Another great opportunity to have fun afloat!

The Plan:
Fancy a week exploring the Dodecanese Islands around Kos on board a luxury 55’ yacht? Come and join us for a week, relaxing in the sunshine and enjoying the Mediterranean vibe as we sail in comfort to some of the hidden gems in the area; the bays most others don’t know about!!
The plan will be to sail 3-5 hours a day with time to explore the towns each evening or simply relax with a drink on the boat in a beautiful anchorage.
This trip is open to seasoned sailors and beginners alike, no experience is necessary. This trip is offered by Mike Johns and operated through Sailscape. The trip is a commercial trip run on a cost price basis exclusively for LSC members.
When: 4th July to 11th July.
Route: Starting and ending at the main harbour in Kos from where we will explore various island either to the north or south depending on the weather. The route is not fixed and may vary depending on conditions, but we will be sure to stay in some beautiful unspoilt places!
Boat: We will be sailing on a 55’ yacht with all mod cons to ensure comfort and provide spacious accommodation in 5 cabins and 4 bathrooms with hot and cold running water, a fully equipment kitchen with drinks fridge and a lot of sunbathing space on deck! The yacht is licenced in accordance with Greek laws and fully equipped with all necessary safety equipment and navigational aids. There will be space for 8 people on-board. We never expect anyone to be sleeping in the saloon
Event Organiser/skipper: This trip is organised and skippered by Mike Johns (Sailscape Ltd)
Accommodation: Accommodation will be in shared double or twin cabins. We often get asked if cabins are available for sole occupancy and, of course that’s fine, however we can only accommodate this if you agree to cover the full charter cost of the other space in the cabin.
Cost: £950 per person
To be paid as 2 instalments
Deposit : £475 due to confirm your place
Balance : £475 due 1st May 2025
The cost includes basic charter and insurance costs of the yacht, end cleaning, towels, bed linen, dinghy and outboard and cooking gas. Breakfasts, lunches and soft drinks aboard are all included along with some alcoholic beverages at the skippers discretion. Please note this trip will go ahead if 8 people sign up.
Extras: Additional costs to consider are flights, transfers and any accommodation ashore (at the start or end of the trip) plus restaurant/bar bills ashore.
Flights: approx. £200-400 return depending and the exact date/time of travel. Kos Airport is the closest airport with direct flights from several London airports. The taxi ride from the airport to the charter base is only short and we will try and coordinate to minimise the number of taxis required.
