Sunvil Stay and Sail |
Stay and Sail Options
Living aboard a yacht for the whole of your holiday is not everyone's cup of tea but this should not put you off a sailing holiday. Stay & Sail is the option for you. Popular 2-week combinations are to spend the first week of your holiday sailing and the second week ashore relaxing and exploring. |
 |
You can Stay & Sail as either a one week or a two week holiday. In Greece your sailing will be based around Nidri, on Lefkas Island; however, if you stay for a second week, this can be based on another part of Lefkas, the island of Meganissi or the resorts of Parga or Sivota on mainland Greece. This makes a wonderful two-centre holiday. Choose from the accommodation offered by Sunvil Sailing, Sunvil Real Greece or Greek Islands Club. |
STAY & SAIL - For the Experienced/Certificated Skipper and Crew
Day Boats
If you are an experienced sailor we have day boats for hire allowing you to take to the water while staying ashore. The day boats are 21ft yachts with an out-board engine. You have a cruising range of ten miles which can comfortably take you to some neighbouring islands and across to the mainland; an area full of quiet and interesting bays to explore as well as many pretty small harbours to visit.

Villa Flotilla
If at least two of your party are experienced and certificated sailors (1 skipper & 1 crew), then you can combine a week afloat with a week ashore. Choose from a wide choice of yacht and accommodation - be it a hotel, apartment or villa.
Bareboat & Stay Ashore
If at least two of your party are experienced and certificated sailors (1 skipper & 1 crew), then you could take a bareboat for a week and then stay in a hotel, apartment or villa for the second week.
Day Courses
Our Pre-Flotilla Brush-Up course is intended for those who wish to join a flotilla holiday after a break from sailing, ideal for the rusty but experienced and certificated skipper and crew.
STAY & SAIL - For the Inexperienced Sailors (sailing novices & beginners)
Day Courses
An experienced instructor will teach you about sailing on a daily basis (two-day modules), while at night you'll return to the land comforts of a hotel or villa. This can be during a one or two-week holiday based near Nidri on Lefkas Island. It can also be part of a two-week, two-resort holiday; however the sailing element has to be in or near Nidri.
Learn-to-Sail & Stay Ashore
For the first week, under the watchful eye of an experienced instructor, you'll get right into the swing learning the ropes whilst living aboard a flotilla training yacht. The second week you'll stay in a hotel, apartment or villa in a choice of four resorts.
