Flotilla Yacht Charter

Join a ‘mini flotilla’ with around 6 other boats and a ‘lead’ boat you sail your own yacht with the backup of an experienced and knowledgeable lead skipper and crew who provide local knowledge and weather updates and help you moor up safely each evening. The small flotilla allows you to sail at your own pace arriving in each chosen port when you wish. Once in port, the evenings are your own - socialise with others in the group, or spend time with your family or friends the choice is yours.

Assisted Bareboat Sailing

Assisted bareboat sailing lets you enjoy the freedom to sail your own yacht with a little extra support and assistance from an Island Sailing skipper at the start of your holiday. Assisted bareboat sailing is a great option if you want to progress to full bareboat sailing in the Greek Ionian but need a little bit more support at first to do it. Great for less experienced sailors looking to develop or for those a little rusty to get a confidence boost or to fine tune their yachting skills.
