boat hire in Piraeus · Beneteau — Oceanis 40.1 (2022)

Dear Alexandros and crew of «Hellenic Fantasea Sailing». It was wonderful experience to get a boat from you for a week sail in Cyclades at the first week of October 2023. It was 5 of us on a beautiful brand-new boat Beneteau Oceanis 40.1 «Maranel». We have loved everything about that vacation sail trip experience. The boat itself: newly designed (version 2022) it has enormous amount of space on and under the deck, great facilities including good (very comfortable) amount of water supply for showers and other needs, more then enough fuel capacity — so the travel was comfortable all week long. And of course it is pleasure to mention the great sailing performance of boat of that design. We have made a long trip in that week — twice our leg continued for more then 7 hours in a strong Cyclades winds and high waves (although the weather was great all the time — winds in the sea, sun all the time and the calm great time in the harbours) — and nevertheless the power of nature in the sea was strong :) the boat did a great job, acted tremendously so we wear able to count on its navigation system and possibility of autopilot to keep the boat on the way even in the ruff seas and the wind and waves in the sharp angels. In one week we have sailed and motored a large distance form Marina Salamina — to Cape Sounio with the Temple of Poseidon — to Tinos with the great Orthodox Religion Culture and traditional Geek villages — to Mikonos with the great burlesque life — to Delos with the ancient Greek culture — to Ermoupoli on Syros with the Italian (Venetian)-French culture — back to Sounio for couple hours rest and swimming — and finally back to Salamina for returning the boat with which we felt in love completely. The major fun of that week was the way the crew of «Hellenic Fantasea Sailing» handles all parts of the rental boat service. The boat was extremely clean and in a good shape. The small and cosy yacht-club at Marina Lalamina made the process of taking and returning the boat easygoing, relaxing with the full attention to the guests needs. Thank you for all help, Alexandre and your crew! And, of course, would like to add that after the sailing trip at the same day of returning the boat and before the flight back we had time to make our walk up to Acropolis at Athens. So it seems that in one week we hade everything — lots of sailing, wonderful team building, sun, wind, swimming, site seeing, cultural experience, many new knowledges about Greece and new friends in Greece — especially at «Hellenic Fantasea Sailing». Thank you for everything and see you next time soon // Always yours, Artiom and crew

Thanks to Alexandros and Stravos we've had an amazing time on board the Maranel. Communication went smooth, responsive and professional and we received a lot of tips for a beautiful sailing trip along various islands in the vicinity of the Saronic gulf. The boat was in pristine condition and equipped with all our needs. Thank you Alexandros and Stravos for this wonderful experience, you’re hospitality and helpfulness are from another level!

Alex and Stavros are amazing. The boat was in excellent conditions and the service they gave us is just awesome. We will repeat next year for sure. I hope all the owners were like them. Thanks for this dream come true!

Thanks a lot for the grerat communication before and during our stay. All handled very well and with honesty. We appreciated recommendations and the lessons in greek history! Only 4 stars for the comfort because the boat (by design) can be quite noisy when moored and waves are coming from the front. And there is always room for improvement on "Value for money" ;-) Thanks again, great job, can really recommend.

Great choice! Alexandros was very helpful and the boat was on superb condition. Will be repeating in the future

The Maranel is a beautiful boat and equipped with everything we needed. Alexandros and Stavros were super helpful and communicative with everything. We had the most amazing time 😊😊😊
