TAISA | 2004

Best for: families with children, with adventurous couples a close second.

TAISA is a Moody sailing yacht built in 2004, and the standout aboard is the twin cabin with upper and lower berths, purpose-made for children, alongside a master cabin and a double, accommodating up to six guests across three en-suite cabins. She sails the Greek islands with a two-person crew: Captain Nikos Alexis, who has spent six years at TAISA's helm with over a decade in the Eastern Mediterranean, holds a Master of Yachts 500GT and is an RYA-approved sailing instructor, meaning he can teach younger or newer sailors as you go. Cook and stewardess Zeyneep Nurdan specialises in Greek and Turkish cuisine, preparing fresh, home-style Mediterranean meals from local ingredients.

For families, the layout works: children have their own cabin, parents have privacy, and the water toys keep everyone busy at anchor. A centre console tender, Yamaha underwater scooter, SUP, ringo, and snorkelling equipment mean there is always something to do in the water. Nikos brings deep local knowledge of hidden coves and island culture, making TAISA a strong choice for guests who want a genuine Greek islands sailing experience with an attentive crew.
