Testimonials

Excellent bareboat charter.

Great communication from Spiros who was also flexible with our travel arrangements. . Personal welcome when we arrived and relaxing 1-1 check-in to get our yacht. Our yacht was in great condition and loaded with extra items not usually seen on a charter boat. We had a great weeks sailing around the Ionian Islands on a great boat. Definitely will charter again, Highly recommend. --- Bareboat charter May 2017

very friendly and helpful

same as 2019, we came back to Spiros and his team to charter in ionian sea. sun odyssee 33i from 2015, but well maintained and in good conditions great holidays, great service, always friendly and helpful for any request. sure we come back to Spiros!

Excellent and responsive organisation — May 2019

The bareboat charter was excellently managed. Spiros and Bouchra responded promptly to all queries and gained immediately our confidence to invest our charter fee way up-front. Having got to know them at pickup we were sorry not to have had time to see more of them - the beautiful weather in Kefalonia called us away immediately onto the high seas. The boat (Bavaria 46, 2015) was in immaculate condition, and we would warmly recommend the personal attention afforded by Spiros and Bouchra to any other prospective charterers. We hope to charter again through them. Clement and the Magnificent Five. Bavaria 46, 2015, MAY 2018

Flexible, trustworthy and great service!

Sailing from Kefalonia, a new boat, last minute, flexibel, a fair price,friendly and a trustworthy kind company - all our wishes were met thanks to Spiros! We had a fantastic holiday, away from the crowd and we felt save and relaxed on the boat because of the open and honest communication with Spiros. Highly recommended! Thanks again Spiros!

Catamaran charter – August 2018

I would like to inform our satisfaction about the week we spended with catamaran odysseas. The boat was in excellent condtons and the places we visited very nice..Certainly we’ll back in this area supported by your organization. ---- Lagoon 450, August 2018

A great experience

I can’t speak highly enough of Spiros and his attitude and approach. From his first email to the handshake goodbye, Spiros was friendly, efficient, responsive and honest. He found us exactly the type of boat we needed; he was there to meet us at the airport; he and his team were always available on the phone when we had questions; and when we did have a little problem with the anchor, he did all he could to resolve the issue as quickly and painlessly as possible. You always worry when dealing with a company many miles away with something as important as a holiday involving paying for an expensive boat: I can say with confidence that Spiros and his team are entirely trustworthy and won’t let you down. Happy sailing! --- Bareboat Charter September 2017

September 2018 Ionian Cruise

Our first cruise in the Ionian, and what a great time we had. The weather was kind & the boat reliable, well equipped and just right for four adults, and our adorable 14 month old grand daughter Nancy. We chartered a Bavaria 39 from Sami, which wasn’t the newest on the block, but well presented, clean and tidy with the massive benefit of Solar Panels which made a massive difference - fridge on 24/7, what a luxury. Well done guys for providing a well priced, great service. Kind Regards from us all in England, Clive, Sarah, Truan, Charlotte & young Nancy.

Yacht & Catamaran Charter in Kefalonia, Greece

We can help you find the perfect yacht or catamaran to sail from Kefalonia!

Sailing from Kefalonia

Kefalonia is one of the most beautiful islands in the world, and it's even better when viewed from the sea - sailing around it's beaches, cliffs, forests and bays is idyllic. The whole of the Ionian islands are a joy to sail around, with guaranteed sunshine and reliable winds, but Kefalonia is often the island which is the most memorable, and one which you'll have to keep coming back to.

From Sami, our base in Kefalonia, you can visit Ithaki (the home of the legendary Odysseus), the beautiful beach villages of Sivota and Meganissi, the fishing village of Astakos, and the pretty architecture of Fiskardo. Some people come to the Ionian year on year - there's nothing quite so relaxing and magnificent as sailing here. We can help you find and book your ideal yacht or catamaran, with one of our trusted Charter Partners - just get in touch or search in the pink box with live prices and availability !

6-day Sailing Itinerary from Kefalonia

From Kefalonia, or the village of Sami, there’s options to explore more of Kefalonia and visit Argostoli, or to head South to Zakynthos, but most people choose to head around the Southern Ionian islands, where there’s sunshine, good winds, and a fine mix of exciting islands to explore – in fact, there are so many of them, and they’re so close together, one of the issues in arranging an itinerary is finding ways to actually get some sailing done.

Given the Force 3 to 6 winds, you’d expect the average yacht or catamaran to be able to hit speeds over at least five knots, which means that the sailing aspect should only take three to four hours a day – which leaves plenty of time to explore your starting or finishing point each day, or to bimble around, explore bays as you pass them, or take your time to breakfast and lunch at your leisure. All in all, it should make for a relaxing holiday, and you shouldn’t find yourself racing against the clock.  

It’s also a simple enough day for navigation – point yourself out of Sami bay, and you’ll spot another island, which we’re going turn to starboard and follow it’s coastline round (keeping the coast on the port side of the yacht) until we reach our destination. The prevailing summer wind is a North or North-westerly, which follows the coastline of the Greek mainland, so you’ll likely be beating into the wind at first, then reaching around the bottom of Ithaki, then beating back up to the village of Vathi, before reaching and running into and down Vathi bay when you get there.

As you head down the bay to Vathi look out for some old cannons which are still in situ from the days of the Venetian empire. They’re pretty dormant now, but just imagine the damage they could do to your modern ship as you sail by. Arriving in Vathi is pretty special – the whole town is built up on the hillside around the marina which makes it feel like you’re almost arriving in the centre of a giant amphitheatre.

The island of Itaki (or Ithaca as it is known in English) is most famous for being the birthplace and home of Homer’s legendary Odysseus, who took part in the battle of Troy in 800 BC. Local archaeologists recently discovered a three-storey palace which dates to about the same era and claimed it was once Odysseus’ palace. That suggests that he wasn’t fictional, and, if you believe that, then this week you should look out for sirens, minotaurs and ladies with snakes instead of hair. Vathi has a reasonable range of shops and restaurants to explore.  

If time is on your side, you could stop at the white sands of Gidaki beach on your starboard side on your way off Ithaki, or there’s beaches just off Drakonera as you get closer to Astakos. You will likely be broad reaching against the prevailing winds, so your crew can stay seated and rest easy for most of the day.

Despite being on the mainland, Astakos is a quiet little village, which, being in the middle of nowhere, is dependent on fishing at sea and growing grapes on land – hence the food and drink here is usually exceptional. They’re a friendly bunch in town, and there are some great beaches nearby.  

Sivota is at the end of a narrow-ish bay. It’s a beautiful place, with white limestone cliffs, sandy bays, turquoise seas and classic Greek white-washes houses all surrounded by forests of pine. If it wasn’t for the fact that this was popular with land-lubbing tourists, then this would be idyllic. However, the land-lubbers add to the atmosphere as night falls – by day, the village is sleepy, but after dusk the tourists all leave their all-inclusive resorts in search of authentic Greek bars, tavernas and cuisine – which means that evenings can be quite lively, and there’s a strong chance you’ll end up doing some Greek circle-dancing if you have a few drinks.

Outside of the bars, it’s a serene and blissful place to spend the night.  

We can also take some time to check out a natural wonder near Sivota. Heading pretty much directly East from Sivota, you’ll find the cave of Papanikolis on the coast of Meganissi. This is the second largest cave in the whole of Europe (it’s over 120m long!) and has a history of being used by local sailors to hide from pirates, and, later, as the hiding place for the Papanikolis submarine during world war two.

Following the coastline round, there’s plenty to explore on the back of Meganissi, and, in fact, the island is so small that if you dropped someone off on a beach on the South of the island, they could walk across the island to Vathy a lot faster than you can sail there (so they can go and get the shopping in). Vathy is the quietest of the villages on Meganissi, but is also fast becoming a tourist destination in its own right. It has a number of tavernas along the waterfront, and is a perfect example of a typical Greek island town. This is what a Mediterranean sailing holiday is all about.  

Fiskardo is a glamourous fishing village come tourist town with colourful houses and a bohemian atmosphere, and is very popular with sailors. The harbour is right in the centre of town and so close to bars and restaurants that if they were full, you could probably persuade them to walk an extra few metres and get them to serve you on your own boat.

It’s a cute town and also an ideal place to stock up on souvenirs of Kefalonia (if you haven’t already).  

To get back to base in Sami it’s a very straightforward South-easterly sail down the channel between Ithaki and Kefalonia. You could go around the whole of the island of Ithaki if you’re feeling ambitious, but there’s plenty enough bays and places to explore on the short route (such as Agia Sofia or Chorgota beach, amongst others) that you’ll find the day passes by quick enough as it is. You’ll likely be sailing with the prevailing wind behind you too, so you might be running slower than earlier in the week.

Take the boat back to the berth where you found it in the harbour, and the charter company will arrange for the tanks to be refuelled by a mobile tanker. Another benefit of not heading to one of the big charter bases is that you won’t be having to wait with tens of other boats in a chaotic queue to use a single fuel berth, so enjoy that.

The charter company might come and inspect the boat, but you can stay on it for the night – which means you couldn’t be better located for enjoying the food and nightlife of Sami. If you haven’t yet explored the town, then now is a good time to do so, and you’ll quickly realise that this was the place where they filmed Captain Corelli’s Mandolin (because they certainly don’t make a secret of it).

And then it’s the end of your sunny and super-relaxing week. It’s time to get a transfer and an aeroplane and head back to civilisation, which will seem even further from small Greek fishing villages than you can imagine. But don’t worry – you can come back here whenever you choose. It’s great if everyone on the boat is already talking about what you're going to do next year, and if that’s the case (of course it is!), then check out some of the other destination guides for some inspiration of where to head for your next big adventure. See you soon!  

Sailing Conditions

In summer, the winds tend to be between Force 3 and Force 6, which is optimal for filling the sails and getting the sense of exhilaration that only heeling over in a big boat out at sea can bring. Those wind speeds also mean you should be able to make a decent way, and it's not unthinkable to get over eight knots out of the winds when it's a good day. The reliable winds also help to keep sailors cool when they're out at sea.

The prevailing summer winds arrive from the North, following the coastline down from Croatia, past Corfu, and whistling through the Ionian islands. If you're heading towards Patras from Kefalonia, you might also notice some winds arriving from the West, which will shoot down the channel to the Saronic gulf.

Marina Details - Sami port, Kefalonia

Sami port is, as the name suggests, the main port for the village of Sami, which means you'll be able to watch fishing vessels and ferries going about their business from the deck of your yacht or catamaran. It’s also only a few hundred metres to a fabulous beach at Antisamos.

Being a port, there aren't all the facilities you might expect from a yacht marina, but the port is right in the middle of the village, which means you can literally hop off your boat and into a shop, bar or restaurant. It also has another advantage - because it's so small, it really feels like you're sailing well off the beaten track, even before you get started!

If your flights don’t match you sailing holiday, you might need to spend a night or two on land at the start or end of your holiday. We recommend Remezzo Apartments or the higher-class Penelope Villas .

The De Bosset Bridge & obelisk were first constructed in 1813 by Swiss engineer Charles Philippe De Bosset, who built it for the British empire. It was built out of convenience to connect Argostoli with Drapano on the other side of the bay. Before the bridge was built, people had to take the route South in order to reach the other city, making this bridge incredibly convenient. The obelisk which was originally inscribed with a phrase praising the British empire, but has long since disappeared.

Learn more about the prehistoric and ancient history of Kefalonia in the Archaeological Museum in Argostoli. At some point in time the Romans were ruling over the island which you can witness in the Roman Villa of Skala . The preserved artistic floors give us a glimpse of what a Roman villa in this region looked like in its days of glory.

Discover mystical Kefalonia

Just like the other Greek islands, Kefalonia is also surrounded by ancient Greek myths and legends. The first king of Kefalonia, Taphius, is said to have been the son of Poseidon. Many Greek myths associated their rulers with being related to the Greek gods. Taphius' son and Poseidon’s grandson named Pterelaus was made immortal by his grandfather with one golden hair. The only condition to remain immortal was it needed to stay on his head. Losing his golden hair would mean death.

Sailing conditions in Kefalonia

The summer months July and August are the most popular months to travel to Kefalonia. Greek tourists as well as those travelling from abroad fill the island with life. Temperatures can reach 40 degrees and water temperatures can get to 24 degrees, making Kefalonia the perfect destination for a summer sailing vacation. If you want to avoid the tourist crowds, you should travel to the island in September when the weather is still warm, but not too hot.

Sailing season in Kefalonia and the Ionian islands is from May to October, but July and August are the most popular months.

How much does it cost to rent a boat in Kefalonia?

The price of your boat rental in Kefalonia can vary depending on the type of boat, the size of the boat, the amount of people joining you, the season and amenities on board. Also, keep in mind that hiring a skipper in addition to your bareboat charter in Kefalonia might come with extra costs, but also with more free time to enjoy your sailing vacation on the Greek islands. But don’t worry! Greece is one of the cheapest sailing destinations in the Mediterranean.

On average, renting a sailboat in Greece costs as little as 50 EUR per person per day. Renting a motorboat in Greece will cost you 190 EUR per person per day on average. A catamaran will be a little cheaper at an average price of 150 EUR per person per day. Rent a gulet in Greece for an average price of 105 EUR per person per day and a RIB for 93 EUR per person per day. As you can see it doesn’t have to cost you a fortune to go on a boat holiday in Greece. And remember: These are average prices, so you might even find cheaper deals - especially when booking your sailing vacation during shoulder season.

What type of boat is best for sailing in Kefalonia?

Depending on the type of sailing holiday you want to experience, you should choose your boat wisely. If you want to explore the beautiful hidden beaches and caves that Kefalonia and the other Ionian islands have to offer, you might regret renting a sailboat later on.

Rent a catamaran in Kefalonia

Pros of renting a catamaran on the Ionian islands

One advantage of renting a catamaran on the Ionian islands is the fact that they come with a shallow draft and not a keel. This makes them the perfect choice for an adventure to discover the most beautiful remote beaches on the island as well as stunning caves like Melissani Cave . Catamarans are great for sailing in shallow waters. This also allows you to anchor closer to the shore than with a sailboat. You won’t have to worry about hitting something that is hidden underwater and get to enjoy a fun day out at a more secluded beach like Kaminia beach which is known to be a nesting spot for the beautiful loggerhead turtles Carretta.

Another advantage of renting a catamaran in this part of the Mediterranean is the fact that they stand on two hulls. This gives the boats a lot of stability and means that it will be less shaky to stay on the boat.

One really amazing thing about catamarans is the fact that they are equipped with a sail AND an engine. This means that you can sail when the wind is blowing and use the engine to move forward when the wind suddenly stops blowing. You are getting the best of both worlds - comfort and adventure!

Catamarans are not available for rent in Kefalonia, but you can rent them this type of boat on another of the Ionian islands and sail over to Kefalonia to get the full experience, for example in Lefkas city: Catamaran rental in Lefkada

Cons of renting a catamaran on the Ionian islands

One of the downsides of renting a catamaran is the fact that they can be bigger in size than other types of water vehicles. This makes it difficult to find a spot for mooring in the marinas - especially during the incredibly busy summer months.

Rent a sailboat in Kefalonia

Pros of renting a sailboat in Kefalonia

One of the advantages of renting a sailboat in Kefalonia is the fact that you don’t need an engine to drive your boat. You can simply use the wind as your natural fuel. And you’re lucky: The Greek islands are generally blessed with ideal sailing conditions. If you just want to relax on your vacation rather than sail yourself or don’t have a boat licence, you can always hire a skipper in addition to your bareboat charter.

Chartering a sailboat also means that you want to enjoy the actual sailing experience rather than chase the most beautiful beach or cave. You get to feel the wind on your skin and will be incredibly content to sail in this part of the Mediterranean. Unlike the Cyclades, which are waters that are a bit more challenging to tackle, the Ionian islands offer ideal wind conditions while being beginner friendly.

One of the most popular AND beautiful sailboats to rent in Kefalonia is Sailboat Ocean Star 51,2 . Up to 18 people fit onto this gorgeous water vehicle, making it the perfect boat to bring all your friends together for a fun summer vacation. Offering both heating and air conditioning means that you can sail in the hot summer months as well as in the winter without having to worry about freezing or melting. Another amenity on the boat is the sundeck which allows you to sunbathe on the boat. Due to the necessary sailing equipment that has to be stored on deck, there is usually not enough space to do so, making something so simple a real luxury.

Cons of renting a sailboat in Kefalonia

One of the downsides of renting a sailboat is the fact that they are solely dependent on the wind. If it suddenly stops blowing, you might find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea. It can be very frustrating. However, you shouldn’t worry about it too much as the wind conditions are generally quite good in this part of the Mediterranean.

Rent a motorboat in Kefalonia

Pros of renting a motorboat in Kefalonia

One of the advantages of renting a sailboat in Kefalonia is the fact that motorboats are generally faster than other types of boats. If you want to see as much as possible from the island and its surrounding, you should go for this type of boat.

Another advantage is the shallow draft of motorboats. This makes them the perfect water vehicle to explore the many hidden beaches and caves around the island. Why don’t you head over to Melissani Cave or Foki Fiskardo beach ?

One of the most popular motorboats to rent in Kefalonia is Motorboat Thunderbird Marine Formula 370ss which offers enough space for up to 10 people. One of the best things about renting this motorboat is the fact that it comes with a captain who is going to sail you to all the amazing destinations around Kefalonia and beyond.

Cons of renting a motorboat in Kefalonia

One of the disadvantages of renting a motorboat in Kefalonia is the fact that fuel is expensive. Especially when you aim to see as much as possible of the island and its surroundings, it can come with a hefty price tag. After all, fuel prices are increasing like crazy and they won’t drop in the foreseeable future.

Motorboat rental in Kefalonia

Charter a luxury yacht in Kefalonia

The Greek islands regularly attract the rich and famous who love sailing on luxury yachts. If you have the funds and want to feel like a celebrity for a week, you should consider chartering a private luxury yacht in Kefalonia for seven days. One of the nicest luxury boats to rent here is the Motorboat Cruisers 440 which is available for pick-up in Argostoli Yacht Marina, Argostólion .

What kind of boat license do you need when renting a boat in Kefalonia?

If you want to rent a small boat with less than 30hp, you don’t need a boat licence to rent it in Greece. If you want to rent a bigger boat in Kefalonia, you need to be in possession of a valid boat licence. Boat licences of EU-residents are automatically valid in Greek waters while boat licence holders of non-EU-countries are not as lucky. Their boat licences need to fulfill the same requirements as Greek boat licences in order to be accepted in Greece. If your boat licence is in another language than English or Greek, you need to ensure that you carry an official translation of your licence in either Greek or English.

If you want to be on the safe side, you should carry the International Certificate of Competency or short ICC .

Sailing routes in Kefalonia

The Greek island of Ithaca is just a stone’s throw away from Kefalonia, making it the perfect destination for a sailing adventure. Sail around the island of Kefalonia in seven days, but stop in Ithaca for a whole day to discover the lush green forests, picturesque fishing villages and stunning caves.

Start your sailing adventure in Fiskardo, in the North of Kefalonia, where you get to admire the picturesque houses, the old port and the lush green surroundings. Fiskardo Beach is not far from the city and offers stunning views out into the Mediterranean. For some extra fun, you should put snorkeling or kayaking on your bucket list when visiting Fiskardo.

Foki beach is another stunning beach in Kefalonia where you can swim as well as snorkel. It is a pretty secluded spot, but one that is well-known, so you might end up being surrounded by a few groups of other tourists enjoying this little piece of paradise. If you get hungry, you can head to the road to get a quick bite in the local taverna.

Agia Sofia beach in Kefalonia should be on your bucket list as well. This wonderful little beach is perfect for swimming with kids as it doesn’t get too steep too quickly when entering the water. Snorkelling and swimming are popular activities in this part of Kefalonia.

Your next stop is Agia Effimia , a place that is going to charm you with its beautiful houses, hilly landscapes and old fortresses. Not far from this little town is Sikidi Beach, where you can admire the unique rock formations.

Next up is Sami , a little town where you can moor for the night while enjoying an incredible sunset amongst the mountainous landscape that is filled with pine trees. It is the second biggest port in Kefalonia, so you get to enjoy the hustle and bustle for a bit before heading out to some more secluded areas. Get a nice traditional Greek dinner before calling it a night.

Antisamos is probably best known for its long and sandy beach. Swim in the stunning blue waters or try out some snorkeling.

Poros in the South East of the island is your next destination. It is the perfect place for a fun place by the beach and savour some delicious Greek food. Mooring here is not an easy undertaking, but if you found a spot, you can call yourself lucky.

Argostoli , the beautiful capital of Kefalonia, is a wonderful town where you get to see some colorful houses, admire the emerald colour of the sea and explore some interesting historical sites like the De Bosset Bridge and the obelisk .

Assos is in a bit of an unusual spot in the North of Kefalonia. This Venetian town is famous for its stunning rocky surroundings and its picturesque setting. Watching the sunset in this part of Kefalonia is magical.
