Lagoon 42

Tout s'est déroulé à merveille !
Notre loueur Grec, Georges Semiriotis à parfaitement géré tous les aspects techniques et administratifs et nous avons eu la chance d'avoir un skipper exceptionnel (Nectarios) qui a su adapter nos 15 jours de croisières en fonction du vent et ainsi nous trouver les meilleurs mouillages, les petites plages désertes et les tavernes "les pieds dans l'eau" !
Ces 15 jours sont passés beaucoup trop vite !

Nous avons passé un semaine extraordinaire avec un catamaran totalement adapté au nbre de personnes et un confort appréciable.
Nous avions pris le lagoon 42 avec 4 chambres doubles pour 3 adultes et 4 enfants.
Des îles à couper le souffle, la gentillesse des commerçants et Christo notre skipper prêt à se plier en 4 pour répondre à toutes nos exigences et de très bon conseils en journée et en soirée, je vous le recommande à 100%.
A refaire.

Overall, we had the most amazing trip from start to finish. It met and often exceeded our expectations. The only criticism we have, the boat was not serviced to its maximum efficiency before we arrived. We dealt with faulty battery supply, as well as a clogged toilet from the start of our destination. One of the four births constantly dealt with toilet back ups. Although this hindered some of the trip, it did not take away from the overall experience. If we choose to do a trip like this again, we will go over the boat with the skipper with a fine tooth comb before setting sale.

The charter company was very efficient, can highly recommend

We have only good words to share, from costumer service to boarding. Special thank to our Skipper Tomasz.
Thanks for making our July one of the best!

everything was great except for some misunderstandings about the terms of the reservation. I recommend using the booking confirmation in PDF

Easy booking, courteous skipper and hostess, boat very clean, we had a great week

Our trip was a perfect experience. From the very booking, the communication, the quality of the boat including cleanliness and equipment was high standard. Also the last day was handled very well. We had a really experienced and nice skipper. Can only recommend this! Every thing was done to make this a perfect trip for us.
Best regards

A huge shout out and Thank You to Marin from Globe Sailor and George from the base.
Our dream of sailing the Greek islands exceeded our expectations and we fell in love with 'our' 42 foot catamaran, 'Evolution'. We have sailed the Whitsundays in Australia a few times; the coast from Split to Dubrovnik in Croatia and now Greece and to say we were thrilled with the level of service would be an understatement.
Leaving the responsibility to an experienced Captain and Hostess is always wise, enabling us to simply relax and take in the sights. You can always help them if needed. We had intended to cruise south to Mykonos and Santorini and when we embarked the cat, George the owner of 'Evolution' and Captain advised against it due to potential winds and the amount of time we would spend travelling, rather than swimming and enjoying exploring local villages. They urged us to do the Ionian isles and we were so glad they encouraged us to make that decision.
We purchased groceries and beverages and also ordered many items on the provisional list supplied. All packed away by our hostess. Every day we bought ice from a village as it was summer and as there was always a supermarket - replenishing items wasn't an issue. We bought local sim cards for the internet and mobile phones to work and connectivity was great.
Breakfasts and lunches were organised for us each day by our very capable and non intrusive hostess. Dinners were our only responsibility and a number of fabulous restaurants were recommended by the Captain, accommodating our wishes: Fresh fish, meats and delicious local dishes. One of our friends has specific dietary requirements and this was respected and it wasn't an issue. Once we started sailing, the Captain advised, the arrangement was we either gave $$'s to them for their dinners or they joined us. So we did both.

With just two couples in a four bedroom, four bathroom catamaran, space wasn't an issue, All amenities were clean and new and with the catamaran being built in 2017, we felt confident we'd chosen a great vessel and we were right.
We arranged to have a couple of esky's for drinks and the fridge and freezer were for food and ice.

My husband and I love cruising on a catamaran rather than a sailing boat - there is simply more space. Our friends were not as experienced and we didn't know how they would go, staying on the boat at nights and just cruising on the waters during the day - No sea sickness and they just loved it too. My husband is 6 foot 4 and I was a little concerned about the size of the shower, however, it was fine and even had a screen door. We loved how you could see the blue water and fish through a window under the stairs, whilst inside the cat. All air conditioning worked without a problem.

The wonderful villages - Hydra is amazing - provided our senses with exactly what we wanted. Relaxation. Calm waters. Great local food, shopping and site seeing and without crowds. Plus, we were blessed with fantastic weather. The people we met were warm, friendly and it was so safe.

We were extremely impressed with Marin from Globe Sailor, George from the base and crew, we also loved 'Evolution'. Their experience, flexibility and helpfulness was complimentary and certainly contributes greatly to having a brilliant holiday at the outset. Respecting the boat, crew and the islands, sailing is without a doubt one of the best holidays and we will return to Greece to experience the southern islands in the future.

Thanks again for making our holiday so comfortable; memorable and we highly recommend both Globe Sailor and the local operator, to arrange everything you want, to ensure you have the best holiday, sailing the Greek islands. Keep in mind at the end you will pay for all incidentals along the way including berthing, electricity and diesel (So take some cash and have either a Visa or Mastercard credit card).

PS:
If you've never sailed before, remember, when using the toilets on the boat, never ever put anything down the loos; paper included. It's not a talked about subject, however, for newcomers, they need to know. If there is a blockage because of an alien object, it's not fair on the other passengers, the boat and in particular the crew. Every day waste is taken off the boat. Like with other sailing trips, we all respected this rule and didn't have any problems.

Una crociera fra calette con acqua indimenticabile il vento fra i capelli il sole cocente il mare per noi! Che lusso la libertà
