020 8324 3118 Get a quoteOn a flotilla you skipper your own yacht, sailing in company with a small group of other yachts, while a Seafarer lead crew briefs and helps you every day. Days are short and relaxed: on our Ionian Lefkas Flotilla, for example, a typical day is around 10 nautical miles. On our Corinth Canal & Saronic Gulf Flotilla, you sail through the Corinth Canal every week.
Not always. Beach clubs, skippered sailing holidays, shared sailing cabins and RYA sailing courses need no previous experience. To skipper your own yacht on a flotilla or a bareboat charter, someone in your party needs to be able to skipper a yacht; if that is not you yet, a skippered holiday or an RYA course is the place to start.
It depends on the holiday, the dates and the yacht. As a guide: flotillas from £1,684 per yacht for a week (Ionian Lefkas Flotilla), shared sailing cabins from £945 pp for a week (AHOY: Adventures in the Ionian), and beach clubs from £595 pp Includes flights + accommodation (Nikiana Beach Club). Every holiday page shows its full price tables and current special offers.
You choose. We can include flights from the UK, and flight-inclusive holidays are ATOL protected (ATOL licence 9511). If you arrange your own flights, your holiday is protected through our ABTOT membership (member 5660).
In Greece and Turkey our weekly flotillas sail from May to October, and in Croatia from May to late September, with explorer flotillas early and late in the season, such as the Messolonghi to Korfos Explorer in April. For winter sun, our Thailand flotilla sails from January to April and the British Virgin Islands explorer in February.
Yes to both. Many of our guests travel solo (sailing holidays for singles), and families are welcome on flotillas and at our beach clubs; at Nikiana Beach Club the kids’ clubs are free in the school holidays (family sailing holidays).
