"We had an all-round great experience with this Oceanis 40. The base staff were kind, pleasant and ready to assist us in any way. The ship is well-maintained and equiped, and during our two week trip, we didn't find ourself in need of anything she didn't offer. This trip was first time on sea for a part of our crew and it left everyone wanting to come back. Amazing experience, we'll be back for sure!"

Sailed for a week but we felt it was not enough, Sporades offered us the amazing experience, beyond our expectations. Easy check-in and check-out, with a serious and comprehensive support. The yacht was like new, very well taken care of, with all the necessary amenities and a lot more. She sails magnificently, very easy to handle and responsive. Very well designed and ergonomic (we had the feeling of a larger yacht) but also really efficient – we managed very easy to sail with more than 60% of the wind speed, and we’ve done that without fine tuning. The overall experience was very beautiful, we have collected a lot of unforgettable memories in our journey.

Thank you, we had an excellent trip. Mixed weather but that to be expected for the time of year. The boat was good as being new, everything was fresh, clean and in good working order.

This year, we rented the Cyclades 43.3 and had the opportunity to sail through the beautiful Greek waters and islands. The six of us on board had an amazing time – the stunning scenery, the fresh sea breeze, and the fantastic crew made this trip unforgettable. The yacht was in excellent condition, fully functional, and we didn’t encounter any issues at all. Everything went smoothly, from sailing to accommodation. With such an incredible experience, we can't wait for another adventure and more great times with the same crew!

“For the second time we booked through MIXit sailing where Phil was very helpful in finding us a suitable yacht and arranging for it to be delivered to Skiathos. On arrival at the port (a very short taxi ride from the airport), we were met by Demitrious and did the necessary paperwork whilst we waiting for the yacht to be delivered from Volos (as expected). That also gave us a chance to get in supplies and were on board by late afternoon. The boat was very clean and spacious, despite us being a party of 8 and we were able to put the 5 cabins to good use. We chose to stay in Skiathos overnight and in the morning, we received a thorough briefing on the yacht which was in good order. There were a couple of minor issues which hadn’t been reported by the previous charterer, but these were quickly resolved by Demitrious and we were on our way. The yacht sailed and performed well during our week and we thoroughly enjoyed this fantastic sailing area which ranges from lively towns to deserted anchorages, especially in the nature reserve of Kyria Panagia. We were able to stay out on our last night returning to Skiathos first thing in the morning which meant we could enjoy an extra port on Skopelos. Overall an excellent holiday and we would certainly be happy to book through MIXit Sailing again.“

Hi Phil All went well, we were very lucky and had very few issues getting there and staying in Volos before sailing and the boat was perfect for us, It also sailed well and we had some lovely weather both for sailing and relaxing. Thanks for your help Richard

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.

Hi Phil, I just wanted to say - THANK YOU. It was a great experience and much fun! I have to admit that the boat we got, actually was a bit too big, but we handled it and had a great time. It will be a pleasure for us to stay in touch. Have a great summer and see you hopefully soon next year! Best Vani

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.

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
