Born from a love of sailing and the sea.
AlteRsail started with a simple idea: share the experience of sailing in Crete with people who would appreciate it. Today, with a fleet of well-maintained yachts and a team of local skippers, we offer boutique sailing experiences for travelers who value comfort, authenticity, and a calmer pace at sea.
Why guests choose AlteRsail
Small-group and private sailing experiences, designed around comfort, ease, and authenticity. With local skippers, genuine sailing, and routes that stay away from crowded tourist areas, AlteRsail offers a more personal way to experience Crete by sea.
Genuine Sailing
Sails up whenever conditions allow - quieter, smoother, more authentic.
Small Groups
Small groups, more ease, and no crowded-boat feeling.
Local Skippers
Local skippers who know these coasts and conditions well.
How we sail
We prioritize sailing over motors whenever conditions allow, keep groups small, and operate with care for the coastline and marine life. As an official COMBER partner, we contribute to marine biodiversity monitoring on every trip.
