Stilvi is a 1999 Bavaria 42 sailing yacht based at Nikiana Marina in Alexandros, Greece—your gateway to the Ionian Islands and their crystalline anchorages. This four-cabin vessel comfortably accommodates eight guests, making her ideal for families or groups of friends seeking a week of genuine Mediterranean sailing without the formality of a full crew. With two heads and generous living spaces, there's ample room for everyone to find their rhythm between days on the water and quiet evenings at anchor.

Life aboard Stilvi balances ease with authentic seamanship. The boat's Volvo 22 hp engine handles the calm mornings when wind is sparse, while her well-balanced sail plan rewards you during the afternoon breezes that define Greek sailing. Modern conveniences—GPS chartplotter, autopilot, and solar panels—keep you connected and self-sufficient, yet never intrusive. The bimini and sprayhood shelter the cockpit, creating a comfortable hub for morning coffee or evening aperitifs, while built-in speakers invite music into your days. A refrigerator preserves provisions from local markets, and the radio-CD keeps the atmosphere convivial.

Your week typically unfolds between hidden coves and working harbours. Mornings might find you snorkelling with the provided equipment in turquoise shallows, while afternoons bring gentle sails between islands. Nikiana's position offers quick access to the quieter anchorages around Meganisi and Scorpios, or longer passages toward Kefalonia's dramatic coastline. The included dinghy opens access to remote beaches and tavernas perched on cliffsides, where local fishermen still haul in the day's catch. Evenings settle into the rhythm of Greek island life—the clink of glasses, the scent of oregano drifting across calm water, and the slow fade of light over the Ionian.

A week aboard Stilvi rewards those who come seeking connection: to the sea, to each other, and to the unhurried pace that defines these islands. Whether you're experienced sailors or discovering sailing for the first time, this boat and her home waters offer an authentic Mediterranean experience that lingers long after you return to shore.
