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 wonderful time with the wonderful skipper and host who went out of their way to accommodate us. As hosts go we could not have asked for someone more attentive and both he and the skipper were amazing. We had a delicious meal cooked by them and a fantastic time for our birthday celebration - they even provided a cake for the occasion. We would definitely recommend using them.

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.

Giannis and his team were very accommodating, even though we contacted them very late for a boat tour for the same day. They were very flexible in terms of timing too. The boat was in a great condition and the service was very hospitable. All in all it was a great experience and we had a lot of fun. Big recommendations!
