This is how it works. You'll spend a week living it up at Vounaki Beach Club, enjoying the club board meals (breakfast and lunch every day plus 4 evening meals). If you can already sail or are planning on letting somebody else do the sailing, you’re free to join the range of inclusive activities (or just relax by the pool). Dinghy sailing, water skiing, tennis, cycling and more – it’s all included, so take your pick!

The second week of your holiday, you'll be setting sail on your yacht. Every day a route will be planned for you, unspoilt coastlines, wonderful islands, picture-perfect coves and deserted beaches are all waiting to be discovered.

You already know how great a sailing holiday can be. Well, stay and sail may just be the holiday you’re looking for if you want friends and family to catch the sailing bug too. Why not switch it up and jump straight on board for week 1, before relaxing on land for week 2?

Whilst staying at the Beach Club, our inclusive kids clubs, running 6 days a week, have an unbeatable range of activities to keep them busy.

Then comes the really exciting part! Children love living on yachts - it's 1 great adventure after another. Warm sunshine, jumping from the deck into sparkling seas, swimming ashore, discovering new beaches and bays, helping with the ropes, hauling the sails, playing captain, hunting for pirates, fishing for dinner, dolphin spotting and endless new destinations will keep them happy for hours.

A sailing holiday is a great experience, creating lasting memories, that you and your children will remember for years to come.

Your yacht will be your home for your week afloat. And what a home it is! Taking you from port to port, it’s kitted out with just about everything you need, even a kitchen sink!

The yachts sleep up to 8 people, but for comfort and privacy, we would probably recommend you don’t fill them to the max. They have showers, heads (that’s toilets to you and me) and a well-equipped galley (kitchen). Every yacht is fully prepared for your arrival - you just need to bring food and drink.
