TESTIMONIALS

Dear Nikos, Despina and Gregory,
You made this the trip of a lifetime!!! We know the islands and the sea journey would be fantastic, but we never imagined that the real treasure was on-board. You made the trip so special by being the awesome person you are. Nikos, your sailing and flexibility with the course were supurb. Despina, you need to publish a cookbook because your meals were 10x better than the restaurants. Gregory, you were ever present to take care of everyone's needs, and you .

14th of September to 21st of September 2025

Dear Nikos, Despina, and Gregory,
Beth, Bill, Bam and I had the best time ever.
Beth and Bill had raved about the experience as this was their second trip with Nikos, but one can't appreciate the words as much as the experience. Nikos, Des and Gregory couldn't have been more kind, attentive, and generous in spirit and service. They anticipated our needs and needs we didn't even know we had! We can't say enough wonderful things about the three of them and how they will all be friend.

6th of September to 13th of September 2025

Where do we start? Charter number 2 on board the amazing Esperance. What makes it amazing, apart from being a beautiful, well equipped yacht, is the fabulous crew, Gregory, Despoina, and Captain Nick!
From the Ionians to the Saronic Gulf, what a trip! Meganisi and Kefalonia,to Nafpaktos under the Rio-Antirrio Bridge, through the Corinth Canal (what an experience!) on to Poros, Spetses and the busy but picturesque port of Hydra.
We sailed, we ate, we drank (mastika), we swam, snorke.

27th of August to 5th of September 2025

To Nikolas, Graig and Angie!

14th of July to 21st of July 2025

To the crew of Esperance..
When 40 knot winds threatened our trip in the Cyclades , Captain Nikolas recommended a change to the Saronic, ALWAYS TRUST THE CAPTAIN!
We had an absolutely perfect trip! While the rest of the Aegean was being wind whipped, he found us flat coves, crystal clear waters and picturesque towns. We shopped , we swam, we ate, we drank and created beautiful memories with our friends. We can ask for nothing more. To Angie, you cook from your heart and it shows! T.

27th of June to 4th of July 2025

To the best crew ever!!!
What started as a 4 day trip ended up as a wonderful 2 week experience of the beautiful Greek islands.

To Gregory, your job isn't easy! You're all over the place assists the captain and the chef , cleaning our rooms on a daily basis, even when the boat is rocking from side to side and always calm and with a smile!
No doubt you'll make a great captain one day!
