Best vacation of our lives!
I’m not sure where to start but not only was this the best vacation our group has experienced, it was possibly the best week of our lives. We all agreed that the only thing that could make the trip better is an additional week! The boat (Royal Flush) is a masterpiece in itself—immaculate and spacious, high-tech and (extremely) well equipped. I can’t imagine there’s a better boat out there. The crew, really our friends now, Morphi and Dimitris, are Greek angels we’re sure—absolute saints those two! Every moment getting to spend time with their bright and beautiful personalities was a treat. Morphi’s food made us positively emotional and every dish was better than the best meal in a restaurant (which were still epic meals of course). She fed us well and often and perfectly timed, always with a smile and warmth. She knew who enjoyed what coffee and each persons personal wine happy hour preferences. She always had a story to tell and radiant energy, and we miss her smile dearly. Dimitris was a mind reader with planning our itineraries and every excursion he arranged was perfectly paired with the groups energy level and personality. You like wine? He knows the perfect wineries on each island. You like sights & adventure? Here are 4 ATVs waiting for you to cruise Spetses at your leisure. Oh you like to swim, yeah? Here are four of the most beautiful turquoise coves you can dive into. He’s just a cool guy, absolutely interesting and full of knowledge. Also, when it comes to navigating a large boat with charisma and confidence, I doubt anyone can do it better. Even when novice captains around us would mess up our anchor or docking, he didn’t sweat it and was a pro. Smooth sailing to the maximum! Eugene, Joanna, and both Marias were kind and patient to work with. Planning every detail and giving surprisingly prompt responses (I’m wondering when they sleep). Everyone has questions, I’m sure, and I had plenty, always answered by them with grace. The Saronic Islands are not to be missed and while we thought the popular Cyclades were the ideal spots, you’ll have to twist my arm to get me to go anywhere else. I’m convinced the Saronic are heaven. The sunrises and sunsets give pause and time stops in those moments. I hope everyone gets to experience this at least once in their lives. I believe the relaxation, happiness, and bliss our family experienced that week is the meaning of life. Yachtsailing.gr and everyone involved, you’ll see us again soon! In the meantime, thank you so much for the experience you provide to stressed-out, over-worked Americans. We owe you :)

Best Trip EVER
My husband and I, along with another couple, contracted for 5 days on the Casino Royale. Wished that we had 7 days as 5 days seemed too short. Harris (captain) and Vicky (hostess/cook) were INCREDIBLE! We always felt safe even though the winds were quite high for part of the trip. Our best meals were those that Vicky cooked. Both of them aimed to please. Each day, we discussed the weather and the plan (to which island, timing, meal options). In route to the next island, Harris would ask if we needed any recommendations on activities or restaurants. He would call ahead and reserve a tour guide and/or restaurant so that when we arrived, the local tour guide would be waiting for us. Vicky would go shopping for groceries (so that everything was super fresh). This is customer service at its BEST.
