Flotilla Sailing Holidays

Sail at your own pace with the reassurance of being part of a group with the backup of an experienced and knowledgeable lead crew. A flotilla is the perfect way for families, couples and groups of friends to discover secluded bays and coves, breathtaking scenery and pretty villages in the Ionian sunshine.

Skippered Yacht Charter
Skippered yacht charters are ideal for those with little or no experience of sailing yachts and for people who want to just sit back and relax on their yacht charter holiday.

If you want to learn to sail your skipper can give informal and relaxed tuition.  You can do as much or as little sailing as you like on your own small private yacht and enjoy your Greek island holiday with plenty of time to swim and relax.

Ionian Sailing Courses
The warm, calm Ionian waters of Greece are the perfect place to learn to sail or improve your sailing skills with expert tuition from friendly, experienced RYA instructors. RYA courses are available for those new to sailing as well as more experienced sailors. Charter a yacht from Lefkas marina from April through to November and have an instructor on board to teach one or more RYA courses – a great way to combine a holiday and sailing course for friends or family. After the course you can progress to skipper the yacht in a flotilla or bareboat yacht charter.
