Gone with the Wind: Corfu and the Ionian Islands

04/1/2025

I was so excited to go sailing in Greece. This dream unfortunately took a quick turn into a nightmare. The captain didn’t take us to any of the sites listed on the itinerary. We stayed close to the original port the whole trip. We would ask him each day to go to one of the listed places and he would just ignore the suggestions. He would also blame it each day on the weather yet we had beautiful weather the whole trip, minus the first day. The boat itself was constantly breaking down. We had a broke toilet which was not a plus. But the worst part of the trip was when the captain used the outside shower in front of myself and a few of the other girls on the boat. He proceeded to take his swim shorts off deliberately flashing his private parts to us. All the lady’s became super uncomfortable on the boat afterwards. It was super inappropriate. Would highly recommended spending your money elsewhere. Was a horrific experience.

Absolutely phenomenal sailing adventure with Alessandro and Andrea! From the moment we stepped aboard in Corfu with our three children (ages 7, 10 and 12), we knew we were in expert hands. They crafted the perfect itinerary, taking us to the stunning islands of Paxos and beyond, revealing the hidden gems of Greece. Our days were filled with unforgettable experiences: hiking to ancient temples, swimming and snorkeling in pristine bays, collecting sea shells, exploring historic castles, and wandering through charming seaside towns. The boat was incredibly comfortable, making our nights as enjoyable as our days. The meals onboard were all excellent as well and the accomodations were clean and cozy. Alessandro and Andrea's hospitality was truly exceptional. They are not only skilled sailors, but also passionate guides, sharing their love for Greece with us. They even played Uno with our kids every afternoon. Their knowledge and enthusiasm made this vacation one of the best we've ever had. Thank you, Alessandro and Andrea, for showing us the most beautiful side of Greece! You are simply the best! 5 stars without a doubt.

Travelling in Greece in a whole boat with a skipper

What a whole boat sailing holiday offers

Sailing holidays are a brilliant opportunity for groups of family and friends to come together and create special holiday memories. Booking a whole boat allows you some luxuries you may not find when sharing the boat with travellers. One particular luxury that could make a great different to your holiday structure is the freedom of your itinerary - which may be especially relevant when travelling in Greece where there is such an abundance of special islands and destinations to visit. Reserving a whole boat then allows you to work with your skipper to tweak and tune the holiday to suit you and your friends and family.

Locations in Greece for a whole boat sailing holiday

Across the Ionian islands, the Cyclades, the Dodecanese, the Saronic islands and the Athens area you can find holiday listings with whole boat booking availability. If you come across an experience either isn’t or doesn't explicitly appear as a whole boat listing, you can reach out to the organising skipper through the “contact the skipper” button present on each holiday listing to understand their upcoming availability.

All you need to know about your next cruise in Greece aboard a sailboat.

When to go to Greece for a sailing holiday & how long should I visit?

The Greek climate is pleasant and generally suitable for sailing holidays throughout the year. Travellers might want to consider a sailing holiday in Greece during the slightly quieter months of May, June, September, or October when weather conditions are still generally warm. Depending on the style of sailing experience you are looking for, each group of islands has their unique personality, and each island it’s special charm. Travelling with a local, experienced skipper means that you are able to travel to the popular destinations as well as lesser known spots, tucked away from mainstream tourism. Again, depending on the set of islands you are visiting, the recommended duration will differ. We recommend a minimum of two weeks to discover the Cyclades and the Dodecanese. If you have less time, we recommend looking at holidays in the Ionian, Saronic, Sporades and Crete.

Transport options to and from your holiday in Greece & sailing with a family

Greece is home to a number of international airports, including Athens, Corfu, Kos, and Kefalonia. Prices will vary substantially depending on the month, you may find cheaper alternatives in the months before and after the peak months of July and August. There is a highly developed network of ferries that are a main form of transport, and maybe necessary to reach your skipper. Your skipper will be best placed to give you advice on transport options according to the specific embarkment, disembarkment and season of travel. Greece is a location that is particularly family sailing holiday friendly, this as there is generally a warm climate, plenty of mooring options, and many facilities for activities such as water sports.
