MIXit Sailing Holidays

We chartered the Bavaria 46 Cruiser in May 2018, from Volos. This was the second time we chartered with MixItSailing. As always the service and contact with Phillip and his team was impeccable. The quality and condition of our 10-year old yacht was outstanding. In 25 years of chartering, all over the world, I never chartered a yacht in this superb condition. Volos is an ideal base to sail around the Magnesia-bays and to the Sporades-islands (Volos-airport is only a 20-minute taxi-ride away). We again had a wonderfull time in this sailing area, it’s not overly touristy in contrast to some of the more popular Greek-sailing-areas, and it has a more laid-back atmosphere. Highlights and hints : - BBQ on the beach of Or.Peristera (Peristeri island) - Agnanti restaurant in Glossa (Skopelos) : one of the finest dining-experiences in the last 20years in Greece ! - Diavlos taverna in Palea Trikeri : delicious shrimp-spaghetti. - Stafylos taverna in Volos : wide choice and very tastefull dishes (a 5 minute walk from the quay in Volos). Again MixIt proved to be the best choice to charter a yacht in this area, Grtz from Belgium, Koen Jacobs & crew.

“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 Phil. Thank you so much for all the effort you put in to create a magic week for 4 families (and a couple of friends). The boats were all in great order, solid and ideal for chartering. From calm days to F6 Meltemi, glorious sunshine to interesting rain squalls- the boats responded very well to all conditions. And with plenty of accommodation we were very comfortable with 7 on board. Our course was: 20-27 Aug, Max F6, Volos, Trikeri, Panormos (Skopelos), Steni Vala (Alonnisos), Panormos, Kiriaki, Volos. 147 nm. Overall a great week - we completed the mission to visit the ‘our last summer’ bay and the wedding scene church - so Mama Mia satisfaction achieved. 22 very happy customers. Thank you Michael

Firstly I would like to thank Phil for all his help in arranging the perfect yacht for our holiday with 2 young children. We had asked for various out of the box arrangements to be made and these were all taken care of. We arrived at our meeting point The Fresh Cafe in Skiathos and were greeted by the base manager Lambros , for which nothing was to much trouble even giving us enough sheets and towels for a month at sea. The yacht was perfectly equipped and had so many extras that we were taken aback. it even had a microwave. We had a wonderful time sailing around the Sporades and took the advice from Lambros as to where to go . Many memorable moments but waking up surrounded by Giant fishing vessels did make for an interesting exit. Thanks again to Phil and Lambros and once again I would like to thank Lambros for the extra hours given on board whilst waiting for our flight.
