Flotilla
Options
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
