About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- natalie1011680 contributionsSailing in the Greek Islands!This was not only the best thing we did on our Naxos holiday but one of the best tours ever! Costa and Jyriakis looked after us so well, plenty of cold drinks and delicious food. They took us to the best places to swim and answered all our questions about Greece, Naxos and the islands. The yacht was very comfortable, highly recommend!Written September 17, 2024
- WendyST550 contributionsThey don’t sail….The websites that say this company and your day is about sailing are not true. You pay for a beautiful sailboat( which I was interested in knowing more about) but I suspect that main sail hasn’t been unfolded for months. It’s too much work for a one man crew doing everything. The trip does not go where they advertised. Due to “ conditions “ we went out to Iraklia and stopped at the underwater airplane wreck. Stayed there for 2 hours when maybe 1 hour is more than enough. Very few fish or anything to see underwater. Continued on to the port of Iraklia and stopped for a swim and then headed back to Naxos stopping for one more swim, basically just to kill time. The food was fine and Alex is very nice guy who worked very hard all day to make the day pleasant. Should have been 2 crew on that boat. That said, if you are expecting anything more than a sailboat motoring out all day to some pretty, but uninspiring spots, go on another boat, especially for 300 Euros (2 people). Many other boats out that day had full sails up without issue. I suggest this company should be realistic about where they can actually sail on a particular day rather than filling the time motoring around. Downgraded review as I have become more upset about this experience. Should get at least a partial refund. Avoid this company is my opinion.Written September 14, 2024
- smd20090 contributionsGreat full day outWe thoroughly enjoyed our sailing tour with xanemo sailing. Kostos and Alex looked after us really well and took us to some gorgeous spots to snorkel and swim. The wind and waves were a bit wild but they reassured us that was normal and sure enough the boat didn’t capsize!!! 🤣 A lovely day out with lovely lunch and drinks. There was 10 of us on the tour and plenty room for everyoneWritten September 10, 2024
- V5623NThannahb0 contributionsLovely relaxed day at sea.Lovely small group tour. The bays we anchored in were beautiful. Little marine life around the island though. The wind was strong meaning my sea sickness did get the better of me a little bit but that didn’t detract from the day. The captain was fabulous and in control of the boat the whole day. The food was good and they catered for a vegetarian option. We left at half 8 and got back after 6 ready to catch the sunset at the Temple of Apollo.Written August 9, 2024
- Lachlan J0 contributions10/10 would do againWe absolutely loved our trip, the guides were amazing and friendly and there was only one other couple on the boat so it felt like a private cruise.Written July 29, 2024
- D2318JMjonw0 contributionsNon-sailing day out on a sail boat trip down to the lesser CycladesAn enjoyable day out on a sailing boat, albeit the sails were never used as there was insufficient crew to safely man the sails. A great way to see Naxos and the lesser Cyclades from the water. Lovely spots for a swim and chill out. The return journey gets a little rough due to the prevailing winds and tide but all in an all a fun day out. Disappointing morning tea of dry bread with slices of processed turkey and cheese. Plenty of water and other refreshments.Written July 12, 2024
- Culture355359471580 contributionsA perfect day in Naxos!An excellent day on the sailboat. Everything was perfect. If you want to spend a beautiful day, trust the crew. A huge thank you for everything. Don't change a thing!Written June 7, 2024
- mattdY6755VQ0 contributions6 out of 5 Stars!The trip will be the highlight of our trip to Naxos. Alex and Acosto went out of their way to extend every hospitality-we made three stops to snorkel and swim (which included a cave and the remnants of a 1943 plane that crashed), we were well fed and almost all of the food was Naxian, they were constantly offering beverages (whether water, soda, wine or beer was your preference), and they shared knowledge of Greece and Naxos while also expressing genuine interest in getting to know their passengers. It was an amazing day for our three teenage daughters, my husband and I-highly recommend!Written June 4, 2024
- Bigalcornwell0 contributionsAwesome day outAlex and Tom, the captain and co captain were excellent. Very knowledgeable about Naxos and surrounding islands. My wife and I had a great dayWritten August 20, 2023
- Diane K0 contributionsThe best day!I’ve read the reviews and I have to say, for me, it was the best experience. I booked a similar excursion in Italy and was very disappointed. Although Alex is young, I felt very safe. He has obviously been sailing all his life and is extremely competent and careful. We were shown how to use a life jacket and how to leave the boat in an emergency, what else do you want, and some people were asked to sit out the front, on cushions, while we departed the wharf. Alex explained the need to be able to access ropes. Two of us remained on seats as we were older. Everyone else seemed to enjoy the experience and came back to the seats when they wanted to. Some stayed out for much of the day. Lunch was great and we were offered as much to drink as we wanted. There were no restrictions and no excesses. I had the best day! Everyone on board seemed as thrilled as I was. Alex explained what we were seeing, where we visited and history. Lots of swimming and snorkeling. Get a grip folks. I can’t believe you can grumble so much about what for all of us on my day, was a great experience. You’re on holiday!!Written August 3, 2023
- 945henningw0 contributionsNice and relaxed day on a boatBooked this trip with my son. We were 10 people in total, spending a great day at 4 different locations around Paros. Swimming and snorkeling were fun, even though the spots where we stopped seemed a bit random to me. Panos is not the most talkative guy in the world, so didn't learn much about the surroundings. But he and Anastasia took care that we all felt well. Food and drinks were fine, particularly the lunch was delicious. Overall, it was a nice and relaxed experience, I'd certainly book it again.Written July 31, 2023
- cosmins20170 contributionsNaxos Day Sailing tripGreat day sailing trip to some really fantastic spots. The crew were super friendly and made us all feel welcome and comfortable. Pros: fantastic views, great swimming, decent food on board too. Cons: could have made it more entertaining by simply playing some music at a higher volume level than 2. There are 2 variations of this kind of trip: this sailing boat and a catamaran. It seemed the catamaran was more happening. People were in the same spots as us, just their boats were more "party" oriented. Nothing crazy, just simply having a better time because they had music playing! Music makes for a better atmosphere, always. And when you're spending this kind of money ($400+ CAD for two), you expect to be entertained, all around. We did the same style trip in Santorini on a catamaran and it was definitely better.Written July 9, 2023
- christE3010PJ0 contributionsNot as advertisedVery unhappy with our trip. Not at all as advertised. This was a nice boat ride, but it was NOT a tour. The crew was two people - a captain (a kid in his 20s) and a helper (another kid in her 20s). The helper napped during the trip. The captain vaped the entire time. Neither of them spoke a word about Greece or what we were seeing. The “breakfast” was a piece of Wonder bread with one slice of cheese and one slice of ham. The “lunch feast” was one pork kebab and pita. No HD pictures. None of the food mentioned in the listing, or activities. Really disappointed. We wanted a tour were we would learn about what we were seeing, but the “captain” ignored us the entire time.Written July 5, 2023
- mlkuttner0 contributionsA fantastic day with Xanemo!First of all, I am amazed at the negative description of Alex (if it's the same person) as a captain because we were so impressed and pleased by the experience he and Katerina provided for us. It was clear that our comfort and safety was the top priority. It's best to be flexible because, with Naxos' constantly changing winds, we were not able to visit the small Cyclades. Disappointment became satisfaction as Alex explained that going south would be hours of rough seas and instead sailed us to some beautiful coves off of Paros for the day. We were provided with several excellent swimming and snorkeling experiences, the boat was clean and comfortable, the snacks and lunch were fresh and tasty. Plentiful amounts of water, beer and wine were available and Alex and Katerina took lots of photos to share.Written June 29, 2023
- cathytra0 contributionsSmall but with all the amenities of a great dayThis is the best way to see the islands and spectacular beaches near or on Naxos. The sailboat is designed for just a dozen or so people, and the service provided is terrific. I can't believe how great (and healthy!) the lunch and snacks were. The captain is assisted by a wonderful woman who seems to anticipate your needs. Very knowledgeable crew and very comfortable and intimate boating dayWritten June 6, 2023
