Calling all Seafarers
Get off the beaten track with flotillas in unspoilt areas
With 10 flotillas operating in four countries, Seafarer has the options to take you to areas other flotillas don’t go. Twenty-eight years of operating experience hasn’t got in the way of this independent business’s focus on the personal touch, with market-leading customer service, whether you want to join a flotilla, skipper a bareboat, or chill out at a beach club.
WHERE TO SAIL
Seafarer offer the widest range of flotilla destinations of any company, and as an independent family company, it takes customer service personally. It also offers RYA training in Greece, Croatia or the UK, plus worldwide bareboat and cabin charter.
Flotillas are spread throughout the Ionian and Aegean, as well as two in Croatia, two in Turkey and another in Thailand. Wherever you decide to go, this variety allows Seafarer to take you off the usual flotilla routes to discover the authentic, unspoilt coastline of your chosen area. You’ll be led by a lead crew with a wealth of experience to help you make the most of your holiday, whatever your level of experience.
Many of Seafarer’s guests come back year after year, having made good friends with their fellow sailors thanks to small nature of the flotillas the company operates – not usually more than eight boats, but very occasionally, 12.
Alternatively, you can combine a week of dinghy sailing, windsurfing and shore-side relaxation at the Nikiana Beach Club on Lefkada with a week of chartering for a great family holiday.
RELAX AND EXPLORE
If you don’t feel up to skippering your own boat, or want to come by yourself, you’ll be welcome on an AHOY adventure (Apprentice Hands-on Yachting) on a shared yacht. Book your own cabin or bring your friends and fill more cabins. You’ll join a crew of like-minded sailors under the watchful eye of a professional skipper to help you gain experience and confidence as well as relaxing and exploring. Booking early in the year will secure the best deal, whether you’re after an early-season getaway, or in the height of summer.
