MIXit Sailing Holidays

Due to Covid we had to postpone our trip several times. Philip from Mixit was always very helpful in arranging everything and giving advice for our extra insurance. In Volos we were warmly welcomed by Ria and Demitris. All formalities were correctly and pleasantly arranged. The yacht was in perfect order. The Meltimi forced us to anchor for 2 days in the small harbor of Kottes, not the best place to stay with the wind blowing right into the harbour. Fortunately the yacht was in good order and we had 100 meters of anchor chain to insure ourselves against the strong wind. The other yachts were less happy with their shorter anchor chains. Thanks to the solar panel, we also had no problems with the energy on board so that we could run the fridge. The days we sailed were great, the boat is very stable and little wind was needed to be able to sail at 5 knots. We hope to come back to sail to the Sporades in better conditions and hope we will be available to sail her again.

Hi Phil I just thought I would drop you a line to say that we had an excellent holiday, Andy and Christine were great hosts, the boat was just what we needed and the extra days gave us the perfect amount of time to explore the places we wanted to. Weather was good too and a bit cooler than the UK for a couple of days ! :) The yacht was everything we could have asked for and excellently prepared, maintained and cleaned and thank you also for your assistance taking us up to the supermarket on the first day. Many thanks for arranging everything and all your help and advice which was much appreciated. regards

“We chartered the Sun Odyssey 49DS for a week and for our family of 6 it was very spacious and well equipped. She also sailed very nicely, which cannot always we said about charter boats. Phil from MiXit Sailing and the boat owner were really helpful all the way through. For example a problem that arose was whilst we were sailing was quickly sorted so that it did not impact our holiday. The sailing area was amazing and the local knowledge of the skipper on another boat in our party was invaluable. I would happily recommend both this boat and sailing area as well as MiXit Sailing.”

Hello of course. First of all, Dimitris is a very kind guy. Then, this Bavaria 36 is a good boat, very confortable for 4 people. The front cabin is tall enough for me, 1.84 m... The solar panels are efficient. A good engine. The quantum's sails really nice. It was the first time we use this kind of sails and sincerely, with the family, it was the best. To finish, we discovered wonderful landscapes ans islands. We fell in love with Skyros. But the bay of volos is also amazing, very quiet ... I think we should come back later. Sorry for my English, I'm a french people and try to do the best. Find in attachment few pictures. We keep in touch for later. Bests regards Régis
