Season 2025
{September 12}
Captain Petros,
you and your crew provided us with an exceptional vacation that far exceeded our expectations. Your first words to us after we boarded were
to let us know we would travel this week as friends - not just passengers! This set the tone for the entire vacation.
Nasos, Stelios and Demi were warm , welcoming, very professional and attentive the entire trip. The famous Greek hospitality was shown to us every day.
Getting to know each of the crew members provided us insight into your families and your lives. That made this trip even more memorable.
Your recommendations at each port let us experience the best Greece has to offer. Your attention to every detail went above and beyond. You made sure we always had fun.
The food provided by Stelios and his hospitality to let us ask questions about his food and he even provided lessons and recipes!!
Nasos helped us with water sports, Greek dancing.
Demi made sure we were always provided with full glasses and anything we asked for - even before we asked!
We had hoped this would be a ''once in a lifetime'' experience but because of you the crew, it will be the ''first of a lifetime''!
We sincerely hope our paths will cross again whether in the rocky mountains or on the crystal waters of the Aegean.
No words can truly express our gratitude!

Petros and The Crew,
Thank you...Thank you...Thank you...for making our ''first of a lifetime'' yacht/ Greece trip,
a trip that we will never forget! Your hospitality made us feel like kings and queens. The food..I don't think there are words to describe the culinary experience that
we were given! We didn't know what to expect when our planned itinerary had to be changed at the last minute due to the weather, but you took it upon yourself to create a trip
that you designed with compassion, so that we had a ''no worry'' experience that was caught to us (sorry we didn't want to go horseback riding! haha!!). There is a saying..
''all good things must come to an end'' but this is only until we meet again!
P.S. This does not suck..Cheers!

Petros ( & the entire staff),
A truly exceptional yacht experience. We came into the week unsure of what to expect, but the experience far exceeded our wildest imaginations. The personal
touches, the attentiveness, and the incredible food were just a few of the elements that made our trip unforgettable. Every moment felt tailored and special.
Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication in making this once - in-a-lifetime experience so special. Your efforts & attention to detail made it an extraordinary journey
we will never forget.
Keep smiling 😊
