17 Jul The Gourmet Sailing & Full On-Board Meal Focus
When booking a luxury sea excursion, the wind in the sails and the turquoise water are only half of the experience.
The true definition of Mediterranean living comes together when outstanding navigation meets authentic gastronomy.
Unfortunately, many boat tours compromise on food, offering basic pre-packaged snacks or cold sandwiches that fail to match the beauty of the surrounding landscape.
At Nafplio Sun Sail, we treat our on-board dining as a primary anchor of your experience.
Across our upgraded fleet of a classic sailing yacht and a luxury catamaran, we pair your cruise with a full, freshly prepared Mediterranean meal designed to showcase the culinary heritage of the Peloponnese.
The “Zero-Kilometer” Philosophy: From Argolis Farms to Your Deck
We believe that food tastes best when it doesn’t travel long distances in plastic wrapping.
Our culinary team coordinates with artisan farmers, local fishermen, and boutique cheesemakers across the Argolis valley to source fresh ingredients every morning before sail-away:
- The Appetizers: Your meal opens with authentic Greek mezze, including crisp local cucumbers and sun-ripened tomatoes, drizzled with organic, cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil, alongside traditional spreads and handpicked olives.
- The Main Course: Served fresh in the shaded dining cockpit of our catamaran or the intimate deck of our sailing yacht, guests enjoy premium local dishes.
From perfectly seasoned Mediterranean seafood and fresh pasta to traditional, slow-baked regional specialities, our menus focus on clean, vibrant flavors.
- The Wine Pairings: No high-end meal in Greece is complete without local wine.
We proudly serve hand-selected labels from the neighboring Nemea region—one of Europe’s oldest and most prestigious wine valleys. Enjoy crisp, aromatic whites and smooth roses that perfectly complement the sea breeze.
Unmatched Comfort While You Dine
Dining at sea requires space and stability.
Our spacious catamaran provides a steady, wide platform with large outdoor dining tables where your group can sit together comfortably without any tilting.
If you choose a classic monohull sailing cruise, anchoring in a perfectly flat, wind-protected cove near Romvi or Daskalio islands ensures that your lunch is enjoyed in absolute peace and isolation.
After your multi-course meal, enjoy seasonal fresh fruits and traditional sweets while lounging on the sunbeds, reflecting on a day where all your senses were fully pampered by Nafplio Sun Sail.
FAQs
Is the full meal freshly prepared on board or pre-made?
Our food is handled with meticulous care. To ensure absolute freshness and food safety under the summer sun, our ingredients are sourced and prepped freshly every morning. The final assembly, cooking tweaks, and presentation are completed right inside the high-end galleys (kitchens) of our catamaran and sailing yacht by our dedicated crew, ensuring your lunch arrives on deck vibrant, fresh, and beautifully plated.
Can you accommodate specific dietary restrictions like vegan, gluten-free, or allergies?
Absolutely. We take dietary needs very seriously. Whether you or your guests require vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free options, or have specific life-threatening food allergies, our team can fully customize the menu. We simply ask that you notify us of these requirements through Nafplio Sun Sail during the booking process so our crew can prepare alternative dishes.
Are the full meal and alcohol selection included in the initial booking price?
Yes, transparency is a core part of our premium hospitality. Unlike standard charters that surprise you with extra fees for food and drinks at the harbor, our semi-private and private sailing or catamaran day cruises are fully all-inclusive. The full multi-course lunch, fresh fruits, soft drinks, beers, and premium local Nemean wines are included in your booking with zero hidden charges.
