This winter we are saying goodbye to two long serving yachts, that have been on the Nisos fleet since we started in year 2000.  Little Gem (Dufour 36) and Realt na Mara (Beneteau Oceanis 361) are leaving us for pastures new.  Little Gem is heading off to Turkey with her owner to explore that region, and Realt na Mara is heading north to Holland, where she will be used as a private yacht by her owner.  Farewell - and safe journeys!

It's not all bad news though.... We will be welcoming Starshine to the fleet in April 2009.  Starshine is a new Hanse 350 (2 cabin).  We have been looking at the Hanse yachts for many years and are delighted to be able to add one to our fleet for the first time.  These German built yachts are few and far between in the Ionian, so if you are lucky enough to charter her, you will be able to have that smug look on your face, secure in the knowledge that you are sailing the only charter Hanse around!

Starshine has a huge specification for a charter boat and will be a fantastic addition to the fleet!  Look out for her!
