Charter Experiences

Life aboard.

A day on the water, a themed retreat, a week between the islands or a fortnight that reaches the quiet ones. Four ways to sail with us — and the photographs to go with them.

Four ways to sail

Choose the length of your week.

Open any of the four to see what it involves. Every one of them can be sailed bareboat or with one of our skippers.

A day on the water One day charters

Seven days One week charters

Charter sailing yacht underway with guests relaxing on the side deck, mountains of the Ionian behind

Our sample itineraries are designed for skippered charters, giving you a sense of what a week of sailing in the Ionian, Saronic, or Cyclades can look like.

For your bareboat charter, we tailor the itinerary entirely to your needs — your preferred pace, the islands you want to explore, and the experiences you value most.

Fourteen days Two week charters

Sailing yacht silhouetted at anchor on a hazy golden sea at sunset in the Ionian Islands

A two-week charter opens up the full breadth of the Aegean and Ionian, giving you time to explore more islands, slower rhythms, and hidden anchorages that shorter trips can’t reach. These extended routes are ideal for guests who want a deeper sailing experience, combining well-known destinations with quieter bays and lesser-visited villages.

Our sample routes are designed for skippered charters, but if you’re sailing bareboat, we’ll shape a personalised two-week itinerary based on your experience, interests, and the kind of adventure you want to create.

What you are looking at

A week, roughly.

Most of these frames come from the same stretch of the southern Ionian — the water between Lefkas, Meganisi, Kalamos and Ithaca, where the coves are deep, the sea caves are cool, and the villages light up at dusk.

Mornings are glass

The wind sleeps until noon. That is when you swim off the stern, run the tender ashore for bread, and motor a couple of miles to the next bay before anyone else wakes up.

Afternoons are sailing

The sea breeze arrives around one o'clock and builds through the afternoon — enough to switch the engine off, sheet in, and cover the distance to the evening's anchorage properly under sail.

Evenings are ashore

Stern-to on a village quay, or anchored alone with a line to a tree. Either way the light goes gold, then pink, and the day ends at a table twenty metres from the boat.

Your turn

This could be your photo roll.

Pick a week, pick a yacht, and we will handle everything between the airport and the anchorage.
