“Over the last 10 years I have sailed with BeyondBeach (previoulsy Trek-Adventures) three times. They are indeed a very special company. James one of the original owners has always been so friendly and helpful. Professional guidance before booking and fantastic training and support on site. My first adventure was to take the family on a two week holiday. First week on land with dingy sailing ( two grandsons 8 and 10 who had never sailed before) the second week on a yacht learning to sail. A fantastic experience and this choice was guided by James. We returned a couple of years later and booked a two week land based holiday. The boys had great fun and I found people to sail with and when the winds picked up you would find me out on the Hobby Cat on the trapeze, or flying a spinnaker on one of the other yachts. I am still in contact with some of the friends I had made. The third time I took a yacht on one of the flotilla holidays. A bit of a jump into the unknown as the young man I took with me in his 30's had never sailed before. I had my licence but it was rather daunting. James said we will give him tuition for the first couple of days until you feel confident. So that was one of my really dream holidays, responsible for my own yacht but with the back up of professional, knowledgeable and very friendly staff. Plus all of the good things I love about Greece. The friendly people, the lovely weather, and the really good food. If you have not tried this you really must give it a go. So lovely to see this amazing company progress.”

“Stayed at Lixouri Bay Club for one week of beach, dingy sailing and other activities. Then a week doing Day Skipper on a yacht based at Lixouri marina. BB staff and guides were brilliant. The hotel, run by a local Greek family, was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended.”

“What a friendly, relaxed, professional, skilled and fun bunch the Beyond Beach team are. A truly beautiful setting to learn to sail in and the hotel staff just felt like family by the end of the holiday. I am a nervous middle-aged novice who was put at ease by Jake's knowledgeable and patient tuition and even plucked up the courage at the end of my course to enter the weekly regatta . My husband, a more experienced sailor just signed out one of the many boats tacked up and ready to go and blasted around the bay. Fun Fun Fun!”

“We stayed at the Lixouri beach club. It’s a brilliant family run hotel with excellent rustic food and welcoming, friendly staff who genuinely want to ensure that you have a great time. The customer service in the Uk was great too and helped us to choose exactly the right holiday. The setting was beautiful with clear, safe water and plenty of choice of watersports and friendly instructors. The other guests were all like minded, friendly, active families and our teenagers loved having a chance to hang out with others in a safe but fun environment. We are already discussing when we can go again! Thank you for such a great week.”

“I have recently returned from an utterly fantastic Ski Holiday in Vaujany. Chalet Saskia is absolutely lovely and in a prime location, just 2 minutes from the ski lift and leisure centre. I will definitely be going back next winter!”

“Definitely recommend Seatrek‘s Intro to Sailing week! I booked the week hoping to make everyone happy as I was vacationing with my teenage daughter and mom who are not sailing enthusiasts but enjoy being on the water. I was interested in gaining more sailing experience. The week did not disappoint! I really appreciated Captain Shirley and her confidence building, learn by doing approach to teaching. I am very much looking forward to the next sailing adventure with the Seatrek team!”

“We just had an excellent week at Paliki beach club, thank you very much trek adventures! Before we went, Mark at head office answered all my endless questions speedily and completely. Their website is excellent with a comprehensive FAQ. There are various accommodations options available, we stayed in the hotel in a spacious triple room though we were 2; it had a kitchen, balcony, and air conditioning. All the staff hotel are wonderful, kind and professional. Breakfast plentiful and delicious. We also had lunches and dinner there as the menu was so good! We did go to dinner a couple of times as there are many restaurants within walking distance (as well as supermarkets). The watersports options were perfect, we learned to sail and windsurf and did some paddle boarding. There is a large area available with very limited interference from other boats which is great when you are a beginner! There is an activity program for the week that you can follow or not as you wish. There are some organised activities for teens and for kids. The beach club staff were amazing, super friendly and very knowledgeable. The other guests there were also very friendly, all similar minded people looking for an activity holiday with a smaller company. I cannot recommend trek enough!”

“Had a good week at the Lazaratos Hotel with Trek Adventures. Watersports were generally good, boats and windsturfing were decent. Hotel staff were friendly and the food served at the hotel was really good. Definitely missed an area where you could do other sports like tennis. The beach is a bit shabby and the sunloungers/parasols were in need of repair. Beach bar was great but they're desperately missing a toilet at the bar, especially if they're hosting drinks down there in the evenings. Hotel was nice but it's very basic and the showers and bathrooms needed a real clean. Mirrors in both of our rooms were cracked and rusty all over, quite a lot of it needed replacing and repairing. Really honestly for what you pay i thought it wasn't at a good enough standard. All the table tennis tables were broken or severly warped. That aside we had a good week, the standard was just a bit below what was expected.”

“We had a fantastic week of flotilla sailing in the Ionian Sea. Thanks particularly to the lead boat crew who were super organised, helpful and friendly. Great first experience of a family sailing holiday.”

“This was our first flotilla experience (Constance Bavaria 37'), and we have left the week with fantastic experiences and memories. The staff both off-shore and during the flotilla were very helpful and friendly. The lead boat staff provided us with a lot of good information and tips, and new the area and wind conditions very well. They were such a big help during the docking manoeuvres each and every day and made our life very easy . The tours and locations were incredible (very hot in July)! Please consider making sure that all instrumentation and equipment is functioning properly prior to boat handover (boat speed, boat hook, cabin window, steering wheel, ....). During the hot summer period (July/August) it is essential that the boats are equipped with some ventilation system (simple wall mounted fans in the cabins for example). Or at least include ventilation suggestions in the packing list.”

“Customer service from start to finish was exceptional both in the UK & at Lixouri Bay Beach Club. The beach & hotel teams were amazing and were, like all Kefalonians, super friendly. We had a truly fantastic, fun holiday; met great, like minded people & are already planning our return trip with new friends!! Our 10 year old said it was better than a Disney holiday so what’s not to like? There is something for everyone plus some and the Beach Bites night is not to be missed…”

“100% Reference for Trek-adventures.co.uk Introduction to Sailing - June 2023 One Week on board the Bavaria 32 named Leo 11, based at Lixouri Harbour, Kefalonia If you are unsure exactly how, or if, you want to develop your yen to go Sailing, then the Introduction to Sailing Week offered by Trek adventures in Kefalonia, Greece is a 100% recommend. This is the Walk don’t Run approach that takes you from a novice to the point where you can now take an educated view of where you want to go next. In developing your sailing journey you now can visualise options that are now appropriate to you, you can see various roadmaps that actually make sense going forward. More courses? More qualifications? Joining a flotilla? Be the crew for a qualified captain when chartering a boat, get some hours under your belt as Crew? or get qualified yourself? The Med or The Solent? A 32 footer or something bigger or smaller? You may not know everything but in the case of myself and my neighbour (both landlubbers) this week was superb, we have no complaints at all, trek-adventures.co.uk in Lixouri, Kefalonia was a gentle and simple introduction to sailing, it delivered on its promise. And of course this recommendation would not be complete without a huge mention that our Skipper/instructor, Barry, had the patience of a 'saint' and felt passionately about his job as tutor and was able to impart his obvious knowledge and experience clearly and without fuss making the experience so much more than just a holiday!!! I could go on, the Gulf of Argostoli is a fantastic benign location for learning to sail and Lixouri is a working town unspoilt by tourism but the best advice I can give is just go there.”

“What a great time we had on our learn to sail holiday. The yacht was lovely and very well maintained. The instructors were excellent, Barry, Mick and then of course our instructor Shirley. What a lovely lady we had so much fun and laughter with her. Shirley has a wealth of experience and knowledge, she really knows her stuff and is a brilliant teacher. From the time of our initial enquiry to the office in the UK prior to booking the staff were very approachable and helpful. We can't fault our complete experience with Trek Adventures and definitely intend to go back. We would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for the very best learn to sail holiday.”
