A UNIQUE KIND OF HOLIDAY IN THE GREEK ISLANDS

Perfect for families, couples, friends and groups, a Sailing Holidays flotilla will provide a memory that lasts a lifetime. Sail in crystal clear waters, lunch in quiet bays, swim in the warm water, enjoy beautiful beaches, and then take in the ambiance of a Greek taverna in the evening ...

On a flotilla holiday you can enjoy the independence of sailing your own yacht, whilst appreciating the comfort and relaxation that comes from the support provided by the lead crew – and with all flights and transfers included, you’re looked after from the moment you sit down on the plane.

Our lead crews who accompany the flotilla offer unobtrusive backup, so you can concentrate on enjoying your time exploring one of the most beautiful sailing areas in the world.

With up to ten boats in the group there is a fantastic social aspect to flotillas that adults and children always enjoy, we can’t count the number of lifelong friendships made on flotilla. If you feel like more time to yourself, you can sail to the next destination or find a quiet bay to have a swim, a bite to eat, or to just relax!

Sailing Holidays Ltd

Your Ideal Holiday Yacht

Our fleet of Beneteau yachts range in size from 32ft which are ideal for couples, to 35ft and 38ft yachts that are perfect for families, right up to 45ft and 50ft yachts for larger groups.

All of our yachts have been adapted over the years to suit the Greek Island sailing environment, with ease of sailing and quality of life in mind.

The Perfect Flotilla For You

We have been offering sailing holidays in the Greek islands for 47 years and enjoy seeing familiar faces on flotilla each year. The boat shows we take part in Become a reunion where our crews and flotilla sailors meet to reminisce of the adventures shared together in Greece.

From April to November, we offer a variety of 1, 2 and 3 week routes which take in the highlights of the Ionian, Saronic, and Sporades islands. Whether you’re looking for fun and adventure, peace and relaxation, or a blend of all these, we have the flotilla holiday to suit you.

Yacht Charter

For sailors who enjoy the independence of a private yacht charter, our dedicated Yacht Charter Team will help you to find the perfect boat to suit your party.

If you’re looking to sail your own yacht, we can arrange bareboat charters on the yacht of your choice, so you can enjoy the ultimate freedom of setting your own course and travelling at your own pace.

For those that prefer to kick back a little more, a skippered charter can be the perfect way for you, your friends and family to enjoy a truly relaxing holiday, and perhaps learn some new skills.

Or, if you’re after true luxury – we can provide fully crewed charters on some of the finest luxury yachts in the Mediterranean.

Rya Training Courses

Getting more people into sailing has always been a big part of what motivates us, so we are very proud to offer the opportunity of learning to sail in the sunshine!

Rather than battling through an arduous week in the Solent, why not learn the skills you need to skipper a yacht in the sunshine of the Greek Islands?

Even if you’ve never set food on a boat before, the Competent Crew course will teach you the basics to make you a valuable and useful member of the crew. If you already have some experience and dream of skippering your own yacht, the Day Skipper course will teach you all you need to take that next step.

All our sailing courses are fully accredited with the RYA, with a maximum ratio of participants to instructors of 4:1. Prices start from £995, including full online theory course, RYA course materials and all practical instruction over 5 days.
