The Drascombe Ionian Experience offers the opportunity to explore the delights of the islands and harbours of the Southern Ionian in an iconic Drascombe Lugger. Our inclusive packages offer our clients a fully equipped Lugger and beautiful apartments or villa accommodation.
We offer a unique package of comfortable, high quality accommodation combined with your own Drascombe Lugger, rebuilt to an excellent specification, to use as you wish. There is no pressure to go anywhere or do anything. Come and go as you please, sail around the islands or just potter about at your own pace. The watchword is relaxation...
All our apartments and villas have been selected using our extensive local knowledge and experience to offer the very best in terms of comfort, easy access to local restaurants and tavernas, and of course your own Drascombe Lugger moored just a few yards away.
The Lugger is ideally suited to couples or small groups who used to sail regularly in the UK but are now looking for something much more relaxing, perhaps sailing across the inlet to pick up bread for breakfast, having a leisurely morning and then heading across the water to a Taverna for lunch; for family groups who just want to potter around exploring inlets where they can beach the boat for lunch and a swim; and even for groups of novices who can develop their sailing skills under instruction. And of course if you are really looking for a sailing challenge, then there are so many islands to visit here.
The Lugger is noted for its rugged sea keeping qualities; they handle well in a good breeze and with so many option in its rigging you can even sail with just a reefed foresail and Mizen. When the wind falls away and it's time to get back to the pontoon just put down the 4-stroke outboard, an easy pull to get her into action and away she goes at 4-5 knots. A perfect and very safe day sailor.
Our Drascombe Luggers have been totally rebuilt by us to a very high standard. They all provide enclosed seat hatches, sun shade, cool bags, a 4 stroke outboard engine and plenty of safety equipment.
Sailing south you will encounter numerous anchorages, coves and villages accessible as stop-offs for lunch and a swim or to explore the area on foot. For those who wish to ‘Island hop’ and make an expedition by sailing to different venues each day we can pre-book overnight Taverna or small hotel accommodation for you (depending on availability).
It really is up to you. Phil is always on hand to give expert advice on wind and sea conditions and places to visit. And in the unlikely event that you encounter any problems, a quick phone call is usually all it takes to sort it out. This level of personal service really makes the difference, as you can see from our testimonials page.
