Nisos Yacht Charter

Nisos Yacht Charter is a British family owned and run business. We focus on providingbareboat and skippered charters in the Ionian Sea, Greece. Our base is at the village ofPerigalia, on the east coast of Lefkada (Lefkas) island in the centre of the Ionian Sea.

From here you are perfectly placed to either head north up to Corfu and Paxos or southto Meganissi, Ithika, Kefalonia and Zakynthos.

Our base is run by Laurie Campbell, who has over 20 years of chartering experience inthe Ionian. As soon as you arrive at our base (by private taxi) you are in good hands.Laurie and his all British team are there to ensure that your holiday runs smoothly andare contactable at all times in case you need any assistance.

The Ionian is perfect for relaxed cruising holidays. With typical winds of F4, clear warmwaters, flat seas and numerous bays and villages to stop at, it really is the perfect, safeidyllic sailing area.

Our business is highlydependent upon repeatbusiness, reputation andrecommendations – this onlycomes from supplying qualityyachts and a quality personalservice.


Bareboat Charters

Exploring the Ionian islands on your own yacht,with no restrictions on when and where you cango, is the ultimate way to spend your sailingholiday. This is what bareboat sailing is all about.

You pick up the yacht from our base, and after athorough briefing on the safety aspects andoperation of the yacht and a briefing on the sailingarea, you are free to leave. The majority of ourclients leave our base on the day of arrival.

You can keep in touch with us by VHF or mobilephone throughout the week if required, to getweather updates and itinerary ideas. At the end ofthe week you return the yacht to base on themorning of departure.

In a one or two week holiday you can explore theislands of Lefkas, Meganissi, Kefalonia, Ithica andKalamos. If you wish to go further afield, Corfuand Paxos to the north and Zakynthos to the southare all achievable.

What if we need assistance?

If at any time during your trip you needassistance then we are on call 24 hours aday. We have a fast RIB (the ex Sidmouthinshore life boat) on standby, and can bewith you very quickly.

What qualifications do I need to go bareboat?

Ideally the skipper should have an RYA Day Skipper practical and theory certificate oran ICC. If you do not hold any qualifications, then do not despair – give us a call andtalk us through your experience. If there is any uncertainty then we advise that askipper accompanies you for a day or two to ensure that you are happy and safe!


Assisted Bareboat Charters

The Assisted Bareboat Charter programme was set up at the request ofclients, who wanted the freedom offered by a bareboat charter, but with thesafety net the flotillas provide. It ran for the first time in the summer of 2006and has been a tremendous success.

How it works

We place a maximum of five yachts into a mini flotilla group, with a lead boat(which is usually doing some training) and lead crew. There will be a setitinerary which will be designed in conjunction with yourselves, and the leadcrew will be at the pre-determined destination each evening to ensure that youget a safe berth for the night.

With only five yachts to look after, the lead crew can give you the time andattention which you deserve, and you are free to arrive at the destination whenyou like – so that you can stay out and enjoy the late afternoon/early eveningwinds.

The lead crew will encourage you to think like you are sailing bareboat, but willbe there to advise on suitable berths, and to help out if things get a little out ofhand….!

If at anytime, you wish to leave the group, then you are free to do so.

The costs

The cost for participating on the Assisted Bareboat Scheme is only £200 perboat per week on top of the normal bareboat price.


Skippered Charters

For those who want to learn to sail or just havesomeone do the hard work for them, then why not takeone of our skippers on board with you?

Our British skippers have lived and worked in the areafor a number of years, and know the all the places togo, so that you get the most out of the holiday.

If you want to learn to sail, then they will have yousailing the boat on your own within the week, with justthe skipper keeping a watchful eye on proceedings.

The skipper will require their own berth on the boatand will sleep onboard. We realise that this is yourholiday, and the skippers are very conscious that youhave your own time together and try and factor in yourdesires and wishes as much as possible.

A typical day will include sailing to a new destinationevery evening, with a good lunch stop for snorkellingand swimming in beautiful bays. You will visit a newvillage every evening.

A skipper costs £80 per day. It is expected that theyare included in your eating plans.

“Dave Hodge the skipper, wasexcellent. We had doubtsabout how a stranger would fitin with our holiday, especiallyin the close company of a boat,but Dave's relaxed and obligingattitude worked out just fine.His knowledge of the area,ports and tavernas wasexcellent. Shame he did notcatch us any fish though!" -Jerry Horton and family(Papillon - June 06)

Bareboat Prices – 2007 season (per week per boat)


Spring / Winter Charters

Out of season sailing – massive savings!

The typical season in the Ionian runs from the beginning of May to the end of October.This is driven by our local airport – Preveza Airport, which closes outside of this period.

The sailing outside of this season can be fantastic. Incredible scenery, mountainousislands and the whole Ionian pretty much to yourselves!

We keep a few of our boats in the water over the winter for the owners use, and we canmake them available for clients as well, at a much reduced price. For example, CloudNine, Bavaria 44 (4 cabin) for £800 per week (normal low season price is £1,600).

Travel to the Ionian will need to be via Athens and hire car, which we can help to organise.

We have devised pre charter courses with two UK partner sailing schools, which cover thebasics you may need in the Ionian - All Points West in Swansea and Total Sailing in
