The owner Pantelis and I exchanged numerous messages before our 4 day cruise. A true caring gentleman he is..!!! Timely response to my many questions. Always kind, patient and helpful. We were really looking forward to sail with Pantelis. However he was already committed to another cruise with his larger ship. I admit I was disappointed when he told me BUT our family totally rejoices spending 4 days with our Captain Timos and sailor Dimos. Sharing small space on a sailboat with strangers could have been awkward. But we made 2 new friends. Timos is a wonderful person We all connected and quickly had the feeling we all knew each others for a long time. We could also feel how much Dimos cared although his English is limited. Timos is a very respectful person. Warm and friendly but he is also very discret and left us to be as a family when he felt we wanted to. At all times we felt great being with both of them. It made us appreciate the cruise even more. We were fortunate to be able to use the sails on 3 of the 4 days. We stopped twice a day to swim in the ocean in secluded bays and slept anchored in some of these beautiful quiet coves. The water is so clear. We prepared some of our meals on the boat and had meals in excellent Tavernas with sea views. Paros, Antiparos, Iraklia, Schinoussa, Koufonisia are islands we sailed by and to. As happy as we were at the end of the cruise as sad we were to say goodbye to Timos and Dimos. Our family thanks Timos, Dimos and Pantelis for enabling us to enjoy this wonderful cruise. One of our best vacation memories ever..!!!
We had a perfect trip thanks to Timor’s outstanding expertise. He navigated rough seas with incredible skill, making the journey smoother than I’ve ever experienced. From the start, he took the time to understand exactly what we wanted out of the day, and tailored the experience beautifully. Not only was he a gracious and attentive host, but also an excellent cook! With Dimos assisting along the way, everything ran seamlessly. The trip was enjoyable, safe, and absolutely worth every penny.
Giannis and Dimas were super hosts and they made us have a perfect day. We enjoyed the trip arround Antiparos and the blue lagoon. The lunch was also very tasty! Thanks for the day!
We had a really nice time on this beautiful sailboat. Giannis and Jimmy were very friendly, laid-back, and easygoing, and were very flexible with our itinerary, especially when the weather prevented us from going to our original destinations. We would definitely work with them again! :)
The skipper has been very available for all our requests, making clear since the beginning all the timings needed to reach the amazing spots where we stopped. We felt like home on the boat having at our disposal everything needed such as a fridge full of drinks, music, food etc. for sure something to repeat!
Great charter- really lovely skipper and help (Ioannis and Jimmy!). They organised a cake for our friend’s birthday which was INCREDIBLE. However did not have enough time or offer to use paddle board, diving equipment etc. The tour suggested was not the one we went on (we were told we could make 5 stops, and only did 1). There was also a lot of delay when setting off. Snacks were also asked for (even though it was requested in advance for). Fruits were also not fresh. Other than that, great trip.
Pantelis just send another "captain" called Cris and another "hostess", a 70 years old sir that was there for nothing, only for smoking inside the cabin. In the first, it wasn't safe to do the sailing today. The ocean and wind was almost impossible to sail. So, instead of cancel or reschedule the sailing, they just put us on a tiny boat and send us to hell. It's irresponsible, almost criminal. Second: The "captain" wanted to leave us in a desert beach with our bags (miles from our hotel). After complaining, he sailed us to the port. Well, he tryed, because HE EVEN KNOW WHERE THE MILOS PORT WAS!!!! We had to guide him through Google Maps. What's the point having a skipper if HE DOESN'T KNOW WHERE THE PORT IS?!?!? Third: Our sailing was supposed to finish at 6-7pm. We arrived 10pm at the port, and they needed 1 more hour to "park" the boat. They don't know the port, I don't know even if they are licensed to did that. So, a pleasure sailing was a terrifying nightmare. We almost lost our hotel checkin, we are pissed off and we are affraid of second day sailing. They didn't come for the second day, but even they showed up, we decided not going because it is unsafe to sail with. We want our money back, at least the second day sail. We are really close to go to the port authority to make a claim. It's unbeliavable what we saw today.
Pantelis and Chris were a fantastic crew and made for the best day. They were accommodating and the service was impeccable. Our day from Paros could not have been better. Will definitely be back!
Wow! What a great day! The captain and his crew took very good care of us. He knew all the spots to take us to. He had a paddle board we were able to use and a little small boat that he took us on to access a cave. They cooked a us a very nice lunch. The day was magical! I highly recommend using them!!
We had a fantastic day, they were excellent captains and we felt spoiled the whole day. Incredible views, swimming and day.
Our 4-day stay on board this boat went very well. Timos and Dimos are two very welcoming, caring, and professional skippers. They made sure we felt comfortable even when the sea was rough. The itinerary was very good (sometimes a bit long, but if the sea had been calm it would have been better) and they took us to sublime places, coves that are not accessible by car, and privileged places where we were alone swimming. We were also able to enjoy a few moments on land when we needed. The boat was very clean and functional with everything we needed, even a shower. We had masks available to explore the seabed. We recommend this boat, especially Timos and Dimos, who made this experience great!
Excellent experience!
