    We spent a wonderful time on board. The captain (Nikolas) was very polite, nice and helpful. He took us to incredible beaches in Paros, Rhine’s, Delos and Mykonos. He is also a very good chef, we recommend you try his barbecue. Will definitely come back next year!!

    Had a fun day on the boat - facilities were fine, crew were kind, stops were nice to swim at. Crew could’ve provided more hospitality by offering drinks, food, suggested locations etc. Anything we wanted, we needed to ask for.

    Unfortunately the service on this boat did not meet our expectations. The boat itself was clean and tidy, and rather large for our party of six. The deck hand however was very inexperienced. The ad says drinks snacks included. We were served warm beer and the wine was left in the heat once it had been opened. We didn’t see any snacks. The barbecue lunch we paid extra for was severely overpriced for what it was. And it’s a shame to leave these comments as The captain was so lovely, but we did leave disappointed when we compare it to our previous experiences.

    We had a super time. Very well looked after and the captain and co were super co-operative throughout. Also made us lunch which was very good and surprised my partner with a birthday cake. a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Would definitely recommend. The boat does become quite pricey however with add ons if you wanted extra’s, ie. Paddle board, speed bob, Shisha ect.

    I have to be honest in my review of our day on the boat. The hosts were very lovely and communicative and the captain really did his best to cater to our wishes. Beyond that, the state of the vessel is very bad. We had previously booked a meal but after seeing the sanitary standards of the kitchen, we declined to have a meal prepared but of course still paid for the groceries. Furthermore, the general condition of the boat was horrific, from the status of the paint to the interior, which not only needs a thorough cleaning but almost certainly a re-fit. Lastly it has to be said, that the atmosphere was less the one of a yacht charter but more of being guests on a house boat, as the captain and one crew were staying on the boat and left many personal items to be seen. Given the price of the charter and additional fuel cost we can only recommend to avoid this vessel and to choose a more professional service.

    Would NOT book with them again. Due to the weather (lots of wind), we were not able to go anywhere. We traveled from where the boat was moored (Ornos dock) to Paradise Beach. If you look this up on a map, you'll see it's about a 15min (max) cruise to get there. Once there, we stayed moored the entire time. After a while, this became quite boring so we actually ended our trip early. As mentioned, the weather wasn't great - overcast and windy so the time moored wasn't too enjoyable either. This is extra frustrating as we had communicated with the team the day before AND the morning of that we thought we'd like to reschedule or cancel (this was all within T&Cs) because of the weather. We didn't want to just sit on a moored boat for 8 hours, which is what we wound up doing. The team assured us that there was "no wind" on the south side of the island (not true) and we'd have a great experience. While we enjoyed each other's company, as we are a group of best friends, we could've done this on land at our villa and saved the money. Lastly, and arguably the worst, was that for traveling a total of 12km (round-trip) AND ending our reservation 2.5 hours early, we were still charged €500 in fuel?!?!?! (which we managed to negotiate down to €450, of course which is still absurd) The crew was polite & friendly, however, based on this experience our group of 11 would not recommend booking here.

    Was good for the money. The helper was a bit lazy. I have had better service in the past. However. The captain/skipper was 10/10 that guy cooked like a king and crushed like a real sailor. Hats down on the captain. :)

    We ended up doing a full day charter. First off, carpet was filthy. This is an old Boat, and it shows. We had to pay an additional 300 for gas to get to Delos island, and we went very slow so they could save in gas. We rented a jet ski. We were not told that we needed a captains license to drive it alone, so the captain had to ride with us, major bummer. Plus, he would only let us use it at one location. Since it was to difficult for him to take it off and put back on. So we rented the jet ski for the day, but could only use it once. We would not have rented it if we knew this in advance. We also rented a sea bob. The sea bob was awesome. But once that battery ran out, it was over. Captain did not have extra battery, and would not re charge. We were not informed that we would only have use of one charge worth of usage, and for 300 it would have been nice to know. In our private charter, captain Had his friends pull up in a boat, and tied up with us for about an hour. I felt that this took away from other stops we could have made. I did not make a big deal over this, as we were in the middle of the sea. The first mate was the captain’s girlfriend. When we were getting on the boat, she did not offer to help with bags etc. she was nice, but not very accommodating. The captain did make a wonderful lunch, however the wine was terrible… could not drink it. The captain did use his dive gear to retrieve a mask we dropped. There were no noodles to float in the water, just a couple of life rings. For the 8 hours, we only went to three stops all at Delos island. I was hoping for more stops. The captain was nice enough to pick us up and drop us off at our hotel, which was very nice of him. Captain was a very nice guy. Just expected a little more from a private charter.

    We had a great time on the boat, the crew was great and went out of their way to make our experience special. The boat was nice and clean, comfortably fit our group of 10z They made a delicious filling meal. We also book a jetski/ other extras and had so much fun with all of those things. Would recommend this experience.

    If there were 7 stars for the rating, I would still have given them 8. Nicholas and Mima redefined hospitality and took the feeling of bliss to another level. We had a wonderful 24 hours at the boat and will carry back with us memories of a lifetime. Definitely coming back!!

    Our best day in Mykonos, amazing boat and lovely staff which provided us with great services. Even though it was a very windy day they took us to a private beach which had very little wind. Would recommend this experience to anyone coming to Mykonos.

    Fantastic few days aboard the boat, the captain and hostess were superb, making us feel super welcome and adapting the itinerary to our needs. Boat is superb with multiple places to relax and plenty of space for us as a couple. Only challenge is fuel is very expensive - so make sure to understand that before making an itinerary. Definitely recommend.

    We had a super fun family day on the boat and added an hour of jet ski which was awesome and totally worth it. Our hosts were lovely and very accommodating and relaxed. We added the BBQ for 45 per head - it was very tasty but for one salad and some meats felt expensive. Overall we would definitely recommend this boat for a great day out to visit some other islands.

    Absolutely fabulous day out on this lovely boat. Nikolas and Dimitra were so accommodating - they really couldn’t have done anything else to ensure that we made the most of our day. Superb food at lunchtime and copious wine, beer and soft drinks. Thanks for wonderful memories
