This was a great experience for my special day. I have made a proposal to my future wife on the boat. The crew was open to adjust the dinner timing for us. We have unforgettable moments on the boat. In addition to all, the crew has also set up another boat to cheer for us after my proposal, what a great surprise!! My only recommendation is adding another bay / stop to the cruise and make it more diverse.
Lovely afternoon sail with the best skippers Joey and Mariana. Though the weather was not completely in our favour, it sure was an adventure and we felt more than safe with them. Communication went well however the meeting point was indeed slightly confusing but found it within a minute. The description of the boat however was slightly deceiving as there was no usable shower on the boat and no bath towels. Also not all cabins were in use. Other than that it is a must see experience!
Great afternoon out if you have a decent size group. 100% worth the money. The food was sensational and beautiful sunset on the way home. Felt safe at all times, the crew kept us well informed at all times. Highly recommend
The check in process was very chaotic and instructions for meeting were very unclear. We had to wait 40+ minutes before we were actually taken to our boat because other groups of people were late who booked with the same company and had similar meeting times. The actual boat trip and captain and Bosun were great and exceeded all expectations - we had a fantastic time with Yannis and Yannis on our sunset cruise. The food was amazing (best we had all week) and the views and stories they told were great. We’d book again but would definitely recommend cleared check in / meeting instructions and times.
My family and I had a great time on the boat. I could not recommend this trip enough!
It was a great team. Many thanks to the skipper, Harris and Anne Marie the yours instructor. You made it really memorable for us. Thanks!
Crew was very friendly and professional
Very nice cruise with experienced crew. They made sure we had a great time. Would highly recommend this cruise. Maybe some back cushions could be considered for more comfort.
Lefteris and the skipper were super nice and accommodating. The food was great and cooked freshly on the boat. They even had a snorkel and a stand up paddle board we could use.
Great experience! The most authentic greek experience we‘ve ever had. The dinner was great. The view on the way back was awesome. Great opportunity for a special occasion. Communication was also on point. Beautiful trip to dia island with an unforgettable ending.
Pleasure to deal with Easy to communicate with Great crew Unforgettable experience
My family (group of 6 plus 2 children) had a wonderful time. This is highly recommended. Thanks again to the captain and the crew!
A beautiful boat and a fantastic crew, really enjoyed a wonderful food with amazing food, recommended highly!!
This day was very important for us, a marriage proposal was being prepared... and thanks to the team (John, Katarina and Maria) everything was exceptional! They took great care, the meal was very good; there was all the equipment to enjoy at sea. The sunset was breathtaking. I can only highly recommend!!!
Had a great trip with Jozef and crew. Everything was well arranged. Lots on board to enjoy the water. Jozef is a good storyteller and also speaks Dutch. Of course his English and Greek are also excellent, but it was an advantage for us that he also spoke Dutch. The food was top notch and freshly prepared on the boat. Plenty to drink. We will definitely do this again and hope to see Jozef again. A big 10
The experience was very nice and fun. The patrons made sure that we were comfortable at all times and their professionalism was noticeable.
The yacht is completely comfortable, we were 8 people - it was comfortable. We were deliciously fed, taken to the island and on the way back - just met the sunset. In general, there is nothing to say here. I recommend. Everything was good!?
