Manolis en zijn team staan voor je klaar. Het was een aangename kennismaking en een superleuke ervaring op de boot. Je krijgt eerst een duidelijke uitleg en daarna ben je vrij om te gaan varen. We raden huren bij Sams boat aan bij iedereen. En zeker een boot bij Manolis.

We had a fantastic day, the safety briefing and information provided before we took the boat out was first class. Nikos was friendly, informative and professional at all times. The boat was great fun and the whole family had a wonderful day.

We had a really great time with Giannis on the sailboat Christina. Giannis (John) is a true gentleman and accom4plished sailor, he took very good care of us during our 3 day trip and showed us some amazing places, we also had the pleasure of his cooking as we opted for half board. We had plenty of sailing but also time to stop for a snorkel and to enjoy a delicious meal. He is well able to sail the boat single handed but is also very patient and will explain things and let you play a part. He has many years of sailing experience and knows both the boat and waters around Crete VERY well. Our safety and comfort were always priority for him and I recommend him entirely. Giannis is great company, he will tell you all about life on Crete (he is also an olive farmer and if you are lucky you will get to sample his olive oil and fresh produce) but he will also take himself off with his book and give you some family time. Thankyou Giannis for a truly wonderful and unforgetable experience!

We had a great day on Johns boat, the boat was good and well prepared. John was a great communicator and couldn’t do enough to help. Will hire from John again next time we need a boat for the whole day.

Had a great experience with Manolis. The boat was perfect, no issues at all and our skipper was very helpful. Don’t be surprised if you have to wait for your boat, it was a little late for us
