The boat is perfect to get off the main ports and see the islands without all the cruise ships and crowds. Captain Dennis was great from arrival to departure. He is a very experienced captain and made the trip fun and enjoyable. Will definitely book again!

One of the best experiences we've had in our lives!
We had a wonderful experience on this trip. Our Skipper, Dennis was excellent in every aspect, conveying safety, kindness and efficiency at all times. He made us delicious food and being able to have the meals on board was really cool. We were lucky to meet amazing people, we made dear friends. We had a lot of fun, we saw beautiful places, we loved the experience. I highly recommend it! Dennis is the best skipper, congratulations on the excellent job.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 !

I liked the briefings the Dennis would give us every morning and evening. We knew exactly what to expect each day, regarding weather and comport conditions. Dennis gave us good information about each island and good recommendations for dinner and night-life. Dennis gave us all a go at steering the boat, even under full sail. Very exciting.

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..

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.

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.

Wonderful sailing adventure
The cabin charter experience was wonderful on this well apportioned sailboat. Captain Dennis was very attentive and mindful of the guests wishes for desired destinations while ensuring safety. Daily briefings of weather and prospective destinations were provided and guests were given opportunity for input. Our first small boat cabin charter and we would absolutely do it again. Great opportunity to meet people from other counties in a small setting, only 8 passengers. By the end we were a team. Great bunch of people. Important to note, while Santorini is a possibility and a part of the Cyclades, it is a significant distance south of the rest. Therefore it is rarely possible to make this island without very long sail days on either side. So don’t count on making Santorini and there won’t be disappointment.

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.

Brilliant Trip on the Christianna VII
This was the first.time that we went on a sailboat for an extended period of time. We did not have one second in which we doubted the skills of our captain or worried about our safety. It was clear that he had a wealth of experience and he had passanger safety at the forefront of his priorities. Denis took us to swim in some incredible places which we really enjoyed. He was also personable and cooks a great breakfast! Denis also.did a great job informing us of our options upon arrival each day including food options and exploring the island. The boat is in good shape. If you have not previously sailed, you should do your best to gain an understanding of how much room you will actually have before packing. It is also helpful to understand the water closet and shower arrangements. It is not terrible, but different if you have no experience. If you are prepared it will lower the stress levels once you arrive. My friend and I are both in our late 50s. We loved the adventure, the beaury, meeting new people, and exploring so many islands in such a short time. Lastly, this type of experience is for you if you can clearly listen to the captain, stay out of his way unless asked to assist, and you are able to make "good weather" on the boat with other people.
