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
Local knowledge and great service
Spiros was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the booking process. We had a few slightly challenging requests for him to fill, but he managed to find us a great boat and crew and handled every aspect of the itinerary from transfers to jet ski rentals.
Kefalonia Sailing seems to be the only yacht agency that is actually based in Kefalonia, which was really helpful to securing a boat that was nearby and making use of their local knowledge for arranging the itinerary. I would highly recommend them for any private yacht rentals on the island.--- PRINCESSV55 , SEPTEMBER 2021
Great sailings days — July 2019
We have enjoyed beautiful sailing days around Kefalonia and the nearby islands. The region is wonderful for sailing. The boat was in good condition and well equipped.. Nikos and Spiros were always helpful and available. Thanks --- Bavaria 50, July 2019
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
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
We chartered a boat from Port Sami in…
We chartered a boat from Port Sami in Kefalonia. Seven seas were excellent in organising the charter. They even gave advice re hotel accommadation for the week we had prior to the sailing and put us in touch with a car rental company which offered great rates and were very accommadating in pick up and drop offs.. Would 100percent recommend this company. Liz and family. --- BAVARIA 36, SEPTEMBER 2021
Best holiday ever – July 2018
unbelievable holiday loved every minute. excellent captain and beautiful seas. --- Skippered charter July 2018, Bavaria 46
Fantastic Charter Holiday – September 2019
Thankyou for helping arrange a fantastic Charter holiday. It was perfect, the yacht was amazing, the service was amazing and the Stewardess was the best I have ever worked with. We had a fantastic time. If you would like me to write a more complete review I would be happy to do so, and I would recommend you without hesitation to anyone thinking of sailing in the Ionion. --- Lagoon 450, bareboat, Lefkas, September 2019
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
