Super-Yacht Sailing Holidays.
Jeannous is a stylish 57 foot yacht with the service of a boutique hotel. Imagine a private villa where you wake up in different beautiful location every morning. A completely new type of holiday for people who want a unique experience without sacrificing comfort.
She has 3 double cabins, all ensuite, air-conditioning throughout and acres of space to dine, sunbathe and relax. Her skipper and chef (who have separate quarters) will ensure you get the most out of your holiday; from fine dining to a great sailing experience and private access to some of the most beautiful parts of the world – in peace and seclusion.
She has a 30 knot speed boat and like all luxury villas there is a garage, but the contents are a world apart. Water skis, wakeboard and a”ringo”. Two stand-up-paddleboards for exploring the coast. And there is a windsurfer set-up – the warm waters of the Mediterranean are the perfect place to learn.

Food & dining
Breakfast, a light lunch, all soft drinks, tea/coffee, water and snacks are all included. The only extras are dinner (£20 for adults, £15 for children) and alcoholic drinks. On booking you will be sent a request form for your preferences. Part of the fun of having a private chef is choosing the menu daily.
Cabins
There is a large, light, master cabin with a super-king sized bed and desk. It covers the full width of the boat and has a private en-suite shower room
In additional there are two twin cabins aft of the main saloon, each with a private shower room – the beds can be joined to make king-sized doubles.
All toilets are electric (no back-wrenching pump loos) and the cabins and the living areas have individually controlled air-conditioning.
Water sports
Jeannous comes with a 30 knot 3.5m rib which is great for ferrying people ashore. But it is not just a workhorse and can be used as a ski boat for waterskiing, wakeboarding and towing inflatable toys like ringos and banana boats. However safety is paramount with such a powerful craft and high speed activities are only allowed under qualified supervision.
Sup-w'surfing
Sailing isn’t the only wind powered activity on Jeannous. She has 2 “SUP’s” (stand-up paddle boards) for exploring the coastline and having some light excercise. SUP has really exploded as a sport in the last couple of years and the ease and freedom it gives you is the main reason.
Our SUP’s also convert into Windsurfers, with a 5.5m rig rig and a childs rig with small sail available on request. If you have never tried the sport, then learning in warm waters is definitely the way to go…
Under sail
As well as a luxury cruiser, Jeannous is a high performance sailing yacht with an emphasis on ease of handling. All the sails are electrically controlled so she can be easily sailed by two people.
Guests can be as involved as they like in the sailing and we would aim to have complete novices competently handling the boat by the end of week. Experienced sailors can take complete control and the crew will
Under motor
The main power unit is a Volvo Penta 150hp engine and cruising speed is 7 knots or 8 knots. We allow for 3 hours under motor each day so up to 150 miles in a week which is plenty even if the wind gods aren’t behaving. In total there is over 700 litres of fuel on board giving a range of around 600 miles.
Technology
If you are the sort of person who “doesn’t care as long as it works” don’t read this, but a lot of our guests like to know what is under the floorboards.
There is a quiet generator for powering the on board equipment when not moving. This is supported by a bank of batteries which ensure the fridges stay cold.
There is a powerful “whole boat” air conditioning unit with individual cabin controls and a water-maker for converting salt water into fresh water so there is no need to moor to refill water tanks.
Relaxation
Jeannous is a large yacht and the use of space makes her seem even bigger. The main cockpit has both a lounging area and a seating area around the large table
In addition there are sunbeds aft of the wheels to watch the water slipping away behind you and a hammock for the foredeck when moored. Also, the garage door folds down to make a teak bathing platform.
The galley
…Or kitchen to land lubbers is a place you need never visit but it is as fully equipped as a luxury villa with oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher and there is even a washing machine tucked away.
More importantly there is a fridge and freezer and an on deck drinks cooler so a bottle of water and sun downer (or sun-upper come to that) is always to hand.
Sail power
There is a mainsail and 140% genoa.
Most of the sails electrically furl and the winches are all electric (2 with rewind).
Fishing
We have fishing gear on board so if you want to bag a tuna for dinner, it is well worth trailing a lure whilst moving between locations.
Entertainment
The saloon has a 32 inch TV with DVD player in case children need parking out of the sun for a couple of hours. There is also a Bose music system including deck speakers so you can play your favourite tunes.
Hopefully you can switch off while on-board but if emails do need to be accessed there is 3G based wifi on board. There are also USB plugs for device charging and 220v (European plugs) for larger appliances.
Corfu Summer Base
The main base for Jeannous for summer 2016 is Corfu. There are lots of flights into the airport around 5 miles away (Easyjet and BA from the UK).
Mathraki
The Faraway Islands of Mathraki and Ereikoussa are an easy jaunt from the Corfu base but are far enough away from the masses to ensure you get peace and quiet even in the busiest times. And you are only 50 miles from the heel of Italy if a pizza craving takes you...
Anti Paxos
A solid entry for the prettiest cove accolade in the Mediterranean, Emerald Bay is a magnet for yachts in the Ionian. Most of them visit for the day but with Jeannous stay overnight and enjoy the peace and quiet
Fiskardo, Kefalonia
Easy to reach in a 2 week trip, Fiskardo is one of the most fashionable spots in the Ionian and the (rest of?) the super-yachts will be moored outside the harbour. A contrast from some of the secluded bays -here you'll find dozens of eateries and extensive shopping
The Greek Ionian Sea is one of the most beautiful sailing arenas in the world. Little tide or current, reliable weather, wonderful locals and of course fabulous tavernas for eating out. Jeannous' base is Corfu for the flights and from Corfu there are lots of cruising options: north to the "Faraway Islands" , South to Paxos and Kefalonia, and east to the Greek mainland.
