This weekly skippered itinerary from Lefkas Marina is for guests who want the Ionian’s most photogenic color palette - emerald bays, bright turquoise lagoons, and harbors that look like postcards in real life. The northern Ionian has a distinctive charm: it blends mainland character with island elegance, and it gives you access to destinations that feel both vivid and relaxed. With a professional skipper managing all navigation, mooring, anchoring, and sailing operations, you can enjoy the experience as a guest should - waking up to new scenery, choosing whether you want a lively evening ashore or a quiet night at anchor, and letting each day unfold without pressure.
About Our Service in Lefkas Marina and the Northern Ionian Coast
Your week begins on Day 1 with embarkation at 17:00 at Lefkas Marina. The check-in process is thorough and guest-friendly, with a yacht orientation, safety briefing, and a route conversation where your skipper explains not only where you can go, but how to make the week feel comfortable - when to depart for calmer passages, where the best visibility is for swimming, and how to time highlights like the Blue Lagoon for the best experience. The first evening is ideal for Lefkas town - a simple, enjoyable start that allows everyone to settle into the yacht’s rhythm before the first long cruising day.
On Day 2, you sail north in a longer leg of around 4-5 hours, often shaped with a stop in Preveza before continuing toward Parga. This is one of those days where skippered service matters: your comfort depends on routing, timing, and sea conditions, all handled by the skipper so you can simply enjoy the cruise. Parga rewards you with a striking arrival - colorful houses climbing the hillside, a charming old town, and a sense of place that feels instantly memorable. Many guests enjoy a swim at Valtos Beach, then spend the evening strolling the village lanes and visiting the Venetian Castle for panoramic views before settling into a long, relaxed dinner.
Day 3 brings you to Lakka, Paxos in about 3 hours, a bay famous for its emerald water and naturally protected anchorage. This is a day that often becomes the “we should stay longer” moment of the week - the water is ideal for swimming and snorkeling, the setting feels calm and exclusive, and the pace naturally slows. Your afternoon can be as active or as lazy as you like: time in the sea, time on deck, and then a waterfront dinner where the evening feels soft and unforced. On Day 4, a short cruise of 1-2 hours takes you along Paxos’ coastline to Gaios, the island’s main town. Gaios offers boutique shopping, narrow lanes, and a gently lively harbor scene - perfect for guests who enjoy exploring on foot and soaking up island atmosphere without needing a busy nightlife.
Day 5 is dedicated to what many travelers come here for: Antipaxos and its unreal turquoise waters. Your skipper sets course for Voutoumi Beach and the surrounding swim areas, choosing the best anchoring position for comfort and clarity. The day is structured around the sea - swimming, snorkeling, and the kind of water color that makes even seasoned travelers stop and stare. You also visit the Blue Caves, a dramatic highlight where rock formations and reflected light turn the coastline into a natural spectacle. Depending on conditions and your preferences, the evening can be spent back in Paxos or anchored in a quieter spot, where the night feels private and peaceful beneath the stars.
On Day 6, you cruise to Syvota in about 2-3 hours and enjoy the famous Blue Lagoon, a signature northern Ionian anchorage known for clear shallows and excellent swimming conditions. This is a day that suits every type of guest - families love the calm water, couples love the scenery, and groups love how easily a long afternoon at anchor becomes the best “beach day” of the week. Day 7 returns to Lefkas Marina with a longer sail of about 5 hours, typically enhanced with optional swim breaks to keep the day comfortable and enjoyable. Day 8 disembarkation at 09:00 completes the charter with a smooth departure process.
About Our Yacht – Lagoon 46 (2024)
This route deserves a yacht that feels spacious and stable, and the Lagoon 46 (2024) is engineered to deliver exactly that. The catamaran platform creates comfort underway and impressive room at anchor, allowing your group to spread out across multiple zones rather than competing for space. You have 4 ensuite queen cabins for up to 8 guests, plus separate crew accommodation forward that supports a professional onboard dynamic. Modern comfort systems - including air-conditioning, generator power, inverter support, watermaker, and icemaker - make the yacht feel like a genuine holiday home. Outdoor living is a defining strength: a panoramic flybridge for cruising views and sunset lounging, a premium cockpit dining area for long meals, teak surfaces that elevate the feel, and underwater lights that add atmosphere after dark.
The hydraulic swim platform makes sea access smooth and safe, while the tender and strong outboard simplify shore exploration and beach access. Courtesy extras such as Wi-Fi, snorkeling gear, and water toys may be available and add fun value to the week, though they are not guaranteed and are not part of the charter fee. In practical terms, this yacht is built to make the northern Ionian feel effortless - comfortable passages, beautiful anchor days, and easy evenings ashore.
What makes this Paxos and Antipaxos charter stand out is the quality of the experience day after day: a route that delivers iconic water color and charming ports, a skipper-led approach that keeps the week flexible and comfortable, and a modern catamaran that maintains a premium standard throughout. Guests choose this because it gives them what day trips can’t: the ability to arrive early, swim longer, avoid the crowds, and enjoy each destination at the best time of day. Book this itinerary if you want a northern Ionian week that feels both vibrant and easy, with the kind of smooth professionalism and comfort that turns a sailing holiday into a luxury escape.
