                    Flotillas are arranged based on the Aegean Adventure 
                    Sailing Cruise departure schedule. The schedule begins in 
                    May and runs to the end of September with the exception of 
                    August. We do not advise travel to Greece in August as it 
                    is unbearably hot and filled with droves of European vacationers. 
                     Cruises 
                    and flotillas may also be scheduled in October which has pleasant 
                    weather conditions each year. Flotilla guests are offered 
                    assistance with provisioning, fuel and water at departure 
                    and throughout the tour. They are given briefings, 24 hour 
                    VHF and visual contact, receive docking assistance at each 
                    port and they are welcome to join on the archaeological itinerary 
                    including walking tours and excursions in the evenings to 
                    sites and exceptional local tavernas. There can be as few 
                    as one yacht in a flotilla or up to 4 per lead boat. There 
                    must be two certified or experienced sailors on the flotilla 
                    yacht and it must be chartered as a bareboat from our fleet 
                    with the standard bareboat contract and insurance requirements. 
                    Flotilla fees are USDD$399 per week and USD$700 per two weeks 
                    per boat. 
                  Flotilla yachts can be chosen from our 
                    fleet of 250 yachts including recent Bénéteau, 
                    Jeanneau, Hunter and Greek designs. Flotilla guests sailing 
                    smaller vessels may be concerned about keeping up with the 
                    larger flotilla led boats but we always maintain visual and 
                    VHF contact and often reduce speed or tack to regroup on longer 
                    crossings. The smallest flotilla boat recommended for following 
                    on the 2-week Archaeological circuit (360 miles) is a 36-foot 
                    bareboat. Waves can be too big and uncomfortable for a boat 
                    less than 36 feet. Please see the Bareboat Charter Price List 
                    & Catalogue for boat models and prices. Please see the 
                    Flotilla pages for additional details
