What’s new for 2020

For 2020 we will be improving the yacht fleet and extending the season from May to October. We are opening two new flotilla routes in the North Ionian and the Aegean and adding an impressive new Oceanis 51.1 Skippered Yacht.

We also have more sail training options if you are in need of a license to skipper a yacht. We only teach the excellent International Yacht Training scheme because it operates a ‘continual assessment’ method of learning (and no nasty exams!) which in our mind makes it fairer on candidates. So you can come away with a skippers qualification after only a week, and it is a lifetime qualification you can use worldwide.

Here’s just some of what’s in store:

New Stay Sail destination – Porto Heli

We are proud to add, not only a new flotilla route in the Argolic Gulf, but a new Stay Sail option at our 4* Beach Club in Porto Heli. Book a two-week Stay Sail holiday now before our Beach Club prices rise in October.

Stay at this fantastic club for a week and then explore classical Greece in some of the most stunning sailing waters we know. Ideal for sailors with some experience (IYT Bareboat Skipper standard)

Try also our Vassiliki Stay Sails at the Surf Hotel. Ideal for beginner skippers and newly qualified Flotilla Skippers.

New 2020: Two Ionian Flotilla Routes

We have added a northern route to our programme, which covers more miles as we cruise as far as Corfu and back, taking in the magical islands of Paxos and Sivota. Expect clearwater anchorages a tad more wind (still very manageable) and our usual Ocean Elements formula of fun and socials.

New 2020: Two Aegean Flotilla Routes

Based at our Porto Heli Beach Club - which is ideal for Stay Sails and getting the family hooked on sailing - we will cruise islands like Hydra, Spetses and Poros. Not to mention cultural hotspots like Ermioni and Nafplion.

New for 2020 - Sun Odyssey 410s

A small fleet of Sun Odyssey 410’s are brand new for 2020. Be one of the first to try this revolutionary new yacht design and the latest generation of yachts which has already won many awards. It has twin wheels, lots of space inside and a clever deck layout, as well as being an absolute joy to sail. We have a 410 in the Aegean and two in the Ionian.

Sail Training Courses - Save £100

For 2020 we will be expanding our training programme over the full season to include courses for Beginner Flotilla Skippers, more experienced Bareboat Skippers, Crew courses and Family courses.

We work with the International Yacht Training (IYT) scheme because it doesn’t require the pupil to have any prior experience (except the Bareboat course) and it operates a ‘continual assessment’ method of learning which makes it more enjoyable, easier and fairer on candidates - with no stressful exam at the end. You still get the same qualification which is valid worldwide to charter yachts.

Calling all Beginner Yacht Skippers

It was great to see so many first time skippers push off from the dock - at the helm of their own yacht - for the first time after only a week training with us. We put 20 novice sailors (with little to no prior experience) through their International Flotilla Skippers course so that they could skipper their own yacht on our flotilla for week two. We hope that they will come back to take their Bareboat license, with ICC so they are qualified to rent worldwide on bareboat and not just Flotilla.

If you have aspirations to skipper your own yacht then call us now. We have LIMITED SPACES for 2020 on our tuition yacht and (unlike other companies) our IYT qualification is superior - in that you can charter worldwide after a two week Stay Sail with us - and not just in the Ionian with select companies.

OUR FLOTILLA SKIPPER COURSE

New Skippered Yacht – Oceanis 51.1

Book onto our new prestige yacht and cruise the Aegean with our very own skipper onboard to do as much (or as little) of the sailing as you choose. Tour around classical Greece and visit famous archaeological sites and islands like Hydra and Spetses as your yacht meanders through the Greek Riviera on a voyage of discovery, where you can choose the route. Imagine your own swimming pool off the back of the yacht and clearwater anchorages every day.
