Cabin Charter in the Ionian
Explore the beautiful Ionian islands and the coast of Epirus in the Ionian aboard one of our fully crewed yachts. Booking by the cabin on our “share a sail” program means you enjoy the big boat experience at a fraction of the cost of a full skippered charter. A maximum of 8 like-minded guests have the opportunity to share a fantastic island hopping sailing cruise. You can get involved in the sailing or relax and enjoy the scenery, the choice is yours.
Each new day brings another island to explore
Set sail from Preveza and explore the beautiful islands of Corfu, Paxos, Meganisi, Ithaca and Kefalonia amongst others. Enjoy a swim and lunch in a choice of tranquil bays and evenings exploring before dining in a pretty harbouside taverna. Off the water, explore historic towns, Venetian castles, Byzantine churches and ancient ruins, or simply enjoy one of the most scenic and verdant islands of Greece.
The only way to travel
Our comfortable and well appoimted yachts are ideal for your Ionian sailing adventure, with 4 double cabins, all with en-suite facilities. A maximum of eight guests are on board, together with an experienced, professional crew to look after you. Breakfast and a light lunch is included, to be enjoyed ‘al fresco’ whilst anchored in an idyllic bay. Enjoy a refreshing swim before or after lunch, it’s up to you to decide.
A voyage of discovery
There is nothing better after a day of great sailing, swimming and snorkelling than to relax on deck and enjoy a sun-downer with your fellow sailors, before exploring each new island and harbour. We aim to arrive into harbour in the early afternoon as the towns and villages we visit are well worth exploring, with each having their own character and fascinating history with lots to see. If you are a foodie, this is a great part of Greece, with each island having their own local delicacies to try.
Corfu Route
Fly UK to Preveza and transfer to Preveza town marina for embarkation. Just 15 minutes from the airport, it couldn’t be easier to start your holiday.
Gaios is the main town of Paxos, the island famous for supplying olive oil to Harrods. The bustling town has something for everyone and is well protected by the close lying islands to the east.
Mandraki harbour is the oldest harbour in Corfu, and is situated right beneath the castle walls, a spectacular and convenient location from which to explore the fascinating old town of Corfu, just a few minutes walk away.
A lively little town is our destination this evening, with many great restaurants and bars to choose from for your meal ashore. If weather permits, we stop for a swim in the cave close to the harbour.
Lakka is a stunning bay on the north side of Paxos, and usually the weather permits a beautiful and peaceful night at anchor.
D ominated by the ‘Kasteli’ fortress which is well worth the climb for its spectacular views, this historic and picturesque town is now a well-established resort with plenty of choice for a good night out.
Usually a cracking downwind sail from Parga takes us back to our home port in Preveza. Time for a farewell meal at our favourite backstreet taverna.
