An Ionian flotilla through green islands and protected waters

Discover the timeless allure of the Ionian, a perennial favourite among sailors for good reason. Its gentle breezes, secure anchorages and shimmering waters also create the perfect setting for an unforgettable Ionian flotilla holiday. Whether you’re a novice sailor looking for calm waters or a seasoned seafarer craving relaxation, the Ionian’s protected waters cater to all.

Our Lefkas flotilla sailing holidays start from Nikiana harbour, on the east coast of the island, and finish there too. From there, the routes take in must-visit destinations such as Meganisi, Kefalonia and Ithaca, as well as charming smaller islands and mainland villages.

Each stop also has its own character: the cosmopolitan feel of Fiskardo, the traditional atmosphere of Lefkas, the tranquillity of Kastos and the picturesque bays of Meganisi. So whatever you enjoy most, the Ionian has it.

How the Lefkas flotilla week works

  • Flotillas run Sunday to Sunday
  • Yachts are ready by 17:00 on day one; you disembark at around 09:00 on the last day
  • Seafarer transfers from Preveza airport take around 30 minutes

Not included: mooring charges (except at the flotilla base), canal fees, extra fuel or water, food and drinks, and personal items such as laundry. For sail and stay holidays, transfers from the yacht base to your accommodation are usually excluded and payable locally, unless you book a flight-inclusive package.

Travel

Getting to the Lefkas flotilla

There are plenty of ways to reach our base in Nikiana, whether you’re joining us for a week or combining the Ionian flotilla with a longer trip. We’re in Nikiana harbour, right in the heart of the village, so it’s easy to reach by public or private transport. Seafarer flotillas in the Ionian run Sunday to Sunday: yachts are usually ready to board by 17:00 on the first day, and you then disembark at around 09:00 at the end of the flotilla.

Where is Lefkas, and which airport do I fly to?

Lefkas (also called Lefkada) is an island in the Ionian Sea, just off the west coast of mainland Greece. It has no airport of its own, so you fly to Preveza (Aktion) airport, code PVK: Sunday charter flights leave from Gatwick, and there are scheduled flights from Heathrow, Stansted, Luton, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester and Edinburgh. Seafarer transfers from the airport to our base in Nikiana harbour take around 30 minutes. Getting to the Lefkas flotilla.

What is the Lefkas sailing itinerary?

The flotilla sails two routes from Nikiana in alternate weeks: odd weeks sail the Ithaca route (Syvota, Fiskardo, Frikes and Spartochori, about 54 nautical miles) and even weeks the Lefkas route (Vathi, Palairos, Kalamos and Port Leone, about 53 nautical miles). An average day is around 10 nautical miles, and you can combine both routes into a two-week holiday. See both routes day by day.

How much does the Ionian flotilla cost?

Yacht prices start from £1,684 for one week (Bavaria 33, 9 May 2027), and two-week holidays are priced in the same tables. Prices are per yacht, so the cost per person depends on how many of you share it, and they change with the date and the yacht: see every date and price. Optional extras (2026 prices; 2027 to be confirmed) include a skipper (£1,495 per week), a host (£945 per week) and a stand-up paddleboard (£100 per week).

What is included?

Your fully equipped charter yacht, help from the lead crew, one full tank of fuel, a dinghy and outboard, bed linen and towels, end cleaning, area cruising notes, a welcome pack and the weekly punch party (plus a beach party for two-week guests). Not included: mooring charges away from the flotilla base, canal fees, extra fuel or water, food and drinks, and personal items such as laundry. What’s included and optional extras.

When is the sailing season, and what is the weather like?

The Lefkas flotilla sails from May to October. Average daytime highs are around 24°C in May, rising to 31 to 32°C in July and August; winds are generally moderate, between force 2 and 5; and the sea is around 20°C in May, around 26°C in August and still around 24°C in late September and early October.

Do I need sailing experience?

The skipper of each yacht should hold an ICC (International Certificate of Competence) or equivalent: the RYA Day Skipper Practical course makes you eligible, and we can arrange the ICC assessment. If you have no previous sailing experience, we can provide a skipper (ask us for the 2027 price), and you still get all the benefits of sailing with the flotilla (skippered flotilla sailing). You can also see all our sailing holidays, including beach clubs and RYA sailing courses.

Can I combine the flotilla with a beach club?

Yes. Nikiana Beach Club is right here in Nikiana: small and friendly, with dinghy sailing, windsurfing and other watersports, so it is ideal for a week before or after your flotilla week. Prices start at £595pp for a week Includes flights + accommodation with flights from London. Discover Nikiana Beach Club.

How do I book?

Pick your yacht and dates in the price tables and ask for a quote, or call our team on 020 8324 3118 (Monday to Friday 09:00 to 19:00, Saturday 09:30 to 17:00) or email info@seafarerholidays.com. We will come back to you with availability and prices for your party.
