Packing for a Charter Holiday does not require lots of effort, our main advice is that you do not forget your passport, license if available or other documentation, credit/ debit cards and clothing items. Other than that, you will also need:

Sunscreen with very high SPF, hat, sunglasses, bathing suit, flip flops and non-marking boat shoes (if you have), one or two pairs of comfortable shoes, beach towel (shower towels are provided), personal care products, insect repellent, anti-histamine (in case of insect bites/stings), Jelly Fish After Sting Relief (better safe than sorry – although jelly fish are not so common). Your regular medication (if any). Camera & charger (or waterproof camera, action camera etc.), 12 volts (car charger) for charging devices on board and power bank, if necessary, although we would recommend minimum use of electronic devices. AUX cable – if you want to connect an electronic device for music.

The Service Pack includes: Bed Linen, Blankets, Pillow Cases, Face Towel, Body Towel, Beach Towel, Soap, Shampoo, Shower Gel, toothpaste, toothbrush, cotton swabs

According to the contract the embarkation time starts at 17:00h.

In case you would like to check in earlier we offer a Fast Track Package (by 14:00h) which is upon request and its own fee.

All of our yachts can be offered with a skipper. For people who do not have the qualification to handle a yacht, a skipper can be provided.

The security deposit is payable at base, prior to departure, in cash or with Bank Transfer by the Charterer. It is required before embarkation and will cover any damage or loss of the yacht and her equipment during the cruise. Prices of the security deposit vary on the type of boat that will be chartered.

In order to be qualified to skipper a bareboat sailing yacht in Greece, the minimum requirement is to have a sailing license/certification accepted by the Greek Authorities. It is advised that you consult with the Sailways team about the type of documentation you possess in order to clarify whether it is acceptable by the Greek Authorities.

In every charter we offer our advice and suggestions based on your preference. Other than that, the itinerary is totally on personal preference of the charterer.

If you are going to be on a skippered charter holiday, the best thing to do is to go over the itinerary with your skipper, to combine your preferences with his/her advice which is based on their knowledge and experience.

One of the advantages of Greece is its wonderful weather which widens the possibilities for the dates of your charter holidays. It doesn’t have to be the middle of the summer to get perfect weather, April and October are also good months to sail in. So, everything depends on personal preferences.
