Two- Day Intro to Yachting

Not everyone wants to take the plunge and commit themselves to living on a yacht for a week when they have not done anything like that before - hence our shore-based yachting courses.  This option is highly suitable for families with children to keep occupied! To be taken at any time during a holiday on Lefkas (we'd recommend staying at the Armonia Hotel or one of our nearby properties, otherwise car hire may be necessary), these two-day sailing modules can easily be combined and offer considerable flexibility. In two days, they provide a yachting taster and the Introduction to Yachting Certificate; three or four of these two-day courses in combination spread over your holiday should result in completion of the Yacht Crew Certificate.

The courses start at 0930 hours and ends at about 1730, with either a lunch time stop at a nearby port or a picnic taken at anchor in a quiet bay where you can enjoy a swim. This option then leaves you free on the days you are not sailing to relax by the pool, rent a car and explore, take an excursion or participate in the many activities Lefkas has to offer (scuba diving, water-skiing, motor-boat rental, horse riding etc).

Pre- Flotilla Brush-Up

Our brush-up course for the rusty but experienced skipper and crew might suit, for example, a family where the parents used to sail or take flotilla holidays regularly before the advent of children and who now wish to introduce their family to the joys of sailing. Any number of two-day course units can be booked, depending upon how rusty the sailors are, and certification may be available, For the second week's holiday, the duly refreshed skipper and crew can take out one of the flotilla yachts.  The price list quotes some sample options and costs, but anything can be arranged on request.

Day Boats

If staying ashore, we also have day boats for hire (for experienced sailors).  These are 21ft yachts with an out- board engine.  You have a cruising range of five miles which can comfortably take you to some neighbouring islands and across to the mainland; an area full of quiet and interesting bays to explore as well as many pretty small harbours to visit.  They are licensed for a maximum of six persons and are available from 0900 - 1730 hrs. 
Please note:  Must be pre-booked for a minimum of two consecutive days and thereafter in two-day segments.
