The total of our fleet disposes the necessary equipment to be considered A level (open sea) blue water – offshore and they have all the amenities like solar panel, usb in every cabin, electric toilets, generator, air condition and many more.
At Ionion Sails every second year we proceed to drastic changes and renewals in the equipment of our Fleet as they are dry- docked for a period of 6 months in our shipyard.

Charter flights and holiday plans do not always align with a strict Saturday-to-Saturday schedule, and we take this into account whenever possible.
At Ionion Sails, we can offer flexibility in embarkation and disembarkation dates, as well as in the overall length of your sailing holiday. For guests who feel that one week is too short but cannot commit to two full weeks, extended options such as a 10-day itinerary can be a practical and enjoyable alternative.
These arrangements are subject to availability based on the previous or following charter, so we invite you to contact our team to explore what options may be possible for your preferred dates.
Ionion Sails has extensive experience working with sailing clubs, supporting group charters, organised flotillas, and repeat collaborations over many years.
We offer tailored packages for clubs and their members, including special conditions, club-specific discounts, and flexible payment terms. Past collaborations include the RSM University Flotilla, SnS Event, ViaMaris Flotilla, and Yam Sailing Flotilla.
All yachts operate from our privately owned piers, with the fleet moored together in one location. This allows for fast check-in and check-out and avoids the complexity and delays often associated with busy, fragmented marinas.
With bases in Lefkas and our new base in Athens, Ionion Sails offers the possibility of carefully planned one-way charters.
You may start your sailing holiday in the Ionian and disembark near Athens, or the other way around. Depending on the chosen route, this can include passage through the Corinth Canal for a distinctive experience, or a longer voyage around the Peloponnese Peninsula.
In April and October, guests also have the opportunity to join our Explorer Flotilla, led by an RYA-certified instructor from Ionian Mode, combining exploration with structured guidance and support.
