Take your choice between our all-inclusive chartered voyages and our bareboat charter in Greece. If you aren’t sure of what to bring on this voyage, then we can take care of all the details for you. Otherwise, if you’re an old hand at assembling this kind of holiday and are experienced at sea, we’ll provide you with a high-quality yacht with an experienced captain to get you where you’d like to go.
When you book family sailing holidays in Greece, we’ve laid out several key destinations that you can visit. We recommend visiting each of these islands and seeing beautiful locations such as Lefkas, Meganisi, Vathy, Sami, Fiskardo, Sivota Bay, Kalamos, and Ormos Vrako. These islands are the most peaceful locations in the Ionian Sea and have sights that you won’t want to miss.
If your group is smaller and you don’t need the privacy of an entire boat to yourself, you can get the full experience for a fraction of the price by booking a cabin. You’ll still have access to the whole crew, accommodations, and sights that you’d have by booking your own boat.

In addition to the boat and essential materials, you’ll also have our crew at your service. These exceptional mariners will ensure a safe and enjoyable holiday, as they take pride in showing off the beauty that Greece has to offer.
Sailing holidays don’t have to be wall-to-wall excitement and endless parties. Instead, our crewed yacht charter in Greece gives you time to unwind with calm days on a beautiful sea. The continual relaxation is punctuated by visits to the most beautiful spots in the Ionian Sea.
