Our Team

Our staff are friendly & professional

Our Ethos

We value excellent customer service above all else and the standard of our Sail Ionian team reflects this commitment.

Our staff are the people you speak to at the Boat Shows, on the telephone and on email when you book your holiday. The same people will greet you when you arrive in Greece.

We only hire highly qualified and experienced skippers and engineers who all take great pride in our work.
