  We have had a fabulous holiday with Seafarer sailing with a flotilla. First time sailing with Seafarer. Highly recommended. The sailing support team led by Daisy were outstanding. Thank you

  We've been on a number of different flotilla holidays with Seafarer Holidays now. They just keep getting better and better. From the support from Nevena and others in the office to the lead crew when we got there, all excellent. Special mention to Angelo and Yvet, the lead crew who were friendly, personable, helpful and a joy to be sailing with. Just the right amount of support when needed but not there at your every move. Probably like most flotilla sailors, we like to do things ourselves, as this is the best way to learn and improve. Angelo and Yvet were brilliant. They were highly professional, confident and experienced sailors but chilled enough for the guests to feel at ease. I have to say they're probably the best crew we've ever sailed with and we've been on more than 15 flotilla trips. We've never sailed in the Dodecanese islands before but we'll certainly be back. Great sailing, beautiful islands and very few other flotillas or yachts around. Perfect! Thanks Angelo, Yvet (and Angelo the Cat) for a fabulous two week break.

  This was our first time on a cabin carter, booking was simple and straight forward. I booked it a complete surprise for my wife’s birthday, all she was told was that we were going “Posh Camping”. We arrived by taxi at the dock side and was immediately greeted by the skipper and the first mate Calum and Louise (aka, Jack and Whitebait) they guided us aboard the spotlessly clean Christianna VII and introduced us to the other guests. From the start Louise in the galley was a dream, breakfast every morning was fresh tasty and nothing was to much. Lunch times, at anchor in an idyllic bay, she magically prepared all manner of culinary delights (don’t mention the egg-mayo sandwiches). Calum our skipper was very knowledgeable, experienced and calm in short, a dam good skipper. Louise and Calum work very well as a team allowing their guests to relax and enjoy themselves with lots of great humour, a winning combination. The rest of our “Posh Camping” week visiting one beautiful Greek island after another was just a dream come true. We were blessed with fantastic weather, awesome scenery and a sense of wellbeing that you only get when your surrounded by good like-minded people. Would I recommend Seafarer, Calum and Louise? Most definitely!

  Seafarer once again got everything spot on. Right from the booking stage to sorting out our return cancelled flight. The Flotilla crew were great fun and very knowlegable, putting everyone at ease with all their decisions. 5 star all the way.

  Having recently sailed with Seafarer I have found them to be a great team all round. They have been courteous, friendly and nothing too much trouble throughout the whole experience. Well done all.

  Jo and I started to sail in 2013 and sailed on flotilla with Seafarer in the Ionian in June 2014. From our very first contact with them they have looked after us every step of the way. Since that first flotilla we've sailed with them on at least 14 further trips, both flotilla and bare boat and sometimes a mix of the two. Most of our sailing with them has been in Greek waters including Corfu, The Ionian (many times), Circumnavigation of the Peloponnese, The Saronic Gulf, Athenes and The Sporades. We've had yachts from 32ft to 41ft both old and new. Occasionally things don't work as they should (or how I expected them to) but the staff on the ground have always sorted issues immediately. We have been happy with every yacht we've been on. On every occasion Seafarer have bent over backwards to look after us, from initial booking to final departure, nothing is too much trouble for them. I can't praise the whole team enough, they have made our holidays and they are the reason we return to them time and time again. If you're looking at flotilla holidays, whatever your sailing ability, Seafarer will point you in the right direction, look after you from start to finish and make your holiday a pleasure.

  We have just completed a great two week sailing flotilla with Seafarer and would recommend them to any one who wants to enjoy sailing in the sun! Our boat was spotlessly clean when we arrived and performed well throughout the trip despite some challenging sailing weather. The Flotilla team did a fabulous job of looking after all the boats and their crews, regardless of sailing experience or ability. We have sailed with other flotilla companies in the past but would now always choose Seafarer as the most professional.

  I stayed at the Seafarer Nikiana Beach Club together with my wife and daughter for a week and it was truly one of the best hoidays we have ever had. The Seafarer Team are all excellent and took the time to help us in any way they could. My daughter still says when are we going back to "Seafarer Beach" and i personally cant wait to get back there aswell.

  No serious company and manager at all. Try to avoid it. Unfortunately, the first day when leaving the port we had an issue with the engine of the dinghy. A blow of wind suddenly came and the engine of the dinghy crashed with the boat that was next to us. We were willing to pay for it but they charged on our bank account the amount they wanted as after asking for the invoice of the reparation and works done for more than 3 months now, I am still waiting for that invoice (I have been calling the company and its manager Chris for 3 months now every week). We couldn't sail 4 days due to the overheating of the sailing boat engine and had to stay anchored in a bay. The alarm of overheating of the engine was ringing. The guy of the base told us that they were aware of this problem and he recommended us to lower the revs but the problem still persisted. We asked him for a solution as we didn’t want to be expose to any possible safety problem. No solution was found. Autopilot: after one or two minutes, it stopped working. I recorded a video the first day leaving the port in which you could see it didn’t work at all. VHF radio: when getting into the port, we called through channel 74 (the one of the port) without receiving any answer… Once we arrived, we checked with the guy of the port if the radio was working. We could receive the message but we couldn't transmit it. Regarding the 4 days without sailing, they told us we would receive a voucher and after 3 months we haven’t received anything after calling this company every single week. Not recommendable at all.
