The Charter Area

The Ionian Sea offers great sailing sailing weather; sunny and warm with predictable winds within a fascinating group of islands. Navigation is generally by line of sight and a passage between islands is generally only a few hours in duration The islands are attractive and steeped in Greek mythology. The Ionian Sea is a great place for people learning to sail or building experience

• Season •

The season runs from mid-April through to the end of October. The first three week of August can be considered peak season. There's a lot to be said for considering the "shoulder" season from mid-May to mid-June, and September through to mid-October. Why? It's very much cheaper. You will avoid the crush of high/peak season. The weather is still very pleasant and there is a better chance of wind and some great sailing
