I have been chartering yachts for thirty years now. Kerkeris yachts are certainly one of the best I have encountered. The service and hand overs were personal, quick and efficient. The yachts are clearly very well maintained and consiquently, unusually perhaps, we didn't have any piece of kit that didn't work or broke. I would have not hesitation in a) recommending them and b) rebooking

Our day on the boat was the best day of the holiday by far! Nancy kept us well informed leading up to the day, and made the whole process very easy. The crew were amazing and very accommodating, taking us to a range of coves, and also took us to an island for an amazing meal for lunch. The boat has everything you need onboard. It was a birthday celebration we’ll never forget!

Idyllic and preserved sailing area compared to other more touristy areas in Greece. On the other hand, the prevailing wind flows from the northwest must be taken into account when planning your route (eg: for the southern islands, you have to be able to go back towards KOS, we did 13 hours of meadows (under the sun!). During our stay at the end of April and beginning of May, the sunshine was daily (it seems to be the sunniest area in Greece, we checked it)
Zone de navigation idyllique et préservée par rapport à d'autres zones plus touristiques en Grèce. Par contre, les flux de vent dominants du nord ouest sont à prendre en compte pour programmer son parcours (ex : pour les iles du sud, il faut pouvoir remonter vers KOS, nous avons fait 13h de prés (sous le soleil !). Lors de notre séjour fin avril début mai, l'ensoleillement fut quotidien (il semble que cela soit la zone la plus ensoleillée en Grèce, nous l'avons vérifié)
