Dear Crew,

We always pondered what paradise really was and having the privilege of sailing on SY Helene solved this problem. Being with you spending time on this glorious craft was an experience of a lifetime. We loved the charming spots, the beautiful scenery and of course Chef’s scrumptious cuisine. Captain you are the most gifted, competent and professional of all the others that we have sailed before!! We have to return for another experience in paradise

Our cruise developed exactly in the way we planned it without any inconvenient and under the constant support of the crew, beyond our expectations. The boat is in excellent conditions, the captain Andreas is a great professional sailor plus a pleasant, discrete and flexible person to whom you may ask anything, he will make it happen. Dimitra is hand wonder, creative chef, excellent deck helper, always smiling! Everything was perfect!!
Thank you & Much love

Andreas and Mary,
Thank you so much for such a wonderful trip. It was unlike any other sailing/ yachting experience. You two made our stay seamless and effortless. We have enjoyed the rustic elegance of the Helene and it has been the perfect boat to sail to see all of the Cyclades.
Santorini – Folegandros – Sifnos – Antiparos – Paros- Reinia – Mykonos
We don’t want to leave, and we will most certainly come back! <3
Again, many thanks for making part of our honeymoon so unique and memorable.
Much love (Big Love)

24 – 29 JUNE 2018

We had an amazing week discovering the Ionian Seas. Through stormy days and excellent sailing weather, Andreas and Mary always kept it safe, friendly and professional.
Thank you Mary for the extra protein meals and wonderful cooking. Andreas for his patience is sharing and teaching our newly acquired sailing skills; figure 8 knot, anchoring, zodiac…
A big thank you for helping Oliver get on his skills for the first time.
We sadly say goodbye for now but we will surely be back for our next sailing adventure
‘’Sea’’ you later

8-15 July 2017

Lesson learned! We have always resisted getting a crewed charter because we have always preferred to sail ourselves – not because we are the words best sailors but because we worried about spending so long with strangers. We were wrong! Andreas was very calm and always very cheerful and patient. Mary is the most wonderful hostess, a fabulous cook and so good at taking care of the youngest passenger Henry aged 9. We were very relaxed and can honestly say that we could not have been looked after better by so staff! The attention to detail has been outstanding. We hope to see you again!

4-11 May 2017

Thank you for the stunning trip! Everything was great! Amazing sailing and good condition of the boat gave us unforgettable impressions from the trip. Special thanks to captain Andreas for his sailing masters and Mary for cooking for us delicious Greek traditional food. With the weather we were lucky, there was sun and light wind, good wine and super suntan! We will be back!

03-10/06/2016
