Our Corfu base moves to Benitses (always in Corfu)

We decided to move our Corfu base to the very recently privatized Benitses marina.

Benitses offers plenty of advantages:

  • Smaller and picturesque port in the nice little village of Benitses, feels more like Greece.
  • Super safe from the weather elements
  • Located 8nm further south from Gouvia marina, shortening the trip towards Paxi, Lefkada, Ithaca…
  • All facilities within a few meters from our berths: Tavernas, super markets, showers, cafes…
  • Just 15 min drive to Corfu airport and city center
  • With a nice beach right next to the marina to enjoy a swim in crystal clear waters

Neo515: Neo430‘s big brother

Neo yachts  has created quite a stir in the last few years producing no-compromise top quality full carbon fast sailboats with functional and beautifully finished interiors.

At FastSailing we are strong supporters of such boats and we are very happy that a Neo430 is near to completion and will join shortly our charter fleet in Greece.

The Neo430 Neomind on its way for launching. Next stop: FastSailing Greece!

Now the yard has come up with the Neo515, a super modern, fast sailboat with aggressive yet very elegant lines. The Neo515, weighs only 8.95t, has a generous sail plan with a long carbon bow sprit, a 3.6m draft with 45% of the weight placed in the keel bulb assuring high righting moment and stability.  Interiors are offered in 3 configurations.

Needless to say that we would be interested in adding the Neo515 (and any other Neo!) in our charter fleet in Greece, offering our technical now-how on performance sailboats as well our charter marketing expertise that allows owners to enjoy such special boats at a more affordable cost.

Sailing destinations: Ithaca. No wonder Ulysses returned home

If you visit Ithaca once, you will always want to return there.  A small island located ~75nm south of Corfu, limited in size but rich in all the rest. A place to relax, to reflect.
Highlights:

  • Dock at Kioni and enjoy the nice bay and the village.
  • At the main town of Vathy, during the summer months dock at the North side, right across the little town. You will be protected from the typical NW winds
  • Spend some quiet time at the bay of Agios Andreas in south Ithaca
  • Try the artisan cheese made by the local Katseno breed goats
  • Go around and discover Ithaca yourself…

…May there be many summer mornings when,
with what pleasure, what joy,
you enter harbors you’re seeing for the first time

Extract from the poem Ithaka, By C. P. Cavafy
Translated by Edmund Keeley

Listen to Sean Connery reciting the full poem under the music of Vangelis Papathanasiou
