With a fantastic range of catamarans available, including the Dragoon, Hobie 15, Hobie 16, Hobie Tiger, and Tornado, you're set for personalized coaching that enhances your skills.

Beyond the excitement of sailing, Vassiliki offers a vibrant holiday atmosphere with the best après-sailing scene, ensuring your trip is both adventurous and relaxing.

TESTIMONIALS

Customer stories

In September, I had a sailing lesson with Joe to improve my helming in cross-shore conditions, especially from the trapeze, which I hadn’t practiced much due to the lighter winds in Vassiliki.

I was nervous at first since Joe from Joyrider TV is a legend, but I quickly felt comfortable on the water. Joe gave me valuable tips for an hour, focusing on steering from the trapeze, reading the course, and boosting speed. His advice helped me gain confidence in strong wind sailing.

Joe’s tip: practice flying the hull more. I'll definitely book another lesson next holiday!

This summer, in July 2024, I had the immense pleasure of sailing with TotalJoyrider Joe at Wildwind in Vasiliki.

If you're looking to enhance your sailing skills with a perfect blend of humor and expertise, Joe is your go-to person!

From the moment you meet him, Joe makes you feel at ease, whether you're a novice or a seasoned catamaran sailor. Joe's teaching style is exceptional, ensuring you learn and improve your skills in helming, trapezing, or even "pushing the machine to its limits."

Despite Murphy's Law seemingly following us on our sailing adventures, Joe's calm demeanor and sense of humor never wavered. During our session, we unfortunately lost the mast of the C2. As any cat sailor knows, these things can happen. However, Joe's composed and reassuring presence made the situation manageable.

Even though I had faced a similar incident 20 years ago when I began cat sailing on the Belgian coast, I still learned valuable lessons from Joe on how to handle such situations.Joe's expertise and approachability make him an outstanding instructor. I highly recommend sailing with him if you want to take your skills to the next level while having a great time!

Sailing with Joe is a once in a lifetime opportunity. There is no quicker way to improve your general sailing or racing skills other than spending some productive time on the water with Joe. His attention to detail and technique make all the difference. A great value that I would highly recommend to anyone who is serious about quickly improving their sailing regardless of your current level.

During my holiday at Wildwind I had Joe coach me on the Hobie 16 as I was new to Catamarans. The experience was amazing as Joe is so passionate about Cats and so knowledgeable. His coaching style is excellent with really precise and timely intervention, meaning I made a ton of progress in a short time. Catamarans are amazing boats, and if you’ve got the urge to ‘send it’ then Joe Bennett is the guy to show you how.

Can’t recommend him highly enough!

I booked five coaching sessions (each 60 minutes) with Joe to address and improve my personal sailing skill set in "stronger wind" conditions.

After setting my personal goals, Joe quickly analyzed my current skills, identifying gaps and areas for improvement within the first few minutes on the catamaran. He gave clear advice and shared useful tips and tricks. The atmosphere on the boat was "typically British"—relaxed yet focused on achieving my goals.

If you want to improve your sailing skills quickly, I highly recommend private coaching sessions with Joe. There’s no better way or option!

I’ve been watching Joyrider TV videos on YouTube for over 5 years now. Both the instructional and sailing videos with commentary are extremely informative. Recently, I had the pleasure of taking one of Joe’s coaching session. The on the water, in-person, session was fantastic. Joe created at wonderful atmosphere with his great personality and teaching style. I learned a ton. I felt like this lessened my learning curve and speeded up my boat handling skills while gaining more confidence. Having instant feedback from Joe, while on my boat, during tacking and jibing maneuvers was a game changer for me compared to watching the videos online. I highly recommend a sailing lesson with Joe if you want to advance your sailing career to the next level.
