Unforgettable sailing tour in Greece
We had an unforgettable sailing tour in Greece with skipper and can fully recommend it!The boat was very clean and well maintained at all times. Our skipper (Denis) was extremely friendly, professional and always made sure that everyone on board was comfortable. The route was varied and perfectly planned – with beautiful bays, beautiful beaches and charming islands. Every day offered new impressions and unique experiences.The atmosphere on board was relaxed and pleasant. We felt safe at all times and were able to enjoy the holiday to the fullest.Thank you for this fantastic week at sea! We would book this sailing tour again at any time and can recommend it to anyone who wants to experience Greece at its best.

Sailed through Greece recently and it exceeded every expectation.
The captain was the standout - incredibly capable, calm, and resourceful. On top of being genuinely respectful and accommodating, he was perceptive, intelligent, and able to shape the experience around what we wanted. The route itself was beautifully curated — pristine water, beautiful anchorages, unhurried pace. The sailboat was clean throughout and well-maintained, which speaks to the overall standard of care put into every detail. The combination of a truly skilled and thoughtful captain, a well-chosen route, and a well-kept vessel made for an unforgettable time on the water. Highly recommend.

Fantastic, Fun Unique Experience
It was such a special experience! I booked it as my husband had always wanted to go on a proper sailing trip. I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did, but it was absolutely fantastic. Our Captain Denis was a very skilled sailor and we had full confidence in his abilities and recommendations. We couldn’t recommend this trip enough, but word for the wise be prepared for all weather conditions and take a wind jacket (and ginger tablets) in case of big seas.

Incredibly fun & relaxing holiday!
This was a really wonderful experience all around. It was my first trip to Greece and first sailing holiday, so I didn't know exactly what to expect. What I found was a lovely boat with a generous quantity of tasty snacks & drinks, led by an expert skipper. I felt safe in his hands, even one day when waters got a little rough, and he managed to find some amazing swimming coves for us. We received useful, informative briefings each day to let us all know what the game plan was, in terms of sailing & our destination. Denis not only caught fish and brought them to restaurants for wonderful group dinners a couple of nights, he also managed to cook us a delicious meal **while** sailing to our next destination. I feel very lucky to have had such a friendly, personable group and an excellent skipper for my first visit to the Cyclades and would absolutely take another trip with LiveAboard.

One of the most beautiful experiences
It was my first sailing trip and I enjoyed every moment of the trip. Every morning Captain Dennis looked at the possible routes with us and explained the sights to us. After we arrived, he gave us very good tips for beaches and restaurants. We never lacked anything on board; we always had fresh fruit, drinks and snacks. I always felt like a welcome guest and would do the trip again at any time. Many thanks again to the great Captain Dennis :-))

Amazing family trip
We had an amazing family trip where the 4 of us all had a brilliant experience ..that even includes to hard to please teenage daughters! As the experience, information sharing and friendliness of Dennis the skipper supported in us all having a great time on our first ever week of sailing. Too many moments to mention them all but in particular, seeing the variety of islands, anchoring in the middle of ports, Dennis breakfast and inclusion on his knowledge of sailing and meeting great people. Would recommend this for families, couples and solo travellers alike.

Magic Cyclades
It was a wonderful trip, mostly due to how beautiful the islands are. Even if you get off with a few bumps and bruises and weather can sometimes be tricky, it is stunning place to be in the cyclades. I could have definitely stayed longer. Since the islands are small, you get te see enough of the main town (Plaka / Chora) in the few hours you get to spend there. The captain also gives some beach recommendations and how to get there. The boat is very nice and clean, big enough for 6 people, not that much for 8. There are multiple hangout spots in different places of the boat. Yes the rooms and bathrooms are tiny and small, yet very clean. also this is as to be expected from a sailing boat. Captain Denis knows his boat, where to find the good swimming spots, and often how to beat the weather. He keeps an eye on everybody and makes sure they are comfortable. However, some honest points I would have liked to know before my trip: - If there is a lot of wind, the journey is rocky, you will get sea sick, and there is no way you can go down to cook or eat at that time. It is just surviving till you get to the port, or hoping for a less windy day the next day. Be aware of this when you go on this trip during the months with a lot of wind (Meltemi) - due to the weather, itinerary might change; This is noted on the website, however I feel like not everybody was aware of how often this happens and that it means that you might miss Santorini (far out) or have to stay in the harbor a day or two. Some people were difficult about it and I feel it would have helped the captain more if this was stated more clearly by the company in advance. It also means that some days, when the sea is rough, there is no swimming. So your trip might not exactly go as you planned or expected. - I read a lot of reviews about the captains great cooking and that lunch and breakfast are "provided", this was not true in our case. "Provided" means the captain buys groceries, asks you what you like, and you then get to cook breakfast and lunch yourself (and wash the dishes of course). Since there are so many reviews about "captain Denis his great cooking" we genuinely expected that lunch would be made while swimming, this is NOT the case. Just to avoid misunderstandings because it is stated quite vague on the website what breakfast and lunch entails. In our case, due to waves, wind, and it being hot downstairs, it was often just cereal or an egg.

A week of great holiday vibes - laughing, swimming, sailing, lots of new sights, experiences and sensations
We had a great time. We went in with open minds and few expectations; the weather was not great for the first couple of days but then improved. We had lots of laughs and all got on very well. There was always food and drink available and fresh fruit which was great. Denys was a great host and chef. Snorkel equipment was a welcome addition as were towels and blankets.

Excellent adventure cruise !
Captain Denis was a great skipper with a lot of local knowledge and information. Although we had windy weather he still managed to get us 2 swim stops in protected bays. It was great to see and learn how the sailing is done and to help with the ropes when arriving and leaving port. All in all was a very nice week sailing with some awesome people from all over the world !

Our trip was magical with great company, lots of great sailing and wonderful stops to explore the islands.
We had a challenging start because of the weather - very windy, rainy and cold. This delayed our start a day and modified the itinerary. It was a good call and we had an excellent sail the first day out. Denis is a very competent sailer who has a deadly sense of humour. I would sail with him anywhere. The weather improved as the week progressed and we even managed to swim almost every day. Our boat mates were great company. It was an excellent trip.

A well balanced relaxing week.
I rate it as one of the best weeks I have spent on holiday. A good discussion right at the beginning to establish what was possible and what was wanted set the tone and a plan. The weather was good and allowed us to get on. The late morning stop in a sheltered cove for a swim was excellent, then a 3-4 hour sail/motor to daily destination meant we had time for another swim and/or look around at our new scene to choose where we might eat. Highlight therefore was Skipper Nils giving us what we wanted.

Best way to see the Cyclades
This was an amazing trip! Captain Denis truly made it an unforgettable experience. He always explained each port and each days activities, he found amazing places to swim/snorkel and stand up paddle board, at each port he gave dinner recommendations and was never wrong, the food was always amazing. If there were any questions on the boat he always explained and was prompt in addressing any concerns or refilling our cookie jar! Highly highly recommend this trip. It is the best way to see the Cyclades in a more intimate less crowded sailing excursion. I could not have asked for a better trip! Thank you Capitan!

Capitan Denis was phenomenal and truly made our trip. The activities offered, it’s obvious that our Capitan knew the area very well and always sure to get us good swim spots and kept us entertained..

One of the best weeks of our lives! I would 100% recommend this experience. Truly unforgettable!
Words cannot express how amazing this week was on the Christianna VII. We made friends for life. My fiance and I shared the boat with such a lovely couple from Australia and four friends from Canada. We honestly didn’t know what to expect, we were hoping for people who we could enjoy but never thought all of us (including our captain Denis) would mesh so perfectly. We had beautiful afternoons swimming in secluded bays, phenomenal dinners on the islands (some as a couple and others with the whole crew). Their sister ship also traveled with us and I had a blast getting to know Neilson, the other captain from the ship. On our first day out the seas were rough and I felt some seasickness along with two other passengers but it is to be expected. Everything else made that afternoon of discomfort more than worth it. I hope you guys keep Denis for a long time because he was the absolute best, I would 10/10 do this again. Oh, and did I mention my fiance and I got engaged on the boat?! We had a huge party afterwards and I will never forget this trip. Thank you, Denis, for being a part of one of our most life-changing moments of our lives. It was such an honor to get to know you and everyone else

Exploring the Greek Cyclades on a small yacht was amazing, sailing over peaceful, calm, glassy waters which can turn into a roller coaster when the wind picks up. … always felt safe with the skipper D
I loved sailing around the Greek Cyclades with Denis and our new crew / family. Being on the water and travelling between islands was my favourite part with spectacular stops in secluded bays for swims and stunning ports to explore. This holiday is not for everyone, but has awakened a seafaring adventurer in me and I can’t wait for my next one.
