Shooting Star - For Those Who Want Sailing To Feel Like Sailing

Shooting Star is for sailors who still believe that the journey matters more than the hardware. At 20 metres, she is a classic monohull in the truest sense: long, lean, and built to move beautifully through the water rather than dominate it. Step aboard and the clutter of modern charter life falls away. What remains is what has always drawn people to the sea: wind, water, a capable skipper, and the quiet thrill of pointing the bow toward a new horizon.

There are no jet skis humming at the stern, no flybridge Jacuzzi bubbling away, no cinema room glowing blue in the dark. Instead, there is the creak of timber as she heels gently, the hiss of water along her hull, the soft thrum of rigging in a steady breeze. Days unfold at the pace of the wind. You watch an island appear as a smudge on the horizon, then slowly take shape - cliffs, chapels, whitewashed houses - as Shooting Star carries you toward it under canvas.

This is sailing as it has been experienced in Greece for thousands of years. You feel the boat respond to every shift in the breeze, you trim a sail and sense the difference instantly, you learn to read the water and the sky. For those who are curious, patient, and a little romantic, Shooting Star is not just transport between islands; she is a teacher, a companion, and a front-row seat to the Aegean.

At from €13,000 per week for six guests, she is one of the most accessible yachts in the fleet, yet also one of the most authentic. Couples find an intimacy here that big yachts can’t offer: quiet anchorages, starlit cockpits, the shared rhythm of days shaped by wind and weather. Small groups come aboard and leave with calloused hands, new skills, and a deeper understanding of what it means to truly sail.

There are more opulent yachts, bigger decks, and flashier toys elsewhere. What they cannot replicate is the feeling of being genuinely, completely at sea - of trading excess for essence. On Shooting Star, luxury is not measured in marble and chrome, but in the simplicity of a well-trimmed sail, a perfectly chosen anchorage, and the rare sense that, for a week, your life has been pared back to what really matters: good company, a good boat, and the open Aegean ahead.

Three en-suite cabins host six guests, and her shallow draft opens anchorages the bigger boats sail past: the inner coves, the quiet corners, the places where you swim to shore. For guests who want to learn, the skipper is half the value of the week; take the helm, trim a sheet, and come home with a skill as well as a tan. An optional hostess turns her fully serviced for those who prefer their sailing with lunch appearing on time.

From 13,000 euros per week, Shooting Star is the most accessible sailing monohull in our fleet and the most honest: no jet skis, no theatre, just wind, water and the Aegean doing what it has always done. Some clients call it basic. The ones who book her call it pure.
