Learn to Sail Holidays

The South Ionian islands sit just off the coast of Western Greece and create a wonderful protected expanse of water which is perfect for training. Lefkas, the most northerly island, with its rugged coastline and lush greenery, offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and vibrant culture. Kefalonia enchants visitors with its stunning beaches, dramatic cliffs, and charming villages nestled amidst olive groves. Meganisi beckons with its serene atmosphere, secluded beaches, and traditional tavernas serving freshly caught seafood. Kalamos captivates with its tranquil ambiance and unspoiled landscapes, providing a haven for relaxation and exploration. Meanwhile, Ithaka, steeped in mythology and history, invites travellers to uncover its ancient ruins, olive groves, and crystal-clear waters, embodying the essence of a quintessential Greek island escape. For longer passages and more open water sailing, we have the area to the south of Kefalonia, including Zakynthos, the Gulf of Patras and the Western coast of the Peloponnese.

These islands, plus many smaller ones offer the vibrant atmosphere of bustling harbors along with the serene beauty of secluded anchorages, all waiting to be explored.

From our partners in Greece we offer RYA sailing courses in the Ionian with Seafarer Sailing School. An RYA recognised training centre offering a range of courses suitable for all abilities, from complete beginners through to Coastal skipper and Yachtmaster.

Split, Croatia, is a vibrant city boasting a historic center built within a Roman palace. From Split,the central Dalmatian islands beckon sitting to the south. Brac, the largest, is known for its Zlatni Rat beach, a windsurfer’s paradise. Hvar, the sunniest island, offers charming towns, lavender fields, and a jet-set atmosphere. Vis, untouched for decades due to military use, now entices with secluded coves and a slower pace.

Hugging the mainland coast north of Split, you’ll find charming towns like Trogir with its medieval core and Makarska with its dramatic Biokovo mountain backdrop. Tucked between them, wedged between Split and Makarska, lie Primošten and Rogoznica. Primošten, with its historic core clinging to a peninsula, offers stunning beaches and a relaxed atmosphere. Rogoznica, a harbor town, caters to boaters with its marinas and coves, but also boasts beaches and a laid-back charm. Continuing northwest, the Krka National Park unfolds, where the Krka River tumbles over waterfalls and creates turquoise lakes, perfect for a refreshing dip before reaching the historic town of Skradin.
