A Year of Change

A Year of Change

New addition to our charter fleet

Introducing ARTEMIS for 2022… we are very excited to have this beautiful Bavaria C45 – Holiday edition built in 2019 join our fleet.

As you step on board via the huge bathing platform and into the very spacious cockpit, you can appreciate that this boat is very well set up for the 10 people it is licenced for. A very light and airy interior combined with the 4 cabins, 3 bathrooms & a full size galley allows comfort for all on board.

Walking around the decks is easy on this clear, clean design.  The hatches are recessed into the deck and without any steps or edges you find plenty of areas to sunbath on the foredeck or under the boom.

You can appreciate her fully battened mainsail is combined with a self tacking foresail with all lines hidden running back to the dual helm stations.   ARTEMIS is a truly impressive cruising yacht to enjoy with all the technical equipment you would expect for a boat of this caliber.

Bavaria Cruiser 45 "Bunty"

New Charter Boat…

We are happily introducing a 2013 Bavaria Cruiser 45ft to our charter fleet for Season 2022.

She is called BUNTY and we are very much looking forward to giving you the chance to go sailing on this lovely boat with friends or family.

Interesting facts to know about her… She has a teak deck, bow thruster & twin rudders, giving you added control when parking; a wind generator, 1 electric toilet / 2 manual toilets and fans in all the cabins for extra comfort.  Combining full navigation equipment, autopilot and furling main sail it all helps the sailing experience.

Debbie is being kept busy with Bookings for next summer and is happy to answer any questions you may have on Bunty or any of our boats.

 

A New Pontoon

After many years of bureaucracy and paperwork, we are very proud to announce that our new pontoon has been approved and now sit’s proudly in front of our Yacht Club.

 

Last week, the fantastic team of divers from Lefkas Diving Centre in Nikiana, and Ruairi of course, descended into the depths of Vliho Bay to secure it in place. In total we used 200 meters of chain and 400 meters of rope which were patiently spliced together by Vicky & Joe. There are now lazy line berths just a 30 second walk from the bar, perfect for that summer evening!

 

Making this stretch of quayside more accessible and user-friendly has been at the top of our list for years. Not only will we have an abundance of more space, the yachts on the pontoon will be in the direction of the most common winds, making mooring & securing in our strong summer blows much easier!

Finally, Ruairi has up-cycled this lovely holder for our big blue hose pipe…but can you guess what it was originally???
