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!

A very nice tour. Giannis is a truly kind person, a very good cook, and, above all, a fantastic sailor! He's very accommodating to your needs and is flexible whenever possible. If you want to learn something about sailing, he'll share his knowledge; if you want to enjoy the quiet, he'll make that possible too. We'd love to come back!
Sehr schöne Tour, Giannis ist einfach ein herzensguter Mensch, ein sehr guter Koch und vor allem ein super Segler! Geht sehr gut auf die Bedürfnisse ein, ist flexibel wenn irgendwie möglich. Wenn man etwas über das Segeln lernen will, teilt er sein Wissen - wenn man still genießen möchte, macht er das ebenso möglich. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Exceptional moment spent with family, with 3 children (8, 7 and 3 years old)!

Giannis was great, very professional, reassuring, patient and very kind with the children.
We were received like kings. Thank you to him!

Nous avons été reçus comme des rois. Merci à lui !

We had a fantastic day of sailing with skipper Giannis. I am still a beginner sailor with a "sea" sports boat license and Giannis explained everything to me, answered all my questions and looked after and coached me fantastically. We were greeted very warmly by him and looked after well the whole time. The food he cooked himself with ingredients and fruit from his own farm was delicious. We had a lot of fun and felt very comfortable on board. Everything was sparkling clean and well maintained. The boat was in top condition. He has a lot of sailing experience and is highly recommended with his sailing yacht Christina! We will go on board and sail with him again. Thank you for the wonderful day we were able to spend on board the SY Christina!
Wir hatten einen grandiosen Segeltag mit Skipper Giannis. Ich bin noch Segelanfänger mit Sportbootführerschein "See" und Giannis hat mir alles erklärt, mir jede Frage beantwortet und mich fantastisch betreut und gecoached. Wir wurden sehr freundlich von ihm begrüßt und die ganze Zeit gut betreut. Das von ihm selbstgekochte Essen mit Zutaten und Obst aus der eigenen Farm war sehr lecker. Wir hatten viel Spaß und haben uns an Bord sehr wohlgefühlt. Alles war blitzsauber und top gepflegt. Das Boot war in einem 1A-Zustand. Er hat sehr viel Segelerfahrung und ist mit seiner Segelyacht Christina sehr zu empfehlen! Wir werden wieder bei ihm an Bord gehen und mit ihm segeln. Danke für den schönen Tag, den wir an Bord der SY Christina verbringen durften!

Really great experience! It was our first time with the kids (3 and 8 years old). John did everything he could to adapt the experience of sailing to the kids. They loved it! Even if we had a strong wind and even if it was freezing. Bravo!
The boat was nice and comfortable. We had 2 days and a night. We could discover very nice coves around heraklion and sailing the other part of the journey.
Thanks John!

We rented Christina bareboat for 4 days. Giannis is charming & has tended his boat with love. She is old but in great condition & sails well. She was built before some modern conveniences but experienced sailors will be very happy onboard.
We stayed in Milatos & Agios Nikolaos marinas as she must be charged every 2 days.
Spinalonga was a highlight & Milatos is so peaceful we stayed twice.

Yannis is an excellent host and sailor.
He has a keen eye for when to be present. He has excellent knowledge of Crete and of the world in general. The trip was adjusted day to day to the group’s needs and wants.
The boat and equipment are older, but very well taken care of and clean.
All in all I would definitely recommend Yannis to take you out on a trip short or long.

Comfortable and very clean boat the skipper John was a great company and available to the needs of the group. She made us a great lunch !! I recommend that you book with him if you come to Crete to spend a wonderful sailing trip.
Esperienza bellissima!!
Barca comoda e molto pulita lo skipper John è stato di ottima compagnia e disponibile alle esigenze del gruppo. Ci ha preparato un ottimo pranzo!! Vi consiglio di prenotare con lui se venite a Creta per trascorrere una meraviglia gita in barca a vela.

Very good week with crossing to go to the Cyclades and very nice experience. John is a great skipper and knows the sea of Crete and the Cyclades perfectly. He gives very good advice and knows how to adapt the constraints of the weather to your wishes. He also knows how to be discreet and leave you with your family. It was very nice. Thanks again John.
Très bonne semaine avec traversée pour aller dans les Cyclades et très belle expérience. John est un super skipper et connais parfaitement la mer de Crète et des Cyclades. Il est de très bon conseil et sait adapter les contraintes de la météo avec vos souhaits. Il sait aussi être discret et vous laisser en famille. C'étit très sympa. Merci encore John.

Captain John (aka Giannis) was the perfect holiday skipper. He helped us create a feasible voyage and rolled with the punches when various events outside his control (wind or the lack thereof among other things) necessitated on the fly adjustments. He was friendly, knowledgable, patient, and accomodating. Hope to be back next summer so we can sail to Dia Island and beyond with Captain John.
