Last week the pontoon came out of the water. A strange Greek law in which they need to be out of the water for 3 months. This means Ruairi has to change into his black seal outfit to ensure all is as it should be under the water with our mooring lines – not his favourite job!
The other end of our fleet is the lovely LILA, a Bavaria 32ft with lots of charm and the much needed folding wheel was new on for this summer. It just allows easier access when anchored or moored up for the night without having to do any standing yoga poses to get pass when you want to go and refresh your drink!
We have had to say goodbye to 2 boats who will not be in the fleet next year; Yakubu (owner is selling her) & Bunty (owner wants to sail her more). However, we are working on adding 1 or 2 boats into the fleet. A recent survey carried out helped us to determine what was important and we hope to fill those boat needs in the near future.
If you look at our website – charter section – you will see the prices have now been updated to show 2024 season prices. We know for a lot of our returning clients, they want to book a specific week and a lot of you have already booked dates for your favoured weeks. As an early booking incentive for our returning clients, we will extend our current offer…. If you book by the end of January 2024 then you can have your preferred yacht at 2023 prices. https://vlihoyc.com/yacht-charter/
“As always we appreciate your kindest, and lovely, happy professional team to ensure our sailing weeks are so”. Graham
“I just wanted to say a massive thank you! Our holiday charter was amazing and the boat was fab. You were all brilliant and couldn’t do enough to make our 2 weeks the best”. Elaine & Mick
“I just wanted to say thank you for all your great support with transfers, constantly changing crew list, blocked holding tank, super advice and help all along our trip and of course our “wake up call” on Saturday (sorry about that again :)). You guys were the best “backup-crew” we ever had during chartering”. Andrew
“You have a great team of support it was really nice to meet them their attitude was brilliant and supportive. You have set a very high standard we probably have to come back!” Tim
We also get to read and see your photos through our Trip Advisor Charter page (or Google review if you prefer). Do you have a spare 5 mins? We would really appreciate your review & any stories you are willing to share…. As a small operation, it all helps. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g189460-d3826135-Reviews-Vliho_Yacht_Club_Charter-Lefkada_Ionian_Islands.html
A funny story from 4 of our clients who took IONA has just come to mind, that they told us about on their return to Vliho Bay… They were anchored at Atokos Island (aka Pig Island). Thinking it would be a kind gesture to go and feed the pigs, 2 of them swam over with some food. Before they reached the beach, the pigs suddenly dashed into the water, snorting & grunting excitedly and swam towards them! Not wanting to meet this eager welcome head on, they tossed the food towards the pigs & one of them expertly caught it in their mouth. As the other crew onboard laughed, the others swam vigorously backwards, before the pigs could ask for 2nd helpings! Note to self: Just view the pigs from afar – lol…
We have just been digging out old photos of Ruairi & Vicky sailing their old wooden boat & hearing some of the antics they got up to… Head over to Ruairi’s Round Up Blog of 2023 in our ‘News’ section on our website to see them. https://vlihoyc.com/news/
