Skippered yacht charters in Greece

If you would like a sailing holiday but do not have the experience to take a boat out on your own, we can arrange for you to have a skipper aboard a private sailing yacht of your choice. A skippered sailing holiday is also ideal for anyone who would like to learn how to sail, the rules of the road, navigation, etc. Your skipper will be your tutor and instructor, and by the time your holiday is over, you will probably have enough confidence to join a flotilla the following year. Together you will plan your route and discuss your preferences. We have no doubt that you will find our skippers to be friendly, hospitable and welcoming. At the same time, they can be discreet and will allow you to maintain your privacy.

In addition to the charter fee for the yacht, you will be responsible for all additional expenses including fuel, water, provisions, skipper's meals, harbour and marina fees, cleaning and security deposit (if requested).
