Learn to Sail in Greece:
Learn to sail a nice modern yacht on holiday, without sharing it with anyone else, and be let loose in the same week. A refreshing flexible mix of fun flotilla sailing, and one to one tuition. Set in a beautifully sunny location on the stunning island of Kefalonia in the Greek Ionian islands, we run this holiday in a safe, friendly and professional style.
We also run this holiday as a Pot Luck week for single travellers to meet others, with the added bonus of an inclusive Hotel room for the week for your own privacy.

Company Overview:
Sea-Trek Adventures is a small friendly company, owned and managed by James and Susannah Hobart. We spent 4 years as managers of a large, resort based sailing and activities company based on the island, and realized that as the numbers of guests increased, we lost the personal touch and attention to detail that is so important on holiday.
So started Sea-Trek Adventures in May 2000 - offering affordable, quality sailing holidays for those who don't really relish enforced socialising, big quiz nights and set meals buffet style. We offer just enough support and direction so you can enjoy your holiday and actually get an insight into the area and people you've come to visit.
You have the freedom to choose how involved you become in the activity you're trying, where to eat and visit, who to group up with or wether to just chill out and soak up some sun by yourselves
Location & How to Find Us:
All our activities take place from the beautiful island of Kefalonia nestled in the Ionian Sea of Greece. Other nearby islands are Zakinthos, Lefkas, Ithaki, Megannisi, Paxos and Corfu.
Cephalonia, the largest of the Ionian islands, beset with olive groves and cypress trees, secluded bays, beautiful beaches and the mountains rising to over 1600 meters, forming the perfect ba
ckdrop, is an inspiration.
Vertical cliffs are reflected into the blue waters of the sea where dolphins, turtles and seals swim and bask in the sunshine. A gem amongst the Ionian islands, Cephalonia has an air of tranquility and calm, ancient villages, beautiful harbours and the once mighty fortresses from its earliest history. The island is the setting for the much acclaimed novel, "Captain Corelli's Mandolin".
We provide a free Travel Planner service to take away the hassle of finding flights for you to us. We can first source suitable flights for you through our excellent agent. We then contact you and you book and pay directly with them, or follow the link (destination Kefalonia ) and browse the flights online for yourself.
Direct return flights are available from most UK airports. There are also numerous other routes available to Cephalonia.
Additional Comments:
- Our yachts are modern, well equipped and very well maintained. They are designed for cruising in the Med, and are chosen for their excellent teaching characteritics and easy handling. If you've never lived on a boat before its kind of like a floating caravan. We use Feeling 306's and Feeling 326's as our teaching yachts.
- Our sailing holiday courses begin on Sundays
