How does this work? Online shopping and Bespoke shopping
The function of our online shop is to allow you to have some provisions on your yacht or in your villa on the day that you arrive.
However Yacht Fresh & Villa Fresh run a bespoke shopping service which allows you to provision without boundaries. It offers you the chance to request your provisions for your whole holiday experience and the team at Yacht Fresh & Villa Fresh will do their utmost and best to source everything on your list. From Champagne to Gluten Free the team at Yacht Fresh & Villa Fresh have an extensive knowledge of product availability. Contact [email protected]
Whether you are a yacht owner, you are chartering a boat, or part of a flotilla holiday to enable you to have as much time as possible sailing and enjoy the beautiful Island of Lefkas and the surrounding cruising area rather than spending valuable time shopping for groceries and provisions
About Us
Yacht Fresh was a simple idea, working from out of a spare room and over the years it has grown to be a concept that works extremely well for people sailing from any location here on the island of Lefkada. With a base in Ligia we can easily access all harbors and marina’s for delivery to Yachts and Boats.
The team, Hazel, Alison and Simone have a vast experience of Lefkadian life having lived here for many years and with that an extensive knowledge of local produce and supplies.
We as a team pride ourselves on our commitment to “Buy local” and understand the impact your shop has for local people.
We work as a great team committed to meeting all your provisioning needs and answering any questions you may have.
Our Service
For yacht owners, bareboat charterers the benefits of pre provisioning and ordering meals allows for a quick departure from port on the day of arrival with no time wasted on shopping. All provisions are delivered on the day of your arrival ensuring there is a guarantee of fresh quality produce including local bread and fruit.
Our simple but hearty meals use local produce and we provide a selection of vegetarian options, these meals are frozen and delivered to your yacht on the day of arrival and placed in your fridge or cool box. We have a full comprehensive list of alcoholic drinks available to order including wines, spirits and local beer.
We are aware that Flotilla holidays work differently to other sailing holidays and most flotillas will spend evenings in ports to visit Taverna’s recommended by the flotilla leaders. However its always handy to pre order food that is quick to make with little preparation such as breakfast foods, bread, sandwich fillings, snacks, crisps and maybe the (odd) case or two of beer, wines etc.
As a supporter of reducing our carbon footprint and reducing the impact of landfill on these beautiful islands we have put together packs which are designed to provide the equipment you will need for your holiday without buying more than you need and ending your holiday with unused produce.
Most people charting yachts arrive here in Lefkas on a Sunday, for Greeks Sunday is a day of rest and other than the few `corner shops’ the large supermarkets will be closed meaning you may find you need to stay in port an extra day just to provision your boat. For us it doesn’t matter how small or large your order is, but we advise you to take advantage of our online shop prior to your holiday commencing, to arrive at your yacht with it equipped from the moment you step on board with full provisions for your holiday, no lugging packs of water, beers, wines, sourcing fresh produce and the arduous task of shopping for the week ahead, it will all be ready for you in the galley, so you are able to sit back relax and allow yourself a minute to congratulate yourself on a job well done!
Our Products
The provisions delivered to your yacht will be sourced from local suppliers, growers here on the island of Lefkas. The island’s climate allows for some of the best tasting meat, fruit and vegetables I personally have ever tasted as well as a excellent supply of local honey.
The idea to pre provision is not to stop people using the wonderful Taverna’s and local shops you may find on your sail. The islands provide some of the finest quality restaurants and Taverna’s, the idea is to ensure you have all the items you will need; our list is fairly comprehensive and hopefully covers all your requirements however if you find we have not mentioned a product that you would like to purchase please email us and we will endeavour to source it for you prior to your arrival.
However you choose to pre provision your boat is entirely left to you, by using our shopping list we can remove the hassle and you can start your adventure relaxed and ready to sail. Your pre ordered shopping can be paid for well in advance of your holiday through our paypal account and should you wish to visit our site again you can continue to add to your shopping list as required.
Bespoke Shopping
We are excited to continue with our new concept of Bespoke Shopping lists. This allows provisions for special dietary requirements as well as our customers being able to choose items we are not able to keep in stock due to the extensive list of produce available here on Lefkada. For questions please contact us via email or using the “Contact us” page.
