“I spoke to Mark who handled my booking, all the queries I had and he guided me through the whole process. It’s very easy as you can book your transfers too. The email reminders were very useful. I flew from Manchester which isn’t a great journey from Yorkshire so it was really nice having the taxi waiting for me at the airport and also Maddy my instructor kept in touch as she was ready to meet me at the Beyondbeach office which is just situated in front of the moorings. There is a kitchen and bathroom with lots of hot water so if you don’t feel like using the shower on your boat you can use this. Once settled with a decent sleep I was ready for Friday and the start of my new adventure. The small town has good restaurants, supermarkets etc with a great square where families gather in the evenings. It has an old fashioned and honest charm where you are made to feel welcome and safe. Maddy and Shirley both very knowledgeable, kind, funny, highly skilled, very experienced yacht masters made the week very enjoyable. One to one is an excellent way of learning and Maddy was fantastic with huge pockets of patience ! Learning to sail couldn’t get any better than this. It is a wonderful way of refreshing old skills and learning to sail. I will be back!”

“We had an amazing trip to Lixouri Bay in Kefalonia with Beyond Beach. Booking was straight forward and tailored to our groups need, the operations team went above and beyond to cater for the needs of our group and create a bespoke programme. This provided an excellent opportunity for greater learning on the trip alongside participating in all watersports activities. The hotel family were very welcoming, the accommodation was well look after, with daily maid service, the most tasty food with plenty of variety to suit different dietary needs. The hotel staff welcomed you as their family and created a friendly atmosphere. The beachies were a top group! All providing fun and engaging sessions for all members of our group. We were kept safe, had well organised instructing and provided fun challenges and experiences for all in our party. Lastly, club manager Hugo provided an adaptable programme that was dynamic to the groups needs and weather changes, he was always happy to help and ensure we were relaxed and having a good trip. We cannot wait to return soon. Thanks again.”

All the staff involved have always been enthusiatic and have really made the holidays. Big thank you's go to Mark in the office, Shirley, Barry and Maddie with the learn to sail and Erika and Danny who were on the lead boat when we did our flotilla. Would totally reccommend Beyond Beach ( We will always be Trekkies) and we cant wait to do our next Flotilla in July.”

“I spent a 4 night fitness break with Issy staying at Lixouri Bay and can honestly say it ticked every box. The rooms were smart and spotlessly clean with gorgeous views. The food and hospitality were excellent and the fitness sessions with Issy were a fantastic start to every morning. Instructors were on hand if you wanted to use any equipment and they pretty much taught me the basics of sailing in just 4 days. Lovely family hotel run by helpful, courteous team. Could not have asked for more.”

“3rd time for me on flotilla holiday with this company, that must say it all. A brilliant way to sail the beautiful ionian islands without all the hassle. Boats were nicely turned out and back up crewe, Erica and Dan were excellent, we were there twice in 2023 and have booked for 2024. Would recommend.”

“We’ve had amazing holidays with BeyondBeach. We are a family of 5 (3 teenage children) and we have done the Learn to Sail, Flotilla and beach club and we can recommend all very highly! Everything is well organised, and the UK office is extremely helpful with booking and answering any questions. The learn to sail was a great way to get your qualifications while having a lovely holiday in such a beautiful place. We had a fantastic week on flotilla - the lead yacht crew were super friendly and guided us through everything. We stayed in some beautiful places and the daily suggested routes and anchorages gave the perfect mix of great sailing, independence and time relaxing on the boat and swimming in the stunning waters. Our second week each time has been in one of the beautiful villas (managed by lovely Kosta) at the Paliki beach club. Although we were in a villa, we ate most of our meals in the main hotel restaurant - the food is delicious and good value, and Babis and the rest of the hotel staff are like a lovely, friendly family. The water sports activities at the club were very good and we all enjoyed the various different options available. The beach team couldn't have been more lovely and helpful. The local town, Lixouri, is definitely worth a visit - the atmosphere in the evening is great and there is a large choice of restaurants. Thank you to all the BeyondBeach team for such unforgettable holidays!”

The Beach clubs are excellent - well equipped and well organised - a great place to learn to sail ( all watersports) or improve your skills. You feel encouraged to try everything and recieve friendly teaching The hotels are family run places - where the staff want you to have the best time and really care about you. I will return Thank-you”

“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.”

“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!”

“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…”
