. Greg loves to sail not motor around the islands. This is a trip we will not soon forget.
Aga and Greg are the best people we could hope would accompany us around the beautiful Saronic islands. Aga is pure perfection in the organization, communication and especially delicious cooking 🩷 Greg is pure passion for the sea, real safe and fun sailing, and teaching guests that want to get involved 💙
WOW! What a week! We’ve just had the most incredible time sailing with Sailing Zorba. Everything from the delicious food and fun activities to the beautiful sailing routes, island hopping, water sports, and learning to sail has been amazing! A massive thank you to Aga and Greg for making our experience so special, your energy, knowledge and hospitality made every moment unforgettable. We can’t wait to come back and do it all over again! I couldn’t recommend these guys enough, truly amazing!
We had the most amazing week sailing around the Saronic Islands and can’t thank Aga and Greg enough for giving us the best experience! From start to finish everything was perfect – Aga’s food was ridiculously good (every meal was a highlight!) and Greg’s sailing knowledge and guidance were truly first-class. We shared so much laughter, joy, and great times not only with our friends but also with Aga and Greg, who made us feel right at home. This was a week we will never forget, and we can’t wait to be back on board Zorba Cat again. Highly, highly recommend! 🩵
An unforgettable experience from start to finish, and I can’t recommend it enough! First of all, our skipper Arnon was absolutely fantastic. Calm, professional, and with a great sense of humor, he made everyone feel safe and relaxed from the moment we stepped on board. His deep knowledge of the area meant that every stop was better than the last. He also involved us in the sailing, which made the experience even more fun! A huge shoutout as well to our wonderful hostess, Agatka. Her cooking was simply incredible — every meal was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. She had an amazing way of making the boat feel like home, always with a smile, and was invaluable in organizing our land expeditions. You can tell she really loves what she does, and it shows in every detail. The itinerary was perfectly paced — a mix of sailing, swimming, exploring on land, and many nice little seaside restaurants. I left the boat with new friends, a camera full of memories, and a heart full of gratitude. If you’re considering this trip — go for it. You won’t regret it.
Many thanks to Aga and Greg for taking care of us so wonderfully onboard their Zorba Cat. I celebrated my 57th birthday with my family by sailing around the Saronian Islands from June 15th to 22nd. It was a truly wonderful holiday experience and my best birthday ever. We were very well looked after and enjoyed ourselves tremendously. We enjoyed many activities including snorkelling, swimming, paddle-boarding, kayaking, tubing… we had so much fun!! Every night we ate at a different restaurant and the food was simply superb! We also had delicious meals onboard. Everywhere we went we tasted the freshest seafood, and classic Greek cuisine that was so good. Other special events included a winery tour, learning to Zorba dance, and opportunities to visit historic ancient sites. It was a wonderful introduction to Greece and her lovely people, history, culture, and scenic coasts! Thank you, Greg and Aga, and Stach, for everything, we had the holiday of a lifetime. We’d love to sail with you in the Caribbean next! You guys are the best, and we love you! ❤️
This was my first sailing holiday and honestly it couldn’t have been any better! We spent a week sailing in the beautiful saronic islands with Aga and Greg. This trip was specially organised in collaboration with Evelina to include yoga everyday at a different island. Greg was an awesome captain. His experience and knowledge of the islands was vast, he was patient and always very calm. He has such a passion for the service he provides. Aga is a beautiful, kind hearted person who made us feel at home. She cooked the most amazing meals for us and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed every minute of our holiday. They both introduced us the most wonderful tavernas on the islands and the wine tasting was an incredible experience and treat! You can see the way they are warmly welcomed by the owners of the tavernas, that they are special people who genuinely love what they do. Will certainly book a sailing trip with Aga and Greg again!
