We are Philimon & Simeon
both professional Yacht-Skippers and both Chefs, although in different grades of proficiency. Renowned for our exceptional organizational skills, we embody "Philoxenia," the Greek term for hospitality - a fusion of "philo," meaning friend, and "xenos," meaning stranger. We deeply value the finer details and set our own quality standards, earning us wonderful feedback from those we've hosted. In 2024, we chose to expand our horizons beyond the same familiar companies and share our expertise with a wider audience. By merging our passions for sailing and cooking, we’ve crafted a specialised portfolio in the fields of Scuba-Diving, Fine-Dining, Climbing and Bouldering as well as Yoga and Sail Retreats. Those are our hobbies and thats how we want to share it with our guests, yachting by the sea.
The challenges we solve :
hallenge: Sorting through the overwhelming options of yachts, identifying the good from the bad, and handling all the paperwork can be a huge task.
olution: We take care of this for you by using the network we’ve built and the experience we’ve gained over the last 10 years.
hallenge: It can be a gamble to find a crew with the right skills, attitude, language skills, and ability to work well with people.
olution: We try to join the trips ourselves as often as we can. If that's not possible, we carefully select and train our skippers, chefs, and hosts/hostesses to meet our standards.
hallenge: Every sailing trip with a specific focus, like yoga, has special requirements for the destinations that need to be planned out ahead of time.
olution: We train and guide our staff with the local knowledge needed for each unique application. This involves a lot of research and building partnerships with local people and businesses, to enable a seamless Yoga and Sail Retreat experience.

We had a great week of yoga and sailing! Simon guided us to some lovely spots along the coast of Corfu as well as around Paxos and Anti-Paxos. Every single yoga spot was great. The food prepared by the chef was excellent and really enhanced our trip. We’re looking forward to sailing with them again. (Translated)
