Bareboat Yacht Charter

With bareboat yacht charter you sail the boat yourself with family or friends. An Island Sailing bareboat yacht charter allows you to sail your own route around the Greek Islands with the freedom to explore and discover something new each day with the security that we are available should you need assistance.

Flotilla sailing is a great way to sail in the sunshine on your own yacht with family or friends in the beautiful Greek islands with the reassurance of being part of a group with the back-up of experienced and knowledgeable crew.

Cruise at your own pace, drop anchor for a swim or snorkel in the clear warm waters of the Ionian. Explore coves, beaches and secluded bays and discover pretty villages and breathtaking scenery. The specially chosen itineraries visit the best bays, beautiful villages and the nicest tavernas sailing to a different Greek Ionian island destination each day.

Sailing Areas

Sail with us from our fantastic Lefkas marina base around the Greek islands for one week or two between May and October.
