Top marks for Kefalonia Sailing
I am happy to make a review of my wonderful experience on my recent yacht charter from Kefalonia Sailing. From my first contact arranging the booking Spiros was most helpful in choice of yacht and sailing area. The yacht on pick-up was in excellent condition. Unfortunately a storm came in which meant we had to seek refuge in Sami. Once again Spiros provided advice and his staff were on hand to meet us on arrival to ensure a berth. Sadly due to an illness at home we had to cut short the charter but once again Spiros did all he could to help us and make the unexpected handover of the yacht stress free and arranged transport for a quick dash to the airport. I look forward to finishing our itinerary next year with Kefalonia Sailing.--- BAVARIA 40, OCTOBER 2021
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
great trip
Spiros and colleagues at kefaloniasailing.com were very helpful in choosing a boat to suit our needs and helped arranging crew, extra's etc. Good communication and transparency. We recommended them wholeheartedly; we shall use their services again when booking a charter in the Ionian.--- LAGOON 50 with skipper and hostess, SEPTEMBER 2021
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 great experience
I can’t speak highly enough of Spiros and his attitude and approach. From his first email to the handshake goodbye, Spiros was friendly, efficient, responsive and honest. He found us exactly the type of boat we needed; he was there to meet us at the airport; he and his team were always available on the phone when we had questions; and when we did have a little problem with the anchor, he did all he could to resolve the issue as quickly and painlessly as possible. You always worry when dealing with a company many miles away with something as important as a holiday involving paying for an expensive boat: I can say with confidence that Spiros and his team are entirely trustworthy and won’t let you down. Happy sailing! --- Bareboat Charter September 2017
Unforgettable holidays in ionian sea – August 2017
Thanks to Spiros we found the right sailing boat for rent for our first holiday in the Ionian Sea. The team welcomed our family and recommended us good places to visit. The children were very proud to sail on a brand new Bavaria Cruiser and loved the bathing platform. We easily and safely reached paradise islands close to lefkada like Meganissi, Ithaka and Kefalonia. When we faced a problem with the outboard engine, Vangelis technical team offered us a friendly and immediate solution. The Ionian Sea in summer can be windy in the afternoon but generally calms down in the evening so sailers and their family can have fun all day long! --- Bareboat charter August 2017, Bavaria 37

I had planned our island hopping/ sailing trip for so long and it was EVERYTHING that I’d hoped for!!
Spiros was so accommodating...very responsive to lots of emails !!
Our skipper Ilias was wonderful too.
Wonderful memories 💞
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
Sailing the southern Ionian
Spiros provided an excellent charter service. Quick to respond to any questions and everything was very well organised. The yacht was equipped to a very high standard. A technical issue at the start was dealt with quickly and sympathetically. We enjoyed a wonderful week exploring the southern islands along with a few days ashore in Kefalonia which I would highly recommend. Spiros went out of his way to welcome us on arrival and made us feel like valued clients. I have no hesitation in recommending Kefalonia Sailing. --- Bareboat Charter June 2017
