The boats have: a 6 HP Outboard
Engine, Tiller Steering, Furling Genoa and lazy jacks on mainsail. Full
safety equipment including VHF Radio. Raising Keel 0.7-1.8m.
There is a small cabin
downstairs to store your picnic, swimwear and fishing rods - or just
take a break from the sun.
A breakdown / rescue service is
included inside the sailing area.
Qualifications:
- The skipper must be a minimum of a competent dinghy sailor (RYA
Level 3 or above) or similar experience (ie owned and extensively
sailed their own dinghy).
- There is a maximum of six persons per boat. There is a minimum
of two persons for safety reasons
- IMPORTANT: If we judge that you are unable to sail the boat
safely we reserve the right to not allow you to leave port. This is
rare, but if it happens then no refund is due because we have not
been able to rent the boat to another customer. If you are unsure
about your sailing abilities then you could consider our
Two Day Learn to Sail course on these
Day-boats or our one week Live-Aboard Learn to Sail courses whilst
cruising the Ionian Islands as part of our small and social flotilla.
- Special Offer: Rent
a boat for 4 days or more and we will give you a free 'refresher
course on your first day (max. on boat is 5 + skipper). Please
tell us at the time of booking so that we can allocate a skipper
Rental periods and times:
- These boats are day boats
only. Therefore they can be taken from 09.00 and must be returned to
our jetty in Nidri by 18.00 each day
- The minimum rental period
is one day
- Boats cannot be rented on
a Sunday except as part of a long duration booking
- On your first day you must
collect your boat at
09.00am so
that we can give you safety instructions
It is important to reserve in advance. There are almost no day
boats of this type for rent on Lefkas, and they will almost certainly be
fully booked for the summer.
