⛵ 𝗫𝗩𝗜 𝗕𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘀 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮

Do you know what “Flotilla” means?

The word comes from the Spanish flota, meaning “fleet”, with the diminutive suffix -illa. Literally, it means “a small fleet”.

In reality, however, the 𝗕𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘀 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮 is much more than a small fleet.

It is an organised sailing experience where yachts travel together, follow a shared route, take part in daily briefings, receive support from an experienced lead crew and cover real nautical miles across Greece.

🌊 For those who love sailing, a flotilla is not just a trip.
It is freedom, teamwork, seamanship and the unique feeling of being part of a fleet moving together.

XV Bonus Miles Flotilla | Leg 3
2 May – 9 May
From Lavrio to Preveza

The spring edition of the XV Bonus Miles Flotilla has officially come to an end, completing a remarkable sailing journey across some of Greece’s most iconic coastal landscapes and island destinations.

The third and final leg of the XV Bonus Miles Flotilla connected the Cyclades with the dramatic coastline and hidden gems of southern and western Peloponnese.

Departing from Lavrio, the fleet sailed south towards the historic fortress town of Monemvasia, where medieval scenery met the deep blue waters of the Aegean.

Continuing along the southern Peloponnese, the flotilla explored remote anchorages, open-sea passages and some of Greece’s most iconic sailing landscapes. The stop at Porto Kagio offered a true highlight of the route, surrounded by the wild beauty and authentic character of the Mani peninsula.

Sailing westward, the journey continued towards the Ionian Sea, reaching the legendary island of Ithaca, homeland of Odysseus and one of the most atmospheric sailing destinations in Greece.

The final passage led the fleet north to Preveza, where the XV Bonus Miles Flotilla officially concluded on May 9th, after completing a diverse route through the Aegean and Ionian seas.

In total, the third leg combined historic ports, southern Peloponnese exploration, open-water sailing and the unique transition between two of Greece’s most iconic sailing regions.

More than a route. A complete Greek sailing experience.

See you again in autumn.

XV Bonus Miles Flotilla | Leg 2

23 April – 2 May
From Platanias Pelion to Lavrio

The second leg of the XV Bonus Miles Flotilla delivered a complete sailing experience across the Aegean Sea, connecting the lush green islands of the Sporades with the raw, iconic character of the Cyclades.

Departing from Platanias Pelion, the fleet sailed through Skiathos, Skopelos and Neo Klima (Elios), before continuing to Skyros, where the route opened into more demanding sea conditions.

Sailing south via Kymi, the flotilla transitioned from the protected waters of the Sporades to the more exposed and wind-driven environment of the central Aegean.

The arrival in Andros marked a key highlight of the journey, blending strong maritime heritage with authentic Cycladic character. From there, the fleet continued towards its final destination, reaching Lavrio on May 2nd.

In total, the flotilla covered over 200 nautical miles, combining sheltered cruising, open-sea passages and shifting wind conditions — a true expression of sailing in the Aegean.

From green landscapes to Cycladic blue.
From calm bays to open sea.

More than a route. A complete Aegean sailing experience.

Με επιτυχία ολοκληρώθηκε το πρώτο σκέλος της ΧV Bonus Miles Flotilla στον Πλατανιά,Πηλίου.

Στις 25 Απριλίου, πραγματοποιήθηκε το πρώτο σκέλος της XV Bonus Miles Flotilla, μια διοργάνωση του Ιστιοπλοϊκού Ομίλου Βορείου Αιγαίου (Ι.Ο.Β.Α.) και της UCaptain Academy, με την υποστήριξη της Northsailing και σε στρατηγική συνεργασία με την Athenian Yachts,η οποία κατέπλευσε στον Πλατανιά Πηλίου, συγκεντρώνοντας 70 ιστιοπλόους από οκτώ χώρες.

Η φλοτίλα απέπλευσε από την Κεραμωτή Kαβάλας ακολουθώντας μια εντυπωσιακή διαδρομή στο Βόρειο Αιγαίο που συνδύασε ανοιχτές θαλάσσιες διαδρομές και στάσεις σε εμβληματικούς νησιωτικούς προορισμούς. Συγκεκριμένα, το πρώτο σκέλος περιλάμβανε τους σταθμούς: Λιμενάρια – Μύρινα – Αλόννησος – Σκόπελος – Σκιάθος – Πλατανιάς, προσφέροντας στους συμμετέχοντες μια ολοκληρωμένη εμπειρία ιστιοπλοΐας.

Η συγκεκριμένη στάση αποτέλεσε μία από τις πιο ξεχωριστές στιγμές της διοργάνωσης, καθώς ο Πλατανιάς Πηλίου εντυπωσίασε τους επισκέπτες με την αυθεντικότητα και την παρθένα ομορφιά του.

Οι συμμετέχοντες είχαν την ευκαιρία να απολαύσουν εικόνες σπάνιας φυσικής ομορφιάς, παραδοσιακή αρχιτεκτονική και μια αίσθηση αυθεντικότητας που παραμένει αναλλοίωτη στον χρόνο,σε συνδυασμό με τη γνήσια φιλοξενία των κατοίκων, ανέδειξαν τον Πλατανιά ως έναν ανεξερεύνητο «θησαυρό» του ελληνικού θαλάσσιου τουρισμού.

Θα θέλαμε να εκφράσουμε τις θερμές μας ευχαριστίες προς τον Δήμαρχο Νοτίου Πηλίου κ. Μιτζικό Μιχαήλ και τον Αντιδήμαρχο κ. Μανέτα Βασίλη για τη φιλοξενία και τη στήριξή τους στην υλοποίηση της δράσης, καθώς και προς τους επαγγελματίες της περιοχής του οικισμού Πλατανιά για την άψογη εξυπηρέτηση, τη συμβολή τους στην τοπική εμπειρία και τη θερμή υποδοχή των συμμετεχόντων.

Η διοργάνωση συνεχίζεται, με τη φλοτίλα να κατευθύνεται προς το νότιο Αιγαίο, ενισχύοντας τη δυναμική της ιστιοπλοΐας ως μέσου τουριστικής ανάπτυξης και βιωματικής εμπειρίας στο ελληνικό θαλάσσιο τοπίο.
