Discover the route to the Ionian Sea
Sailing in the Ionian Sea will give you the chance to discover the western side of Greece, with the popular Ionian islands which are very popular for their green landscape and picturesque beaches with crystal blue waters.
Depending on the base of departure, you will have the chance to sail around Corfu, Lefkas, Ithaka, Zante or Kefallonia on a one-week sailing trip. If you sail from Kefallonia or Lefkas, make sure you plan to visit the beautiful bays in Atokos, Kalamos and Kastos, Porto Katsiki with its wonderful blue waters as well as popular Fiscardo on the northern part of Kefallonia and Kioni in Ithaka. Also, you have the option to travel south and discover Zante and its beautiful beaches, with the most famous one being Navagio. .
If you sail from Corfu, Paxi –Antipaxi and Parga will amaze you with their gorgeous bays, before you head south to explore Lefkas. On a two-week trip you will have the chance to sail around all the Ionian islands.
You have the chance to discover the Ionian islands at your own pace. We will be happy to help you plan the itinerary that will best fit your travel requirements.
BAREBOAT OPTION
Bareboat sailing or independent yacht charter is about hiring of a boat without the assistance of a skipper or other crew. It is the most popular choice for families or groups of friends for those who have experience and are qualified with a sailing certificate. Sailing independently means you can plan your own route and enjoy small bays and harbors inaccessible to large tourist boats or crews sailing as part of a flotilla. However, you will need to be suitably skilled and experienced to handle the size and type of yacht selected to ensure you have the best trip possible!
We will help you plan the best route for your holidays by proposing special bays and harbors to visit.
SKIPPERED OPTION
If you don’t have the necessary experience or sailing certificate, but still want to explore the Ionian islands with your own pace and preferences, then a skippered option is best for you. Our friendly skipper will encourage you to take an active part in your holiday if you desire to do so or you can simply relax and be sailed around!
You, your friends and family can get involved as much or as little as you like - it is a great activity holiday for all the family. Our skipper will have the responsibility for the boat and you will have the outmost enjoyment of a sailing trip.
ONE-DAY TRIPS
If you don't have the time to rent a yacht for a week but still want to visit some of those incredible island beaches that are only accessible by boat, then our one day option is the perfect solution!
You can book the boat for one-day trips around the area or a couple of days to enjoy the surrounding beaches or a quick visit to a nearby island.
SPECIAL EVENTS
Celebrating special events in a sailing boat with you loved ones makes it even more special. If you are looking for a romantic getaway or a day at sea celebrating a special event, birthday party, honeymoon cruise or wedding anniversary, we can make it all true for you.
You can celebrate in outmost luxury. Feel free to request catering facilities or other arrangements that will make your day even more special.
COMPANIES AND BUSINESSES
Team-building sailing trips can help remind people that work is never just about them—it’s about the entire group. By its very nature, sailing is all about teamwork. With the wind blowing and shifting, the team comes together in a combined effort to navigate the boat through the water.
Each individual has an important part to play to make the sailing trip successful, while the team is only as strong as its weakest link. When you’re encouraged to do something together, rather than solo, it brings to life the idea that the group’s success (and ultimately the company’s) should be a priority.
