Yacht charter trips in Preveza

Yacht Routes Through Preveza

Several small charter companies are based in Preveza, making it a potential starting and ending point for yacht journeys. Unfortunately, the yacht selection in Preveza is limited. Therefore, if you decide to start your journey here, it's advisable to arrange your yacht rental well in advance.

Preveza is equally convenient for starting/ending yacht trips to the island of Corfu as well as to the Inner Sea towards the islands of Lefkada, Ithaca, Kefalonia, and Meganisi. For trips into the Inner Sea, yacht skippers should be mindful of the challenging navigation through the channel between Lefkada Island and the mainland. This area is known for occasional grounding incidents.

Yacht trips towards Corfu Island are relatively simpler. However, if you decide to circumnavigate Corfu from the west, careful attention must be paid to the weather forecast. The western coast of Corfu offers very few shelters for yachts from southern and western winds, and the "southerlies" can pose significant challenges for skippers and crews.

It's also worth noting that Preveza is an excellent stopover for provisioning and yacht repairs during extended voyages, such as a trip from Athens around the Peloponnese to the Adriatic. It can also serve as a stopover on the way from Athens to Corfu. This route can be taken with a yacht rented in Athens or in the reverse direction from Corfu Island. If you want to avoid paying extra for one-way rentals, consider planning your trip at the beginning or end of the season, when charter companies need to move yachts between Athens and Corfu.
