Why Start Your Sailing Route in Lefkas City?

Zero Island-Ferry Hassle: The greatest logistical advantage of renting a boat in Lefkas Town is the floating bridge connecting the island to the Greek mainland. You can fly into Preveza Airport (PVK) and take a 30-minute cab straight to your yacht at Lefkas Marina, completely bypassing the crowded Greek ferry system.

  • Massive Bareboat Fleet: Lefkas Marina hosts hundreds of top-tier monohulls. Because of the high volume of boats, competition is fierce, meaning you get some of the best rental prices in Europe.
  • Premium Provisioning: The marina is located right next to the bustling city center. You have immediate access to large supermarkets to fully stock your sailboat before heading south.
  • The Ionian Gateway: Heading south from the Lefkas canal instantly opens up the "Inland Sea"—a highly protected sailing area between Lefkada, Meganisi, Ithaca, and Kefalonia.
Captain's Insider Tip: The Lefkas Canal "When departing Lefkas Marina, you must pass through the Lefkas Canal to reach the open Ionian Sea. The floating bridge at the northern entrance opens every hour on the hour. Plan your check-in and checkout times carefully so you don't get stuck waiting!"
