Scorpios Sailing

About Your Holiday


Arrival

On arrival, your holiday experience begins with an effortless, chauffeured transfer in a Mercedes limousine. Your driver will whisk you away from the crowds and drive you through the beautiful Greek countryside and on to Lefkas Island to join us aboard the yacht.

For more details on how to get to us, click here.

Once on board, you will have plenty of time to settle in to your accommodation prior to the “Welcome Briefing”. This is when we tell you all about the yacht, its safety features, and details about life onboard. In addition, we have lots of information about some of the great places that we will be visiting in the week. Following the briefing, we may sail to another small port depending on your time of arrival. Wherever we are, you will have the opportunity to explore and get dinner ashore.

A Typical Day

Posing in the cockpit while sailing around Greece
A typical day on board begins with a leisurely breakfast. We discuss the day’s itinerary, the weather and also decide upon our route and the port that we will eventually head for later on in the day. The crew are very well-informed regarding local, historical and cultural points of interest, so you can ask as many questions as you like.

The morning continues with a sail for a few hours to a secluded bay where we will anchor to swim, snorkel or try out our surf kayak (which have proven to be very popular with guests of all ages). You will also have the opportunity to spend time fishing, or to take a swim ashore to explore deserted beaches and islands.

Lunch in the cockpit

The crew will expertly moor the yacht, and this will mark the time to relax and take "Sundowners" (cocktails served in the cockpit) as we reflect on the day's sailing and highlights. Later on, you will step ashore to explore your home for the night and take dinner in a friendly, local taverna or restaurant.

For information on what to bring with you, see our packing hints.

Lunch will be served mid-afternoon and consists of a variety of dishes prepared from fresh, local produce. See our menu page for details on the delicious food you can expect to be served on board our yachts.

Later in the afternoon, when the Ionian breezes become a little stronger, you will experience the natural performance of the yacht when the wind alone drives us towards the evening's port of call.
