Ready to get started? Build your sailing holiday
Green hills, sheltered bays and charming waterfront villages give the Ionian Islands a very different feel from the drier landscapes of the Aegean. Corfu, Lefkas, Kefalonia, Ithaca, Paxos and Meganisi are among the best-known destinations, with numerous smaller coves and islands providing plenty of choice for a week on the water. The Ionian is particularly appealing if you are considering your first sailing yacht charter. Summer winds are generally manageable, and many of the most attractive destinations are within comfortable sailing distances of one another. That leaves plenty of time to enjoy the yacht rather than constantly being focused on the next passage. Swim from the boat in the morning, sail on to a quiet anchorage for lunch, then spend the evening exploring a harbour or enjoying a meal beside the water. Seamaster’s sailing yachts offer a comfortable base for this relaxed style of cruising. At over 45 feet, every yacht provides generous space both above and below deck, while being three years old or newer and maintained to a high specification. Teak decks make the cockpit and exterior areas inviting places to spend the day, while air conditioning and watermakers provide added convenience. Whether your itinerary takes in the Venetian character of Corfu, the beaches of Kefalonia or the smaller islands around Lefkas, the Ionian gives you plenty of opportunities to slow down and enjoy sailing in beautiful surroundings.
