Catamaran Sailing
Hobie Cats on the Lixouri beach, rigged and ready. Free lessons and open sailing for confident dinghy sailors.
Catamaran Sailing holidays with BeyondBeach.
Catamaran sailing holidays from our Lixouri Bay Beach Club put a pair of Hobie Cats on the beach, rigged and ready by mid-morning. The afternoon sea breeze at Lixouri is made for cats: a long reach across the bay, trapezing hard on a warm thermal, back in time for a pool-side supper.
Catamarans are available to guests with single-handed dinghy experience. Our beach team will run you through the rigging and safety briefing on day one; after that the boats are yours to take out during open sailing sessions, with the rescue RIB on the water whenever the club is staffed.
If you're keen but not yet confident, the Kefalonia Flotilla and Intro to Sailing weeks make a great stepping stone, the yacht-sailing kit is much the same philosophy and the instructors often coach both fleets through the summer.
Hobie Cat sessions are included on the Lixouri Bay Beach Club week. Speak to the team on 01548 288459 for week suggestions and current fleet details.

Call the team on 01548 288459 Mon-Fri 9am-6pm or Sat 9am-1pm, or send an enquiry from any holiday page. We talk you through availability, dates and extras, email a written quote, and you confirm with a deposit. No online cart , every booking has a human on our side of it.
Deposits are typically 25% of the holiday cost at time of booking, with the balance due eight weeks before departure. Flights pay in full at booking. Your written quote spells out the exact figures and dates before you pay anything.
Flights are quoted alongside the holiday rather than bundled, so you only pay for the routing that works for you. We'll match flights to your preferred dates from your preferred UK airport, or if you'd rather book your own flights we can work around your schedule.
Yes. Our weeks run Saturday to Saturday by default but we can extend, combine two weeks back-to-back (flotilla followed by a beach-club week is a favourite), or add a pre- or post-holiday night somewhere. Mention it when you enquire and we will build the itinerary.
UK debit and credit card (no surcharge on debit), bank transfer, or Trust My Travel for protected payments. We do not accept cash. Card payments are processed by Stripe and never stored by us.
Yes, and we rarely charge for it if there is time before departure. Name changes, room upgrades, adding a child, swapping a cabin , tell us what you need. Some supplier charges (flight name changes, for example) are unavoidable but we'll quote those upfront.
Yes, and families are a big part of what we do. Beach clubs have free kids watersports from age six, the Alpine Family Club runs a kids club from 6 months to 16 years, and ski school programmes teach in English from age three. Cots, high chairs and interconnecting rooms are available on request.
Absolutely. Singles Sailing is purpose-built for solo travellers (no single supplement , you'll share a cabin with another solo sailor). On beach club weeks, yoga and BlitzFitness are especially popular with solo bookers, and we waive the single supplement on most weeks outside July and August school holidays.
Yes. Intro to Sailing is designed for complete beginners , no experience needed. Every beach club has coached clinics included daily and RYA-qualified instruction at the watersports centre. Ski school teaches English from Day One green-runs up. We'll match you to the right level on arrival.
Yes. West Coast Flotilla and Yacht Charter are aimed squarely at sailors with miles under the keel. Val Thorens and the Three Valleys cover expert-level off-piste with a guide. We'll discuss your experience at the quote stage so the week matches your expectations.
No. Our clubs are all-inclusive but not all-you-can-eat , a lot of guests use one activity a day and spend the rest of the time reading by the pool. The programme is a menu, not a timetable. You decide what you do.
Let's talk it through. We've all been there.
Every person in our UK office has stayed at the holiday you're looking at. Ask anything: which week is best, what to pack, which flight saves you a connection.
Chat with us or send an enquiry, or call if you'd rather. No call centres, no scripts, no upsell. Just honest advice from people who genuinely run these holidays.
