Early & Late Summer One Week Whole Ionian Delivery Flotilla
Discover serene harbours and secluded bays with our early and late season placement flotillas in the Ionian Islands. This route is one of our shorter placement flotillas that travel from Corfu down to Lefkas at the end of April and do the return trip in October. We offer 4 placement flotillas throughout the year.

Sailing conditions
These are among the most sought-after flotillas of the year! Taking place just once annually in each direction, they occur at the end of April and October, making them quite budget-friendly. Additionally, this time of year brings more unpredictable weather compared to peak season, often resulting in more favourable winds. It's an excellent opportunity for enthusiastic sailors!
Places to explore
During the winter, our yachts are wintered in Gouvia Marina, Corfu, where they receive comprehensive maintenance and cosmetic attention. At the end of April all the yachts are sailed to their summer bases and these trips are known as ‘delivery’, or ‘shakedown’ cruises.

Reviews
Just finished our fourth Sailing Holidays Flotilla. This time we chose the first week delivery run which involved longer days and further distances than we have experienced on our previous holidays with you. As always it was brilliant, and then some.
Thank you for working so hard making the delivery cruise such a wonderful week. The memories of the beautiful places and great shipmates will stay with us forever.
Second Delivery trip and the Lead Crew were fabulous. Even saw dolphins! It was so good I booked the next trip 4 days after coming back
