The Alchemy of Connection:
How We Met and Why We Unite
Our collaboration is a fusion of two worlds: the seasoned team-spirit sailing expertise of Martin and the innovative leadership coaching of Diana. When Martin posted about one of his upcoming sailing trips, the concept of ‘team-spirit’ caught Diana’s attention. She reached out to Martin, and from that moment, it was clear that their paths were destined to cross.
Martin had always been on the lookout for a collaboration with a leadership coach, and Diana, a Mindset Innovator, had always dreamed of merging her passions for sailing and coaching. With extensive sailing experience, including crossing two oceans and living aboard for over seven months, Diana has gained profound insights into herself and, most importantly, leadership skills. This unique perspective is what she brings to our collaboration.
Together, we realized that we could create something extraordinary. Our combined experiences and passions allow us to offer interactive activities that challenge and inspire, unlocking new levels of personal and professional growth. We are here to add more value for others, creating a journey that is as enriching as it is transformative.

Where?
Starting from Europe’s cultural capital, Athens (ATH), we will embark on an unforgettable journey through the Saronic Gulf, dotted with its many enchanting islands. In the serene post-summer season, we can expect mild weather and fewer tourists, allowing us to enjoy the bays of Salamina, Egina, Methana, Poros, and Hydra in near total privacy.
Each day, we will set sail for a new destination, immersing ourselves in the beauty of the sea and the charm of local towns, villages, and cultural sites of Greece. Imagine exploring hidden coves, ancient ruins, and vibrant markets, all while forging deeper connections with yourself and others.

Martin Merenyi,
Skipper
Martin is a former Sound engineer and Acoustician holding a BSc and MSc in the subjects. In a career spanning 15 years, he worked on multiple Nr.1 records, Amazon and Netflix TV shows, as well as feature films for Bollywood. His life, however, took a sharp turn after a faithful encounter on a December Saturday morning.
Over coffee with a good friend he was introduced to Sergy, who would become his sailing instructor starting the very next day. After a lot of theory and a week at sea he knew that this would be his new life. He jumped head first into it and has not left the sea since!
With a fresh license in his hand and a recently terminated work contract, he sailed the Canaries, Caribbeans, Mediterraneans and Seychelles in his first year as a skipper. However, there is a lot more to explore and he is extremely excited to show you a world and a life beyond the ordinary. All from board of sailing yachts and catamarans!
For Martin sailing is all about the people! When on the boat, we eat together, cook together and sail together, developing strong personal bonds over the course of our adventure - which is why he decided to call his business Team Spirit Sailing!
Martin's story is a clear example how quickly you can turn your life to a radically new direction:
by saying "Yes 2 Life" on that December Saturday morning. Will you?

FAQ:
Once you have confirmed your trip by making the payment, we will invite you to a private WhatsApp group where you can talk to us, the organisers, but also other guests so you can organise shared airport transfer and accommodation if you arrive the day before the trip. You will also receive a detailed PDF once you confirmed your booking with additional information.
• What to pack?
We are expecting mild weather, the last rays of summer. Please pack lightly, only necessary amounts of underwear and t-shirts/tops. We recommend one pair of shorts and one pair of long trousers for when the evenings get colder. We also recommend a wind and waterproof jacket and a scarf/hat for the windy days.
• What's the weather like in October?
We expect mild late summer weather, but it can become quite unpredictable in the Mediterranean Sea. We expect an average 22-24 degrees and little to no rain.
• What will we eat during the week?
Before the trip we will send out a questionnaire about everyones dietary preferences. Our private chef will prepare breakfast and lunch snacks accordingly every day, as well as 2-3 dinners on board. We will also have the opportunity to eat on land in local cafés and restaurants. Meals on board are included in the price, but meals on land are paid individually. Please note that host, skipper and chef are traditionally invited by the crew for meals on land.
• Meeting place and time?
Ideally you will arrive to Athens a day before we board the yacht, so on the 18th of October. This is to ensure you don't miss anything because of a delayed or cancelled flight. If you'd like to arrive on the 19th, then we will meet in a café near the marina no later than 4pm. We will have a meet and greet with the whole crew, welcome drinks and also some fun exercises to get into the mood of the week.
• Airport transfer?
Airport transfer is everyone's own responsibility, but we are happy to help you organise it. A one way taxi from the airport to the marina costs €50.
• What additional expenses can I expect?
Your additional expenses will consist only of airport transfer and meals on land, as well as souvenirs and rentals/activities not included in the program. Greece has a lot to offer in terms of local cuisine, sightseeing and historical monuments.
• Is previous sailing experience required?
Previous sailing experience is NOT required for this trip. As a matter of fact, this is the perfect opportunity for newcomers to experience the freedom of sailing. We will be aboard spacious and stable catamarans, you will feel like being on a floating house. Catamarans don't heel, so you will have a lot of comfort all the way throughout the trip. Sea sickness is also rare on catamarans.
• Should I worry about sea sickness?
We will be sailing in the Mediterranean Sea in a well protected bay, where waves will be minimal as long as we have good weather. Also, since catamarans are very stable, sea sickness occurs very rarely. We will guide you through the methods to avoid sea sickness if you are more sensitive to it, and we will also have very good sea sickness medicine on board that can help you if needed.
• What kind of boat will we have?
We will sail on large, modern Lagoon and/or Bali catamarans. These boats are well known and are the pinnacle of leisure catamaran design, with excellent equipment, facilities and levels of comfort. We will have new models to ensure that they are well maintained, comfortable, and safe. However, please be aware that a boat will always be different from a hotel. Please don't expect silk bed sheets, marble bathrooms and fountains on board. The cabins, while spacious for boat standards, will be smaller than a comparable hotel room, and the bathrooms are also a bit tighter. However, this has never been a problem, and what we get in return is the ultimate freedom and sense of adventure for a whole week. And, most importantly, the sea will always be just one step away for us!
