If you want to learn to sail or develop your yachting experience your skipper can give informal and relaxed tuition. You can do as much or as little sailing as you like on your own private yacht and enjoy your skippered sailing holiday with plenty of time to explore the beautiful Ionian islands of Greece, to swim in the crystal clear waters and relax in the sunshine.

Special birthdays and anniversaries have been celebrated on board, many customers have learned more about sailing and others have simply enjoyed sunbathing, reading and relaxing onboard a lovely sailing yacht! During 2011 a mixed land and sea based holiday (or 'Shore & Sail' holiday) has proved a popular choice and customers have enjoyed a week’s villa holiday followed by a week skippered sailing holiday.
