Varkaris operates from Lagonisi, Greece, offering curated sailing experiences across the Aegean Sea. The company runs three primary trips designed for different preferences: the Semi-Private Day, Sailing Sunset, and Sailing Day. Each trip combines scenic cruising, swimming in sheltered coves, and onboard refreshments.
The Semi-Private Day is a seven-hour sailing excursion that visits private islands and the Blue Lagoon, and includes light snacks and beverages for guests. Sailing Sunset is a 2.5-hour voyage timed for sunset, sailing to locations such as Diaporos island and Vourvourou bay with complimentary wine and charcuterie and a relaxed musical atmosphere. Sailing Day provides a customizable full-day itinerary with a dedicated crew, allowing guests to explore secluded coves, turquoise lagoons, and flexible routes tailored to guest preferences; snacks, refreshments, and optional extras are available.
Varkaris emphasizes safe, comfortable sailing with attentive onboard service and clear trip descriptions so guests can choose the right experience.
