Overview

Where and who

Our dinghy sailing and windsurfing club “Paliki” is only 1km along the coast from the busy little town of Lixouri. Town revolves around the main square, where you’ll find local tavernas, bars and lively pavement cafés – and our great little yacht marina. It’s a brilliant location and really suits families with teens due to it’s proximity to town and only 45 mins transfer from the airport.

Single

Our Paliki Beach Club is only open throughout the main school holiday periods so we’re sorry to say this option is not available. However our other Lixouri Bay beach club is open from May to end Sept and we do have solo traveller options.

Couple

There’s no doubt that if you can early July is a great time visit Kefalonia. Cheap flights, less intense heat, loads of free sailing equipment, comfy studios and a wonderfully relaxed vibe about the place. Oh, and endless games of pit pat and backgammon.

Family/Friends

It’s amazing for families and ideally suited for children over 12 years old and older teens, as we don’t offer specific kids clubs and it’s a short walk into town with all it’s cafe’s, bars and summer buzz. However, our friendly beach team do all they can to get everyone on the water with sailing clinics and other fun activities organised on the beach such as regatta day and SUP excursions. A perfect family holiday.

Accommodation

We have an excellent range of rooms, hand-picked villas with pools and beach houses to suit your group and your pocket. Some of our properties are on-site, a stones throw from the club pool area, and others literally just a short level stroll away. No matter where you stay though, you’re always part of that Paliki Beach Club vibe and have full access to all the water sports & shore based facilities.

NOTE – our rooms are offered on a bed & breakfast basis and our villas/beach houses self-catering

Kefalonia island has a lovely Southern Mediterranean climate of long dry summers and warm wet winters. A jumper might be needed for the evenings in May and September with the odd drop of rain here and there, but throughout June, July and August it’s pretty much 25-35 degrees, sunny skies and clear warm waters.

Activities

We are so lucky to have a small beautiful beach virtually to ourselves, with cross shore reliable winds in an incredible sailing area – only about 60 metres from the club pool.

Our beach club opens it’s shack doors at 10 am and carries on through until the early evening to make the most of the best wind, closed over lunch. The water sports facilities are available 6 days per week, usually shut on our main changeover day Tuesday. We’ve a first come first serve system and we keep an eye out to ensure it’s fair, there is no need to pre-book boats, just turn up and go. The guys on the beach will help advise on the right kit to take out, rig and prepare it, and see you out safely.

In the morning whilst there’s light winds and calm seas it’s ideal for beginners in our stable dinghies, learning to windsurf and checking out our free tuition clinics . Or just lounge by the pool with a book, snorkel off the beach and explore the intricate reefs, or take a stand up paddle board along coastline with a guide and stop for a coffee or ice cream along the way.

The afternoon’s fresh cross shore winds are perfect for performance sailing on cats, all with that “piece of mind” of our support boat on hand to help.

Safety

Safety on the water is of course our first priority. Fully qualified RYA instructors run the beach operation and are vigilant both on the beach ,and on the water in our registered rescue craft with handheld VHF radios, always working to strict safety ratios and other proven guidelines. Mandatory buoyancy aids, mast floats on all boats to prevent full capsizes, restricted sailing areas and a compulsory “safety clinic” at the start of the week are just some of the many things we do.

Equipment

The kit

We have a fantastic range of kit from RS, Laser, Topper, Starboard, Red, Bic, Tushingham and Severne. Pre-booking isn’t needed, just wander down and off you go. We also have safety boats ready to go, and a full range of buoyancy aids for security. Here’s a selection of what we might have rigged and ready for you on the beach.

Topaz can be sailed by every member of the family; together or apart. Simply choose a rig to satisfy the sailor or sailors on the day.

Sailing an RS Neo at Lixouri Bay Beach Club

RS Neo

A single hander with a sparkling performance, easy handling and real durability, the RS Neo delivers maximum reward for minimum hassle. A step-up in speed without the demands of more radical designs. The RS Neo is accessible, exciting and great for a sail around the bay.

Laser Pico Dinghy

topper argo

4 adults – Spacious, comfortable multi-purpose sit-in sailboat with an asymmetric spinnaker rig and optional single trapeze. Outstanding versatility. Ideal for teaching, learning, club racing and recreational fun and family sailing. Capacity for up to four crew. Superb performance and exhilaration coupled with a smooth, well mannered and controllable ride.

Dinghy Sailing in a Topper Omega

Topper Omega

6 adults – Omega is just as happy sailed one up, two up or even seven up. The combination of the stability and performance together with reefing and easy control systems mean the Omega is the ultimate multi purpose family sailboat.

topper cx 14 catamaran

Catamaran Sailing Holidays

Topper CX 16 Catamaran

4 adults – The TOPAZ 16CX is an accessible but high-performance cat. The TOPAZ 16CX is an accessible but high-performance cat designed for a crew of two. The Topaz 16C has a twin trapeze and boasts a powerful 14.25m2 sail area courtesy of a large Dacron main and jib. The 16CX upgrade includes an impressive 11.18m2 gennaker. There’s room on the trampoline for 4 adults cruising or a family.

windsurf – starboard rio

These are the boards that cover learning, progressing and planing for the first time. They are considered all-rounders because they are equally good at providing stability for beginners to learn and providing power for progressing windsurfers to get planing smoothly. Once planing, the Rios feel responsive and fun. These qualities also make the Rio the number one choice for dozens of schools and centres.

windsurf – starboard carve / ATOM

The essence of freeride. The 2014/15 shapes are 8% slimmer on average in the midsection meaning they are extra stable and cover an even wider wind range than ever before. They plane earlier, carry bigger sails and ultimately reach faster speeds than before – more often and more effortlessly making these the ultimate plug and play freeride board. 95, 110 and 120 litre options

Windsurf sails – tushingham concept

The Concept’s power, super-easy handling and light weight make it the very best sail for progression and with respectable top-end stability, it will last well beyond the early stages of planing. 4.5m to 7m sizes to suit all winds.

SUPS – by Red

The World’s favourite inflatable S.U.P. shape, the Red Air is a classic design, with versatility and easy paddling for all but the heaviest of riders. River, ocean, flat water and small to medium waves – an easy-going nature that works for a huge range of riders in the widest range of environments.

sit on kayaks

Having two seats, the popular Bay 2 Kayak also allows the transport of a child in the central seat. Easy to carry and with excellent stability.

Food

the food at the beach club

Don’t expect drab international buffets cooked by spotty faced UK chefs – do expect to come home a little bit heavier though from the excellent variety of locally sourced and zinging-fresh, quality ingredients served at the club taverna or pool bar all day. From classic Greek kitchen dishes cooked by Mamma, seasonal salads and freshly grilled sardines, to a hearty club hamburger we will ensure that all dietary requirements are catered for. Or get some bits from the nearby mini market and sit on your balcony with a cold beer. There’s also some brilliant nearby tavernas on the beach or in town, all just a stroll away.

With 48 variety’s of grape grown locally and some very fine internationally recognised wines to try, along with some fantastic Hellenic beers, there’s plenty to enjoy.
