The dual-hull design provides the stability and shallow draft essential for exploring the Ionian's protected anchorages and tight island passages.
Below deck, the saloon serves as the social hub, while the galley is equipped with essential appliances for self-catering.

The Charter Experience
The Ionian Sea offers some of Europe's most forgiving bareboat sailing. Departing from Lefkas, you navigate short passages between islands like Meganisi and Sivota, where protected anchorages and village tavernas are rarely more than a few hours apart. The region rewards careful seamanship with solitude; unlike the crowded Cyclades, these waters remain refreshingly quiet even in summer. Morning swims in crystalline shallows, evening provisioning in working harbours, and unhurried passage planning define the bareboat rhythm here. This is sailing for those who value self-reliance and the pleasure of moving under canvas at human pace.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical two-week circuit sails south from Lefkas toward Meganisi and the Madouri group, then eastward to Sivota and Albania's coastal fringe, returning via Scorpios and the northern channel. Stops might include Nydri (provisioning), Vlicho Bay (swimming), Vassiliki (wind-dependent anchorage), and smaller anchorages accessible only to shallow-draft vessels. The route is tailored to wind and your crew's experience; shorter days suit those new to bareboat sailing.
