Sun Odyssey 379 Oyster Shell Stay Sail

Book our Sun Odyssey 379, ‘Oyster Shell’ on a two week Stay Sail holiday to our award winning 3* Beach Club in Vassiliki and discover the perfect ‘twin-centre’ holiday where you can get the family hooked on sailing before taking to the seas aboard your yacht for week two. You can join our exclusive Ocean Elements flotilla (or go bareboating) as we cruise around the Ionians taking in the best islands and anchorages along the way.

'Fearless' is the privately-owned yacht of the Lefkas base manager and is one of the best spec'd we've seen. She's got solar panels, all the electronics you'll ever need and even a bow thruster! The 379 is an ideal Med' boat with a large drop-down bathing platform, a wide cockpit for alfresco living and a light, spacious interior with three double sleeping cabins. The space aboard will put most (older) 40 footers to shame, but in an easily handled yacht for couples or families to enjoy.

About our Beach Club

Spend a relaxing week in Vassiliki enjoying an array of shore-based activities and water sports like dinghy sailing, windsurfing, paddleboarding, biking and fitness classes while the kids go wild in our Active Clubs.

After a week of activities and learning new skills from our brilliant RYA watersports instructors, get ready to join your yacht for a blissful week of cruising around the beautiful Ionians. Join our flotilla and discover crystal clear anchorages and a new island stopover each day; or go bareboating, or try our Flexi Flotilla, if you’d prefer to set your own itinerary.

Need a qualification?

If you need a skippers qualification to charter a yacht for week two then why not take your Day Skipper course with us beforehand? Many guests will combine a sailing course (in their first week) with a second week on flotilla, so they can try their hand at skippering with the comfort of our yacht team close by.

Bareboat and Flexi Flotilla

For week two of your Stay Sail holiday you can choose to join our Flotilla or go Bareboating; or perhaps try our Flexi Flotilla option. Bareboating suits those with sailing experience who prefer to decide on their own itinerary and return to the yacht base at the end of the charter.

Flexi Flotilla allows you to dip in and out of our flotilla and enjoy the benefits of sailing in company and plotting your own itinerary. It suits those with experience who appreciate the framework of a flotilla for its lead crew support, the camaraderie and the kids entertainments and socials. There’s no need to book our Flexi option in advance, simply speak to the lead crew on arrival and they will help you plan your Flexi Flotilla week.

Flotilla Sailing

Our Ocean Elements’ flotilla is the most popular option for week two of a Stay Sail. We run them with a brilliant team, consisting of a skipper, a host and an engineer. Our flotillas are loved by everyone, from beginner skippers to more experienced sailors looking to sail in company for a purely relaxing break. Our lead crew will take care of the planning, put on some entertainment (great for the kids!) and help you moor up at the end of each day.

Get qualified with us

Why not pick up a sailing qualification or gain your skippers license before joining our flotilla for a second week. It’s the best way to learn: get qualified with our Yachtmaster instructor and then put into practice your newfound skills on our flotilla, with our lead crew always close by.

You can qualify for your Day Skipper while your family relaxes back at our club, and then take them off sailing for your second week. Or why not learn together with your family and friends by renting our tuition yacht and instructor privately for a week. We can teach Competent Crew, Day Skipper and Start Yachting courses (age 10+) all together - and on the same yacht - so different abilities can learn together.

Book a Skipper

Take the pressure off with a skippered sailing holiday. Whether you're a newbie to sailing or you'd like an expert on board to lend a hand and give you a proper chance to relax.

Skippers are charged from £120 per day, which is £840 per week. That's only £140 per person for a group of six!
