We had the pleasure of spending a week sailing the Cyclades with Nikos — and he was everything we hoped for in a skipper, and more. We were 2 couples with very little sailing experience, but Nikos made us feel safe and at ease from the very first moment. He single-handedly managed the boat, even in rough conditions with winds up to 40 knots, always calm, confident, and in control. His expert handling brought us safely back to harbor on that instance. Our days were spent swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing in beautiful bays, before heading to new destinations in the evenings. Nikos always had great recommendations for local tavernas and restaurants, and introduced us to places we never would have found on our own. His knowledge of the Cyclades — both the sea and the islands — is exceptional. One of the highlights was when he sourced fresh fish directly from local fishermen and helped us prepare it onboard — a truly unforgettable experience. Nikos was always respectful, friendly, and attentive to our wishes, striking the perfect balance between following our preferences and adapting to the weather to create a smooth, customized journey. We can’t recommend Nikos enough — he made this trip a unique and unforgettable sailing experience. We’ll definitely be booking our next Greek sailing adventure with him again!
My wife and I throughly enjoyed our 4 day trip on Niko’s boat. Niko and his wife were great hosts. The food was excellent and their combined knowledge of the islands was great. The boat was always clean and they were always accommodating. We saw some beautiful locations and some fantastic swimming. We would recommend the trip to anyone. Well worth the money and we would book again in a heartbeat!
If you were considering doing a boat trip, look no further because this is the best that Milos has to offer. The crew was fantastic, knowledgeable, and professional. The full experience of sailing the Cyclades is a once in a lifetime dream. We capped off our two week honeymoon in Greece with two days on Nikos’ boat. It was the absolute #1 highlight of our entire trip Greece. The island of Milos won our hearts and we couldn’t have had a better captain and host than Nikos and Johanna to take us around to secluded and awe-inspiring coves and beaches only accessible by boat. In our opinion there is no other way to explore these islands than doing a boat trip like this. Whether it’s a day trip or multiple days we highly recommend it! Sleeping with the bedroom hatch open looking at the Milky Way and stars was a memory we won’t forget. Snorkeling around and using the GoPro from the boat gave us some amazing underwater footage. Nikos and Johanna both cooked for us and always kept our bellies full with food and drinks. Whether you wanted your privacy or to chat and hang with the crew they made sure to accommodate and were professional and friendly throughout. At one point we heard there was only one beach that had a beach volleyball net. Nikos found the beach and from far out in the cove grabbed his binoculars and spotted a tiny glimpse of the volleyball net hiding behind the beach bar. We took the dingy in and played an intense match with some Italians who also played volleyball. The whole trip was perfect for us. Téleios! We wish we were still on the boat!
Great crew & superb boat ! We had a great time with Nikos & Johanna cruising around the West side of Milos. We will definitely come back !
Everything was excellent. Very friendly and fun to chat with. Delicious food. Boat was perfect for us. Whole family agreed that it was a great day. If you are looking for a boat rental in Milos, then look no further because you won't find a better one

A great sailing day! Mathilde and Nikos were very warm hosts and skilled sailors in a windy day. Good fun in a great boat!
I was so impressed with this young couple from the time they met us st the ferry. The efficient way they worked together to operate the sailing vessel was impressive and were both most knowledgeable about the history of the islands. At no time did I feel unsafe in this strong winds as the captain was clearly at ease and experienced. He had a good sense of humour & answered all of our questions. The meals his wife prepared for us were superb & indicative of the Greek culture. I was so impressed overall.
Top experience and beautiful cruise results of good scheduling by our hosts! Fun and easygoing, they took this experience to another level with their great personalities and service! We visited many locations around Milos and nearby islands and enjoyed all the fun activities the boat has to offer! Mathilde is an excellent hostess, talented cook and Nick an exceptional skipper with inside knowledge of the area!
Nikos is very kind and pleasant, he always tries to get away from the most crowded spots to provide a more exclusive experience. In addition to the food, which is plentiful and excellent. Everything impeccable. It is worth it.
