Our Bareboat or independent charter option gives more experienced sailors
the freedom to sail where, when and however they please. No itinerary
and no set route. A bareboat charter holiday is the ultimate getaway.
Plot your own route around the many picturesque bays, lively little
harbour towns and fishing villages scattered about the coastlines of
our huge sailing areas. Spend as long as you like at any stop, return
to your favourite places over and over, or keep on the move to discover
something new around every point.
Of course, since you’re with Neilson you’ll still have the benefit of
our expertise. Before you depart, our bareboat co-ordinator will go
through the route you’ve planned, pointing out the highlights of your
journey. And it’s always worth picking their brains, because they often
have a nugget of advice that could really make your holiday. And
naturally, they’ll also call or text you each morning to pass on
weather conditions and check that everything on the yacht is as it
should be.
The sailing in the Ionian is particularly good for bareboat charter with longer, quieter passages in the north and lots of opportunity for exploration in the south.
Sailing Experience Levels
Two people aboard each yacht aged 18 years or over must have plenty of
sailing experience, having been in charge of a sailng yacht for several
cruises. Both must be comfortable sailing in a range of conditions. If
this level of experience cannot be satisfied, a Flotilla holiday may be
more appropriate.
Marina and Mooring Fees
You will very rarely need to pay mooring fees in Greece, but if you do it is usually only a few Euros per night and approx €25 in Corfu.
