For the purposes of clarity the company "N" will not be Nisos who, in my opinion, are on a par with Sail Ionian in terms of yacht reliability, maintenance and response to issues happening. Although I know who the "N" is I won't name them here but having eliminated Nisos it shouldn't take long...

I was just about to suggest Sail Ionian but Tranona beat me to it. As you will see they have a very large fleet and have a well deserved reputation for reliable yachts and a very knowledgeable team of engineers headed up by Chip (Chris) Di and Neil's son. They are based in Nidri on Levkas...

Nisos and Sail Ionian are the top charter companies in the Ionian with a similar business model. You won't go wrong with either. I've had a few chats with the boss as I was trying to get my boat into his fleet and you are right he is a top bloke. Less well known and with a smaller fleet is Vliho...

You may have already done it - but if not a slight diversion south, before you go into Patras Gulf, to Katakolo to spend a day visiting Olympia is a must.

The problem with flagging under the Irish flag is that everyone will think you're Italian.....

Many thanks westernman - some good things to think about. I notice you say your location is Costa Brava. Does that mean you have residency in the EU which might have made creating a Greek company easier? Don't want to stop the chartering side of things just yet as I don't have the time to use...

Thanks once again PlanB - will do as you suggest.

Thanks for that PlanB

I am really sorry if this has been raised already but I have been placed in an awkward situation which needs addressing within the next week so don't have the time to do searches. I ( as a Brit ) own a boat in the Ionian. It is Greek flagged and is loaned to a charter company via a Greek...

e-propulsion here. Tend to take battery off first but leave tiller arm on to lift with shaft unit. Tiller arm doesn't weigh much anyway so no real weight gain there. There's a fairly thin cable/connector to reassemble also which could lead to problems which I found out after I had rowed a...

Good luck in your quest Jen! I

Thanks Humblebee - good to know there are other food outlets. For such a remote place it seems it has quite a range of choice. Thanks also to fifer for the pic of the session and also the tip about catching the live music. From the website it's Sunday for the music and we join the boat in...
