CRUISING INFO

Cruising and getting ASA certified in Greece with us is one of the best choices that you can make. 

No other place in the world can offer the sailing options that the Ionian Sea offers. The west Greek mainland and the Ionian Islands form an extensive coastline that provides countless protected bays and beaches of rare beauty, ideal for swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving. During the sailing period, the north-west prevailing wind (maisto) in the Ionian Sea is by far gentler than the north east prevailing wind (meltemi) of the Aegean Sea.

We offer weekly Learn to Sail Vacations which run from Monday afternoon to Saturday morning. 

Itinerary* : Our home port is Mandrake marina which is located in the Old Venetian Fortress of Corfu town. The Old Venetian Fortress of Corfu, is an UNESCO site; a masterpiece of architectural art with a rich history heritage. It is considered one of the most beautiful locations in Greece; a jewel in the Ionian Sea.We will meet there, cast off and sail to different areas of Corfu island, of Paxos island  and of the West coast of the Greek mainland. The area is considered one of the best sailing destinations in the Med. 

We plan our cruises to combine recreation with training. We also plan to visit a different place every day, stopping for swimming in protected bays and beaches. Most evenings will be docked ashore, or day in anchor, around 7:00pm. 

*Itineraries are always weather dependent.

OUR FLOTILLAS

In June 2023 we also organized and conducted our first flotilla. We cast off from our home port from Corfu Town and we sailed the north Ionian Sea for a week visiting a different location each day.

Our destinations included different areas of Corfu island , Paxos island and the west coast of the Greek mainland. 

The feedback was very positive; people had amazing time at sea, excellent food and they said that it was a lifetime experience. So, we organized and conducted another three in 2024 which had the same success.
