Reviews of our Skippered Charters
We (10 women) have been chartering a sailboat from Ionion Sails for 5 years now. The organisation has always been perfect. Our booked skipper was very professional and showed us the most beautiful places in the ionian islands. This year we will book again with Ionion Sails and are already looking forward to our best week of the year!
We had a fabulous trip with Ionian sails. The yacht was clean and well appointed. Our skipper is the best in the business as far as I'm concerned! He provided a safe, fun and memorable experience - we'll be back next year (for a 3rd sail!).
After our trip with the boat 'Helen' and skippered by Antonis, we can't take our minds off the Ionian Sea! The boat provided us with all the necessary comforts and the trip was really enjoyable. Our experience was unforgettable, we highly recommend it! Counting down until next time! Gabriel, thanks for everything!
Excellent knowledge of the island and secluded bays! We enjoyed sailing with our skipper around Lefkada and neighboring islands. The vessel was so beautiful, Spacious and clean! Thank You to the entire team for a wonderful sailing experience. Our children will always remember their first sailing expedition!
