Sail and Discover - The beginning<\/div>
\"Sail<\/div>

With the unwavering support of my friends Yves and Claire-Lise Haldemann, Stephan brought Sail & Discover to life \u2014 a journey born from his deep love for the sea and the joy of cruising. And thus, the Sail and Discover adventure set sail!<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

From 2012 to 2019<\/div>
Our Cruising speed has been reached.<\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/div>
<\/div>
Over 100 cruises organized<\/div>
\"\"<\/div>

With carefully selected charter boats, Sail and Discover offers and Stephan manages private cruises in Croatia (Kornati Islands), Sicily (Aeolian Islands), Greece (Aegean Sea, Dodecanese, Saronic Gulf), and the West Indies (Grenadines). We\u2019ve organized over 100 weeks of unforgettable holidays on the water, with more than 500 satisfied guests.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

October 2019<\/div>
The adventures continues with our own yacht<\/div><\/div>

Aquisition of Chronos<\/div>
\"Active<\/div>

Stephan meets Constantin Christov, and together they acquire a 1999 Bavaria 50 \u2014 the perfect sailboat for Sail & Discover. Moored in Preveza, Stephan instantly falls in love with the region: stunning waters, ideal sailing conditions, and everything needed for unforgettable cruises. They quickly decide to make Preveza their summer base.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

More than 40 cruises organized in the Ionian sea<\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/div>
<\/div>
From 2020 to 2023<\/div>
\"\"<\/div>

The Ionian sailing area<\/a>, with its countless islands, is truly spectacular to organise skippered sailing holidays in Greece<\/a>. Focusing on one area allows for a deeper connection with the region and the opportunity to build meaningful relationships. Stephan became the sole owner of Chronos and chose to make the yacht his home.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Sailing<\/div>

In the winter and spring of 2022-2023, Stephan assisted a couple with no prior sailing experience in mastering and optimizing their new Lagoon 450S catamaran, preparing them for a global sailing adventure. This marked the beginning of a new venture.\u00a0Visit the Sail and Discover coaching page<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Stephan<\/div>

Stephan fell in love with Yuliia in September 2023. A first-time sailor, she quickly embraced the experience. They spent the winter in Valencia and set off on a Mediterranean crossing, filled with new adventures. By spring 2024, they returned to Pr\u00e9veza, with Yuliia mastering sailing and confidently assisting the captain. Passionate about cooking, she also delights in caring for their guests. The Sail & Discover journey continues, now with a talented hostess on board!<\/a>

From 2027 to ...<\/div>
A new chapter<\/div><\/div>

\"\"<\/div>
After five years of Stephan living full-time onboard\u2014and three wonderful years sailing alongside Yuliia\u2014the duo is taking a well-deserved sabbatical to enjoy life on land. It has been an extraordinary journey full of great memories and rewarding challenges.<\/div>\n
