We are based in Gouvia
Marina on the island of
Corfu. From here we set
sail into the Ionian Sea to
visit many of the area's famous
islands and bays including: Paxos,
Lefkas, Ithaca and Cephalonia
(please note: we do not 'day sail' from
a marina, we sail to and overnight in
different ports and anchorages every day).
On a normal day we will sail between 20 and
30 miles.

We have an intimate knowledge of our sailing
area. This means that, even during peak
periods, we can find deserted bays and coves
undiscovered by the flotillas and charter boats.

This is an area of outstanding natural beauty and much of it is protected by environmental laws. We often see dolphins, turtles and even the odd whale. And, unlike the Aegean Sea, our islands are exotically green, filled with olive groves, palm and cyprus trees. From March to June it is a riot of colour with spring flowers.

It is also an area rich in history. Legend has it that Odysseus sailed these waters on his journey home from the Trojan wars. Many of the places we visit seem to have changed little since then, the best are still only accessible by sea.

Life in the Greek Islands is simple, unhurried, friendly and relaxed. Food and drink play an important part in Greek culture and as a valued visitor you will be welcomed into the numerous tavernas and restaurants we visit during each course.

The Ionian is an ideal place to learn how to sail. Most mornings the wind is light, perfect for practicing boat handling skills. In the afternoon the wind builds (force 3 to 5) giving exhilarating sailing conditions before dying away again in
the evening for a comfortable nights stay in the harbours
and anchorages. Gales are rare in the area (less than
5% of the time) and because of the protection offered by
the numerous islands and surrounding mountains we are nearly always able to take to the water.


Even in the winter the area benefits from warm conditions offering the chance to develop new sailing skills when British and northern European waters are not so appealing. Travel to and from Corfu is easy, see our travel information section for more details.
