A bareboat yacht charter from Lefkas gives qualified sailors the freedom to skipper their own yacht and explore the Ionian Islands at their own pace. Choose your route, anchor in quiet bays and visit a different harbour each evening.
Our friendly team is based in Greece and knows the yachts and sailing area first-hand. We provide a carefully maintained modern fleet, a detailed yacht handover, route-planning advice, daily weather forecasts sent by SMS and responsive support throughout your holiday.
During the week, our telephone concierge service is available to help you decide where to moor, taking account of your route, preferences and the conditions. This is practical local advice rather than a berth-reservation service, so you retain the freedom of a bareboat holiday with extra reassurance when you need it.
Choose from sailing yachts and catamarans in a range of sizes, including many air-conditioned models, to suit couples, families and larger crews.
Check out the yacht rental added value features in our blog to get the most out of your sailing holidays in Greece!

To bareboat charter in Greece at least one person in your party must be qualified and experienced enough to handle the yacht safely and competently. A minimum level requirement is RYA Day Skipper or an ICC for sail. You can read more on Accepted Qualifications here.
You will be fully briefed on the yacht during your boat handover and given advice on the highlights of the sailing area prior to your departure with our route planning service.
We offer free stern-to mooring practice on the first morning and send the weather forecast to you by SMS each day. Throughout the week, our telephone concierge service can offer local advice on suitable places to moor based on your route, preferences and the conditions. The service provides guidance rather than reserved berths, giving you extra reassurance without taking away the independence of a bareboat holiday.
We have a 24-hour emergency contact number. In case of any emergencies, our team are able to reach anywhere in the immediate sailing area rapidly, with our 350hp RIB called 'Rodney'.
If you would like more support we offer an Assisted Sailing programme, where we provide a skipper for the first day or two of your bareboat charter in Greece.
