The flotilla is run in collaboration with SEAFARER SAILING which has years of experience in organizing flotilla holidays. We have weekly departures every Sunday from May to October in the South Ionian.
The Ionian Sea is without doubt the "birthplace" of the flotilla holiday. Gentle breeze, safe anchorages and iridescent waters make the southern Ionian the ideal holiday destination for sailing within a flotilla. The protected waters are ideal for the less experienced sailors, and for the more experienced sailors who want a more relaxing holiday, with 5time to rest, enjoy the area and socialize with sailors from around the world.
The Ionian Flotilla starts every Sunday from our base in Nidri on the island of Lefkas with a different destination each day explorinmg the islands of Meganissi, Kefalonia and Ithaca, and some of the smaller and more traditional islands. We return to Lefkas at the end of the week.
Each island, each port and each village or town has its own unique character, from the cosmopolitan Fiskardo traditional Lefkada and caste to the pine fringed beaches of Meganissi.
The day starts with a morning briefing from the lead crew on destination, weather conditions the program of the day and the local information. Then the lead crew will help with the departure of each vessel .When you reach your destination the lead crew will arrange for the berthing of each vessel and will help with mooring. Most evenings there are social events organized by the lead crew, such as a punch party,a barbeque party & group tavern meals.
The lead boat follows the flotilla and is constantly ready to provide any kind of assistance if necessary. For all these reasons, whether you are recently qualified sailors and want to expand your experience wiith help and advice on hand or an experienced crew simply looking for peace of mind and a hassle free holiday- the Ionian Flotilla is ideal for you.
