Best Value Charter So Far
We've sailed many times in the Ionian, historically using a British company. However, our old charter company was starting to get really expensive so we explored some local operators.
We struck lucky with Kefalonia Sailing. We chartered Nionios, a Sun Odysey 35 in June 2017. Spiros was fantastic right from our first communication and the team went out of their way to make our trip as enjoyable as possible.
We had been warned the boat was a little older than some and weren't too sure what to expect but she was a delightful boat which had clearly been looked after and we had some fantastic sailing.
But it was the little touches that made things memorable. Solar panels meant we could run the fridge 24 hours a day. Electric fans in the cabins ensured comfortable nights. As we sail with our daughter (who was just over two years old on this trip) both these factors were very welcome.
Spiros had also provided netting round the guard rails and packed some kids toys and a toddler's life jacket in the lockers. They also accommodated our request to pick the boat up in one location and drop it off in a different one.
I rarely give reviews but have no hesitation in recommending Kefalonia Sailing to anyone. They are a reliable, friendly team who provide great value for money and go the extra mile to make sure you have the best possible time.
We will definitely be back for more. --- Bareboat Charter June 2017

A great holiday!
Spiros has arranged bare-boat charters for us all over Greece, as far away as bases in Rhodes and Kos. If you have any worries or problems, a quick call to Spiros and he'll take care of it. Spiros and his team really make sure your holiday is sorted. Looking forward to next season!--- DUFOUR 470, JULY 2021
Excellent and responsive organisation — May 2019
The bareboat charter was excellently managed. Spiros and Bouchra responded promptly to all queries and gained immediately our confidence to invest our charter fee way up-front. Having got to know them at pickup we were sorry not to have had time to see more of them - the beautiful weather in Kefalonia called us away immediately onto the high seas. The boat (Bavaria 46, 2015) was in immaculate condition, and we would warmly recommend the personal attention afforded by Spiros and Bouchra to any other prospective charterers. We hope to charter again through them. Clement and the Magnificent Five. Bavaria 46, 2015, MAY 2018
une semaine de croisière inoubliable – August 2019
Nous sommes une petite famille de 4 personnes. Mon épouse, moi même et nos deux filles de 8 et 10 ans
Nous étions en vacances dans les îles Ionniennes et la vue répétée des bateaux naviguant sur les eaux turquoises nous a donné envie de tenter l'aventure.
Nous avons eu la chance de naviguer avec skipper pendant une semaine sur un BAVARIA 40S répondant au doux nom de Kanenas.
Nous avons passé une semaine de croisière inoubliable.
Thank you so much ------ AUGUST 2019
Recommended and will use again
We chartered a boat for August 2020. The initial booking process was easy and communication was excellent. Spiros is very friendly, helpful and accommodating. He even put us in contact with a reliable car rental company. Despite all the uncertainty about whether our trip would even happen due to COVID-19, Spiros was great all the way through; reassuring us that even if it couldn't happen we would be able to move the booking and we wouldn't lose any money.
The boat was excellent (only a couple of years old) and our Captain Niko was an absolute star; he quickly became part of the family and the children loved him too. We have a such a great time and make some amazing memories.
We will definitely use their services again...LAGOON 39, SEP 21
A real gem of a find! – June 2018
We are frequent charterers and have sailed in the Med for the past 43 year. I have not only chartered but for many years ran the operations of a major charter company.
I can safely say that it is not very often that one comes across a charter company as efficient and flexible as Kefalonia Sailing .Spiros and his team were quite outstanding and nothing was too much trouble. Changes of charter dates, plans and island excursions were all handled swiftly and with courtesy. There is a lot to be said for using a company where the owners are hands on - something the mega charter companies lose with size.
The boat was in excellent condition for age and we had no problems with her whatsoever.
One other big advantage was the far cheaper flights to Argostoli rather than Preveza -amazing difference.
We have no hesitation in recommending Spiros and Kefalonia Charters. --- Bareboat Charter Cyclades 43.4 , June 2018
Fantastic Service – October 2017
Wanted a last minute week sailing in October but needed to get a boat from Kefalonia rather than lefkas. Found kefaloniasailing.com. but prices were almost too good to be true so was a little sceptical. From the point of initial enquiry to arranging airport transfer and then meeting us at the boat in person, the service from Spiros was fantastic and I couldn't rate him more highly. We took out a Bavaria 41 which was in great condition. We will definitely charter through Spiros again! Ed (Cheshire, UK) --- Bareboat Bavaria 41, October 2017
another day another bay – July 2017
Dream holiday, from start to finish was perfect. Our first trip on the Greek seas, our skipper was fabulous and took us to some secret locations that only an experienced person would know. Our boat was great and very comfortable - tip is always have a room extra if you can afford it! Kids loved every second - no one was sick. We would definitely use Kefalonia Sailing again! --- Skippered Bavaria 50, July 2017
