August is the most popular time to explore the Ionian Islands — warm, clear seas, steady afternoon breezes, and sun-filled days made for swimming and sailing. To help you enjoy this peak season with total confidence, we’ve created our August Sailing Assurance.
Designed specially for high-summer sailing when the area is busy, this package removes the usual uncertainties of peak season and makes planning your Ionian adventure simple, relaxed, and completely stress-free.
Wednesday start dates come with distinct advantages in peak season —choose a classic 7-night charter or extend the escape with a 10-day holiday for more relaxed sailing.
Midweek departures often come with noticeably better-value flights, and you’ll also find popular harbours like Fiscardo and Kioni are calmer when you visit at the weekend as most charter fleets are changing over so boats are back at base.
🧭 Personalised route planning — tap into local knowledge to see the best of the Ionian while avoiding the busiest hotspots, with pre-booked pontoon mooring where possible.
⚓ Free pre-booked 1st & 2nd night berths (with mooring assistance) — arrive, settle in, and start your holiday stress-free while the team helps you get comfortably moored.
👨✈️ Assisted sailing with a skipper (if required) — add a skipper for a day or two to build confidence, refresh skills, or support a mixed-experience crew.
🚤 Sail on your day of arrival — maximise time on the water with help to get you underway as soon as you’re ready.
⛵ Optional informal flotilla support (rest of the week) — enjoy independent sailing during the day with friendly in-harbour support each evening, if you’d like it (extra charge applies).
❄️ Solar‑battery air-conditioned yacht — stay cool and comfortable, even at anchor, with eco-powered air conditioning for warm Ionian nights.
🗓️ New: mid‑week 10‑day charters — available for the first time, giving more flexibility and a longer escape.
✈️ Optional Wednesday start/finish — build a 10‑day itinerary around potentially cheaper flight options.
