MIXit Sailing Holidays

Dear Philip, Of course, I will send a picture of our last night at Skopelos. I did rent the yacht just for me and my wife. Philip did give me a great support at the front end. That’s why I think it is worth to write for him my opinion for this yacht. I decide for this Oceanis 38.1 because of these circumstances: I'm very tall and do not want to duck my head for two weeks. This yacht has a salon taller than 2 meters. We are both over 60 and appreciate more space and a soft bed. The space was okay and we have had air beds in our baggage, because all yachts have not really soft beds. When 2 people rent a big yacht which is designed for 6 the price is important. All in all, I was happy with the offer. I know the younger version of this yacht from other trips, but this yacht is really okay. I did expect that such old lady is noisy during the night, but it was perfect. The sail was in a very good condition and everything else also. Of course, some small problems we had with some details, but every yacht has these issues when it is on charter some times. I know newer models have thrusters and solar panels and so on, but for these things I was not willing to pay 1000 EUR and up for this trip. In this area the need for a thruster is low because the space in these harbors is big enough. The battery of this yacht was very okay and we need no solar panel. I could criticize a few things, but I had one of my best sailing trips. I would go again with this yacht. The best time was the first half of June. Regards Axel

Hi Phil, We had a great time and thanks so much for organising everything and the extra transfers before and after our trip. Our family had a super sailing holiday on the Sporades. Phil was so helpful in organising our trip and our skipper Andy brought us to some beautiful places and adapted the route to visit locations that we wanted to see. Very relaxing and the boat had everything we needed. Lots of fun and great memories were made.

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 were delighted with our bareboat charter sailing from Skiathos, to Skopelos, Alonnissos and some of the uninhabited islands nearby. The boat was in beautiful condition and great value for money compared with other quotes we had. Dimitris met us at Skiathos and was very helpful with everything, including our itinerary. He stayed in touch throughout the trip texting us ideas for the best restaurants and things to see as well as sailing tips. When we got the sail jammed he immediately found someone to meet up with it and fix it for us, so we were on our way in no time.
