Description from owner

Description

Alan & Vassiliki welcome you on board the Golden Otter, a beautiful classic wooden yacht!

We provide Sailing Holidays and Daytrips around Kefalonia and the Ionian Islands for people who wish to experience sailing on a unique handcrafted boat.

Swim in secluded beaches, discover the hidden beauties of Kefalonia, learn the basics of sailing or sit back and relax.

We are based on the island of Kefalonia a short distance from the Kefalonia airport.

Everybody is welcome no matter what your age or experience maybe.

We believe that the pleasure of sailing, especially on a Classic Wooden Yacht, should be accessible to all, hence we deliberately keep our prices competitive.

We will make sure that by the end of your adventure a memorable time has been had by all!

We are both seasoned sailors and have an extensive knowledge of these waters, plus the history and culture of the area.

Included in price: skipper, fuel, mooring fees, linen and towels. NO HIDDEN EXTRAS!

Please don't hesitate to give us a call for any questions before booking, as we are only too happy to discuss matters with you in person.

Thank you!
