Island Hopping Adventures

December 21, 2019

If you are looking for a sailing challenge, why not try ‘Island Hopping’ and make an expedition by sailing to different venues each day. There are so many islands to visit here, and so much to see. We can pre-book overnight Taverna or small hotel accommodation for you (depending on availability). Alternatively since Airbnb arrived in Greece, it is now easier than ever to book accommodation to suit your itinerary.

The Lugger is noted for its rugged sea keeping qualities; they handle well in a good breeze and with so many option in its rigging you can even sail with just a reefed foresail and Mizen. When the wind falls away and it’s time to get back to the pontoon just put down the 4-stroke outboard, an easy pull to get her into action and away she goes at 4-5 knots. With her shallow draft and light handling it is always possible to find a mooring even in the most crowded harbour. A perfect and very safe day sailor.

You can find out more about what some of our clients have done in previous years and get a taste of what is available: Read Dave Craig’s diary of his 3 weeks island tour, or watch the Wilson family’s video further down this page. Call Phil to discuss your ideas and tap into his extensive local knowledge to plan your next adventure.

An Ionian Tour

August 11, 2018

“Are you really travelling around the world in that little boat?” As much as I hated to decrease our status as instant celebrities, I had to admit the truth: “No, we are travelling around the Ionian Sea for a few weeks.” The person who asked the question was the third party in fifteen minutes to…
