Assisted Bareboat Sailing

Assisted bareboat charter sailing holidays are a great option for less experienced sailors looking to learn how to sail better or for those a little rusty to brush up on and fine tune their skills.

For couples, groups or families with inexperienced crew aboard this is an excellent way to learn and develop with the tuition of an experienced skipper.  Assisted bareboat sailing is also a popular option for sailors who benefit from the safety net of having an extra experienced sailor on board at the start of their holiday whilst they unwind and get used to the boat and the Ionian sailing area.

Your Island Sailing skipper is with you on an open ended basis for the first days of your yachting holiday and can leave the boat each evening after ensuring you are moored safely. With an assisting skipper you have the flexibility to arrive and leave each destination as early or late as you wish and can take advantage of their local knowledge of the Greek Ionian sailing area to visit all the best ports, bays and tavernas. In most cases your skipper will leave the yacht safe and secure in the evenings to give you the chance to relax with your family and friends. 

Having an assisted skipper is a fantastic way to combine your Greek island sailing holiday with the opportunity to learn new skills and gain experience and confidence in a relaxed informal setting. The aim of an assisting skipper is to give you and your crew the confidence to sail bareboat without the need for a flotilla.

If you hold the relevant qualifications but have a less experienced crew an assisting skipper can help to teach your party Mediterranean mooring techniques, yacht safety and sailing skills as a team. You chose to keep your skipper for as little or long as you need.

You progress to bareboat yacht charter when you feel you are ready with the peace of mind that you have 24/7 back up and support from Island Sailing throughout your Greek Ionian holiday. Once the skipper leaves your yacht you and your crew will be happy and confident to sail safely together bareboat around the beautiful Ionian Islands.
