Our fleet in Lefkas is located at the D-Marin Lefkas Marina , with plenty of options for shopping and dining prior to or after your charter.

Sailing Itineraries from Lefkas

From our base in Lefkas one week charters typically head south towards Kefalonia and Zakynthos or north towards Corfu including mainland harbours like Syvota and Parga. Two week charters give time to cover more area or simply spend more time exploring the spots you are visiting. Below we present a sample one week itinerary of our favourite southern route.

The Southern Ionian Islands

Known for relatively mild winds during the summer, the Ionian Sea is a sailing playground ideal for smooth sailing and family vacation, featuring endless swimming and idyllic nights in isolated bays of unique beauty . Lefkas island itself is full of tranquil coves and bays which one could spend many day exploring!

To the south of Lefkas lies the island of Kefalonia, and a little further Zakynthos. Both are large, well-known touristic islands with a ton of fun things to do , beautiful places to visit, turquoise waters to dive in, and historic sites to visit . On the way from Lefkas to Kefalonia there are many smaller islands well worth a visit, including the amazing Ithaki and the smaller islands of Kalamos and Kastos of the mainland coast.

The Northern Ionian Islands

To the north of Lefkas lies Corfu (where we have our Corfu charter base ), the largest of the Ionian islands, and hands-down the most cosmopolitan of them all . Over the course of its long and distinguished history, Corfu, or Kerkyra, has experienced Italian, French and English rule, each leaving a very distinct imprint on the island and its inhabitants. A mixture of different civilizations and cultures blended together into an amalgam that is undoubtedly Greek in character, and yet truly unique from the rest of Greece.

Heading towards Corfu will usually take you through the mainland ports of northern Greece, including Syvota and Parga , and allowing you to explore the amazing islands of Paxoi and Antipaxoi along the way.

A One Week Sailing Itinerary from Lefkas Day 1: Lefkas to Meganissi (10-15 nautical miles, 2-3 hours sailing)

Today, we set sail from Lefkas marina, heading south through the canal that separates Lefkas island from the mainland. As we leave the canal, we see the rocky islet of Volios on our left and the castle of Agios Georgios on the mainland coast.

Consider stopping at the charming coves and beaches on the mainland coast (Aspros Gialos, Marathia, Varko beach) before continuing south. Alternatively, visit Skorpios , known for its green waters and rumored to be Jackie Kennedy's favorite island . Be aware of the thermal wind during midday hours and the Chiromytis reef near Skorpios, which requires careful navigation.

Our destination for the night is the picturesque Vathi on Meganissi island , with two docking options: the private Odyseas Marina or the small free harbor at the bottom of the bay. Depths here are suitable for various boat sizes. Enjoy traditional fish taverns, beach bars, and the natural beauty of the area. Other overnight options include Spilia , Atherinos , or Kapsali .

Day 2: Meganissi to Ithaca - Vathi (20 nautical miles, 3-4 hours sailing)

Start the day with a refreshing morning swim at Desimi Beach Bay , just 3nm west of Vathi. Next, visit the southern part of Meganisi and the famous Papanikoli Cave , named after a Greek World War II submarine. Be aware however that anchoring is not suitable in this area.

Be cautious of the thermal wind that occurs during midday hours and stronger winds near Vathi, as they arise from the central part of Ithaca island. Today's overnight destination is either Vathi , the capital of Ithaca island, or the picturesque Kioni . While Kioni offers a peaceful ambiance, beautiful beaches, and lush forest hikes, the cosmopolitan Vathi caters to those seeking more lively entertainment . Before reaching Ithaca, consider stopping at the islet of Atokos (One House Bay) for a swim.

In Vathi, there are stern or side mooring options on the southern and eastern sides of the harbor, with depths ranging from 2m to over 4m. Anchoring offshore in the bay is also possible, with depths at 10m and good holding potential, however be prepared for strong north-westerly afternoon winds. Other overnight stay options on Ithaca include Kioni , Frikes , or Pera Pigadi .

Day 3: Ithaca to Kefalonia – Agia Efimia (distances and times vary based on route)

Begin your day with a swim at one of the beaches of Gidaki , Filiatro , or Pera Pegadi if you sail southeast of Ithaca. Alternatively, sail to the northern side of the island and cross the Ithaca-Kefalonia strait to stop for a swim at Agios Nikolaos or Afales . According to legend, the Castle of Odysseus was located in Afales, and underwater findings at 15m depth now support this claim.

Be aware of the stronger thermal effect in the strait of Ithaca-Kefalonia, with wind and waves directed from north to south. Beam reach sailing is recommended for a comfortable cruise. Exercise caution near the rocky islet of Daskalio .

Tonight's overnight stay is at the harbor of Agia Efimia in the northern part of Sami Bay . The municipal port offers water and electricity for a fee. Don't miss the opportunity to visit the enchanting Melissani Lake , approximately 5km from your mooring point. If you're up for a hike, consider the 9.5km trail to the world-famous Myrtos beach .

In Agia Efimia, dock in the northern part of the harbor with sea depths over 3m or the eastern part with depths reaching 5m. Alternatively, anchor in the bay with depths at 4m but be cautious of the bathing area at the western part of the bay. Enjoy traditional taverns and cafes just a few meters from your boat.

Day 4: Skala and Agios Nikolaos (25 nautical miles, 5 hours sailing)

Today, sail to Zakynthos , the southernmost destination on your itinerary. This 25nm journey features the most spectacular landscapes and natural treasures of the Ionian Sea, including Shipwreck Bay and the Blue Caves . Along the way, visit Antisamos Beach for extreme water sports and Skala Beach at the southern coast of Kefalonia for unforgettable photo opportunities.

Be prepared for stronger winds in the southernmost part of Kefalonia and exercise caution around the Kakava shallows outside Skala. Maintain an offshore distance of about 2nm from the coast.

The tranquil harbor of Agios Nikolaos offers a pleasant overnight stay, with a mesmerizing natural landscape and modern entertainment options, including traditional taverns and cozy cafes. Before docking, visit the famous Blue Caves , just 1.5 nautical miles from the harbor, and plan for a morning visit to the Shipwreck as it's nearby.

Approach Agios Nikolaos harbor either from the northern or southern side of the rocky islet of Agios Nikolaos. Avoid the south side for anchorage as it serves fishing boats and ferries. Berth on the western side, where depths are about 2m. Ensure your anchor has enough span to secure your berth during strong ripples caused by the ferry's arrival.

Day 5: Zakynthos to Kefalonia - Poros (23 nautical miles, 4-5 hours sailing)

Start your day with a morning swim at the famous Navagio (Shipwreck) Beach , one of the most iconic beaches in the Ionian Sea. Visit early, as local daily cruises can become crowded after 10 am. Be prepared for the usual early afternoon swell, even without wind. The sea depth in the area is sufficient for safe navigation and anchorage in the middle of the bay .

Tonight's destination is Kefalonia , where you have various options in the eastern part of the island. A suggested stop is the port of Poros , located 23 nm from Shipwreck beach. Near the port, below the town's square, you'll find an organized sandy beach , traditional taverns, and bars for your entertainment.

When approaching Poros , watch out for wind spirals (gusts) from the north. Avoid berthing at the large dock, as it serves daily ferries connecting Kefalonia with Zakynthos and Kyllini. Instead, dock in the south-southwest side of the harbor, where depths are over 2m and the anchor grips well on the sandy seabed. 

Day 6: Kefalonia to Lefkas - Sivota (25 nautical miles, 5 hours sailing)

Begin your return journey from Poros to Fiskardo , crossing the Ithaca-Kefalonia strait in the opposite direction (south to north). Morning hours offer the best weather conditions for sailing. Discover hidden gems for a morning swim along the way, and if you haven't already, visit Fiskardo for lunch. You can moor in Fiskardo harbor on the south and west sides, with depths over 2.5m and 3m, respectively. If all berths are occupied, stern to the rocks on the north side, where the depth is over 3m.

Sivota , a picturesque seaside village on the southern coast of Lefkas is an ideal destination for your last night. Each tavern in Sivota provides its own floating pier for free docking, water, and electricity. According to Dörpfeld's theory, Odysseus landed in Sivota on his way back to Ithaca. Mooring in Sivota requires a safe spot at one of the floating piers owned by local taverns, with assistance generously offered by the locals upon arrival. Alternatively, you can anchor in the middle of the bay where the seabed is over 4m deep. 

Day 7: Back to Lefkas Marina

The last sailing day includes several popular and famous swimming spots on the western side of Lefkas island. Vassiliki Beach , in the southwestern part of the island, is known to be one of the best in the world for windsurfing. As you head further north, enjoy the waters at Porto Katsiki , Egremni , Megali Petra , and Agios Nikitas beaches, all top tourist destinations worldwide.

As you approach the town of Lefkas from the north side, you'll need to cross the floating bridge of the island. Be cautious and mindful of several important points during this process. First, ensure a safe passage outside Ammoglossa, where the size of the sandbar varies each year due to sand deposition. A green light indicates the entry point here. The floating bridge opens every hour , with priority given to incoming boats. There's a dock for side mooring while you wait for the bridge to open.

After crossing the canal, stay close to the starboard side between the green and red lights. First, on your right, you'll see the port and the town of Lefkas. Following that, Lefkas Marina appears at the end of the harbor and you have returned back to base .

Lefkada island

Lefkada is a Greek island in the Ionian Sea, characterized by beautiful sandy beaches and rocky terrain. The island occupies 336 square kilometers, and its highest point is Mount Stavrota, 1,158 meters high.

Lefkada is an island that has preserved the traditions of the old Mediterranean, because its laws do not allow the construction of tall buildings. This can be seen in the picturesque town of Lefkada, the capital of the island. It is located in the north-eastern part of the island and is connected to mainland Greece by a bridge. About 14,000 people live in the city, and despite its size, it is a busy place, especially in the summer. It has several churches that testify to the richness of its history and culture, as well as the traditional significance of religion in everyday life.

Lefkada is a great starting point for sailing around the island and its environs. Due to the clear sea and snow-white sand, the beaches are the main attraction of the island. The most famous of them is Porto Katsiki beach , a small bay laid under a high cliff. It is located 45 km southwest of Lefkada and is a frequent stop for yachts and boat travelers who love to enjoy the beautiful sea and wild waves.

Another popular beach is the long sandy beach of Egremi, with many sun loungers and parasols. There are also several beach bars. All this suggests that the beach accepts many tourists, but you can find many secluded places. About 325 steps lead to the beach, offering breathtaking views of the island.

If you are looking for a busy beach with various amenities, then Nydri Beach is for you. There are cafes, restaurants, beach bars and other types of entertainment. The beach is ideal for families with children.

Greece - Lefkada

Lying in the Ionian Sea and connected to the mainland by a causeway, Lefkada is an unspoilt Mediterranean paradise. Edged with white cliffs lapped by electric-blue water and clad in olive groves and cypress trees, the island offers both top-notch, developed tourism as well as wild, secluded nature spots.

Call us or get in touch with your friendly Abberley yacht charter broker here and our seasoned team will take care of everything you need to turn your next yachting holiday into an idyllic vacation.

Lefkada – Top yacht charter destination

While most of the tourist action occurs on the east coast, dropping anchor off the dramatic west coast will afford you privacy and the luxury of having the azure waters to yourself. If you fancy wandering ashore to try some of Lefkada’s cuisine, head to the traditional village Nydri, Lefkada town in the north or breezy Vassiliki in the south. After relaxing onboard your luxury yacht, you might also be up for some more strenuous exercise. A hike to the wild centre of the island will reward you with a glimpse into age-old traditions: shepherds tending sheep, farmers checking their orchards and groves and old crones in traditional dress.

Lefkada – Things to Do

The beaches of Egremni, Milos, Gialos and Porto Katsiki are encircled by steep cliffs and reaching them often involves crazy traffic, hairpin bends and a frantic search for parking. That is, if you’re not being pampered aboard your own chartered yacht. You have the luxury of sailing to them, dropping anchor and swimming in the azure water. On the east coast, you may want to go ashore and hike to the Nydri waterfalls, a series of cascading drops and refreshing pools in which to swim. For a steeper climb, consider visiting Lefkada Monastery Of Faneromeni, near Lefkada town, where there are lovely gardens, ornate frescoes and beautiful views of the island and mainland.

Lefkada – Gourmet Experience

You can sail into the harbour at Geni and be sitting at a table at Seaside Restaurant within minutes. With its stunning views of Vlyho Bay and delectable modern Greek cuisine, it’s a popular place for yachters and those who recognise a top-notch seafood eatery. Roots restaurant, on the beach at Nydri, is a great option if you fancy a change from the usual Greek fare. Try the pesto spaghetti or the rib-eye steak and then sink back in your chair and absorb the stunning mountain and sea views. As for sweets, Lefkada is famous for its honey and marmalade – don’t miss them if you have a sweet tooth!

Lefkada – Nightlife

Art Club in Lygia might not be the most chic bar, but what it lacks in refinement is more than made up for by its festive vibe and friendly owners. Sea to See café and bar, in Lefkada town, offers plush, vintage-style décor and outside tables next to the canal – a great place for a sundowner. The tiny Tree Bar, set in the grounds of the Athos Hotel in Nydri, is a stylish spot for a cocktail.

Guide to Lefkada

A magical place packed with exotic natural landscapes

Located in the heart of the Ionian sea, on the western side of  Greece mainland lies Lefkada, an island so famously known for its crystalline turquoise waters, scenic beaches and picturesque towns. It is one of the most popular Ionian destinations thanks to its magnificent scenery, impressive monasteries, gorgeous seafront and mountainous villages that ooze a unique charm.

Boasting lush green landscapes that are distinctly beautiful all year round, Lefkada is home to numerous delightful destinations waiting to be explored. Onboard your luxury superyacht charter you will witness the panoramic views of the endless horizon and if you head further ashore, you can enjoy the traditional villages and some of the island's most remarkable mountains that are simply breathtaking. Take a visit to Dimosari Waterfalls of Nidri, with its ice cold waters, the falls offer a refreshing oasis during the hot summer afternoons. An easy trek takes you through a beautiful walk beside the towering rocks till you reach the mesmerising falls, which flow down to a cold pool which is sure to test your tolerance for the cold.

If it’s relaxation you’re searching for, there are many idyllic beaches that offer a sense of peaceful tranquillity. With the option to visit long, soft, sandy beaches or warm, pebbled coves of beauty, there are plenty of places to anchor down and enjoy the crystalline Mediterranean waters. Cruise to the south of the island and feast your eyes on the exotic bay of Porto Katsiki, with its impressive white cliffs and incredible blue water, it is a true treasure on the island. If you prefer a quieter beach, head to Egremni, a world-renowned bay that can only be accessed by boat and as the longest beach in Lefkada, finding a quiet spot to enjoy your privacy will not be an issue here. 

If there was a time to test your adrenaline then Lefkada is the place to do so. Many sport enthusiasts thrive here with the endless amounts of opportunities for kitesurfing, windsurfing and paragliding. See the island from a totally different perspective high up in the sky as you edge off a slope into the clouds and fly to the wonderful west coast. On the water, there are ample opportunities to snorkel, swim and explore the enticing caves around the area as well as trying your hand at all the other popular watersports on the island.

A visit to Lefkada town itself provides a perfect opportunity for shopping at quaint traditional shops, and scouting out all the local products from fine liquor to succulent honey, which are both unique to the island. Take a stroll through the Venetian-themed centre and enjoy a delectable meal in the romantic square. If you’re looking for a place to enjoy late night cocktails you will find plenty of trendy and chic bars in the town centre but if you’re wanting a totally authentic and original experience you must visit the luxurious sky bar, Fly Me. High above the clouds, this alfresco cocktail bar and restaurant allows you to relax and enjoy the evening sunset in style.

Chartering a Boat

Best time to visit.

When should you set sail to this mesmerising island? Enjoy a Mediterranean climate and the sun? Here, the summer months consist of warm, dry weather. In contrast, winter months tend to be cooler and rainy. A yacht charter in Lefkada would be ideal during June and September. These months you will be able to soak up the glorious sun while avoiding the crowds that come into town during the peak season (July – August). For those looking to rent a boat in Lefkada during these peak months, it is recommended to book in advance to avoid high costs and have the best options available.

Sailing Conditions in Lefkas

The sailing conditions in the Lefkada area are generally good, with the summer months being the most popular time for sailing.

The prevailing winds in Lefkada are the "maistros" (northwest) and the "garmpo" (southwest), which typically blow at a force of 4-5 on the Beaufort scale, providing perfect sailing conditions. In the mornings, the winds tend to be lighter, while in the afternoons, they pick up, which makes it ideal for beginners to practice in the calmer waters, while more experienced sailors can enjoy the stronger winds in the afternoons.

The sea conditions in the Lefkada area are also generally calm, with the water temperature ranging from 22°C to 26°C during the summer months. The sea is usually the calmest in the morning, but it can get choppy in the afternoon when the wind picks up.

Overall, the sailing conditions in Lefkada are favourable for sailors of all levels, and the island's numerous bays and coves provide plenty of options for anchoring and exploring.

How to spend a day in Lefkas

Begin your voyage in the island's capital: Lefkada Town. A sophisticated city filled with much history, memorising landscape, and family-run businesses. The marina is only a few minutes walk to the town centre of Lefkas! Wander the cobblestone streets with colourful houses that shine brightly in the sun. As you enter the island, one of the first and most important sights you will see is the Castle of Agia Mavra. Built in the 14th century, this fortification was built to protect the island from invaders and enemies. Although only ruins remain, this site is a must-see on your catamaran charter itinerary to better understand and appreciate the history of Greece.

Islands to visit near Lefkada

Sailing bareboat or with a skipper and crew.

Sailing with or without a skipper is a personal preference and depends on several factors, such as experience, comfort level, and budget. Suppose you are an experienced sailor with a good understanding of navigation. In that case, yacht charters without a skipper (also called bareboat) can be a rewarding adventure, providing more freedom and flexibility to explore the destination at your own pace. However, if you are a beginner or prefer a more relaxed sailing holiday, sailing with a skipper might be ideal for you. A skipper is like the captain of the boat, and they can provide guidance, share their local knowledge, and ensure the safety of the guests and the yacht.

There is also an option to have a hostess or a cook on board GlobeSailor yachts. A hostess is responsible for making two daily meals (usually breakfast and lunch) and will take care of the boat's upkeep (tidying common areas etc.). A cook is responsible for making all three meals on board the boat. Both crewed options allow clients to eat Greek-inspired dishes aboard a beautiful boat. Some guests prefer the hostess option as it allows them to sail to a different marina each night and find the best authentic restaurants in Lefkada.

The price of your yacht charter will vary depending on whether you choose a bareboat, skipper or fully crewed option. Each variable offers guests a unique holiday experience. For guests who don't want to sail bareboat, please note the price of a skipper or crew changes depending on the individual boat charter and rental agreement.

Choosing the perfect boat to rent

Regarding yacht rental, the options can seem overwhelming! At GlobeSailor, we have boats of all shapes and sizes for you to rent. Our rentals range in length, berths, cabins, boat model, when they were built, add-ons such as a dinghy or water sports equipment, and of course, price.

Your choice of berths and cabins will vary depending on the sailboat, motor boat or catamaran you choose. Usually, cabins will be single or doubles, meaning they can accommodate one or two people. There are also double cabins for individual use available on some boat rentals, which is a cabin option for one guest who wishes to have more space aboard the yacht.

We offer guests a choice between a sailboat, catamaran, power boat, luxury yacht, gulet or even houseboat! The choices for charters are endless!

Most guests choose either a sailboat or a catamaran to rent. Both boats have unique characteristics to satisfy the varying needs of clients.

A monohull or a sailboat is a traditional boat with one hull (mono!). It is focused on performance and offers sailors the traditional sailing experience. Many sailors like the traditional feel of a monohull. A monohull might be best for you if you fancy yourself a true captain of the seas! Popular boat models such as a Bavaria Cruiser and an Oceanis are available to rent on our website

Catamarans have more than one hull. The multihull of a catamaran offers its guests more stability as the boat is equipped to rock less against the ocean waves. A catamaran is also more spacious than a monohull. Catamarans usually range from 30 feet to 60 feet, with the average length being around 45 feet. Catamarans have less heeling (tilting) than monohulls, providing passengers with a more comfortable and stable ride. Catamarans also have a shallower draft, which means they can sail in waters with a low tide and get closer to shore. Popular catamaran models such as a Lagoon and Odyssey are available to rent on our website

Getting There

Connected to the mainland of Greece by a small narrow bridge, it is one of the few islands reachable by car as it is Fly into Aktion National Airport, near the mainland town of Preveza, which accommodates low-cost flights from European cities. (Note: this airport only operates during the summer months!) From here, your yacht charter in Lefkada is only a 30-minute drive by car or bus. For those travelling from the capital city of Athens, shuttles run daily both ways (the journey takes 6-7 hours).

A sailing holiday in Lefkada offers a unique and unforgettable experience that is unlike any other. With its stunning natural beauty, charming villages, and clear blue waters, Lefkada provides the perfect setting for an adventure on the high seas. Whether you're looking to relax and soak up the sun or you're seeking an exhilarating sailing experience, Lefkada has something to offer everyone. So why not set sail for this magical Greek island and create memories that will last a lifetime? A sailing holiday in Lefkada is a truly special experience that you won't want to miss.

Explore Lefkas Island By Renting A Yacht

So, on your bareboat charter or skippered yacht charter out of Lefkada, where would you like to go? On nearby mainland Greece, the historic town of Preveza has over 60km of beaches around the Ambracian Gulf, and ancient ruins dating back millennia too.

The other major Ionian islands of Kefalonia and Zakynthos are worthy of long pauses too. Cephalonia was the setting for the Hollywood movie *Captain Corelli's Mandolin* thanks to its stunning scenery and beautiful fishing villages. A famous sandy beach and a large cave system make this, the largest of the Ionian Islands, a destination you shouldn't miss on a Lefkada yacht charter.

The southernmost of the Ionian Islands Zakynthos is home to the rare turtle species Caretta-Caretta that lay their eggs on the beaches every year. The scenery is some of the best in Greece and the villages worthy of a few hours and a long lunch break in too.

As well as the larger islands, the smaller islands of the Ionian are always worth a pause too. Often away from the main tourist track, islands such as Kastos, Meganisi and Arkoudi aren't a long sail from the main island, but will give you an authentic taste of Greek island life.

A Lefkas yacht charter will give you the opportunity to explore these islands over a week or two at your own pace, enjoying the placid and great sailing conditions of the Ionian Sea as you do.

Suggested Sailing Itinerary From Lefkas

On your Lefkada yacht charter, whether bareboat or with an experienced skipper you can access hidden anchorages on smaller islands of the Ionian Sea, as well as larger ones like Kefalonia, one of the largest islands in the whole Mediterranean Sea.

7 days - Cephalonia and Lefkas Island: Your first day is just 11NM of sailing south to the island of Meganissi where you can relax for the evening before a 40NM sailing trip north to Paxos. An easy sail to the northern tip of Paxos next, mooring at the beautiful Lakka Cove. The next day is a biggie - 52NM back south to Kefalonia, mooring at Fiskada. Take time to enjoy this spot as the next sail is short, to Ithaca Town on Ithaca, just across the strait. Lefkada Town is the final port for handover.

14 days - Peloponnese and the Ionian Islands: Itself closer to the Saronic Islands, the island of Kithra is widely held as the most southerly Ionian Island. Island and coastal hopping down the northern Ionian archipelago, where the seven-day trippers will head home you continue south and get to explore mainland Greece as well as you enjoy your extended trip to all of the Ionian islands.

Best Times To Hire A Yacht In Lefkada

The sailing season runs from late April to October with July and August being the busiest months for yacht charter. Unlike the Aegean, the Ionian Sea is dominated by the Bora - the same wind that affects nearby Croatia. In summer this is far more benign and far more sailing friendly than the often beefy Meltemi. Building to a fun F5-6 in the afternoon from a zephyr in the morning, you can almost time your daily sailing by it.

The sea is cooler - often quite chilly - at the beginning of the sailing season but there is rainfall in Spring. As the days lengthen you will still see green fields and flowers in May and the winds can be quite benign too. Combined with the crowds being smaller, this suggests that May to early June are the sweet spot for an Ionian boat rental.

Come September and October the seas are still like a warm bath. With the wetter climate than the Aegean this is less of a problem so with the warm seas could be at least as good as the earlier months of the year.

Sailing Weather In Lefkada

April to mid-June: There is rainfall and the temperatures build steadily from the mid-teens to the mid 20 degree C range. There are sometimes cooler northerly winds, though the southerly Bora kicks in in around early May. There is more rainfall here than on Aegean Greece but you will soon find that a blessed relief from the heat!

Late June-August: You'll be unlucky if you see any rain, though it could be welcome in the summer heat. Temperatures are from 30s with recent hot days exceeding 40 - often hotter than the Aegean. The Bora often adds to the heat with its tropical origins.

September-October: The seas remain warm, as does the air. These months can be the best time of year for experienced sailors, as the temperatures are often in the comfortable low to mid 20s though can touch 30C from time to time.

What should I consider when hiring a Yacht or Boat?

The main points to consider are what is your budget, have you got the necessary sailing experience and qualifications to manage the boat if it's not going to have a skipper, whom you are taking sailing, where exactly you wish to go and what will the weather be like on the proposed dates of your trip.

What are the Marinas in Lefkada?

There are three main marinas on Lefkada - with the capacity for 620 yachts, Lefkada Marina is the largest on the Ionian. Nidri Marina is mid-sized with the capacity of 222 yachts, and Sivota Marina takes around 90 vessels.

When are the best times to hire a boat in Lefkada?

To avoid the summer heat and crowds, if you can get to Lefkas Island after autumn school term begins you will find the seas still warm, the air more comfortable and the marinas less crowded.

Do you have to pay a deposit when hiring a Yacht in Lefkas Island?

You will typically pay 50% up front on booking the yacht hire and the balance on arrival. You will either pay a security deposit with your credit card on departure or can get insurance covering damage in advance. In some cases (such as the recent Covid situation) charter companies may be more flexible but this depends on the individual charter companies themselves.

What happens if my Yacht breaks down?

If you are at sea and in danger, call MAYDAY on VHF Ch16 or ring the coast guard on your phone if you have reception. If you have a mechanical fault and can make it to or are on a mooring you will be able to phone a help line number given by the boat charter company.

What should I think of before I hire a Yacht or Boat in Lefkada?

You should consider do you have the experience to handle the yacht charter or boat hire before you book and where do you want to go along with what the weather will be like. Bring warm weather and cool weather clothing if it looks like the weather can be cool as well as warm and remember at sea it can be cool on most evenings.

What Qualifications Do I need to hire a boat or yacht?

If you want to sail without a skipper then you will need relevant qualifications like RYA Day Skipper/International Certificate of Competence (ICC)/ASA 104 Bareboat certificate or the US Sailing Certificate. For small 'day boats' or if you choose to have a skippered on board your yacht charter you typically don't require licences.

Morning Calm III

A 65ft Classic

A celebration of many years of boat ownership, Morning Calm was conceived and built for family cruising in comfort and style. Her composite construction allows weight to be in all the right places, especially the retracting keel which enables access to secluded anchorages. When the keel is in sailing mode, an enormous four and a half meter draught promotes a performance not usually associated with an expedition Yacht of this size. A rope free cockpit means no riveting book has to be interrupted as Morning Calm makes her way toward the next adventure, her all electric control systems allow everyone to be involved.

Whilst on deck is all about short handed performance sailing, her accommodation is definitely modern classic luxury. The panoramic pilot house keeps you part of the journey in a soothing comfortable environment. Staterooms with walk around beds and generous ensuite facilities really show this boat’s origins as a place for all of the family to be comfortable whether at sea or moored for the night.

All this performance and luxury of course needs a crew to keep running smoothly, on Morning Calm, Galley, crew cabin and the machinery room are all aft of the pilot house, creating the perfect dynamic for everyday living onboard. Meals can be served either in the walnut and leather saloon or in the comfortable cockpit which lends itself to waterside dining perfection.

The powerful tender doubles both as a taxi to get ashore or an exploration vehicle to check out the places where even Morning Calm cannot reach and the garage full of water toys means that everyone has a ‘must try experience’ during periods at anchor.

Recommendations when leaving your vessel.

If leaving your boat, please ensure adequate chain is out. More is better.

All seacocks, with exception to the engine inlet, should be closed.

Please ensure that the fuel to the engine is left on.

We would recommend that your bimini is left folded back and secured.

Please ensure that your Genoa has been tightly furled with none of the sail extruding.

Furling mainsails should be correctly furled. With non furling mainsails please ensure that stack packs or sail covers are secure. We would recommend that the main halyard is removed from the sail.

Removable items (e.g. Outboards) should be stowed in a safe lockable place.

Dinghy – Please ensure that your dinghy is not left in the water. It should be suitably stowed either on deck or packed away. Particular attention should be paid to floorboards and oars and how the dinghy is secured.

If leaving your boat at anchor, please leave your shorelines to be used, in an obvious location in the cockpit lockers, in the event that the boat needs to be brought to the quayside.
