Magda was the best! We arrived early and our boat wasn’t quite ready so she gave us a tour of the surrounding city and it was wonderful!! She’s so kind and easy to talk to. I’d recommend her every time!!

Writing this review on the sunbed day after the trip reflecting. Magda arranged prompt on time pick up from our hotel really nice transport called to to check we were in the transport. Got greeted at the port with a hug and welcome infectious smile. The sailing boat was pristine clean and luxurious. Captain nickos and first mate helen were so professional welcoming and catered for our every need advised of safety and couldnt do enough for us. Felt so safe in their hands. Drinks were served and sailing away to dia island, anchored up enjoyed a swim in the Crystal clear water snorkels and floats provided. Then the most amazing banquet was served crispy chicken spaghetti pesto/tatziki salad breads followed by a beautiful anniversary cake in the most beautiful setting and senary you could imagine. The captain popped a bottle of prossecco for us. Fed some fish followed by watching the sunset on the sea. The hospitailty was spot on and the best boat trip we have ever been on they made us feel like celebrities. 100% will always do these sort if trips again. Not 1 thing i could even try to fault. Most magical day and memory on holiday we could have had. Thank you so much
Thank-you Means the world to all of us ! Hope we have you again back to our island in the near future.
Where to even begin! This was a beautiful, seamless, and breathtaking experience. From the communication in advance to be sure the food was enjoyable and transportation was easy, to the customer service, and more, this was a noteworthy time. We’ve taken boat rides and had similar experiences, which were all fabulous, but the way this team makes you feel in real time is as if you are the only people in the world who matter. Our car service was sharp and on time from our hotel to the marina. The staff met us at the car when we pulled up, instantly gave us hugs, welcomed us with local coffee, and brought us out to the boat. We met the captain and co-captain who thoroughly explained the sailing experience, recommended where to sit on the boat, and shared bits of history and stories along the way. When we arrived to what felt like a secret location, we had the choice of two areas - more boats or less. As we got ready to swim, dive off the boat, and more, the team made lunch. Lunch was AMAZING. When it was time to eat, the shared stories about local ingredients, we got to grind the oregano, learned about culture, and more. We ate until we simply couldn’t go any further. The wine was poured all ride. The care of the team was lovely. The food was so good and filling. The staff knew everyone around and were very well respected. The experience we absolutely beautiful. Thank you to the team!!!
Thank you so much ❤️
We went as a group of 8 and had a fantastic time. The crew was very nice and welcoming, they served amazing fresh food and took us to the beautiful Dia Island. There is a speaker on board for you to play your own music and plenty of time to get into the sea there. There was not a ton of space for sunbathing on the deck, however with all the activities they provide we didn't miss it. The boat journey itself was very unique and masterful sailing - definitely an experience to book!!
What an expectational experience from magda, Manos and Stavros. Myself and family couldn’t thank you all enough for the most amazing day. From the stunning views to the most delicious food and even better company. Thank you for keeping our very young children both engaged and entertained. We loved every moment. Magda made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable I felt at complete ease. She arranged pick up drop offs which made everything run smoothly. Thank you so much. We will definitely see you guys soon.
The whole experience was amazing from start to finish!! The views were perfect and the captains very professional, friendly and was perfect with my 2 year old daughter. And the one of the best bits was seeing the dolphins jumping right next to the boat. All in all a perfect day, highly reccomend.
Thank you so much ❤️
A truly remarkable experience! We are a family of 5 with kids aged 8, 12 and 13 and had an amazing time. The attention and service from Magda and the ship crew was truly extraordinary. They had gifts for my kids, scuba equipment, and the crew cooked a seafood risotto on the boat. It really doesn’t get better than this!
Thank you so much ! It means the world to all of us . Hope we will see you again and your lovely family in the near future.
