The experience
What a Week on Makani Looks Like
A guided catamaran week for kiteboarders, wing foilers, and their guests.
Wake up on the water, ride by day, anchor in beautiful places by night.
We chase the best wind and conditions every single day.
Some of the best spots in the Cyclades are only reachable by boat.
A week of riding, swimming, eating well, and doing it all over again.
Harris and Akis handle everything: routing, meals, safety, and the whole week.
Built for riders, but the whole group will love it.
Private cabins, shared decks, and the sea always within reach.
Evenings in island towns, local food, and the quiet of the Cyclades.
Start your session directly from the boat.
The Meltemi wind and the Cyclades islands, a combination that's hard to beat.
Seven nights, trip weeks from May through early October 2026.
What guests say
Words From Past Guests
3 guest stories below · riders from Italy, Germany, and California
Chasing the wind in different spots everyday, launching directly from the catamaran and the maximum of relaxation for your soul on windless days while discovering hidden beaches and bays. Boat life is a simple life, being one with the elements all day long and living the most passionate version of yourself. The ambience and vibes on the Makani are unique also thanks to their amazing crew. Something difficult to describe but something you have to experience... I haven't been that relaxed and at inner peace in a long time. Thanks to my crew for making it extra special and for having me!
Our yearly week on the Makani has become my favourite tradition and its surely the week of the year that I always look forward to the most. It's like a luxury apartment on the water, that is going to some of the best kite spots in the world. Harris and Akis are the best hosts one could imagine and create an atmosphere that is second to none. I can't recommend this trip enough and can't wait for this summer when we get back to the land of Meltemi, Feta and flat water!
Came out with a crew of friends from Tahoe and honestly, it's hard to beat. You're riding with your people every day, hitting a new spot each morning, then swimming, eating, and swapping stories on deck until sunset. The kiting was incredible - but what made the trip was doing it all together. Harris and Akis made us feel at home from day one.

Everything Else You Might Want To Know
Quick answers before you book a call.
What does fully guided mean?
Makani is designed so guests can relax into the experience. The crew takes care of routing, weather decisions, anchoring, safety, meals, and the daily flow of the trip.
What kind of rider is this best suited to?
Makani is best suited to riders who are already comfortable on the water and want access to quality conditions, guided spot choice, and a week built around wind, islands, and life on the boat. Beginner lessons are not part of the trip.
Can non-kiting or non-winging partners join?
Yes. Non-riding guests are absolutely welcome, and many love the trip for the sailing, swimming, beautiful anchorages, island visits, and the overall experience of living on the catamaran.
Where does the trip start?
Trips begin in Paros, which makes an ideal starting point for exploring the central Cyclades. You can fly to Paros from Athens or fly to Mykonos and take a short ferry to Paros.
What is the route?
The itinerary stays flexible and is shaped by the wind and sea state. That freedom is part of what makes the experience special.
What is included?
Accommodation on the catamaran, crew, meals on board, fuel, port fees, cleaning, Wi-Fi, SUP boards, snorkeling gear, and the fully guided experience are all included. Gear rental can be arranged on request.
Can I bring my own gear?
Yes. Guests are welcome to travel with their own equipment, and rentals may also be available depending on what you need.
Can I book a cabin or the whole boat?
Both options are possible. You can enquire about individual cabins or private group bookings, depending on availability.
What is life on board like?
Expect a relaxed rhythm of riding, meals on deck, swim stops, time to unwind, and evenings in beautiful places. It is active, easy, and deeply connected to the sea.
How do I know if this is the right fit?
The best next step is to get in touch. We keep things personal and are happy to answer questions, talk through the experience, and help you decide if Makani is right for you.
