⚓ And a professional skipper with 20 years of experience, who has the skills to manage all types of seaworthy vessels.
* Book the yacht Assol, the number of places is limited.

And before we go, a few sailor jokes for you:
- Why did the sailor go shopping? Because they were having a sail.
- How do you make sailors look younger? Boat-tox.
- How do retired sailors greet each other? Long time no sea.

    We had a great time as a family on the boat with Olena and Stas as our crew. Both did everything to comfort us during the trip, even up to 60 knots of wind! The boat is small for 8 people, but we got along very well. Some minor problem with the anker was solved in short time by our crew. We would return for another trip in a heartbeat! Many thanks and all the best!

    It was great. I cannot emphisize how enjoyable, safe, and overall relaxing the trip with Olena and Stanislav was. They took great care of us, we didn't have to worry about anything. Trully passionate, nice and professional skippers that created a family like atmosphere on the boat. The yacht itself had more than enough space for 5 of us (plus 2 skippers). It was clean, we could make and store food while on the sea. We were sailing for 4 days, and enjoyed every moment on the Saronic Islands. We will definitely come back. Highly recommend it.

    We thank our excellent skippers Olena and Stanislav for their professionalism and kindness. We spent 11 incredible days with them. Incredible anchorages in the middle of August, far from the crowds, just as we requested. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.

    We had a bittersweet experience aboard Assol, which we chartered for three nights (four full days). Overall, the journey was pleasant, largely thanks to our highly skilled skippers, Olena and Stas, whose crisis management expertise proved invaluable. Their calm and capable handling of a significant engine failure—while anchored in a remote bay—ensured our safety and minimized disruption. Following this incident, we have formally flagged the issue, as there is a strong likelihood that the vessel's engine requires inspection and servicing by a certified marine engineer to ensure it is in proper working condition. Additionally, it is worth noting that overnight anchoring at a port was consistently favored, potentially due to limitations related to water and battery storage, as well as ongoing concerns with the engine's reliability.

    The boat size was more than enough for our family of 4. (3 adults and 1 teenage). This is our first sail trip in Greece and it was more than we expected. The crew were professional and had sound local knowledge. In fact, we witnessed our crew team helped a few other boats docking in a busy marina. We knew we were in good hands. We had 4 whole days on the boat and we had a good time in the Saronic island. It was more enjoyable than our cruise ship hopping through the big touristy island. Will definitely come back and sail again.

    We have spent two nights on Viola’s boat, sailing in the Saronic gulf. It was amazing experience, the boat features matches the advertised and the skippers were professional and outstanding. We had a severe weather condition on the second day, but we felt in safe hands and enjoyed the trip despite we had to return back to Athens.

    The communication with Viola was super smooth from the very beginning. She was really helpful, easygoing and welcoming. She also organized a transfer to us from the airport. We were 8 girls on the boat and it was truly amazing! It was our first time on a boat but we had a great time! Our skippers Olena and Stas were wonderful! They were very nice and welcoming. They recommended a lot of hidden bays, restaurants, hiking places. They always asked us where we would like to go or when we would like to stop for a quick splash. They are really experienced skippers. I recommend them to anyone 100%. The boat itself was very clean and well equipped. Thank you for this experience!*****

    A superb first experience on a skippered boat! We thank Olena and Stas, our skipper couple, for their welcome, kindness, availability, and professionalism. We visited some beautiful places (Perdica, Moni, Poros, etc.). The boat, Assol, is very comfortable and safe. We recommend this experience without hesitation!

    In general, the experience was outstanding. Thank you very much to Viola and our skipper Leonidas, who was super kind. We started our trip at 10 am in direction of Egina Island, the way was super smooth and sunny. We arrived to the island after 3 hours with no stops in between. We had the lunch in a super good restaurant recommended by Leonidas next to the beach. After that, we took the yacht again and went to a small island where we were literally alone. The yacht stopped around 100m from the island. That place was amazing, the water was super clear to practice snorkel and the depth was around 6m. We swam until the island, walked a bit around, practised padel and many more. We had an incredible moment there. After 2 hours, we started the way back to Athens and arrived at night. 100% recommended! Such an amazing experience :)

    OMG what an experience!!!! Viola was super clear and fast to communicate prior to the trip. We are a family that had never travelled by boat before, so the experience was very new to us. The trip by boat is basically like camping but on the sea. We were 5 people + the skipper and it was just enough space for everyone. Fragkos, our skipper, made the experience so much better. We always felt safe with him. He took us to great swimming spots and to very nice towns. The boat on arrival was very clean and had all the basics. Cabins get very warm and it doesn't have Aircon. We had an amazing time and we will definitely be coming back, perhaps with a bigger boat haha.

    Because of the wind, they suggested that we not go to Aegina and go to the beaches of the Athenian Riviera. It was already windy, but we started. we made two stops for diving. On the way back, however, there was too much wind and the engine broke down on the way! How long did the waves take us where it was blowing because it had a breakdown!! Mr. Angelos did everything to repair it, but how much should he do to an already damaged boat?! Unacceptable to rent boats that are already damaged!!! Supposedly a diver did an inspection before we left!!! we were very scared as there was no inspection of the boat! We had to turn back early and went down badly! Our walk turned into a bad experience in a city! I will definitely not trust this owner's boats again!!!!!

    Viola is a very communicative host and offered all her best for providing the best possible experience of charter. We had all support necessary for issues such as marine police interaction, technical consulting and journey plan. Unfortunately, the boat that we have rented experienced technical issues associated with the engine, however I believe it is not due to Viola but due to the previous maintenance. Overall for sure an excellent experience and definitely to repeat.

    We spent a very nice day with friends (group of 8 people) on this sailboat. The boat was large, very comfortable and well equipped. We particularly appreciated the friendliness and responsiveness of Viola throughout the reservation, as well as that of the team on site. We sailed to the island of Aegina, then made a second stop on a cove to swim. Radoy, our skipper was very friendly and attentive to our requests. We recommend with your eyes closed!

    We had a wonderful boat trip and went for lunch to Aegina and were anchoring at some islands to have a swim on the way back! The value for money was really good, the communication fast and easy. Unfortunately, the boat had difficulties to start when anchoring near some small islands, which was a bit stressful since some needed to catch a flight, but after half an hour the skipper could repair the problem with some help of us and we could continue our boat trip! Overall recommendable!

    Very good communication and welcome. The boat will benefit a lot from a service in terms of electricity efficiency (batteries etc) and more important from plumbing maintenance for making sure water supplies are secured and available and that toilets are clean and free of annoying smells. Good maintenance of equipment should also include items like the sea board, dingie, passerelle etc ... all the above listed had issues which can be easily fixed though

    This was such a great day! Viola was very responsive when making the reservation and super friendly and helpful. The skipper Thalanasis and his first mate Giorgos were amazing: Knowledgeable, kind and super attentive they were such a great team to take us around the Saronic gulf. Unfortunately there was no wind on the day we went out so it was very slow going as the boat doesn’t move swiftly without it, so we were only able to visit Aegina and surroundings The boat itself was really comfortable though, and the skipper equipped it with all sorts of drinks and snacks and snorkeling equipment and even a couple of swim tubes! I can not say enough good things about them!! I Highly recommend them and would definitely use again if the occasion arises.

    There are no words to describe the unique experience we had! We booked Bavaria sailing for my husband's birthday and had a great day with our family. The staff were very kind, very experienced and very willing to share their sailing knowledge with us. They immediately made us feel very comfortable and feel completely safe. Bavaria was very comfortable, spotlessly clean, fully equipped and renovated. Beautiful both inside and out. Congratulations to all and many thanks for everything. We had a great time. We will definitely do it again! :)
