Ionian Islands Catamaran Charter
Exploring the beautiful Ionian Islands can be a magical experience and what better way to do it than on an Ionian Islands Catamaran Charter? Catamarans offer the perfect combination of speed, comfort, and luxury, providing the ideal way to enjoy the stunning scenery of the Ionian Islands.
Also known as the Heptanese, the seven Ionian Islands are situated in the Ionian Sea, just south of the Adriatic. Chartering a luxury catamaran here is one of the best ways to experience this beautiful part of the Mediterranean, as there are many ports, anchorages, and protected waterways.
The southernmost island, Kythira (Cythera), is not part of the Ionian Region but does belong to the Ionian Islands.
The smaller islands are Antipaxi, Erikousa, Mathraki, Othoni, Meganisi, and the deserted island of Strofades.
For many reasons, including proximity to the mainland, the Ionians remain a trendy yacht charter destination in Greece.
The Ionian Sea, off the west coast of Greece, is home to the six northern islands. Off the southern tip of the Peloponnese lies the seventh island, Kythira. There is no better way to experience an unforgettable experience than to join OCEANUS, a 70-foot Fountaine Pajot catamaran built with luxury and comfort in mind.
Moreover, a catamaran charter in the Ionian Islands is very comfortable since the Meltemi winds that affect the Cyclades have less impact here.
Why Choose a Catamaran
Regarding choosing a boat for a charter in the Ionian Islands, catamarans are a top choice. Catamarans have several advantages over traditional monohull vessels, making them ideal for sailing around the islands. A few reasons to choose a catamaran sailing holiday include the following:
Stability. One of the main benefits of a catamaran is stability. They are designed with two hulls that keep them upright, reducing the chances of tipping or rolling even in rough waters.
Shallow draft. The catamaran’s shallow draft also makes it ideal for navigating the narrow inlets and coves around the Ionian Islands. With a draft of only 2 to 4 feet, they can easily sail into areas other boats cannot access.
Roominess. Additionally, catamarans offer plenty of outdoor seating so passengers can enjoy the views while they explore the islands. The spacious cabins below the deck provide ample privacy and storage space for all your gear.
Crew. Your luxury catamaran charter is fully crewed. Your Captain is familiar with the Ionian Islands sailing area, ensuring you have the best experience.
All these features make catamarans the perfect choice for a luxury sailing vacation in the Ionian Islands.
