“Abbiamo prenotato il caicco Eros per la nostra famiglia ed è stata un'ottima esperienza. Ottimi pasti, fantastiche soste per nuotare e equipaggio molto amichevole.”

“On the gulet Harmonia from August 18 to 23rd. Mixed feelings... We didn't go to Kassiopi our first stop on the program. We arrived in the harbours very early to Book our Space... then we had to spend the afternoon on board or on the beach when the crew offered to use the dingy (once, thanks to Mohammed), or in the villages where we stopped. It wasn't always unpleasant but we would have prefered to do more swim-stops in little creeks with nobody.... Some swim-stops were in beautiful places but overcrowded with hundred of people who were here for an hour. They left and other boats arrived... we knew that there are many tourists in Greece but on a gulet with 14 people, it's a shame to be in these places AT the same Time... The ladder to get out of the water was broken and it was difficult for everybody! The heat in the cabins was really difficult to bear (we sometimes had A/C until midnight) and we sometimes had the fan but when we had nothing it was unbearable ! Some of us slept outside! But.... let's be positive the crew, Mohamed, Faris and the Chef were ABSOLUTELY nice, helpful and pleasant. The cooking was local and delicious. The landscapes and villages were beautiful. The colours of the sea were amazing and we spent great moments with our Friends. We've already done other cruises in Croatia, Montenegro and the west indies, I think you can change some things to make your cruises better.”

Dear Marielle, Thank you for choosing Sail in Greece for your Greece holidays. We are very happy to hear that overall you had a nice experience on board our gulets and we hope to cruise with us another time, either on our Zante, or Athens cruise. In regards to your comments raised please find our replies : 1) During high season, and especially during August, unfortunately, every single bay or port is fully packed with multiple boats. We do understand that as a guest you might want a more relaxed and quote atmosphere, so we suggest you better to join us other months, like May, June or September, October. 2) The side ladder on our gulet Harmonia was not broken, just it does not have a wider platform for our guests to enter the sea. In any case, we will inform our maintenance team to check if they can install one, so as for season 2024 to be even better. 3) All of our cabins have a/c and fan and all of our guests have the option to pay the extra service if they wish, so they can enjoy a/c the entire night. Also the nights that our gulets are not docked at ports, our fans do not operate as well. Thank you once more for choosing Sail in Greece for your cruise holidays! The Sail in Greece team.

“7 days on board Eros we were looked after by Cpt Kostas and his team. Thank you for a wonderful week on board.”

“Con un grupo de amigos hemos hecho el circuito de las islas jónicas desde corfú en el barco Harmonía el 18 de agosto del 23. La goleta era correcta aunque precisa actualizar los muebles de la cubierta y muy especialmente la escalera de acceso al agua que era peligrosa y difícil para subir.La tripulación fue muy amable y atenta. mención aparte el cocinero que nos dio una magnífica comida. La cantidad fue buena aunque el agua insuficiente .el capitán Lampros nos informó sobre los itinerarios diariamente, estuvo muy en contacto con nosotros pero aún no sabemos por qué se saltó la escala de Kassiopi .Las estancias en los puertos en relación a los tiempos de baño fueron excesivas especialmente el dia de vuelta a Corfú en comparación con las otras goletas de la misma compañía que no ibamos encontrando durante el viaje. La limpieza de los espacios comunes fue deficiente .Los camarotes estaban correctos. el aire acondicionado funcionó según la previsión excepto una noche cuando falló la electricidad. En general hemos disfrutado el viaje y los paisajes de las islas jonicas”

“We started off day 1 in Corfu port overnight due to late arrivals. So missed out on visiting one of the ports. The only time you have air conditioning in your cabin is when the generator is operating. This is generally during the day when sailing or when the chef is cooking. Sleeping in the cabins during the night is unbearable, almost to the point of impossible. There is hardly any air coming through and is quite claustrophobic. The majority of passengers slept upstairs on bench seats and sunbeds. We and another couple ended up taking our mattresses upstairs as there is not enough sunbeds to sleep on. During the night condensation came in and you find that you get extremely wet. We didn't sleep in our cabin at all and when we got back to corfu the last night, we jumped ship and paid for accommodation as did quite a few other couples. The Captain did try to offer the generator to be turned on so that we could have air conditioning at night at the cost of approx 11 euro per person per night of which the majority of passengers accepted. However one couple declined (therefore apparently the majority vote did not rule) so the remaining 22 passengers had to suffer at the expense of one selfish couple. The destinations and the food on board were both really good with magnificent swim stops. The crew were always friendly and attentive and quite aware of the predicament that one particular couple had caused. In fact the captain offered to pay that couple for on land accommodation one night so the rest of the passengers could get a decent nights sleep however they refused. The inability to be able to sleep (only getting 2-4 hours) had a flow on effect and people were exhausted by day 5 which unfortunately put a dampner on the trip. Initially there wasn't alot of information as to where we were going, for how long, meal times and swim stops but after contacting customer support on day 3, they clarified this over the phone so everyone could here and the communication board was updated daily. As mentioned the cruise itself was lovely, it was just a matter of no air conditioning hence no sleep for 7 nights.”

Dear Jan and Ron, Thank you for choosing Sail in Greece for your Greece holidays.

In regards to your comments raised please find our replies : All of our cabins have a/c and fan and all of our guests have the option to pay the extra service if they wish, so they can enjoy a/c the entire night. Also the nights that our gulets are not docked at ports, our fans do not operate as well. I completely understand the confusion that the other couple created, but unfortunately, as you know, it was out of our hands. We offered you solutions that were not accepted by everyone, and this prevented us from moving forward. Τhe support team was at your disposal throughout the duration of your cruise to express your every wish. Thank you for contacting us and sharing your concerns about your current experience at our gullet. Thank you once more for choosing Sail in Greece for your cruise holidays! The Sail in Greece team.

“The company sent us a CANCELLATION email ONE MONTH before our scheduled departure. And then later that day they told us it was still going ahead. The company is VERY unorganised and poorly managed. The company also refused to send our itinerary until a few days before we left - even though website says 2 weeks in advanced. Once we finally got on board they told us we are not going to the islands we were meant to go to, which was very disappointing. The crew onboard were 10/10 absolutely amazing! They went out of their way to make sure we all felt special. They food was great too! The rooms were extremely hot. Bathroom flooded everyday, so you would be using toilet with water up to your ankles. You only get power for 4 hours in the morning and 4 hours at night. I would not recommend this company to my family and friends and will NOT use them again.”

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 • Regarding the aforementioned cancellation, unfortunately, there was a problem with one of the remaining ships of our company, we finally found a solution and moved another cruise so you don't miss yours. • My partners and I work very hard months before your cruise so that everything goes well and you have a great experience without missing anything. I cannot accept, knowing how much we have tried, that we are disorganized. I am very sorry for the perception you have. • While we regret any inconveniences caused by the water issue, it's essential to note that, in some cases, minor deviations from the drain's direct flow might occur. • I would also like to emphasize that we cannot control the weather, according to bad weather conditions we cannot travel and put both the crew and you at risk. Greece this summer was very windy and unfortunately very hot. it is not in our hands. Kind regards, Customer support team, Sail in Greece

“We've just had a week on Herera starting in Zante. God it was hot but really only a problem at night thanks to (a) the size of the "Cosy" cabin, (b) the intermittent air con or lack of, a noisy fan (my wife woke the first night thinking a helicopter had landed on deck) Yes! there were a few issues but thankfully we had a dream team of fellow passengers. There were only 10 of us and I think we all agreed anymore would have been a nightmare. The boat does need a little TLC but generally it served us well. We ate well and the cruising and swim stops were terrific. Thanks to the worlds most enthusiastic Company Rep in Wendy (Fantastic Wendy) whose sightings of dolphins turned into Tuna which immediatley then grew wings and flew away, I'll never forget that. The Captain and crew were excellent and the scenery is to die for. Our shipmates were brilliant and actually made the trip so much more enjoyable. Would we go again? If the cabins and comforts of a peaceful nights sleep were guaranteed then yes, but only if our old shipmates could join us.”
