This experience, in a nutshell

One-way cruise from the lesser-known Peloponnese: Porto Cheli (2 hours by ferry from Piraeus) to the islands south of Athens, destination of rich Athenian shipowners (Spetses) and intellectuals from all over the world (Hydra the favorite of Leonard Cohen), then the theater of Epidaurus and the submerged city, the transparent waters of Angistri and the fish market of Aegina. A varied itinerary full of surprising corners of beauty: a calm sea with never excessive wind and bays where you can hide for relaxing swims.

Arrival at the bustling Lavrio (30 minutes by taxi from Athens airport)

Had a wonderful time sailing with Renato and Luciana on their 54 Jenneau sail boat "Lulu"! The boat is very comfortable and sea kindly and Renato is an expert captain and "Lulu" a fantastic chef meals onboard were delishious! They know the best ports harbors and bays for swimming and sightseeing ashore. It was a great vacation plus sailing vacation very highly recommended and would definitely go again!

From Kos to SANTORINI and IOS to discover all the Cyclades with a luxury boat - hostess/chef on board

Esperienza unica, con due professionisti del mare. La vacanza a vela riserva sempre tante avventure e a differenza di tante altre esperienze si basa molto sulla sensibilità dello skipper a definire il programma giornaliero sulla base delle previsioni meteo. Renato, con la sua vastissima esperienza, è riuscito a tirare fuori il meglio dalla settimana, facendoci esplorare posti straordinariamente belli. Lulú ha condito il tutto con lo stile e la cura dei dettagli, deliziandoci con la sua ottima cucina. La barca è stupenda, pulitissima e affidabile! Consigliatissimi.

From the Dodecanese to Turkey away from the crowds - Hostess / Chef on board

Barca bellissima, veramente molto curata. Ogni destinazione è stata raggiunta con successo e ogni località era un interessante attracco e luogo da visitare. Pasti a bordo eccellenti. Pulizia perfetta. Ottimi consigli per mangiare sulla terra ferma. Ho scelto volutamente la "cabina del marinaio" che ho trovato divertente ed accessoriata . Necessaria agilità fisica per usufruirne . Peccato troppo calda al pomeriggio per me che sono abituata a riposare . Avevo il mio piccolo ventilatore per la notte . Per la sua collocazione a prua, concede privacy. Impattante lo spazientirsi del comandante durante le manovre o le attività pratiche a bordo. All'inizio mi ha fatta sentire fuori posto ma dopo un chiarimento, ci siamo sistemati. Può essete dura per alcuni proprietari rapportarsi anche con indolenti ospiti in vacanza ma io cerco relax ed esperienze di viaggio. Comunque ripartirei subito su Lulu boat con Luciana e Renato, Silvia Michele Antonio e Paolo, compagni di vacanza TOP

We cross the Aegean from Athens to Mikonos and Kos: the most beautiful Cyclades - Hostess Chef on board

++wild bays visited ++food on the boat boat ++beautiful, ++maintained and ++comfortable +treated like private guests -not like paying customers -every act (wake up, breakfast, swimming, changing back to dry clothes, smoking..) was strictly timed. Without ANY obvious reason (plenty of time to sail to the next point) -6 sailing days booked. In total only 3 hours on sail, the rest on motor (no wind when we were out) & 2 days spent in harbors because the wind could be too strong. No effort made when noticed that we could have have (sportively) sailed. Frustrating to see sailing boats offshore while being on a beach/village -communication rather existent. When R. feels challenged by a question, he overreacts (Ex: by leaving the commands of the boat to us because we dared to ask if we could use sails instead of motor OR by calling us "new rich people" when we asked for the final count for the EUR 400 pp for the current expenses.) -age 48?!? -no instruction -feeling to be at the wrong place -------- SKIPPER ANSWER ------------- Dear Frederic, We are sorry that your first boat experience did not meet your expectations. On the boat there are rules to be respected regarding smoking (unthinkable to smoke while sailing and in the cabin!), order and cleanliness so that everyone is comfortable. The itinerary you have chosen (From Athens to Kos) is an adventurous choice for those who love to travel many miles. Unfortunately the wind cannot be booked and when it is too strong for safety reasons we stop. Sailing cannot be learned in a week and neither can education. Leave the cabin in the shameful condition in which you left it (literally throw away sheets) and then ask for the final report, which, as you were told, can be consulted at any time and available to everyone (with receipts and invoices) on the table from correspondence, two days after finishing the cruise, it is incomprehensible. It was not a pleasant experience for us.
