There is no age to get closer to the world of sailing, we had boat a child of seven months and a girl that her first week of charter did it at the age of 1 year and from there no longer stopped. The boat children enjoy a lot and with proper care can lead you on a cruise even from very small. If you opt for accommodation in boarding the cab was a little more tied, because you have to choose a time when there is another family with children, so you do not become bored and maybe not disturb the rest of 'crew. If you choose to rent a boat in autonomy or in bareboat or yacht with skipper, will the children to give rhythm to your holiday and are not sure how often they want to believe to stop you from making sailing holiday. Surely if quand take them by boat to swim already know or at least have no fear of the water they will enjoy more and you're probably more relaxed.

All of our sailboats and catamarans are equipped to the moorings in the bay.
They are equipped with: two ropes of 50 m for the moorings with ground ropes; a second anchor in case of need with other 50 m length of rope; Outboard rigid hull inflatable boat with more always included in the rental price in all boats of all sizes; ability to have wifi on board requesting it when booking with which you can at any time check the weather; inverter in each boat to charge phones and computers; Furthermore our catamarans is the Lagoon 421 Lagoon 400 S2 that have generator.

Us about the middle of April we already have the first boats ready for summer rental, moored at the marina of Lefkas. The charter will continue until early November.

Of course! Typically retailers have a certain fondness for cash, but almost all accept pagamneti with credit cards or debit cards. However in case you need cash, the ATM distributors foreign tourists do not have any problem to withdraw, the limit is set by your bank. All the problems we have in the past and which has been discussed so much in the news, were reported only to the greek people.

On all our boats, both sail boats from 33 feet on that catamarans, you can have the Wi-Fi on board, booking it at the time of the booking confirmation of the boat or with a certain advance of the start of the week charter. We still remember that in almost every bar you will encounter during your stay on a sailing boat in the Ionian Greece there is the ability to connect to Wi-Fi for free, asking for the password in exchange for a beer or coffee.

In Ionian Greece there are no problems to stock up on water during one or two weeks of sailing charter. It would always be better not to waste, but it is also hard to think radically change the habits of their crew in a week ... At home you are used to consume without problems in quantities sometimes exaggerated, by boat you have to do a little more attention, as it is not a problem filling the tanks, but could divenatre a problem to stay dry even as you are still soapy. So we try to look at the electrical panel of the boat, where it is indicated how much is there, then once in port we fill. On the additional pilot book made by us that we have prepared for you, and that is under the chart table, the ports found indicated where you can stock up without problem.

This is just one of the positive factors to take a cruise on a sailing boat in the Ionian Greece starting from Lefkada. In Greece you can moor in the bay, anchored to the ground with ropes in peace away from the ports, enjoying the spectacle of the stars without having to pay anything.

If you decide to take the car, you can leave the marina right in front of where your boat is moored. You can easily download your luggage or your galley, if you brought from home without having to walk for hundreds of meters under the sun. The area is very quiet and with the flow there is, in many years of our experience there has never been any problem.

Our Lagoon 400 S2 of 2016, is equipped with air conditioning system in the cabins and in the dinet.

If you rent a sailboat for Avelecazzate, you can rest assured, because our boats are controlled by diving every time they return from a charter, you can leave for your safe cruise.

All our sailing boats are equipped with battened mainsail, as we believe the opposite of how most people think, it is much easier to run the boat, even for inexperienced crews. Furthermore the sail yield is better and more stability to the boat especially in the case of reefed sails.

Yes. The skipper in addition to his daily remuneration is also entitled to food, and during the week-long cruise you will spend together on a sailboat, you can decide to invite him to dinner at the restaurant if you will go there and even pay for him or otherwise to every so if you want to go without her company, you should make sure to have on board the galley for him.

Unfortunately, we do not offer this service, as we would then have to have another charter departing from Corfu, so our rentals are all with boarding and disembarking from Lefkas.

Our brand new Dufour 390 Grand Large have 3 double cabins, each with its own private bathroom and can accommodate up to 8 people. They are available in our base in Lefkas in Ionian Greece from May to October for your sailing holidays with and without skipper.

For the rental of a catamaran the same type of boat license is required as for a sailboat.

Some of our sailing boats and catamarans have a Greek flag, others Italian but with a Greek charter license, which is essential if you want to be in compliance with Greek legislation.

Our boats are available for hire in Greece in Lefkas by the end of April, the clime is mild and already you are fine. It is then up to you based on what kind of cruise you want. If your priority is sailing on a sailing boat and visit the places in relaxing you can do even charter of May. If you want the confidence to take baths and go home with a nice tan, we recommend from June onwards. Of course for August rent is the busiest month. September is still very good for the charter, both the sun, tanning, diving and relaxation. October is again for lovers of sailing in a pure sailboat.

Well, the good reasons we believe there are:

We are the largest company charter Italian shipowner in Greece, at least until proven otherwise, yes because we are not an agency that rents boats shipowners by companies in August and then in turn rents to its customers. We have owned the boats regularly registered to hire in Greece and our season runs from late April to early November.

We show our face. Also opening our site for the first time, you can immediately see who we are, we do not put a name there and just, we are Roberto and Romina di avelecazzate.

Being a company of charter shipowner family business, because to a certain number of boats you can be able to do, then it becomes impossible, the relationship established with our clients we see reconfirmed over the years in many cases turns into friendship, there affezzioniamo and what we try to give him every time is more.

We started with a boat and now we have quite a fleet, this has cost many sacrifices, but also means that although their parties during the crisis years in 2007, we have strived to always give something more to our customer and they have paid off.

Yes. Our catamarans have a generator that allows to remain longer at anchor, without needing to go to the marina to charge the batteries. In addition you will never have problems, you can leave all the lights on without having to worry about battery consumption, you can take the hair dryer and use it at any time of the day, load all phones and coomputer together.

Certainly, all of your friends if they want will helm or participate in boat maneuvers, but remember that if at the time of compilation of the documents you gave your name and a copy of your sailing license for practices that are to be delivered in the captaincy during the week charter you are the responsible of the boat.

Yes, if you rent a sailboat or catamaran through our charter company, you can then entrust to your trusted boat skipper who will be responsible for the entire duration of your cruise.

Of course! The skipper receives a daily pay + food, so its presence can be requested during your week of charter just for a few days, to get familiar with the boat and its sails and try it for yourself maybe in the the flotilla, where still it receives an aid both during the radio navigation and during the mooring of the boat. However, this is difficult in the rental periods in the high season where there is high demand.

At the moment of arrival in Lefkada, when made the paperwork in captaincy for the rental, the boat will be explained in every part, as it is in our interest that you know well the boat so as not to cause damage. The so called check-in will be done by a member of our staf that really knows the boat will be hoisted up the mainsail and the jib open so that you can control both sails and checked that have no damage. When you take a boat in bareboat or without skipper charter where you are responsible and you must then answer for any damage, it is good to do a check-in really accurate.

On our boats, both sail boats catamarans will find everything you need for navigation, pilot book and nautical charts of the area in which you are renting the boat (Ionian Greece or Italy).
You will also find another pilot's book made by us, where you'll find many other indications on the routes that we propose.

Unfortunately not! On our sailing boats, we do not host any kind of animal in any type of rental, not to rent with skipper and non to rent without skipper. This is not because we are not animal lovers, but why do we think first of all needing of spaces that of a medium sized sailing boat like ours does not seem enough. They also do not think it's fair to clients of the week next sequence, as we can not know if any animals are boarded vaccinated, healthy or whatever ... and it could always be inadvertently some hairs that could ruin the cruise to an allergic person. So we can say that at home we have different types of animals, but a cruise on a sailing boat have never done.

The sailboat or catamaran you have chosen for your week of charter, at the check-in is delivered clean. You are not required to return it in the same condition as they are being asked to pay for the final cleaning. Even if we appreciate that during the charter will take care as if it were your own, and there be sent back in order as far as possible. Thank you.

All the boats we have are our property. During high season it is possible that our are no longer available, in which case we could offer sailboats for charter companies to our colleagues of trust, but in any case it will will be told.
