Fantastic way to explore the Cyclades
Sailing on Christiana VII was a fantastic way to explore the Cyclades! Skipper Denis was incredible at finding a route that capitalized on the weather and made sure everyone on board was gettting opportunities to sail all while prioritizing safety. We had days that we were unable to sail due to weather, but Denis made sure everyone had other things to do at port. Cabins were comfortable and breakfast and lunch on board was great. I highly recommend this to anyone that is trying to avoid the major crowds while still taking in the beauty of the islands.

Phenomenal Vacation
The sailing trip on Christianna was a remarkable experience that exceeded expectations. The islands offer a blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and energy. This trip is highly recommended for anyone seeking an unforgettable escape filled with sunshine, adventure, and food. Special thanks to Captain Dennis - he is an amazing sailor, host and at times guardian. :) We would do it again.

jast a perfect trip August 2024
This was our fourth holiday experience on a sailboat and the first with the formula of "breakfast and light meal included" which allows passengers to enjoy more free time. Captain Dennis, in addition to being a truly professional and helpful skipper, is also good at preparing and managing the galley so much so that he surprises even us Italians who have the cult of food. We were satisfied with everything, thank you.

We loved our trip with Capt. Denis and Vasilis on Christianna 7 exploring the beautiful islands of greece. Having never sailed before, I was a little apprehensive but I took my sea sickness pills and no issues. We had good weather and great company! Loved seeing all the islands... So incredibly beautiful!

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.

Relaxation, Adventure and A touch of the unpredictable
We had a fantastic trip. Denis was a master of his trade. He made it easy for us to put our trust in him. At the beginning of the journey, he set the tone by telling us that for the next 6 days, we were family. And he was 100% correct. Indeed, we became very close, shared many laughs, and made incredible memories. The ship was well-maintained and had many comforts of home. The galley was compact, but we still managed to enjoy our time together. The deck was spacious, allowing everyone to have a spot to experience the best parts of sailing. The cabins were cozy and comfortable. Highlights included watching Denis hoist the sails and navigate the ship, dinner cooked by Denis, our stop at Antiparos for a swim to a secluded beach, and exploring the charming, whitewashed villages on the many islands.

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.

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.. The flexibility of the trip, it let us choose if we wanted to swim that day or get to certain ports early ect.

A safe, personal, and memorable excursion on the stunning Aegean sea.
Weather on the first two days led to some reticence of this type of experience but from there on in, as we got our sea-legs and better weather, it was marvellous! Our fellow cruisers evolved from strangers to friends with so much laughter and shared wonder of the surroundings. Captain Denys and Assistant Captain Vasilis (an extra hand due to the captain's broken arm) made our trip safe, comfortable, and added to the belly-laughs. Captain Denys constantly monitored weather conditions and made decisions on the fly that made sense to all. My wife and I are confident that this trip will be memorable for all involved.

A week in paradise in the Southern Cyclades
Highly recommend sailing the Southern Cyclades in the fall while the weather is still warm but the crowds have dissipated. And particularly recommend doing so with skipper Denis on the Christianna VII. Denis seems to know all the beautiful, out-of-the-way coves that are perfect for swimming and having a peaceful, solitary afternoon cocktail, the small villages where the only other tourists are sailors, and he seems to know all the harbor masters and the nuances of mooring and navigating the harbors. In addition to being a skilled and cautious skipper, he is also a consummate host and chef - always concerned about the well being and enjoyment of his guests. It was a wonderful week - definitely a trip to remember.

Our skipper, Denis, was the consummate host and excellent skipper. Christianna VII is well maintained, clean and a lovely boat. And of course, the Southern Cyclades are a paradise, particularly with Denis guiding us to beautiful, out-of-the way coves and villages..

It was great to see and learn how the sailing is done and to help with the ropes when arriving and leaving port.

I think I would choose a bigger ship next time.
The cabins and bathrooms are pretty small and my shower drain kept backing up meaning wet feet in the middle of the night. I would have liked more time for swimming but the distance to each island didn’t allow it. It would also have been nice if the Captain was knowledgable about the islands we visited and provided some history. He was very good at his job as Captain. The people on the cruise were all lovely and we prepared meals and cleaned up efficiently. I think starting the mornings earlier and having more time for swimming in coves would improve the experience. It was usually 9:30-10:00 when we left port and around 4:00-5:00 when we would pull into the next port. If I were to take another cruise I think I would choose a bigger boat.

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.

Amazing Skipper Denis, great people, and a unique experience.
The sailing trip was absolutely amazing. Denis is an exceptional skipper – he always explained everything clearly and in detail, and his confidence at the helm made everyone feel very comfortable on board. The week was a bit windy, which meant we couldn’t swim as much as we would have liked and we weren’t able to sail to Santorini. This is something the company should make clearer in its description, as most trips to Santorini are often not possible when it’s windy. Even so, Denis offered us great alternatives: we took a ferry to Santorini, and he also found sheltered spots where we could swim safely. Thank you, Captain! Regarding meals, the company promises breakfast and lunch. Denis prepared us a very nice breakfast every day, and the lunch was lighter but still enjoyable. It’s also important to mention the way the trip is advertised. The company promotes it as 8 days and 7 nights, but in reality, it’s 6 sailing days and 7 nights – since the first and last nights are spent on the boat in Mykonos without sailing. Overall, the experience was excellent. We were lucky to share the boat with wonderful people from different countries – dining together, doing activities, and sharing moments that enriched the whole trip. Sailing in rough seas was both thrilling and unique, and exploring the Greek islands was truly magical. An unforgettable and one-of-a-kind experience!

The best way to explore Greek islands!
Denis was an incredible skipper, making us feel safe and welcome at all times. He went above and beyond, really cares about the boat and his guests, and is a really great cook! The rooms are small, but very comfortable. We were able to help Denis as much (or as little!) as we wanted with sailing, and he always gave a brief on where we were going and what to do on each island when we arrived in the harbour. His knowledge of the region really showed when he took us to secluded bays each day where we could swim and explore the crystal clear waters, empty beaches and inviting sea caves. We were even lucky enough to see dolphins multiple times on our trip! Koufinisi was our favourite island, with quiet and cute streets, lovely beaches, and an authentic charm, but they were all lovely in their own unique ways.
