GUARDIENNAGE

We understand as boat owners that leaving your prized possession for any length of time can be a unnerving experience. For many people their boat is like a second home, which is why we know how important it is that your boat is properly looked after. We offer a year round gardiennage service so you can leave with peace of mind that your boat is in the capable hands of our experienced team.

DOCUMENT ASSISTANCE

We understand that the paperwork that comes with owning a boat can be a daunting experience, especially in a foreign country. Our office team has extensive knowledge regarding all manner of paperwork; whether it is related to Transit Logs, clearing in or out of customs, TEPAI, or simply changing the Crew List from one owner to the next. We are here to help, JUST ASK!

Yacht Club Support

A Helping Hand 24/7

As boats increase in complexity we realise that sometimes, as Captain of the vessel, you will be faced with a situation which requires extra assistance to resolve. This can be anything from a broken engine, a snagged anchor or even shore-side support.

Our helping hand support service is designed with every eventuality in mind. Whether by phone, email, vehicle or high speed RIB, our technical team and office staff are on hand to smooth any issues and set you on your way.

Recommendations when leaving your vessel.

If leaving your boat, please ensure adequate chain is out. More is better.

All seacocks, with exception to the engine inlet, should be closed.

Please ensure that the fuel to the engine is left on.

We would recommend that your bimini is left folded back and secured.

Please ensure that your Genoa has been tightly furled with none of the sail extruding.

Furling mainsails should be correctly furled. With non furling mainsails please ensure that stack packs or sail covers are secure. We would recommend that the main halyard is removed from the sail.

Removable items (e.g. Outboards) should be stowed in a safe lockable place.

Dinghy – Please ensure that your dinghy is not left in the water. It should be suitably stowed either on deck or packed away. Particular attention should be paid to floorboards and oars and how the dinghy is secured.

Leaving your fridge slightly open is recommended. From experience we recommend that canned drinks are not left in fridges over prolonged periods.

Remember to turn your gas off.

Remember to take your rubbish out.

If leaving your boat at anchor, please leave your shorelines to be used, in an obvious location in the cockpit lockers, in the event that the boat needs to be brought to the quayside.

Where to anchor:

Please do not anchor too close into the shore. It makes it difficult for vessels leaving and departing from the town quay. Remember to empty your holding tank before entering the bay. It should be noted that under Greek Law an anchor light is required.

Vliho Yacht Club Claimed

Add a Review

Description

We are based in the heart of Vliho and easily accessed by land or sea. The bay is a popular spot for sailors due to its safe anchorage and shelter. With hot showers, laundry facilities, live sporting events, free Wi-Fi, book swap and plenty of information on local amenities it’s a great place to come ashore to rest and recoup. The bar and restaurant is a haven for seafarers and land lovers alike; the perfect spot to sit and watch the world go by overlooking our beautiful little corner of paradise. With an international menu offering a combination of British classics, Mediterranean favorites and some spicy numbers, you’ll have no trouble finding a little bit of what you fancy.

Our restaurant – tavern

The Vliho Yacht Club Restaurant has a rich Mediterranean menu and irresistible daily offers created from local seasonal ingredients. The round open-air bar overlooking the bay of Vlychos, is a great place to meet people, share your stories, exchange views and have a good time.

Yacht Charter

At Vliho Yacht Club we offer flexible holidays with no designated turnaround day. So, no matter when, where or how you travel to us we can accommodate your yacht charter in Lefkada, Greece, to suit your trip. Our charter fleet can be booked bare-boat or with a skipper, meaning no matter your experience, we can provide you with everything you need to make your sailing holiday one to remember.

Our Yacht Charter Fleet

Our charter boat fleet consists of a range of 32ft – 43ft Beneteau, Jeanneau and Bavaria Yachts. These renowned and reliable models are easy to handle allowing for a maximum sailing performance with minimal effort. They are all equipped with an electric windlass to allow for quick lifting and dropping of the anchor; ideal and perfectly suited to make the most of the excellent sailing area we have here in the Ionian Sea.

Morning Calm

Charter Time

Your yacht will be ready by 4pm on your arrival day until 10am on the day of your departure. Flights arriving in the morning or around lunchtime are ideal as we can do your yacht brief promptly, ensuring you are out sailing that same afternoon. Late arrivals will be welcomed with a basic briefing to ensure you are comfortable on board your first night. We will do a full yacht briefing the following morning so you can make the most of your first full day.

Ruairi & Vicky Bradley founded Vliho Yacht Club in 2003. After working in Greece from the early 90’s, they travelled extensively on their own classic wooden yacht, before ending up in Ireland. Four years of project managing a new marina build there, had them yearning for a life with more sunshine, hence the Yacht Club in Lefkas, Greece.

As experienced sailors ourselves, the Vliho team’s concept was to create a place for people to meet as sailors, holiday makers or residents of Lefkas, and gather information, relax, eat well and feel at home. Vliho Yacht Club has realized all this and more. The club is now the base for an ever-growing community of locals, Greek and foreign, and visitors who return year after year. The Yacht Club has now expanded to include great value Yacht Charter holidays and Technical Yacht services.

What Makes The Ionian Such A Great Sailing Spot?

Lefkada (or Lefkas) island is situated right in the heart of the beautiful Ionian. You don’t have to be here long to realise why this place has people returning year after year. With crystal clear waters and lush green mountains creating a picturesque landscape, the Ionian is one of the prettiest and most popular sailing areas in Europe. Setting sail from our base here in Vliho, you can pick almost any point on a compass, directing you to one of the many stunning destinations the area has to offer. Whether it’s a quayside mooring in a local village you’re aiming for, or sailing towards the complete bliss of anchoring in a secluded bay, the choice of destinations to explore here is endless, and with so many islands just a short distance away, you never have to visit the same place twice.

New to the area? Our team can recommend lots of good anchorage spots, quiet bays to avoid any crowds, where to sample the finest local cuisine and even the locations best known for spotting the local sea life including turtles, Mediterranean monk seals and various species of dolphins.

Not Just Great For Sailing...

The island has so much more to offer than just great sailing conditions. The mountainous backdrops and hidden valleys provide us with miles of hiking and biking trails, ideal to get amongst the trees and shade from the heat of the summer sun. Vasiliki bay on the south of the island is also one of the most popular windsurf locations in the world, with its prominent afternoon winds that also provide great dinghy sailing conditions for those with a bit of experience. Looking for an activity to mark a special occasion? Why not paraglide from the top of the island?! If however it’s something a little more relaxing you’re after, why not visit some of the world famous award winning beaches on the west coast of the island, breathtakingly blue sees and dramatic rock faces, the west coast feels like a completely different island altogether.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such option offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!” wrote (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as this offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This website (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other website sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center: Hotel Ukraine and Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.

Vliho Yacht Club

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

This is a great place - a slightly hidden away jewel at the end of a beautiful bay. Vicky is so welcoming, friendly and helpful with advice. Phone ahead and she will keep you a space on the wall - phone 5 minutes before you... arrive and she will guide you in and take your lines. Then go into the club and Heather will look after you in the bar and restaurant with a lovely varied menu and great conversation. Sadly we missed Sunday lunch but will visit again next year to partake. Water is available on the wall. There are showers and laundry equipment in the club, and next door is a general dealer and a pharmacy (oddly also selling kinky boots), so everything a sailor needs! More

The best place ever, a warm welcome, drinks and home made food. I cannot recommend this place highly enough, it offers something that reviews can not capture in words. Anytime we’re nearby we will visit again. And open all year! Thank you!

Dined at Vliho Yacht Club many times while sailing in the Ionian Sea. Food is down to earth, it is always very busy. There are many locals who could choose to drive to Nidri for meals, but continue to visit the Yacht Club, they should... know why. More

Undoubtedly friendly service and an extensive menu on offer. Food was okay and welcome if you wanted general European rather than greek food. Prices are very fair. The boating service is exceptional, however, I have been here on at least half a dozen occasions and... almost without fail, I get the feeling that it is a regulars bar haunt. Certainly on most occasions I have been present, by 7pm someone has more than drank their fill, and as a solo traveller that is a bit off putting. Of course this is not managements problem, as excess alcohol does seem to figure in a lot of boaters way of life. The answer is to sit at a table and just watch life unfold! More

I’ve just arrived in Vliho for a while, I had been recommended to try the Yacht Club. Fabulous, delicious food, cold drinks, lovely atmosphere and amazing friendly staff. To be honest, they go above and beyond to help out, even the patrons do. What a... welcome. I will be visiting Vliho Yacht Club a lot. More

I can’t say enough positive things about VYC. It’s our boat’s home, it’s a welcome bar and restaurant, Vicky and Ruairi are so friendly and so helpful. The drinks are great and the food is good too. It’s also a great place to chill in... the day. More

Nice people , nice atmosphere for a beer or a drink in the bar and afterwards a nice meal. The place is also a yacht club where they know everything about chartering/ repairs or simply just anything you need to know when sailing in this... area of Greece! More

We stopped here for dinner one evening and was not disappointed. The staff were friendly and soon showed us to our table. The menu was small, but there was a reasonable choice, there was 5 of us and we all found something fairly quickly, we... were not disappointed when the food arrived, well presented, tasteful and plenty. We then decided to have desert, a small choice, but again covered all our tastes, again was not unhappy with our choices, the portions were huge and again very tasteful. Perhaps not the cheapest restaurant in the area, but as they say you get what you pay for and we were not disappointed. Would we go again - YES (and soon) 5 of us with drinks, main and desert was €95 and we did not leave hungry. More

This was the start and end point of a 2 week sailing adventure around the Ionian Sea on the wonderful yacht Gaia. The Yacht Club is amazing - helpful, friendly and lovely staff. Food is great with a great range on the menu. Definitely worth... a visit. More

Thank You for the great review! Hope to see you again soon. The VYC Team

Had the pleasure of organising 19 fellow sailors for Sunday roast which was delicious....even cauliflower cheese with it (my favourite) ...pudding also fantastic! Great prices and very friendly staff.

You won’t be disappointed! Amazingly friendly staff, food to satisfy and clean, hot showers. Thanks guys for an extremely enjoyable stay 😁

A great experience. I had blue marlin with coconut sauce, linda had tuna salad with semi cooked fish. Both were excellent. Service was good.

Had heard great things about this place. But very disappointing visit. It's clearly well frequented by local ex pats and regular yacht visitors who like the staff because they recognise them and pass the time of day. As newcomer yachties we didn't think it lived... up to it's "yacht club" name. Food was mediocre. Staff unkempt and walking around with bare feet including in the kitchen and behind the bar. One male member if staff walked in and out frequently with bare chest, no shoes and shorts just about covering his bottom! The wcs weren't clean and the shower floors were flooded. There was an event being planned so lots of attention on moving tables around which would have been better spent making new visitors feel welcome. Won't visit again. More

Hi Chris, Thank you for taking the time to comment about your visit to the Yacht Club. We take all feedback very seriously and we will be looking into all your points raised. We wish to maintain our usually high standard. We hope that you... More

We chartered Bunny Girl through Vliho Yacht Club for a week sailing the Ionian and the whole experience was brilliant. Debbie organised us to perfection, the staff at the club were helpful and friendly. The yacht was clean and well maintained. But by far the... stand out feature was the skipper provided by the club. Josh was simply fantastic. He sailed with us all week and managed to find the perfect balance between letting us enjoy our family holiday and joining in. By the end of the week it was easy to forget he wasn’t actually one of us! He even managed to tempt a pod of dolphins into surfing our bow wave on our last day. A fabulous family holiday the six of us on Bunny Girl will never forget. More

Our first trip to Vliho yacht club. This is an absolute haven. Wonderful cocktails and delicious English food. A really great team looking after our shared boat. Servicing and leaving linen to wash. Nothing is too much trouble.The restaurant staff, the engineers, everyone is so... nice here really lovely helpful staff. I would highly recommend this yacht club for looking after your boat. So, thank you everyone not forgetting Vicky. More

The Comprehensive Guide to Moscow Nightlife

Posted on April 14, 2018 July 26, 2018
by Kings of Russia
8 minute read

Moscow’s nightlife scene is thriving, and arguably one of the best the world has to offer – top-notch Russian women, coupled with a never-ending list of venues, Moscow has a little bit of something for everyone’s taste. Moscow nightlife is not for the faint of heart – and if you’re coming, you better be ready to go Friday and Saturday night into the early morning.

This comprehensive guide to Moscow nightlife will run you through the nuts and bolts of all you need to know about Moscow’s nightclubs and give you a solid blueprint to operate with during your time in Moscow.

What you need to know before hitting Moscow nightclubs

Prices in moscow nightlife.

Before you head out and start gaming all the sexy Moscow girls , we have to talk money first. Bring plenty because in Moscow you can never bring a big enough bankroll. Remember, you’re the man so making a fuzz of not paying a drink here or there will not go down well.

Luckily most Moscow clubs don’t do cover fees. Some electro clubs will charge 15-20$, depending on their lineup. There’s the odd club with a minimum spend of 20-30$, which you’ll drop on drinks easily. By and large, you can scope out the venues for free, which is a big plus.

Bottle service is a great deal in Moscow. At top-tier clubs, it starts at 1,000$. That’ll go a long way with premium vodka at 250$, especially if you have three or four guys chipping in. Not to mention that it’s a massive status boost for getting girls, especially at high-end clubs.

Without bottle service, you should estimate a budget of 100-150$ per night. That is if you drink a lot and hit the top clubs with the hottest girls. Scale down for less alcohol and more basic places.

Dress code & Face control

Door policy in Moscow is called “face control” and it’s always the guy behind the two gorillas that gives the green light if you’re in or out.

In Moscow nightlife there’s only one rule when it comes to dress codes:

You can never be underdressed.

People dress A LOT sharper than, say, in the US and that goes for both sexes. For high-end clubs, you definitely want to roll with a sharp blazer and a pocket square, not to mention dress shoes in tip-top condition. Those are the minimum requirements to level the playing field vis a vis with other sharply dressed guys that have a lot more money than you do. Unless you plan to hit explicit electro or underground clubs, which have their own dress code, you are always on the money with that style.

Getting in a Moscow club isn’t as hard as it seems: dress sharp, speak English at the door and look like you’re in the mood to spend all that money that you supposedly have (even if you don’t). That will open almost any door in Moscow’s nightlife for you.

Types of Moscow Nightclubs

In Moscow there are four types of clubs with the accompanying female clientele:

High-end clubs:

These are often crossovers between restaurants and clubs with lots of tables and very little space to dance. Heavy accent on bottle service most of the time but you can work the room from the bar as well. The hottest and most expensive girls in Moscow go there. Bring deep pockets and lots of self-confidence and you have a shot at swooping them.

Regular Mid-level clubs:

They probably resemble more what you’re used to in a nightclub: big dancefloors, stages and more space to roam around. Bottle service will make you stand out more but you can also do well without. You can find all types of girls but most will be in the 6-8 range. Your targets should always be the girls drinking and ideally in pairs. It’s impossible not to swoop if your game is at least half-decent.

Basic clubs/dive bars:

Usually spots with very cheap booze and lax face control. If you’re dressed too sharp and speak no Russian, you might attract the wrong type of attention so be vigilant. If you know the local scene you can swoop 6s and 7s almost at will. Usually students and girls from the suburbs.

Electro/underground clubs:

Home of the hipsters and creatives. Parties there don’t mean meeting girls and getting drunk but doing pills and spacing out to the music. Lots of attractive hipster girls if that is your niche. That is its own scene with a different dress code as well.

What time to go out in Moscow

Moscow nightlife starts late. Don’t show up at bars and preparty spots before 11pm because you’ll feel fairly alone. Peak time is between 1am and 3am. That is also the time of Moscow nightlife’s biggest nuisance: concerts by artists you won’t know and who only distract your girls from drinking and being gamed. From 4am to 6am the regular clubs are emptying out but plenty of people, women included, still hit up one of the many afterparty clubs. Those last till well past 10am.

As far as days go: Fridays and Saturdays are peak days. Thursday is an OK day, all other days are fairly weak and you have to know the right venues.

The Ultimate Moscow Nightclub List

Short disclaimer: I didn’t add basic and electro clubs since you’re coming for the girls, not for the music. This list will give you more options than you’ll be able to handle on a weekend.

Preparty – start here at 11PM

Classic restaurant club with lots of tables and a smallish bar and dancefloor. Come here between 11pm and 12am when the concert is over and they start with the actual party. Even early in the night tons of sexy women here, who lean slightly older (25 and up).

The second floor of the Ugolek restaurant is an extra bar with dim lights and house music tunes. Very small and cozy with a slight hipster vibe but generally draws plenty of attractive women too. A bit slower vibe than Valenok.

Very cool, spread-out venue that has a modern library theme. Not always full with people but when it is, it’s brimming with top-tier women. Slow vibe here and better for grabbing contacts and moving on.

High-end: err on the side of being too early rather than too late because of face control.

Secret Room

Probably the top venue at the moment in Moscow . Very small but wildly popular club, which is crammed with tables but always packed. They do parties on Thursdays and Sundays as well. This club has a hip-hop/high-end theme, meaning most girls are gold diggers, IG models, and tattooed hip hop chicks. Very unfavorable logistics because there is almost no room no move inside the club but the party vibe makes it worth it. Strict face control.

Close to Secret Room and with a much more favorable and spacious three-part layout. This place attracts very hot women but also lots of ball busters and fakes that will leave you blue-balled. Come early because after 4am it starts getting empty fast. Electronic music.

A slightly kitsch restaurant club that plays Russian pop and is full of gold diggers, semi-pros, and men from the Caucasus republics. Thursday is the strongest night but that dynamic might be changing since Secret Room opened its doors. You can swoop here but it will be a struggle.

Mid-level: your sweet spot in terms of ease and attractiveness of girls for an average budget.

Started going downwards in 2018 due to lax face control and this might get even worse with the World Cup. In terms of layout one of the best Moscow nightclubs because it’s very big and bottle service gives you a good edge here. Still attracts lots of cute girls with loose morals but plenty of provincial girls (and guys) as well. Swooping is fairly easy here.

I haven’t been at this place in over a year, ever since it started becoming ground zero for drunken teenagers. Similar clientele to Icon but less chic, younger and drunker. Decent mainstream music that attracts plenty of tourists. Girls are easy here as well.

Sort of a Coyote Ugly (the real one in Moscow sucks) with party music and lots of drunken people licking each others’ faces. Very entertaining with the right amount of alcohol and very easy to pull in there. Don’t think about staying sober in here, you’ll hate it.

Artel Bessonitsa/Shakti Terrace

Electronic music club that is sort of a high-end place with an underground clientele and located between the teenager clubs Icon and Gipsy. Very good music but a bit all over the place with their vibe and their branding. You can swoop almost any type of girl here from high-heeled beauty to coked-up hipsters, provided they’re not too sober.

Afterparty: if by 5AM you haven’t pulled, it’s time to move here.

Best afterparty spot in terms of trying to get girls. Pretty much no one is sober in there and savage gorilla game goes a long way. Lots of very hot and slutty-looking girls but it can be hard to tell apart who is looking for dick and who is just on drugs but not interested. If by 9-10am you haven’t pulled, it is probably better to surrender.

The hipster alternative for afterparties, where even more drugs are in play. Plenty of attractive girls there but you have to know how to work this type of club. A nicer atmosphere and better music but if you’re desperate to pull, you’ll probably go to Miks.

Weekday jokers: if you’re on the hunt for some sexy Russian girls during the week, here are two tips to make your life easier.

Chesterfield

Ladies night on Wednesdays means this place gets pretty packed with smashed teenagers and 6s and 7s. Don’t pull out the three-piece suit in here because it’s a “simpler” crowd. Definitely your best shot on Wednesdays.

If you haven’t pulled at Chesterfield, you can throw a Hail Mary and hit up Garage’s Black Music Wednesdays. Fills up really late but there are some cute Black Music groupies in here. Very small club. Thursday through Saturday they do afterparties and you have an excellent shot and swooping girls that are probably high.

Shishas Sferum

This is pretty much your only shot on Mondays and Tuesdays because they offer free or almost free drinks for women. A fairly low-class club where you should watch your drinks. As always the case in Moscow, there will be cute girls here on any day of the week but it’s nowhere near as good as on the weekend.

In a nutshell, that is all you need to know about where to meet Moscow girls in nightlife. There are tons of options, and it all depends on what best fits your style, based on the type of girls that you’re looking for.
