KEA EARLY AND LATE SUMMER DELIVERY FLOTILLAS

Our yachts are wintered in Gouvia Marina, on Corfu Island, where they receive comprehensive maintenance and cosmetic attention. At the end of April/ beginning of May all yachts are sailed to their summer bases in the Ionian or the Saronic and at the end of October they are sailed back to Corfu. These trips are known as ‘delivery’ cruises. It is normally our more practical and experienced flotilla sailors who take part. Any teething issues with the yachts tend to become apparent in these first few weeks as the yachts set sail for the first time in the year. Keener sailors enjoy these flotillas as they cover longer distances, plus the weather has not quite settled, so good wind is more common.
