🛂 Port authorities: Our base manager will arrange everything with Port Authorities. The only thing we require from the skipper of the charter is to have with him his original sailing license and to send a copy of it two weeks prior to his charter. Find out how to become a skipper by learning about the available sailing qualifications.

🌦️ Weather forecast: You should always try to get a weather forecast before sailing away, especially if going more than several miles from shore, as it is difficult to tell at a glance what winds will appear, due to large landmasses, mountains and other geographical features. You can use your radio, Navtex or contact the Port Police. A forecast in Greek and English is given for all Greek waters at 06:00, 10:00, 16:00, 22:00 (GMT+2). Gale warnings are given at the beginning of the broadcast and a special security warning on Ch 16 gives all the VHF frequencies for different areas. VHF channel 16 broadcasts Gale Warnings as well as regular forecasts, upon vessel request. OLYMPIA RADIO broadcasts pre-recorded Weather and Sea bulletins in Greek and English.

Lefkas is the fourth largest of the Ionian Islands and is primarily famous for the extraordinary beauty of its beaches. The geographical position of Lefkas is considered to be its great advantage. A bridge only 50 meters long links the island to the main land, facilitating immediate approach to the airport of Aktio and other destinations. Lefkas Marina is situated on the eastern side of the island, literally embraced by the prefecture’s capital town, bearing the same name, and right next to the main harbor being a distinct town within the main town. The marina has been operating since 2002 having mooring places for 620 boats up to 45 meters long. Within the shore area of 70.000 sq. surrounding the marina, the guest will encounter a great number of different installations and services, such as offices for the rental of boats, cars and motorbikes, a surgery, port police office, a laundry, and a shopping center with a variety of shops including restaurants, a supermarket, and cafés providing the opportunity to do your shopping or enjoy a meal and a drink with a wonderful view of the boats and the beautiful town of Lefkas.
