“We had a fantastic learn to sail holiday in Kefalonia under the expert guidance of the lovely Shirley. We learned a brain full about sailing and gained so much confidence handling Escape. We will be back next year to join a flotilla and put our new skills to good use”

“We did the Learn to Sail course this summer with Maddy as our skipper and had a fantastic time. Maddy was welcoming and knowledgable and a great teacher. She was more than happy to answer all our questions, even going beyond the course content when we asked. We loved the coloured sheet set up on Leo II which made learning easier and we’ve already booked a flotilla for next summer!”

“We were booked onto the ‘Introduction to Sailing’ course - what a fantastic week we had in Lixouri! Shirley, our instructor, could not have been more helpful, knowledgeable and reassuring whilst teaching the ICC course to our son and daughter - 20 & 18 years old. If you are considering taking this course - just book it - as BeyondBeach offers a smooth booking system, thorough tuition and a chance to acquire new skills from an unforgettable trip. Would definitely recommend this friendly, welcoming and well-run company.”

“A great week -Maddy was the best skipper super calm and supportive throughout - so grateful she was there to share her knowledge (repeatedly) with us. The boats are a great size with enough facilities - you go with an open mind if you are staying on them to get them full sailing experience. However the use of an apartment 1 min away helps ease you in gently Location is just perfect - Lixouri is a wonderful place easy access to lovely bars and restaurants. Very short walk to supermarket and ATM from Marina.”

“Just returned from a fantastic two week holiday to Kefalonia with Beyond Beach which I would highly recommend. First week in Lixouri doing our IYT ICC with the knowledgable and fun Shirley. Amazing blend of learning to sail whilst having fun as a family of five with 3 children aged 9-14. The 36ft Bavaria had plenty of room for us all and the marina in walking distance to the shops and restaurants of Lixouri. A kitchen and bathroom with hot shower an added bonus. Dolphins swimming under the bow, whale spouting in the bay and turtles popping up all made for a wonderful, wholesome family adventure. Our second week at the Beach club was full of fun - meeting like minded families all keen on watersports and being active. Timetable was jam packed and we made the most of learning about spinnakers, catamarans, wing foiling, wind surfing whilst trying out the full range of dinghies, kayaks and paddle boards. Great variety of kit and always something available to go out in. Beach team highly skilled, knowledgable and fun. Beautiful, quiet bay in a stunning location. Excellent family run hotel with attentive staff and beautiful home cooked local food. Absolute winning formula.”
