2026 Greece Flotilla Sailing
(https://www.windvalleysailing.com/world-sailing-club/wsc-flotilla)
October 10–17, 2026
The 2026 WSC Flotilla, organized by ISPA Japan, will be operated by WindValley Sailing School, an ISPA-certified sailing school.
This flotilla cruise takes place in the Ionian Sea, sailing around Lefkada Island, Greece, and is conducted as a shared sailing experience (flotilla).
Lefkada Island lies in the heart of Greece’s Ionian Sea, a region known for sheltered waters, steady winds, and dramatic coastal scenery. Its calm sailing conditions, turquoise bays, and welcoming island harbours make it an ideal setting for a relaxed yet authentic Mediterranean flotilla experience.
This flotilla is designed to accommodate sailors of all levels — from complete beginners to experienced sailors — offering a safe and enjoyable Mediterranean sailing experience for all.
Experience a journey where excitement and tranquility coexist, surrounded by breathtaking scenery and the simple pleasure of sailing. Join our crew to step away from everyday life, immerse yourself in beautiful natural surroundings, and explore new horizons along the Greek coast from a fresh perspective.
Note:
While the flotilla skipper is an ISPA Instructor, this experience is designed as a cruising voyage rather than a training course. As such, no formal instruction or ISPA certification is included.
