Discover the thrill of dinghy sailing at Wildwind, where we offer an unequalled experience for sailors of every skill level. Our centre is home to one of the largest selections of sailing craft globally, featuring an impressive fleet of over 70 boats (both dinghies and catamarans) waiting for you on the beach and a dedicated team of top-notch instructors, second to none.

Established: 1987. Wildwind Sailing in Vassiliki has been teaching people to sail and enhancing their skills for 38 years, and counting...

Extensive fleet: our dinghy fleet caters to all levels of experience including kid-friendly Optimists and Zests, and Fevas, perfect for beginners, through to advanced twin trapeze craft like the RS 800 and Olympic 49er class with pretty much everything in between.

RYA and VDWS recognised teaching centre: Ensuring the highest safety standards. Our team of expert instructors, many with national and international racing accolades, are dedicated to helping you enhance your skills and knowledge, taking your sailing to the next level.

Sailing conditions: Morning winds are light on-shore breezes, perfect for beginner and novices whilst the stronger afternoon cross-shore winds are the ideal playtime for experienced sailors.

Beginners: You’ll be provided with essential instruction on how the wind influences sailing, then after a straightforward safety briefing, you’ll be fitted with a buoyancy aid and paired with one of our instructors. Together, you'll set sail in the gentle morning winds, allowing you to comfortably practice the fundamentals of handling the tiller (the steering bit) and sheets (ropes).

Novices: if you already have some sailing experience, perhaps even RYA level 1 certification, we’ll just go over the basics and safety instructions and then you can, if you wish, hop on a boat and go out and enjoy sailing, on your own or with a sailing companion. Or we’ll provide a bit more instruction for you to help take your sailing up to the next level.

Experienced sailors: whilst you’re free to enjoy the light morning winds, in the afternoon the wind generally picks up to a Force 4-5. If you are an experienced sailor these are champagne conditions – if you prefer single handers then we recommend our ILCA (Lasers) or RS Aeros; if you have come with a partner or you’d like to try one of our more advanced two person trapeze dinghies and get planing with the spinnaker at full throttle – well there’s no better place!  And if you want an instructor to join you and demonstrate our top tips all you have to do is ask!
