    Our family has just returned from a one week sailing adventure with Capt. Mike on his Beneteau yacht. He showed us many beautiful Islands that we would have never seen on our own. We also had Sofia with us which was a real treat. Sofia prepared breakfasts and lunches introducing us to the local, delicious cuisine making this a total relaxing vacation. Mike and Sofia's sailing skills, good humour, warmth, and Greek hospitality made this an unforgettable trip. Many thanks to these two wonderful people.

  • Antonio D'Orso a month ago

    A wonderful experience. Both Captain Mike and Sofia, the hostess, were very professional and always attentive to our every need. The places they showed us were uniquely beautiful. Having two children, we were worried there might be problems, but instead we had a wonderful time.

    A wonderful week in the Saronic Gulf, in the best company and with the best crew, Mike and Sophia, top professionals and great people! This is our fifth year and there will be many more; next year we'll be back with them, this time in the Ionian Gulf!

    Sofia and Michailis are the best team to sail with! I would definitely sail with them again; they always make the experience better than you can imagine 💓 always looking for the best spots to swim and sleep. It's such a pleasure to sail with them 🌞

    What a truly amazing week we spent with Mike and Sofia aboard the Oasis! We could not have asked for a better experience, Sofia provided amazing, fresh breakfast and lunches with plenty of local produce and feta! Mike let us sail many days, coaching us when needed 😊. We cannot say enough good things about our experience! Memories for a lifetime!
