Shared Day Sailing

Join a day on the Messinian Bay aboard a shared catamaran. Swim, relax, and enjoy a carefully prepared on-board menu while exploring hidden coves and turquoise waters. This option lets you sail alongside other travelers - whether you're on your own, with friends, or as a couple - for a fun and memorable day at sea in easy, convivial company.

Private Day Sailing

Step aboard your private catamaran and set sail across the crystal-clear waters of the Messinian Bay, where every cove tells a story and every wave sparkles under the sun. Spend the day swimming in secluded bays, feeling the warm breeze on your face, and watching the coastline unfold like a hidden treasure map. This is more than a trip - it's your private escape, where couples, families, or small groups can share laughter, quiet moments, and memories that linger long after the sails are furled.

We had a great trip with Messinia Trips! It was a wonderful day on the water with friendly guides and delicious food. The captain even jumped in the water when I accidentally dropped my phone in! I would definitely recommend taking a cruise with them!

We had an unforgettable trip! The locations were absolutely stunning, and the lunch was delicious. George was incredibly friendly and even gave me a great crash course in stand-up paddleboarding. A fantastic experience from start to finish - highly recommended!

Absolutely a must-do catamaran excursion in Kalamata! Captain George was amazing, the food was delicious, and the bays were incredible. Truly a great time - I highly recommend it for singles, families, anyone. We came with our adult children and had an incredible time.

Fantastic experience with the catamaran! We booked a sailing trip and were absolutely thrilled. The boat was clean and comfortable, and the crew was very friendly, experienced, and always ready to help. Everything was very well organized! We would definitely do the trip again and recommend it without hesitation.
