Greece - Independent Sailing

Yacht Charter Holidays in Greece

From the gin clear waters and gentle breezes of the Ionian Islands, to the picturesque ports and brilliant bays of the Sporades Islands, Greece has something to offer for all sailors. Take your time meandering from port to port, stopping for lunch and swims in beautiful bays along the way, before making the most of the afternoon breeze and sailing to your evening destination.

Greece – old favourites and new

As we have discovered for ourselves over the years, a crew could spend years sailing around Greece and still find new bays and harbours to explore. So if you feel like you have ‘done Greece’…think again!

We can arrange charters from bases in all of Greece’s best sailing areas; the Ionian, Cyclades, Saronic, Sporades and Dodecanese islands. Whether you are completely new to sailing or whether you are an experienced sailor looking to introduce family or friends to sailing, there will be a destination in Greece to suit your needs.
