The crew was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel comfortable from the start. The food on board was delicious and exceeded our expectations. Everything was well organized, and we truly had a wonderful time out on the water. Highly recommend this service for anyone looking for a fun and relaxing experience!
Excellent food, service and hosts, 10/10 would recommend.
Such an incredible boat trip. Captain was Fantastic had a laugh with the lads, and gave the kids some good stories. Kept us informed and safe whilst in the water. 10/10 recommend
Amazing crew, food and atmoshphere! I dropped my phone in the water, 10m deep and one of the crew members looked for it for 1h until he found it, regardless of me asking him to stop. It was a really touching gesture, which i appreciated very much. The food was unbelievably delicious, greek salad, shrimp pasta and fruit platter. We had an amazing day, truly recommend!
We had the best day on the boat with 11 friends, the crew was super friendly, the food was amazing, and the whole vibe was just perfect. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Highly recommend!
We chartered the boat on the 11th of July 2025, there was 10 adults and 7 kids of all different ages and the guys on board were excellent with us! I don’t think they were expecting that many kids but they definitely accommodated for us all! 10/10 service. The menu was tomato pasta with shrimps but in asked if we could have plain pasta and a plain tomato sauce and tomato sauce with shrimps so the kids would eat plain pasta as some don’t like shrimp which was no issue at all for us which was amazing, the food a was delicious, fruit platter was served after and unlimited beers, wine and juice - UNREAL!! The journey to Dia Island was amazing, we snorkelled, paddle boarded and done some fishing as well. The sunset on the way back was breathtaking photos could not do it justice! 11/10 and would recommend to this to everyone!
The boat ride was amazing. The crew were amazing. The whole booking process was straightforward. Would definitely book again
Absolutely beautiful experience from beginning to end. The crew were fantastic the communication from beginning to end absolutely spot on. The food was wonderful, the beautiful island was stunning. What more can I say beautiful memories made, they even went to the extra effort of decorating the boat for our honeymoon Thankyou 😊
Lovely afternoon on the sea… extremely disappointed by the wine served…
Amazing vessel and the crew went above and beyond
Great afternoon! Really nice crew and amazing boat
Thanks for an incredible day out! The crew were super friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience. The boat was lovely and spacious. We couldn't ask for more!
My husband and I had an amazing trip. We were well taken care of and didn’t have to want for a thing.
Ioannis and his crew were very cooperative and informative. The boat was well maintained. Will definitely recommend them.
Very nice
Had a fantastic afternoon and evening. Looked after professionally and friendly from start to finish! Skipper Dimitri was brill and our hostess Nadia was incredible! Nothing was too big or too small a request! Highly recommend and totally worth every penny! Thank you so much xx
What an incredible boat trip! I had the pleasure of embarking on a half-day journey with a nice staff member, and we absolutely loved the boat. Nadia was incredibly kind and made sure we had a wonderful experience throughout. The boat itself was simply stunning, boasting an elegant design and exceptional comfort. We were captivated by the breathtaking ocean views and the gentle sway of the waves during our excursion. A big thank you to Nadia and the entire crew for creating an unforgettable day at sea!
Breathtaking experience. Awesome Staff, would book it again all time 🙏🏼👍🏻
I had the opportunity to rent a sailboat today, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The crew was professional, very friendly, and explained everything perfectly. Without having to ask many questions, we received fascinating explanations about the tour and the surrounding area – just the right amount and never overwhelming. I was also particularly impressed by the amazing food that was conjured up on board. Added to that was a relaxed atmosphere with plenty of room for privacy. All in all, a fantastic tour that I can wholeheartedly recommend!
Everything perfect
We had a super cool day with nice weather and nice crew. Everything went as expected and we can recommend it to everyone!
Very nice trip. Great for larger groups.
