Bareboat Yacht CharterIf you are a competent sailor and are happy to skipper a bareboat yacht safely on your sailing holiday in the Southern Ionian, we are happy to let you do so! We would expect that at least one person in your party is experienced enough to handle the yacht safely and competently. You will be fully briefed on the yacht and given advice on the sailing area. We send weather text each morning, we are around to help with mooring on the first few nights if required and we have an excellent fast rib and 24hr phone line as a support service. We recommend you charter a similar size yacht to yachts you have skippered previously. Feel free to discuss any questions about bareboat charter with us either by phone or email.

Assisted Yacht CharterAssisted sailing allows anyone who is either new to sailing, nervous about sailing bareboat or just a bit rusty, to practice their skills and learn to sail in Greece with a professional skipper offering one on one personalised instruction. The aim of this scheme is to give people the confidence and essential skills required to skipper/crew a yacht in the South Ionian, without the need for a formal sail training course or flotilla holiday. The most popular boats for this type of tuition are the Mirages, Feelings and smaller Bavarias. For those new to sailing holidays or sailing altogether, this training will cover all the important basics from safety, mooring, sails up and down, man overboard procedures, anchoring in bays etc etc. It is very relaxed teaching at your pace. Also, anyone looking for some coaching can use this option, whether it be to practice the dreaded Mediterranean stern-to mooring or simply refresh the crew on MOB techniques. Whatever you want to learn in Greece we are more than happy to show you. If you are unsure which yacht to choose please email or call us. What is the difference between Assisted Sailing and a Flotilla Holiday? Assisted sailing offers flexibility and a relaxed environment without the need for a skipper to sleep onboard in the evenings. There is no pre-set time for this training, we simply “play it by ear” and see how every one is getting on after each day. We start with training and then let you sail or motor to an agreed rendezvous point, where we will meet you and help you moor the yacht. After a day or two or three, everyone should be confident enough for you to take the boat yourselves and enjoy a bareboat holiday (with support). We have a high speed rib that allows us to get to your location very quickly, and in addition to the radio if required we can provide a mobile telephone advice line. The time that you will need a skipper will vary, depending on how your confidence grows. Articles written by previous clients on assisted sailing holidays. Please see our home page for yacht availability and prices Skippered Yacht CharterFor those of you without experience or looking for a relaxing holiday, we will be pleased to skipper the yacht to wherever you wish, for all or part of your holiday. It is completely up to you how much sailing you learn, how much time you spend lying in the sun and where you end up each evening. The skipper will sleep on board for the week and will need a cabin. Yachts suitable for skippered charter range from our Bavaria 30s for two people to our Bavaria 46s.
