Absolutely loved our trip. Alexandros was so warm and welcoming. Was very accommodating with times and places to visit. Boat was clean and well maintained. Highly recommend. A few snacks and soft drinks would have made this a perfect trip as we did not bring enough soft drinks for the duration. Would definitely book again though.
Alexandros was an excellent skipper and host, he was very knowledgable of how we could spend our day and always had a smile on his face. The taverna at lunch was lovely and we even got to sail on our way back to port. We would definitely use his boat again.
My friends and I had a fantastic day on the boat! Even though the weather wasn’t great it was such a successful trip. Alexandros made us feel safe and secure. He is very accommodating and friendly. Will definitely recommend to others who visit.
We had a wonderful treat with Alexandros. Boat is very nice, we saw beautiful places and we had lunch in a very beautiful and delicious restaurant on Alexandros recommendation. Thank you for this wonderful experience 🩵
Best day of my life so far! My partner proposed to me on the boat and Alexandros helped by providing champagne glasses. He made everyone feel so relaxed and he was very friendly.
Alexandros was very clear and precise about our trip. Took us to some great spots for swimming and snorkelling.He booked a table for the 10 of us at a beautiful taverna restaurant in the hills with lovely view of the sea, highly recommended
Very friendly. Thanks Alex I hope we ll see you again
We were a group of 9 people and had a really good time. Very flexible and nice captain. Showed us beautiful places and reserved us a table in an amazing taverna. Would highly recommend. It seemed he genuinely enjoys his job and was a great guide.
Very professional skipper.

Alexandros was very friendly and professional. He was very funny. He listened to our wishes and specialized the route for us. We had an awesome day!
Alexandros was a lovely smiley captain, who looked after us. Would certainly recommend him.
Fun boat trip and excellent service!
We had an absolutely wonderful time! Alexandros was a great host and very communicative with us during the booking process since we were slightly off season. The boat was wonderful and it was so nice to see the shipwreck and swim in the crystal clear water on a private boat! Would highly recommend!!
Alexandros was the perfect captain! He is extremely flexible. We sailed to the Peloponnesus with winds of 31 kn and He was an expert sailor! He is friendly and fun but most importantly a very very competent sailor. We had such a good time that we all thought it was the best trip ever. We would definitely do it again and highly recommend it for anyone. It is a must do in Zante!

Great guy and great trip. Thank you Alexandros
Alexandros is a very very very nice and professional capitan!!!!!! We had a great great day together!!!! Thanks very much
Our day trip with Alexandros was amazing. He took us to the south and made us discover the wonders of the island. He was very attentive, with great advice for lunch, in a restaurant with a breathtaking view of Turtle Island. He took great care with us and helped me organize the perfect place for my wedding proposal at the last minute. Thanks Alexandros
THIS DAY TRIP WAS AMAZING! We had the best time, we did the south of the island and it was literally the highlight of our trip. The day was organised perfectly with a lot of free time for swim spots in crystal blue waters. We were fortunate enough to swim with turtles and get up close with them. Alex was brilliant, super friendly, efficient and quick responses prior to the day. The boat is super comfortable yet elegant, and is fully equipped with anything you need.
Had a fantastic day aboard Atlantic 49 with Alexandros. We spent the day sailing between Alykanas and Kefalonia, his knowledge and lovely personality made the day even more enjoyable. It was our first sailing voyage and thanks to Alexandros, we will definitely be doing it again. Thank you Alexandros and hope to meet again soon.
Very nice experience. Alexandros took us to the south tour and it was very nice. We stopped for swimming, also had the chance to see a turtule swimming. Alexandros is a great skipper, friendly and he can provide great tips about beaches to go in Zakynthos.
Alexandros is a great sailor that took us to the southern part of the island to see beautiful bays and sea turtles! We would definitely repeat the experience! Thank you
Had a great day on the boat,Alex was really helpful. Booked the boat for my wife's birthday and he sorted all the transfers, and a birthday cake. We did the North tour had a great day. Would highly recommend Alex and his boat, so relaxed and really enjoyable.
