Thank you for an incredible week on the water. We loved sailing around the Saronic Islands, spending time at the towns and swimming in the stunning bays. Our highlights from the week include crew’s amazing food, Captains fun leadership, and Chefs ’ music! You make a great team and work so well together. I’ll never forget our swim with Costas in every great location. Better than a resort or a retreat — we are so grateful for a great experience!

What a great week in the Saronic Islands. So many fun days and nights. You all took such good care of us. The food was top notch. Like eating in a fancy restaurant each night., thank you for the special birthday dinner & for spoiling my bday dinner — it was delicious. Probably the best bday feast we’ve had with 10,000 baby octopus. Chef— you are an incredible chef. What a beautiful family trip. It will be talked about for years to come.

Dear Captain & Crew of NOVA
For my 50th birthday, I longed to sail to Ithaca – drawn by the Odyssey, one of the founding texts of our civilisation.
This week has been nothing short of a dream made real.
The Captain traced a course that led us through Ionian islands still wild, preserved and enchanting – a land & sea where the presence of gods, heroes and myths can still be felt. The chef filled our days with divine creations, flavours so deeply .
Guest Comments Highlights 2025
The surprise prepared for my 50th birthday was magical down to every detail – the lights, the folder, the cake, the balloons, you even organised some rain and thunder... It felt as though you had invited the gods themselves! haha 😊
And NOVA more than a catamaran, it became a beloved house that carried us across the blue waters of the Ionian Sea.
To all of you: THANK YOU! ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΩ! With all my heart for guiding us on a jou.
