Just a short note to thank you both for a fantastic holiday and for a very detailed, and helpful process from our initial enquiry to leaving to come home, your attention to detail and customer focus is just first class and certainly put me at ease from the first call and email I made (and the many in between!).
We sailed Arista for 2 weeks around the Southern Ionian Islands, we went to Sivota, Frikes, Cefelonia, a beach party on Ithica, Big Vathi, Kioni, Little Vathi and Spartahori, from start to finish the welcome, advise and service that Jonny and Ruth gave us were nothing short of perfect, this was our first sailing holiday and we will be back again next year with Island sailing, just hope we can sail Arista again.
This has been our sixth sailing holiday in Greece but the first with Island Sailing.
Regarding Island Sailing. Well the service they provide is excellent. The boat was impeccably clean. It was exactly as stated in the brochure, very well equipped and had nice little extras which demonstrated excellent standards of care and service.
So would we use this organisation again? Absolutely. Would we recommend them? Absolutely
Just wanted to send a brief note of thanks for another wonderful week in the Ionian. As always everything was meticulously managed and it was a delight to sail Alina again. As for the 'Greek crisis', the UK media reports seemed a million miles away from life in the Ionian. Our experience was that shops were well stocked, staff and service in the restaurants were as friendly as always and island life was calm and tranquil, we had a wonderful time and look forward to returning again as soon as we can.
We wish to thank you both, along with Alan for one of life's great experiences which all of us want to repeat as soon as possible and as often as practicable. Your yacht was immaculate and of the highest standard, as was the service from you all. The sailing we had under Alan`s instruction was so simple and exciting, even though we had never sailed such a large yacht.
The route we took with flotilla was perfect. All restaurants that were chosen were very good, great holiday had by all. Will definitely recommend to all our friends.
Thanks for all your hard work on the boat to ensure that our sailing was trouble free. Pre holiday support and planning advise was fantastic. The Bavaria 32 handles really well and was certainly suitable for short handed sailing.
Being a first time 'skipper' on a charter, I think the information and advice prior to the trip was invaluable and I was impressed by how quickly queries were answered, so thank you! Also the FAQ section on your website is massively useful. I think being very clear about what the charter includes is also a positive, I knew exactly what I had paid for and what to budget for, which meant no hidden costs.
Hi Jonny and Ruth, I just wanted to drop you both a line and thank you for what will be one of our most memorable holidays ever.
The boat was just perfect. Everything on it was in perfect condition and operated flawlessly making us the envy of everyone we met on our brief tour of the South Ionian Islands. From the set of high quality cooking knives, quality binoculars, ground tackle and so on through to the brand new tender and outboard, everything was as good if not better than the equipment I would put on my own boat.
