Our sailing trip was fabulous! My family and I enjoyed it so much. We were glad to sail with a perfect equiped and maintained yacht. But all this doesn’t mean a lot when you don’t have the support and skills of a one of a kind skipper.
Thomas, July 2023
3rd time we chartered from GIY and we continue to be WOWed! The team is super professional and makes you feel they are there only for you. Check in and out is seamless, boats are in perfect shape, all tools and accessories working to perfection, any questions answered promptly and expertly... even during the trip when we called for some advise. Even for a restaurant recommendation on an island we visited.
I could not recommend GYI more!
Congrats!Bogdan, Smiling Day
We had the pleasure to charter Smiling Day in July 2020 for two weeks.The experience with Greek Isles Yachting was impeccable, everything was ready including the pre-arranged provisioning. The yacht has been very well maintained and ready for our tour without any concerns.Still very impressed with the level of detail for the service - the yacht is accompanied by extensive manuals to very quickly get familiar with the systems onboard and the hand-over process is thorough.Armando's knowledge of the sailing grounds is impressive, his advice on routes, ports and anchorages made our vacation much better.Thank you again very very much for making our vacation possible in such complicated times.
Lucian & Lana, Smiling Day
Greek Isles Yachting team made our sailing holiday so easy even in the midst of the COVID pandemic. Their usual friendly, well organised competence was made even more amazing by their attention to detail on virus protection. As well as a deeper deep clean and careful social distancing measures at the quayside, we were greeted on the boat with everything we needed from sanitiser sprays and cleaning swabs to a forehead thermometer and full protective equipment, should they have become needed.
Of course the boat was great, the area beautiful and of course we had fun. The extra care they paid us was also very well appreciated and calmed a few worried crew members.Thank you
Mike, Kalidna July 2020
Außerordentlich freundliches Unternehmen, souverän professionelle Übergabe und Rücknahme des gecharterten Schiffes. Die Einweisung in das gecharterte Fahrzeug war umfangreich, die Positionen der einzelnen Komponenten wurde zusätzlich fotografisch dokumentiert.
Freundliche deutschpsrachige Belegschaft. Greek Isles wird von mir weiter empfohlen.
Eberhard
Wir dürfen auf eine wunderschöne Woche zurückblicken.
Herzlichen Dank für Euer top Service. Ich durfte schon zahlreiche Yachten chartern habe aber noch nie so eine Liebe zum Detail erlebt.
Dazu kommt Euer top Personal. Alle sehr freundlich, kompetent und pflichtbewusst.
Ich werde Euch wärmstens weiterempfehlen und freue mich selbst auf den nächsten Turn.
Herzliche Grüsse aus der verregneten Schweiz.
Stephan, "Kalidna", Oceanis 51.1
I just wanted to say thank you for a great experience. My wife and I had a great time and Chris was a perfect skipper for us.
Mike, "Jackals"
Bei der Übergabe der Boote ging es sehr professionell und systematisch zu. Hilfreich ist eine Mappe, die genau beschreibt, wo welches Inventar auf dem Boot zu finden ist. Das erübrigt das Suchen wiebei vielen Vercharterern, wenn man bei der Bootsübergabe das Inventar prüfen will.
Die Boote ( wir hatten drei) waren im gepflegten und sehr guten Zustand. Die Kojen waren bereits mit Bettwäsche bezogen.
Bei der Rückkehr helfen die Mitarbeiter beim Anlegen. Die Abnahme bei der Rückgabe ist schnell und professionell.
Das Personal ist freundlich, hilfsbereit und sehr kompetent.
Einer der besten Vercharterer, bei denen wir Boote gechartert haben!
Andreas
I wanted to write and thank everyone at Greek Isles that made our trip so special & memorable. From our initial communications, to showing up on the dock and seeing Kalidna ready & provisioned, meeting Nicos & Vivi, the level of support provided was outstanding.
Overall we could not have been happier with our time sailing with Greek Isles and we look forward to sailing with you again.
Tania, "Kalidna" Oceanis 51.1
Eine optimale Betreuung und sehr gepflegte Schiffe. So wünscht man es sich und trifft selten so an.. Dafür möchte ich mich herzlich bedanken und werde im Nächsten Jahr sicher wieder kommen.
Franz-Josef, "Kallisti" Sun Odyssey 439, "Arethousa" Bavaria 45
Had a very good experience renting a yacht for two weeks here. Greek Isles Company is a company run by four people who all know all the details about their boats. Also during the trip, they advised me when needed on some occasions. I would come back here again.
Jeroen, "Handakas" Bavaria 50
Just a short note to thank you both and everyone on the GIY team for yet another fantastic sailing experience. We enjoyed your very high standard of service once again, from the initial enquiry stage right through to the yacht handover.
Ken, "Kalidna" Oceanis 51.1
Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour!
L’équipe Greek Isles est super !
Un service 5 étoiles
Un grand merci à Constantine qui était toujours disponible pour nous tout au long du séjour!
France, "Kydonia" Sun Odyssey 349
Would thoroughly recommend, all the staff were professional, friendly and very helpful. Our yacht was obviously really well looked after, sailing 'Poly' was a joy. The ouzo raspberry jam also went down a treat!
We will be back .....Roo, Bavaria 46, "Polykandros"
All very professional and great service from end to end! The most amazing skipper and Crew in all of Greece! Seriously, if you decide to visit Greece there is no other way and the best part is, it was completely affordable and the best quality boats I have experienced thus far. In terms of Crew and Skipper, definitely ask for Nikos Avaridis and Vasia!!! They are so nice and know the Greek waters and it’s treasures like the back of heir hands!!! Thank you Greek Isles Yachting for this most unforgettable experience!!!
David, Fountaine Pajot 40, "Cassopea"
Kallisti ist ein tolles Boot, alles super gepflegt und in Ordnung, gut ausgestattet, es fehlte uns an nichts. Die technischen Einrichtungen, angefangen vom Motor über den Kühlschrank bis zu Sanitär haben alle perfekt funktioniert. Zu den guten Segeleigenschaften haben auch die neuen Segel beigetragen. Gerne wieder
Michael, Sun Odyssey 439, "Kallisti"
This is not my first experience with them. Excellent quality of service, best condition of their yachts and friendly team makes me get back each year again and again :-)
Serhiy
Oceanis 45 "Idroussa"
Very good yacht and price. Very good company. Excellent information on Board, Russian-speaking management, attentive to customers, special thanks to Garry.
Vladimir, Sun Odyssey 439, "Kallisti"
Sehr guter Service, wir hatten Probleme mit unserem Gepäck. Die Base hat sich drum gekümmert und uns das Gepäck mit der Fähre nachgeschickt. Vielen Dank !!!!
Die Kommunikation ging auf englisch und deutsch sehr gut uns zu jeder Tageszeit.
Axel, Sun Odyssey 45 "Amorgos Blue"
Wir waren zum 3ten Mal mit GIY unterwegs. Wie immer beginnt der hervorragende Service bereits weit vor der Anreise. Um Provisionierung, Transfer, Sonderwünsche kümmert sich das Team um Marialena ganz selbstverständlich und vor allen Dingen frühzeitig.
Bei der Ankunft erhielten wir unser Schiff (Arethousa) in perfekt vorbereitetem Zustand (Sauberkeit und Technik). Auch die Einweisung sowie die Checklisten zeugen von Liebe für das Detail und lassen keine Fragen offen. Zusammen mit Armando haben wir aufgrund der Wettervorhersagen unseren ursprünglichen Plan Richtung Hydra zu laufen über den Haufen geworfen und uns aufgrund seiner hervorragenden Ortskenntnis in die Kykladen aufgemacht. Die richtige Entscheidung!
Nach unseres einwöchigen Törns bleibt festzuhalten, dass das Schiff in einem sehr guten Zustand war (keinerlei Probleme), die Ausrüstung praxisgerecht ist (nicht vermisst und von einigen Dingen überrascht) und der Service in allen Belangen erstklassig (freundliche, nette Menschen die Ihren Job verstehen und lieben) war.
Frank, Bavaria 45 "Arethousa"
100% perfect week, team was so nice and super reactive! For sure, we'll come back as soon as possible!
Eric, Sun Odyssey 439 "Kallisti"
Best charter ever. Totally recommend. Professional guys and the great maintained boats made us say BRAVO. Now we have a friend in Athens.
Rozzo, Bavaria 40 "Poseidonia"
GIY is surely one of the best charter companies in the Med sea. You can trust their boats are in very good condition even is they are a bit older! Staff is also very helpful - wonderful People!
Torsten, Bavaria 40 "Poseidonia"
Organizzazione perfetta, barche in ottime condizioni, cura dei materiali grande professionalità nell’assistenza
Lucio
Thank you for wonderful service from the begining to the end. Getting infornation, quick response to questions and any advice needed. Never had such experience before on many charter trips taken. This exceptional service continued after arrival when receiving and returning the boat.
Moshe
From booking to finish our experience was excellent. Emails were answered promptly and completely. Our boat Megisti was provisioned exactly as requested. All staff were courteous, professional, and met all our needs. Costantino was extremely amicable and helpful, and even called us a taxi when we departed. Our skipper, Manolis, was fabulous! His skills were top notch, his demeanor friendly, and his recommendations of restaurants and excursions were perfect. He was eager to show us how to sail and encouraged us to sail as much as we wanted.The boat was well maintained, fully equipped and very comfortable. Overall, our experience was wonderful!
Melanie
Our experience with Greek Isles was nothing short of awesome. The attention to detail by Constantine and his crew was exceptional both in the detail of the yacht and their organisational skills. The welcome basket of goodies was a lovely touch. We felt well taken care of and loved the entire experience. We would have no hesitation in recommending Greek Isles to others. Greeks are and should be very proud of their country. They are naturally welcoming and incredibly friendly. See you soon!
Hamish
Thank you once more for the perfect Organisation, perfect boat and extremly friendly treatment.
There is an extremly difference of your Company to all other charter organisations - maybe Croatia and Montenegro. I recommend you to all my Colleges and Patients.
Thank you again and see you next year,
Helmut
Das gesamte Greek Isles Yachting Team war super nett und hat sich Zeit für einen genommen. Alles top erklärt.
Peter
A superior customer service and terrific communication from the team. It has been a pleasure. Next time we are in Greece GIY will be our first choice.
Stan
Very well maintained nautical equipment and sails. Very clean yacht. Professional, competent and friendly staff.
Recommend this company and this yacht!!
Tomasz
We had a wonderful time in the Cyclades and Greek Isles Yachting-Team had a great positive impact:
The boat, a Sun 349 from 2014, was in excellent condition, very well mantained
Even more important - Armando and Constantine from GIY did a fantastic job in taking care of us: we felt truly welcome, they helped us substantially, were available when we needed them. I cannot remember too quickly when we have ever enjoyed such a level of hospitality. Really outstanding
Kati and Torsten
Very welcome reception on arrival. Good instruction and a beautifull clean yacht.
Vincent
Dear Marialena, dear Sofia, dear Constantine, dear Armando, dear all,
Thanks for all your efforts and your support for making it possible to have had a wonderful time. Again we enjoyed Greece and our trip with Idrousa very much!

L'organizzazione della fase di check in e di preparazione della barca é stata estremamente professionale cosi' come la gestione della riconsegna al rientro della crociera.. La barca era in ottime condizioni ed estremamente pulita. Ottima vacanza
Matteo
Greetings to all at GIY,
Well, we are all now back in England in the rain, and memories of our happy days aboard Arethousa are fading fast. This was our 7th consecutive year with Greek Isles Yachting, and it is still a great pleasure to sail with your company. Everything went smoothly, the booking process, check-in and handover, and the yacht was in perfect condition and very smartly prepared.A big thanks to the whole team, especially Marialena and Sofia in the office, and as always to Constantine for his usual warm and friendly service.
Warm regards from England.
Ken and the Arethousa crew
Hello Greek Isles Yachting!We enjoy the stay at your base!The ship, the Crew, the Office: You are all the best.Thank you!Josef
We had a very good time in Greece and we really appreciated to sail with Greek Isles Yachting. Thanks Armando for your support, Thanks Constantine for your welcoming
Didier
In my perspective a GREAT companyYour company has two big strengths.Your philosophy of quality and service around the boats you charter to your clients is one of the highest standards. Real quality (for example about safety) is a genuine and unique asset and tough to maintain.Secondly:In all my interactions with your staf, they are first and foremost friendly, helpful next to professional. This combination with the previous strength makes you in my perspective a GREAT company.The cherry on top is the fact you are able to make to whole check in /out procedure of chartering very smooth and simple by proactively managing the time consuming and bureacratic details. Together with the details (a dutch flag, etc)I travel for my work to a lot of countries, visit a lot of venues, hotels, professional service companies and you are in my view among the best client focussed service providers I know. Keep it up!Thank you for making my holiday.
Viktor
Your country is beautiful to explore by boat
Dear Constantin, Armando and team, We would like to thank you for the wonderfull sailing holiday we had. The check in and check out were clear and well organised, the boat was very well equiped and your country is beautiful to explore by boat. Thank you very much!

GIY lived up this mark
Greetings from sunny England
We had a very enjoyable fortnight sailing from Cos to Athens(and even a bit of tense adventure when the steering failed outside the harbor at Astypalea with a lee shore!
It is the mark of a good charter company that when things go wrong (as they always will at the sea!) that the service is there to put things right.
GIY lived up this mark when it was arranged to be fixed in a timely and professional manner.
Please thank Constantine for arranging this and all his excellent service as usual.
We are already discussing our next year's holiday and should be in touch in the coming months.
Best regards,
Ken and the crew of Polykandros 2014
The boat was extremely nice, well kept and well appointed.
We are back in Canada after a wonderful holiday in Greece.
Just wanted to touch base with you and let you know how much we enjoyed it.
Greek Isles was wonderful, Constantine, Armando and Klaus looked after us very well, they were friendly, helpful and welcoming.
We were all impressed.
The boat was extremely nice, well kept and well appointed. Everything worked well.
Thank you for everything.
Roy
