We had the pleasure of going on a week-long cruise, and it was a great experience. The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly
the crew and the people who joined us on the cruise.

I have to commend the cabin crew for their exceptional service. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and well-being throughout the cruise. From keeping our cabins clean to fulfilling any special requests, their attention to detail was remarkable.

The food was prepared by our talented chef and every meal was a delight.

This cruise did have one downside. Our itinerary got flipped and we didn’t visit any of the islands we were supposed to. We were supposed to do the Mykonos cruise but ended up doing the Harmony one instead. As a group of young millennials looking to party, it was a bit disappointing as most of the ports we went to weren’t the ones that were busy. We were told that it was the weather that caused this change, but communication from the Sail Greece corporate office was laughable at best. The company was unable to provide us with an accurate itinerary. We ended up going to locations based on what the captain was able to secure. This meant that some of the islands we went more secluded than promised.

That being said, the cabin crew was awesome and I cannot say enough positive things about them. They made the lack of communication from the corporate company tolerable, barely. Our group was convinced that the person we were communicating with were working in the United Kingdom.

Sail Greece corporate needs step it up and deliver on your promises. Provide the crew with the resources it needs to deliver the experience you promise

Bottomline, this was a great cruise only because of the crew. Sail Greece, eat glass,

On Hemera in the Saronic Gulf, last week of August with relaxing sun, sea and wonderful company. The mix of sea and culture advertised confirmed our expectations. Alexandros Guide a true Pro attentive to everyone's needs and with great competence. Very efficient and discreet crew. Tyson the ship's cook has prepared with care and variety delicious and abundant foods, seasoned with an overwhelming sympathy. Commander Kostantinos has always guaranteed safe navigation and optimized travel avoiding rough seas and to allow stops in the bay for dips and long swims. And if we add to all this the fortunate concentration of 10 travelers who felt free in an atmosphere of carefree and cheerful sharing, well vote 10 and we leave tomorrow! Peter

I'm writing this review with a tear rolling down my face.
I am speechless. Literally.

We came as two couples without knowing what to expect and what we found overturned all our expectations.

The gulet is a particular size, which is not necessarily suitable for everyone: you sail, you stop in the middle of the sea and you eat on the boat, you can imagine that many people can feel a little disoriented, especially for those like us they were trying it for the first time.
And again: there are people of all ages, from children to the elderly with obviously different needs and expectations.

It is on this point that I want to emphasize: the difficulty of managing such a heterogeneous group and pleasing everyone is very, very difficult.
But we were extremely lucky: Captain George and the whole crew were something unexpected: a kindness, friendliness, affability and helpfulness that I would never have imagined: he solved technical problems, some discontent of some guests always and I repeat ALWAYS with the smile. He managed the cruise impeccably, he was masterful in adapting the cruise to people's needs, never saying no and trying to balance the needs with the wishes of each individual person.
It was a wonderful holiday and most of the credit goes to the captain (and all the crew).

My wife and I feel very lucky, I don't think it would have been the same with another crew.

You have transformed a holiday into a dream, the dream into a memory and the memory into a story that will remain written in our hearts forever.
Thanks George, the chef Artef who cooked as he would cook for his family, Mohammed always ready to accompany us everywhere and Mido.

Right from the start we were rebooked onto another, smaller ship, probably because there were only 12 of us. This was sold to us as an "upgrade". Then the departure port changed twice. At least we got a shuttle bus from the airport. The boat was stationary in the harbor for the first two days because the wind was apparently too strong, which our weather app did not confirm. The route was to be discussed together every day. However, our specific wishes were not taken into account. In the end we were on the road much less than we had booked. The friendliness and service of the 3 Egyptian crew members deserves special mention. The chef spoiled us with his culinary offerings, the engineer steered the boat safely and responded to our requests in a friendly manner, and the service staff were courteous and friendly. The captain was almost nowhere to be seen. He was only seen working at anchor. Overall it was a trip with obstacles.

Dear passenger, Thank you for contacting us and sharing your concerns about your current experience at our gullet boat. We would like to sincerely apologize for your experience with us. With all due respect to our guests and their experience, we would like to respond to the comments • the change to another ship was made to be more comfortable on a bigger ship and to enjoy it. • unfortunately due to the strong winds we had to change boarding locations for your safety. our boat, as you know, is wooden and vulnerable to strong winds. there was a danger of hitting the promontory. what we decided was with your safety in mind, that's why we didn't start the first few days...however, we offered you an excursion paid for by us. although the weather conditions are not under our control and there is also a condition in your contract. • I am speechless to hear something like this about our captain, we have never received such a comment before, these days he was suffering from a virus, and maybe that's why he needed some rest. I'm very sorry about that. • I'm very happy despite everything that you had nice moments with us, the weather didn't help you to have the best experiences with us, But we will wait for you on one of our next trips to let us change your mind. Our team, Sail in Greece

With a couple of friends we booked a week with departure from Corfu on the HERA gulet. I would like to point out that we have already had several experiences of this type. There were 17 of us on board and fortunately we found a group of wonderful travelers (the best thing about the holiday). The gulet was dirty and with very little shade area it is insufficient for 17 people. The captain always stopped several hundred meters from the beaches with the consequence that we had to take very long swims and in open spaces where other types of boats also passed with the risk of being mowed down. Some mornings we inexplicably left at 10.30am and returned to port at 4.30pm with just one bathroom stop. Basically, instead of spending a good part of the time in the water we spent it in port or on board without the possibility of agreeing anything different with the crew. We were asked €200 for the kayak and €300 for the SUP for launching. The Sail in Greece representative in the area did nothing to improve the situation despite various reminders. The places visited were very beautiful and would have deserved longer stops. Truly a shame. The chef is commendable, the only one who pampered us every day. Have an experience on a Gulet because you will be delighted but with other tour operators.

Week of cruise on the gulet Aphrodite among the Ionian islands. A wonderful way to experience the sea and the wonders it offers: tiny beaches, sunrises and sunsets from the deck, beautiful sea, fish, small fishing villages and miles and miles on the tender.
Very comfortable gulet (we are still on a traditional boat), Captain George is friendly, helpful and always ready to meet our needs while always respecting safety. Discreet, kind and prepared crew, excellent chef.
The only flaw: the cost of the excursions proposed by the agency, a little expensive compared to local agencies that offer the same product.
Trip to do again: wherever George goes, we will follow him!

Our gorgeous Small ship was called Harmonia which set sail from Corfu to the most beautiful Ionian islands. Paxos was my favourite village & port. You are hugging the Coast line so you don’t need to worry about sea sickness.
Just fabulous swimming and sunbathing.
Every day was amazing to wake up to.
The Captain was highly experienced and the crew where truly Supermen who looked after us all incredibly,
I can highly recommend, it is a trip to remember forever.

I'm talking about the schooner Hera. . The captain, apart from being rude, was most responsible for the trip being disappointing, apart from the inconvenience of the ship in every way. Lack of hammocks, if you wanted shade you had to sit on a folding chair. Lack of general information, etc. The crew was very very helpful, they did everything possible even though the captain was non-existent, he spent the day smoking and on his cell phone. The Egyptians could not do more than what they did. We were unlucky with the stifling weather, it's no one's fault, of course. Terrible sleeping in the cabin and on the deck they slept outside but there was no room for everyone. The crew, including the captain, slept in the bow in common places, on benches. And everyone smoking all day. At least the crew members hid it, I caught the captain's attention because he had his cigarette almost on my plate at his dinner. He also said that he was a merchant mariner and he didn't like the schooner thing. Luckily my friend and I found the funny side to the trip. I must say again that the crew was great with my friend who has mobility issues. In short, good experience, not recommended.

We have just returned from a wonderful week cruising from Zante. Captain George made us welcome from the minute we arrived. We were fortunate to sail with a small group of 6 ladies who all booked a cabin to themselves so there were 8 of us on the boat. This meant breakfast and lunch were served on the outdoor deck rather than inside and we didn't have to queue for a buffet. The food was AMAZING! Ibrahim is a wonderful chef and the lunches were the best meals we had even compared to top notch restaurants. Unfortunately we had to stay in Zante for 2 nights because of the winds but George was very positive and we had a great time. Special thanks to Mohammed the engineer too. He got the tender out whenever we wanted with a smile. The only downside (which is nothing to do with the crew) is the gullet Aphrodite needs some updating. We sailed towards the end of the season when the floor runners and bathroom mats felt worn and dirty and felt the cabins could have been cleaner. Also it would be a good idea to have mattress protectors. The cabins can get very warm and sweaty. Towels and sheets are changed twice a week but maybe three times would be better. As long as you are aware and happy with this you'll have a great holiday sailing the Greek islands. More routes/10-14 nights please for the future as we've already been on the Corfu cruise last year.

Best week on the boat with the best crew!!! Labros, Mohummad, Farris and Rhian were the best. They were fun to be around and looked after us all week including restaurant recommendations and bookings, bringing us to secluded beaches on the dingy and providing delicious meals every day. It has been an excellent week and we are sad it is coming to a close!! Would highly recommend.
