Sailing Alone to Santorini, Greece | My First Solo Night Passage

This was my first time sailing completely alone, overnight, across open sea—94 nautical miles from Chania to Santorini, Greece. I departed after dark to ensure a daylight arrival, navigating shifting winds, rough swells, and long stretches of stillness. What started as a sailing mission became a personal rite of passage. In this video: I prepare and depart from Chania, Crete I sail solo overnight across the Aegean Sea I reflect on solitude, spiritual stillness, and modern isolation I anchor inside the caldera of a volcano (Santorini) I explore what it means to be truly alone at sea This was the longest single-handed sail I’ve ever done—and a night I won’t forget. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be alone on a boat in the middle of the ocean at night, I tried to capture that feeling as honestly as I could.
