THE race
The AEGEAN 600 is Greece’s most legendary offshore regatta – 605 nautical miles non-stop through the mythical Aegean Sea. Organised by the Hellenic Offshore Racing Club, the race is Category 2 offshore and takes you past the Cyclades, Santorini, Rhodes and Mykonos, back to the Temple of Poseidon in Sounio. Wind conditions of over 45 knots are possible. A race that uniquely combines seafaring, mythology and offshore sport. More details are available directly on the event website.
Whether you’re getting your first offshore experience or you’re an experienced bluewater sailor – the AEGEAN 600 demands it all: navigation, tactics, teamwork and mental strength.
Join in – solo or with your whole crew.
Optional: combine with delivery legs Punat <-> Corfu and Corfu <-> Lavrio.

Frequently asked questions
The race is a Category 2 offshore regatta. We recommend experience in offshore sailing or comparable bluewater trips. Our professional skippers coach you before and during the race, making it possible for less experienced sailors to get into offshore sailing too.
Category 2 means the boat and equipment are designed for longer offshore passages with the possibility of strong winds (over 40 knots). Lifejackets, PLBs, tethers, safety equipment and communication devices are mandatory and included with us.
With a single berth, you sail as a crew member on one of our yachts – ideal if you want to sail in a team with experienced sailors. The whole boat can be booked exclusively for your own crew, with all services included, including berth and offshore equipment.
Relevant for bookings of a whole boat
As a Category 2 offshore race, the following requirements apply: At least 30% of the crew need safety training (no older than 5 years). At least one person must have first-aid experience. Another person must provide a valid first-aid certificate (also max. 5 years old). We’ll help you clarify all safety requirements in advance.
