We had the absolute best time on our trip and would 100% recommend this to anyone looking to explore the Greek Islands. Orestis was the best skipper, very attentive and knowledgeable and willing to join in on the fun. We had a great crew who were up for the adventure and really loved the sailing aspect along with all the challenges that come with it. If you’re looking for a hands on, real down to earth experience then this would definitely be for you. This trip was the highlight of our time in Greece! Thank you Orestis and George :)

Réunion

Un séjour dont je me souviendrai longtemps. Cette navigation au cœur des petites Cyclades avant la pleine saison était dépaysante et ressourçante. George a su faire preuve d'une présence et communication remarquables avant de nous confier au skipper de la navigation. Au-delà du confort et de la beauté du voilier, nous avons gouté à l'authenticité de la Grèce, à la convivialité et fluidité de la vie en mer. Découverte de petits paradis perdus, exploration des grottes et des grands bleus, charme des petits villages et saveurs des tavernes traditionnelles. Le skipper Fotis K. a su nous partager ses talents de navigation, son amour de l'eau, et le lifestyle grec avec beaucoup de passion et d'humilité. Nous n'aurons pu rêver mieux, pour plonger au cœur de cette culture singulière qui vit avec la mer. Une expérience unique que je recommanderai à toutes les personnes en recherche d'immersion, d'exploration et de douceur de vivre. Merci à tous, c'était magique.

La croisière s’est très bien passée tout au long de la semaine. L’organisation était au rendez vous à bord, bons spot de baignade et bonnes tavernes le soir. Nous avons dû adapté le programme en fonction de la météo (ce qui est normal avec une croisière à la voile) et n’avons malheureusement pas pu faire beaucoup de voile (absence de vent puis trop de vent). Merci beaucoup George et Fotis pour tout.

There were so many things wrong with this sail trip that it’s hard to know where to begin. Luckily the other folks on board and the Cyclades themselves were amazing, so it was possible to have a sense of humour about the whole thing. I didn't find George a reliable person. George wasn’t on board! But he doesn’t bother to tell you that. His description of the trip and what to expect is misleading in many respects, eg “I offer carefully crafted sailing holidays for everyone, always doing the extra step and with a very personal service” Several people on the boat raised various serious and legitimate complaints with George both during and after the trip. I had the feeling that safety procedures were not observed. There was no safety briefing, and we weren’t even told where the life jackets were or what to do if something happened to the skipper. For me: to avoid! There are other operators you could choose. ---------- *GEORGE'S RESPONSE* Miss G Z thank you very much for your feedback. We take any feedback very seriously, especially any negative one. The process of listening with attention to each customer helps us understand whether we are performing -as we usually feel we do - or there are things which could be done better. On the other hand -fortunately very rarely- negative reviews like this present one, are clearly just related to traveller's failed attempt to get free holidays. The so-called revenge reviews. On day 2, Miss G Z complained about an itinerary change which was imposed by the weather and happened clearly in favour of the group’s experience and safety. I personally responded immediately to this complaint, did every extra step -even crossed 40nm in rough seas with a motorboat to meet G Z in person - to understand better her specific expectations from the group-shared sailing experience, she had joined just the previous day. When G Z did not show up to this meeting and instead sent us an sms asking for money it became very clear that she was just after free holidays and not after a professional and uncompromised service, as we do offer since 2010. Some booking engines choose to firewall revenge reviews as fake and misleading and others -like Sailsquare- choose to publish and let the reader filter by themselves. The good part of this latter approach is that it reconfirms the authenticity of all reviews, including all the 5-star ones. George
