Absolutely a wonderful decision to sail with Constantinos and perfect way to see the Saronic islands! Somber sleep aboard the boat, swimming in crystal clear waters, visiting interesting points along the way, and taking in the Greek culture. Costas is a true true sailor and son of Posieden, full of knowledge and a great Captain. Would highly recommend seeing Greece with him and through his eyes! Thank you Costas!
Had a wonderful time on the Nadia. Constantinos was unable to be our captain due to other commitments; however we couldn’t be happier with Vasilis as our Captain! He was very flexible and took us to amazing ports, coves for swimming, snorkeling, shopping! Our favorites were Hydra , Moni and Poros. The only issue we had was not realizing that the boat did not have air conditioning. It wasn’t too bad during the day as we were in the water most of the time… but at night it did get pretty hot with not much breeze/ventilation in cabin. Boat was otherwise very clean and well equipped. Thank you so much !
I recently had an unforgettable sailing experience with Captain Caesar, a friend and colleague of Constantinos. From start to finish, Caesar made everyone onboard feel incredibly comfortable. During our trip, there was never a dull moment. Caesar kept the discussions lively and engaging as we sailed along the Greek coastline. It was fascinating to learn about his extensive knowledge of the history, culture and hidden gems in the region. The level of hospitality and care shown by Caesar made the trip truly special. He ensured everyone's needs were met and that we all made the most of our time on the water. Whether asking for restaurant recommendations or casually learning navigation tips, Caesar had an answer for it all. Thanks to his superb people skills and sailing expertise, it was easy to relax and fully enjoy the scenery with peace of mind. I would highly recommend sailing with Caesar - with his impressive skill set and passion for what he does, your trip is sure to create memories to last a lifetime.
My daughters and I cannot recommend Constantinos Areteos and the Elan Naiada highly enough! To begin with, we experienced multiple hiccups with the planning and execution of our booking (no doubt user error ;^P). Constantinos was supremely patient, responsive, and helpful throughout. He was open and frank with us when discussing our itinerary inquiries and suggestions. He never promised anything he couldn't deliver. During our week upon the Naiada, we found Constantinos to be cheerful, humorous, informative, and personable. He is detail-oriented and truly knows his stuff: sailing, Greek history, the Greek islands, where to eat, what to see, the best coves for swimming, and much more! It was a pleasure spending a week with him; it was like traveling with a friend! Constantinos seems to have a solution for every quandary. Need a taxi? He works with an absolutely fabulous driver. Need restaurant suggestions for a different segment of your vacation? No problem! Even though it has nothing to do with him or your sail, he'll attempt to provide recommendations. His guidance was invaluable! The Naiada is a very comfortable vessel - in excellent condition, with all the amenities. We'd never been on a sailboat before but we found it amazingly spacious. The weather was perfect so (aside from sleeping or exploring an island) we were always on deck. However, had we needed to, there is a roomy and pleasant interior communal space with lots of light. Constantinos took excellent care of us; we would like nothing better than to sail with him again (everything crossed)! Book with him; you will not be disappointed!!!
Constantinos is a professional skipper, very organized and responsible. He made us feel relaxed and safe. Boat was clean, well maintained and conformable. We had great time and unforgettable moments.
Excellent experience! Constantinos was just wonderful. Excellent communication & recommendations for berths & restaurants throughout. Can’t recommend Constantinos highly enough. Thank you for a wonderful 5 days
We were the first to be on Constantinos boat after lockdown, felt very welcome and it felt like a little adventure because so much was still unclear regarding regulations. Perfect communication upfront. Constantinos is easy going, willing to think along with you as a traveler, and willing to go the extra mile. The boat is in good condition. Max 6 persons since it has three cabins.

Hi, I was born on the seaside and grew up watching sailing boats in front of our house. My dream was to sail and own a yacht some day. I did it before I was 20. Now I enjoy sailing with my family (2 kids) on leisure or as skipper. My profession allows me to plan my time, I am a Consultant in Marketing & Sales and also trainer for managers. Ι am 54 and sail large boats since 18 in my area, off Athens, the Aegean and Ionian seas. I love being on the sailboat, being free and away, with a company of friends, being able to go wherever no cars may go! I sail for our family holidays but also as skipper, showing charterers the nice coves, bays and beautiful ports. With friends' performance boats, I also love racing, we have won several cups! Would be happy to host you on board !
