About Us

Island Sailing is one of the fastest growing British yacht charter companies and RYA Training Centres operating in Greece. With a love of sailing and a passion for the Greek islands we offer the best selection of modern cruising yachts in the Ionian islands, the ArgoSaronic Gulf and the Cyclades islands from 31 – 55 feet. Island Sailing is also a British fully accredited RYA Training Centre based at Lefkas marina.  We offer some of the best flotilla routes in the Mediterranean on fantastic yachts for a great mix of clients. 

Our season starts in May and ends in October.
