Yacht charter in Mykonos · Jeanneau — Sun Odyssey 49 (2006)

Apostolos was an excellent host. He made us feel welcome and went above and beyond to meet our needs. He was very flexible with the program, made his best to please us and was eager to include us in the sailing process. We always felt safe on his boat, despite the weather conditions. The boat is very comfortable for 6 passengers, but can certainly accommodate 4 couples. Everything was working well and the level of equipment was very satisfying. Overall great experience.

Me and my friends we enjoyed every moment on the boat! The boat was super comfortable for all of us and the most important was our skipper Apostolis, which he was always kind with us and we became friends all together! I have already start to count the days for the next one!! Thank you for this amazing experience!!

Apostolos was a great shipper! He made our trip incredible and took us to the greatest spots around the Cyclades. He also gave us amazing tips on where to have dinner / visit in the towns we stopped at. The sailboat is everything you need, spacious and very clean. Definitely an experience to repeat!

Unfortunately our rental was not as advertised. This boat is advertised as having 4 berths and that is what we needed for our family of 6 as our kids are all teenagers and large built athletes. When we boarded we were only offered 3 of the 4 which was not enough for our family of 6, this meant that my husband or myself every night had to sleep on the seating on deck because my adult daughter and teenage son had to share the larger bed that we had planned on using. They had meant to each have their own of the smaller berths. It was completely unacceptable that this took place considering the amount of money we had spent on the charter. The owner had mistaken the time he was to pick us up so he left right away to collect the towels as soon as we boarded. There was no walk through no explanation of how to work the toilets or showers no safety introduction we were not even shown where the life vest were located. The “host” is the owner’s girlfriend and there was no hosting it instead felt like another person on our family trip so it was at times very uncomfortable. I would have expected a host to have maybe have shown us the boat or hung towels or helped empty garbages or told us some info about the islands but she didn’t do anything other than set and pull the anchor and make meals for herself and the owner and wash dishes. The trip would have been much better not having her on board. In the ad it says 4 berths there are only 3, it mentioned wifi there is none, there is also not a paddle board and the fans only work if you are hooked up to shore power and the last night even being hooked up they did not work as he couldn’t get the power hooked up correctly. As we were in the beautiful islands of Greece we made the best out of it that we could but we are leaving this review so no one else ends up in the same situation that we were placed in.

We had the most wonderful experience sailing with Apostolos on the Aegean this summer! I cannot recommend enough! Apostolos was incredibly patient and accommodating for our group of 8 that arrived and departed at different times from Mykonos. He helped design an itinerary that made time for dining, proper sailing, and turquoise water swimming ! While we had the itinerary as a structure, I also appreciated the flexibility to adjust on the fly when we preferred to dine on the boat with a meal prepared by the friendly hostess instead of dining on land. We always felt safe on the boat and I appreciated his transparency on all things in advance. Truly the best way to experience the Greek islands! Bonus was that he knew lots about Greek mythology which the group loved hearing sailing through the Aegean :)

We rented the boat for three days and on the first day we spent three hours waiting for the Captain to maintain the boat, delaying our schedule for the day. During the trip we ran out of gas from the stove and had to improvise with a small stove, which was dangerously in the middle of the boat. On the third day, the Captain, without agreeing with anyone, took the boat out to sea, WITH ALL MY FAMILY SLEEPING, we woke up to the noise of the engine and the crash of the waves, because the sea was rough. To sum up my experience, which despite some good moments, was very unpleasant. I understand that Captain Apostolos is very young and immature, he makes bad decisions and is inflexible, as well as does not properly maintain his boat.

From our first communication with Apostolos until we sadly left him on the dock in Naxos our experience was nothing short of amazing. He was a true professional in every way and lots of fun. He was so on it with his sailing skills and made sure we always had what we needed to be comfortable. Combine that with his knowledge of Greek history and a great chill attitude We managed to find some amazing places to stop during our week on board and would recommend him to anyone looking for a sailing experience of a lifetime.
