How do you choose what type of sailing holiday?

 

Read our short guide below and get all the information you need to make a decision.

 

For those new to sailing holidays but who are keen to experience something new, indulge in a truly relaxing Skippered Charter with your family or group of friends. Or perhaps learn to sail with some RYA Training. Learning to sail is a great fun, active, hands-on sailing holiday, and you can gain a sailing qualification at the same time. We run RYA sailing courses for solo individuals or for families and groups, and kids can learn too!

If you are already qualified then a Bareboat Charter boat is perfect for you. Our option of Assisted Sailing is great for those who hold a certificate but need to refresh some skills with a skipper for a day or two.

If you are sailing with us in high season, consider joining our sociable Informal Flotilla.  Providing daily mooring assistance and expert tips on the secluded harbors and bays. Greece flotilla holidays are a very popular choice taking the stress out of finding a berth in the summer months!

Many of our luxury yachts have air conditioning so you can stay cool below decks!

Are you planning a group holiday? Check out our Private Flotilla option!

Experience the magic of Ionian sailing holidays with Sail Ionian and explore the enchanting Ionian Sea, one of Greece’s most celebrated sailing destinations. With its tranquil turquoise waters, gentle breezes, and a tapestry of lush islands, the Ionian offers an idyllic escape for sailors of all levels.

The Ionian Sea is renowned for its calm waters and predictable winds, making it perfect for families, couples, and first-time sailors. It’s an island hopping paradise where you can visit iconic islands such as Lefkada, Kefalonia, and Ithaca, each boasting unique charm, vibrant culture, and stunning natural beauty. Along the way, discover ancient ruins, Venetian harbors, and traditional fishing villages that offer a glimpse into Greece’s rich history and hospitality.

At Sail Ionian, we are passionate about unforgettable sailing holidays. Choose from our fleet of modern yachts and catamarans, available for both skippered and bareboat charters or learn to sail with our RYA Sea School. Our experienced team provides route planning, local tips, and round-the-clock support to ensure a sensational adventure.

During your Ionian adventure, you can swim in secluded bays and relax on sun-kissed beaches, savor authentic Greek cuisine at charming waterfront tavernas, and enjoy breathtaking sunsets from the comfort of your private yacht. Create lasting memories as you explore hidden gems and lively coastal towns.
