Learn to Sail Holidays with Ionion Sails
The Perfect Family Sailing Adventure with Ionion Sails
Imagine the thrill of learning to sail combined with an unforgettable family getaway in one of the world’s most beautiful sailing destinations. With Ionion Sails and Ionion Mode as our certified partner, our Learn to Sail Vacation provides the unique opportunity to master essential sailing skills and explore the idyllic Ionian Islands, all while creating lifelong memories.
Designed for families and small groups of up to five, this vacation combines relaxation with hands-on learning. With an RYA-certified instructor from Ionion Mode on board, you will build the skills and confidence needed to earn your sailing certification while soaking up the beauty of the Ionian Islands at your own pace. This experience is a perfect blend of learning and leisure—sailing by day and enjoying downtime with activities like swimming, snorkeling, and village exploration. Are you ready for adventure, relaxation, or both? We’re here to make it happen.
Whether you are drawn to the thrill of a classic sailing yacht or the comfort and stability of a catamaran, we have the ideal vessel to match your group’s needs. A sailing yacht offers a more traditional, hands-on sailing experience, perfect for those eager to build confidence with sail trimming and manoeuvring.
A catamaran provides stability and comfort for families or those seeking extra space, making it ideal for relaxed, leisurely sailing with room to spread out. Each option can be tailored to suit your adventure!
Your Learn to Sail Vacation with Ionion Sails includes a hands-on sailing course designed to help you build essential techniques needed for your certification.
As you navigate through the enchanting Ionian Islands with Ionion Mode-certified training, you’ll visit destinations like Lefkada, Meganisi, Kalamos, Kastos, Kefalonia, and Ithaca. Our flexible itinerary lets you spend mornings learning and afternoons enjoying your surroundings—swim in crystal-clear waters, dine in charming harbors, or relax onboard.
This family-friendly experience is perfect for beginners, and no prior sailing experience is required, making it accessible for all ages.
For solo travellers eager to embark on a Learn to Sail Vacation, we offer small-group courses ideal for connecting with other aspiring sailors. Together with an RYA-certified instructor from Ionion Mode, you’ll learn the essentials in a supportive, small-group setting, exploring the Ionian Islands as you build confidence and earn your sailing certificate.
Whether you are a beginner or looking to refresh your skills, this group vacation offers the ideal blend of learning, relaxation, and discovery. Make new friends, enjoy the journey, and earn your sailing certificate by the end of the trip!
