Overall rating
We rented this boat with my family which included 2 young children. It was as described and the captain was great. We did hit some strong winds on the way back which made us a little nervous but the skipper handled everything well. We only went to one location however, I think because of the conditions.
We had an unforgettable sailing trip! From the start communication was excellent, and our crew Captain Alex and Pavlos were absolutely amazing. They were both so knowledgeable, sharing interesting facts about Dia Island that made the experience even more special. They took us to a beautiful, more private spot where we could enjoy swimming in crystal-clear waters away from the crowds. Onboard, we were treated to delicious snacks and fresh fruit, which was the perfect touch. The highlight of the day was sailing back as the sun set over the horizon it truly couldn’t have been more perfect. A huge thank you to Alex and Pavlos for making the trip so memorable. Thank you!!!
The best experience out of our whole month travelling Greece! Both the captain and assistance provided top service and was extremely knowledgeable - couldn’t fault anything! We will 100% be returning next year for a multi day trip with the crew, highly recommend!
Sunset sailing trip - Perfect! And 6 out of 5 stars! From the very first message, we felt in good hands: clear information, quick replies, and friendly communication. We arrived a little early, enjoyed a drink at the marina café, and while we were there, informed the owner that we were already there. Alex and Pavlos (the crew) picked us up right away. Pavlos waited patiently until we were ready and kindly accompanied us to the boat. He even offered to carry our bags. Since it was a private trip, we were allowed to choose which bay we wanted to anchor in. Alex explained the different options and their advantages, and along the way, he provided us with fascinating information about the island. Once we arrived, we were provided with snacks and drinks. Swimming equipment such as fins, diving goggles, and pool noodles were provided. The crew then moved below deck for the entire stay to give us sufficient privacy. However, he was always approachable and very accommodating without being pushy or pretentious. When we were finished swimming, Alex suggested, since we still had some time, if we wanted to see the other two bays—of course!—and off we went. On the way back, we were recommended the best spot for sunset. In conclusion, all that remains to be said is that this is the right place for anyone who wants to enjoy a sailing trip in a relaxed, untouristy, and almost family-friendly atmosphere. Once again, a big thank you to Alex and Pavlos, and all the best for the future!
Eight of us booked a cruise and had two young, very friendly, and dedicated crew members. The trip was fantastic, the food was delicious, and we had a blast. Thank you for the safe and wonderful trip! I would sail with you again anytime.
