MIXit Sailing Holidays

We just returned from a super holiday this Beneteau Oceanis 393, we couldn’t have been more pleased with it. From the help choosing and booking the yacht and especially the welcome and introduction from George and Aris, they simply couldn’t have been more helpful or pleasant to deal with. The boat is also in superb condition and maintained to a perfectionist level, I am always encouraged when I see super neat wiring and plumbing, new stopcocks, and engine which looks and sounds brand new, perfectly varnished woodwork…. This yacht was perfect for a family of two adults and teenagers to manage and a joy to sail in all winds, we would book here again without hesitation. Richard.

Hi Philip, We had a fantastic time on the boat with skipper Gianni. Everything about the week worked out well and skipper Gianni was very accommodating to our needs. This is my 5th sailing trip and the best one so far.

Tanks a lot MixitSailing and George in Volos for a nice week in the Nothern Sporades island group. Our boat a Beneteau 43,4 Cycades was in good condition and worked nice. Possibly the service battery needed to be replaced to next season, but it is now reported and I am sure it will be fixed .We are especially satisfied with the communication with MixitSailing with promt answers to our questions. It was not obvious for us to use an English agent because we are 4 swedes but it worked better than expected.// Bo and friends

We had our sailing vacation at the last week of August. We were welcomed in Volos by Thanasi and Yannis, who are the Mixit Sailing representative there. Both guys were helpful, and detailed during the check in procedure. Boat features were explained well and understandable, emphasising to the more important matters. Check in went in good order and quick. The boat was already very well prepared, clean, with all components functioning properly for her age. We found that engine oil was at the lower limit and Yannis immediately ran to the store, brought new bottle to fill to max. and one for spare. During our trip we sailed about 210nm and quite many of them under engine, because of lack of enough wind, but we didn't see the oil level getting lower. Everything on the boat worked as expected, sails in good condition, furling mechanisms did not pose problems, provided being treated correctly, the two toilets were very good hit, so there was no que in the morning. The yacht sailed well and relatively fast, making 6-7 knots in 15kn. beam reach apparent wind. Pointing to the wind was also acceptable, taking into account her moderate draught of 1.65m. The lower draught let us to not worry so much when entering more shallow areas, like Steni Vala for example, and also to be able to anchor closer to shore. The galley located to PS along the side was very comfortable when using it in the port or at anchor, but when making seaway and there is chop of about 1m, the roll makes it more difficult to operate there. In a conclusion we were very much satisfied with the boat and Volos staff and would recommend this yacht to anyone who wants to have exiting, trouble free sailing trip for a budget price.
