Greek Water Yachts

A fantastic professional and knowledgable company. We had a wonderful 5 day sailing trip around the Cyclades with Ilias as our captain. You will see things rarely seen by others, and you will truly experience the real Greece. This company was very easy to work with, very professional and very accommodating. A must!

What an experience! Just GREAT! Now we all have memories for a lifetime 🙂

We had the best family holiday ever with Dionysis as our skipper for the week sailing around the Cyclades. We shall never forget the fun and laughs we had with Dionysis as he let our kids sail the boat whilst we sang along to his playlist and trying to spot dolphins! The communication I had before the trip was super efficient and friendly and I felt confident with the choice we had made. I can鈥檛 rate this small company highly enough as the experience you will have is all about the skipper and as Greek water yachts only employ a few skippers you can be sure of a successful trip. We would love to do this trip again and please don鈥檛 hesitate to book with them!

Excellent trip with Nikos on his 39ft catamaran. The boat is perfectly equiped, very clean, confortable! Nikos knows perfectly the area so he'll make you discover wobderful islands, beautiful bays, villages, harbours, restaurants, etc.. Go ahead!

We took a one week vacation with Greek Water Yachts. I highly recommend the company, the management, and our Captain. This is a well-run business, who managed communications effectively and timely about our trip, who delivered on everything they promised, and gave our family a vacation to never forget. Concern about our safety was clearly important and made us very comfortable. And ensuring that we have a wonderful relaxing, memorable vacation was equally important. Don't hesitate! Enjoy!

This was a trip of a lifetime for us (though I hope we can get a crack at it again at some point). The amount of freedom to explore and set out own schedule was unlike any other vacation we've taken and helped create a really special experience for us.

I felt like me, my wife, and the skipper, Costis, all clicked early on and it was just like having a friend along. The scenery was amazing and we got to experience the area at our own pace without any real distraction, interruption, or stress. Our skipper helped guide us in each of the places and had excellent suggestions to fit our preferences. This really couldn't have turned out better.

We are a family of 4 (parents with 2 teenage girls of 15 and 19) and thought that since we have a freshmen in college, this might be our last family vacation for a while. We thought of Greece and found GWY online. We contacted them and decided to book a week in August 2017. We did our grocery shopping just before boarding, but we recommend that you meet your skipper first and check what you will need. The grocery store is right there across the street, so it is very convenient. Our skipper was Dionysis Savvas, a very knowledgeable and friendly sailor. We could not have been happier with him. We decided to let him tell us where to go and that was a good choice because depending on the winds, plans can change, that's what happened to us. He took us to beautiful coves, beaches and restaurants. The food was amazing, people are very hospitable, maybe the nicest people in Europe. The boat is not very big but was very comfortable, you can sleep 4 people and the skipper. GWY's philosophy is amazing, the way the owner, Antonis Biskentzis, sees it is that he only wants 4 people maximum and the skipper. He wants people to be comfortable and happy but also he wants the skipper to be comfortable and happy, and I think that it is a good way to run a business. Some cruises like this one try to put as many people as possible in a not very big boat (we saw some) and that does not look appealing to us. So in summary, great communication before trip, great welcome at the dock, great skipper that we adore, amazing cruise, beautiful and I mean, beautiful places, great food and people. Go for it, you will not regret it.

My first experience with Greek Water Yachts in June 2015 was so fantastic that I did it again in August 2017.

Booking is easy, the company is reponsive, helpful and informative. The sailing trips themselves are fantastic. I had two very different trips, as weather considerations as well as the choices made day by day, led us in two different directions. The boat was very comfortable, at anchor or moored as well as under sail or motor.

The Cyclades are full of beauty and interest. Swimming off the boat in beautiful, secluded places was a highlight of every day. Each time, the week was like a detox for mind, body and soul.
