We had a very special day in 📍Little Vathi, as we celebrated Rowan’s 6th birthday!! 🥳

Our crews enjoyed a great day sailing and exploring before heading to the pontoon. We had lots of fun getting competitive with beach games during the afternoon (adults vs kids - it was close but the kids were the winners!) before a lovely group meal at Karnagio’s taverna…complete with birthday decorations, colouring and lots of cake! 🏓🎂🎈🎉

It was a lovely opportunity for everyone to chat, laugh and enjoy some delicious food. ☺️🍽️

After Little Vathi, we had a very nice stop in 📍Sivota! Once again, everyone enjoyed really tasty dinners, as well as nice swims at the beach and, for some, a drink and a boogie at the bar to finish the night. The bakery was also a big hit in the morning! 🥖🥐🍻

From Sivota we sailed to lovely 📍Kioni for the first time this season! This popular spot was a favourite for our sailors, who enjoyed exploring the handmade jewellery shops and tavernas along the front as well as swimming in the beautiful water. 💍🌊

We also had a lot of fun at our rooftop bar quiz - there was lots of laughter and the scores were close, but well done to Tucana for being our champions! 🏆😂🍹

We all had a lovely time in 📍Mongonissi! Along with the delicious food, beautiful waterfront taverna and twinkling lights, we had an absolute blast playing on the beach and joining in with the traditional Greek dancing! ✨🕺 🏖️

It was wonderful to see everyone having so much fun - a special shoutout goes to the children we have with us this flotilla who had a great time getting involved and dancing the night away! 👯‍♀️🪩

From Mongonissi, we had our passage from north to south…it was Bridge Day! 🥳

With a lovely sunrise we made our way to the 📍Lefkas Bridge and all passed through the canal super smoothly. ⛵️ Sofia did us proud with their brilliant Simpsons-inspired outfits! 😁

We then arrived at our next destination, peaceful 📍Spartachori! It was the perfect place to relax after an adventurous day, with our crews having a nice time swimming in the harbour and walking up to the village before finishing the evening at the taverna. 🐟

After Mandraki, we had a lovely stop in the fishing village📍Petriti. The sunny weather and fresh fruit on arrival made for a really nice day, which was topped off with tasty meals at the tavernas along the waterfront. 🌊

Following Petriti, we went to the gorgeous 📍Refuge Bay! Once again we were treated to crystal clear waters, delicious food and incredible views, as well as a beautiful sunset. 🌅🐟

📍Parga was our next destination, where we got a second opportunity for this flotilla to beach our boats! 🏖️⛵️

Our crews did some expert manoeuvring, then had a fun time swimming and paddling in the water. A few crews wandered up to the Venetian fortress to explore and were amazed by the beautiful vista! 🏰

We caught the water taxi from our boats and spent the evening having a cocktail briefing together, with a gorgeous view over the bay, before enjoying yet more delicious meals in the town! 🍹🍴

Next stop: 📍Mongonissi!

We have had a fun and busy start to our next flotilla! 😊

After starting in Plateria, we sailed to 📍Iggy Creek - a lovely, secluded bay. It was an exciting stop, especially as we had the opportunity to beach our boats! 🏖️

We also enjoyed beach games with Lead Boat Zephy’s flotilla (Team Elpida won the tug of war! 🥳🥇), as well as a delicious barbecue group meal at the taverna and showing off our best moves on the dance floor to finish a fantastic day. 🕺💃🪩

Following Iggy Creek, and after spotting some dolphins en route, we went to another beautiful location which was new for many of our crews…📍Mandraki! 🐬🌺 The old fortress and its impressive walls were the perfect setting for our punch party, where we all got to know each other better!🍹

Our crews were blown away by the walk through the fortress on their way into Corfu town, which they also thoroughly enjoyed exploring as they tried lots of fantastic restaurants for their dinners! 🏰🍽️

Our second flotilla absolutely flew by and what a wonderful time we had!! 🥳⛵️

Our penultimate stop was 📍Mandraki, where our crews loved the incredible setting at the base of the fortress and had a fantastic time exploring Corfu town. We had lots of cheers when revealing this location so it was lovely to see everyone enjoying it so much! 🏰

After that, we headed to 📍Plataria and had a fantastic group meal to finish off a fab couple of weeks together. We all enjoyed the tasty food and another beautiful sunset, as well as celebrating Paul’s birthday and having SO many laughs during our award ceremony - the perfect way to reminisce on a great holiday! 😂🍾🥇🌅

Thank you to our crews for being so brilliant and fun, we will miss you all very much and hope to see you out here again soon! ❤️⛵️

We have just had an absolutely lovely stop in 📍Refuge Bay at the Sivota Retreat Hotel pontoon!

After a relaxing and sunny day on the water, our whole flotilla was blown away by the beauty of this bay. Some of us even spotted a lizard wandering over the steps! 😍🦎

We all enjoyed digging into an all-you-can-eat buffet dinner last night on a private terrace and were stunned by the gorgeous views and incredible sunset! 🌅

Everyone was equally happy to enjoy those incredible views again with a buffet breakfast this morning before our briefing. 🍳🥞🥝🍎

📍 After days of our crews trying to guess, the hotly anticipated next stop has now been revealed and our flotilla is delighted; we’re off to Mandraki to explore Corfu town! 🥳

Having reached the North, our first stop was the peaceful little harbour of 📍Mongonissi. It was the perfect place to relax after our passage through the Lefkas Canal and we all enjoyed the beautiful dinner setting, looking out over the beach at the taverna. 🌅

After Mongonissi we visited the beautiful and bustling town of 📍Parga, where our crews thoroughly enjoyed the unique experience of beaching our boats! 🏖️

There was so much to explore around the town and everyone loved the incredibly tasty food on offer. 🍽️ Getting the water taxi between the town and our boats was another unique experience for this stop! 🚤

We then sailed to the lovely town of 📍Lakka! 🌸After a busy day of sailing, it was great to unwind at our cocktail briefing before heading into the winding streets to enjoy yet more tasty dinners at the various tavernas. 🍹

Following Frikes, we had a great stay in 📍Kalamos. Some of our flotilla had a lovely lunch stop visiting the adorable pigs and piglets in One House Bay en route. 🐷

We all enjoyed the lovely food in Kalamos and got our thinking caps on for our quiz! Faidra got the bonus point for best team name, but it was the team made from Tucana, Lepiana and Elius who pipped them to the post and won the prize! 🏆

After Kalamos, we went to the lovely 📍Little Vathi and saw some expert sailing from our crews - especially Kiato who were flying through the waves! 👏

Our crews enjoyed walking into the town and meeting up for a few drinks during the afternoon, before a fantastic group meal at Karnagio’s taverna! We had a lot of laughs and are all really enjoying getting to know one another.🍻🍽️

We then ventured through the 📍Lefkas Bridge, saying farewell to the South Ionian and hello to the North! It was an exciting experience for all our crews and the whole fleet looked great going through the canal!⛵️

We also had fun dressing up for the occasion, as per tradition! 😂🥳

From Fiskardo, we sailed to the beautiful 📍Spartachori. We had a fantastic punch party on the quay where we got to know each other better, before enjoying the lovely sunset and tasty dinners - where the chats and laughter amongst our crews continued. 🤗

After Spartachori, we made our way to 📍Frikes. Our sailors had a great time exploring this pretty harbour, having amazing meals at the tavernas and mingling again later at the bar! 🍻

We’ve been off to a flying start on our new flotilla! ⛵️

From our base in 📍Nidri, we had a perfect first day sailing to super📍Sivota. We all really enjoyed getting to know each other at our first group meal of the flotilla. 🍽️

After that, we ventured to 📍Fiskardo. Our crews enjoyed exploring the beautiful harbour and a few of us went on an adventure to the caves! We could hear the bats squeaking above us and spotted sparkling crystals. 🦇✨
