Delivery Trip Sailing Holidays
On the Neilson Delivery Trip, experienced sailors will enjoy
sailing our exciting three week route 'delivering' the Neilson
fleet of yachts from their winter home in Nidri to our flotilla base in Halkidiki for the
start of the summer holiday period and vice-versa.
You will experience night sailing and some long legs of up to 60
nautical miles. During the trip some nights will be spent at anchor.
Free sail days may not happen if weather conditions prove to be adverse
and in such cases sailing legs may be longer. Wet weather gear is
recommended.

What's included
We include full tanks of diesel, water and gas, marine insurance, flights and transfers, starter pack, damage waiver, security deposit, yacht charter and lead boat crew support. Please
note mooring fees are not included in the delivery trip holiday price.
Experience levels
When booking a delivery trip holiday we ask that at least two people
aboard are aged 18 years or over and have plenty of sailing knowledge
and experience, having been in charge of a sailing vessel for several
cruises, possibly on previous flotilla holidays. Both must be
comfortable sailing in a range of conditions. If this level of
experience cannot be satisfied, a flotilla holiday may be more appropriate.
