Flotilla sailing in the Ionian in greece

In Greece the main area that we concentrate on is in the Ionian, although other areas are available. From here we offer a selection of bareboats, of all ages and prices, ranging from 27 to 50 ft and these yachts are available to cruise the area between Zakintos and Corfu. Any of these yachts can also be taken as a skippered yacht, or combined with a weeks accommodation ashore to make a combined package.

In the Ionian we offer Assisted Bareboat Charters based from Lefkas and sailing in the Southern Ionian. This programme consists of sourcing yachts, usually up to six, from a number of different bareboat suppliers, but then arranging for them to join Assisted Bareboat Charters for a small additional fee. This then effectively creates a mini-flotilla, from a large choice of yachts from different providers, offering the key elements of support of a standard flotilla, without the disadvantages of possibly a limited selection of yachts, or of being part of too large a group. This option should appeal both to first-timers to the Ionian, as well as more experienced sailors. This programme will particularly appeal to those wanting the freedom of Bareboat charter, while still having assistance when arriving in port in the evenings. Anybody familiar with this area will know that the best winds in the Ionian are in the mid to late afternoon, but there is an increasing tendency to have to get into the more popular ports earlier in order to moor up. With ABC there will be no problem if you choose to remain out later enjoying your sailing. Of course the later you arrive the less chance there is of finding an empty place on the quay, so this is where being part of a small group led by someone with local knowledge of where you can raft up safely, and use your dinghy to come ashore, will be appreciated by even the most experienced skippers. In the evenings you will then be left totally free to do your own thing and will not be put under any pressure to mix with other crews, unless you want to. Group meals etc will only be arranged if a particular group requests it. The lead yacht for this programme will always be a skippered charter yacht, so this is also a very good way for families or groups without enough experience to skipper a yacht themselves to participate in this kind of holiday. On certain dates this lead yacht will also cater for singles or couples who will then be mixed with others to make up the crew.
