We hired a Lagoon 40 with Blue Sails from Alimos and spent 4 days around Saronic Islands with captain George. The boat was absolutely neat and flawless. George was very professional and laid back in a good way. We also met the owner and altogether they seem like very good people and very keen to provide good service and thereby grow as a company. Highly recommend.

The best week ever! My wife and I used this company to sail around the Greek islands for a week for our honeymoon, and it was amazing.Marinos was our skipper and he made the trip wonderful. He took us to some of the most beautiful places we have ever seen, had great recommendations for food and drinks on every island, and was awesome to travel with!I have nothing but great things to say about Blue Sails and the experience we had. I highly recommend this company to anyone! It was truly the best week of our lives.

Here's a review you can use for a rental property:---**Amazing Stay at [Property Name]**Me and my family recently rented a Catamaran from Marinos and it exceeded all of our expectations. The boat was in highly well condition with all the necessary equipment that we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay.Marinos was incredibly welcoming and responsive, ensuring that we had everything we needed throughout our cruise, including consultation of the routes.I would highly recommend to rent from Marinos, and I look forward to returning in the coming future!

Top trip of a lifetime! A group of 8 sailed on a Bali 4.6 Enma with Blue Sails in the Saronic islands of Greece and had a magical time. Our experienced captain Yannis took the worry of traveling off our shoulders and brought us safely to new ports each day with time for leisure and swimming during the day. Our wonderfully talented hostess Dragana took good care of us, making us delicious feasts for breakfast and lunch and recommending restaurants for dinner while in port. Don't hesitate with booking with Blue Sails...we will be back for round 2!

Absolutely a perfect trip! Marinos, the captain, was not only flawless but entertaining to watch him mooring the boat into very tight places, by himself! I completely trusted him to negotiate with the marinas to get the best slips. He even had a great relative who took us to the airport and around the last day at a very fair price. Go with this guy!

We chartered Golden Promise, a Lagoon 46 catamaran for a two week trip with 4 couples. We hired a skipper (Yiannis) even though we had some experienced sailors in our crew.First - hiring a skipper was the best way to do a trip such as this. The local knowledge that a skipper brings is invaluable. If you are new to Greek Island sailing you should hire a captain. Yiannis was simply amazing and we now consider him our friend. He kept a constant eye on the wind and weather conditions and gave us various options on a daily basis. It also helped to have someone who knew the local language.Next - our cat was perfect for our needs. We have done similar trips in other countries and the boats typically have problems before we even embark. But our Golden Promise was in excellent condition and if anything did go wrong, Yiannis was quick to correct it.Last but not least, Marinos and his dock crew were extremely efficient, accommodating, and professional.This was, by far, the best boat charter we have done.
