  I had a wonderful week on the 1-week sailing, yoga & SUP trip. Elias is a very kind Greek who organized everything well and communicated excellently even before the trip. He’s a very experienced skipper, so I felt safe with him at all times. Throughout the trip, he regularly checked to make sure that everything for me is okay and always explained what I could do on each island. He also made sure I could reach the sights by bus when needed. At the end of the tour, he even took me to the tram stop. All in all, he’s an excellent skipper, tour guide, and host. I also have great respect for Elias for going ahead with the tour even though I was the only guest. During the trip, there were two stops where I could go stand-up paddling. Yoga sessions were held every morning and evening. The yoga teacher, Athina, is a very kind and lovely person, but unfortunately, I found her yoga classes disappointing and I was always relieved when the session was over. Since she told me she was only on board for a few weeks, I don’t want to factor this too heavily into the overall review—I'm sure there will be a better yoga instructor on board for the next tour. Overall, one should be prepared for the fact that both the bed (especially if shared) and the shower are quite cramped. Tap water on board is not drinkable but Elias provided bottle water.

  Our week-long sailing trip in Greece was pure bliss, thanks in large part to our fantastic skipper, Elias. He was super chill, always up for a laugh, easy to talk to, and always ensured everyone was having a great time. His wealth of sailing experience and local knowledge was invaluable, helping us to discover hidden gems and secure the best spots in popular ports. The boat had enough space and was well-maintained, perfect for a group of friends. We were lucky to have a yoga instructor on board, who offered flexible sessions that fit right into our schedule. We were incredibly fortunate with the weather at the end of September, enjoying sunny days and refreshing swims throughout the week. While you sometimes needed a light sweater in the evenings, but at least it wasn’t too hot for sleeping. So, the overall climate was ideal for a relaxing sailing vacation. The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly the surprise proposal planned by Elias. Without my knowledge, he adjusted the itinerary to create the perfect romantic setting for my partner to propose to me. This made our experience truly unforgettable. All in all, it was a fantastic week filled with good vibes, beautiful scenery, and unforgettable memories. We can't recommend this trip enough!

  We recently completed an unforgettable sailing trip around the Greek Islands with Elias, and it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we boarded his boat in Athens, Elias welcomed us with warmth and hospitality, instantly making us feel at home. His passion for sailing, which spans over 40 years, truly shines through in every aspect of the journey. Each day was a perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. We sailed for about three hours daily, stopping in picturesque bays to swim, paddleboard, and dive into the crystal-clear waters. In the evenings, we dined at charming tavernas in local harbors, where Elias' long-standing relationships with locals made us feel like VIPs.

  This adventure was everything and more! Spending the week with 5 friends sailing, swimming, paddling, relaxing, and doing yoga with Captain Elias and Yoga Instructor Ruby was exactly what we needed to recharge our batteries and break away from our busy lives. With his vast experience and sailing knowledge, we were in great hands for the week of hopping from port to port with Captain Elias. He took us to secluded swimming spots after our morning yoga and told us stories while sailing and at night during dinner. A gentle, kind-hearted man who goes out of his way for his guests. Doing yoga with Ruby twice a day was a great way to start and end the day. She adjusted the sessions based on the different skill levels of the group and brought a calming energy to the trip. The sailboat was great, well-maintained, and had everything we needed to cook breakfast and lunch on board for our group. I highly recommend spending a week on Captain Elias’ boat to enjoy the sun, water, and stretching of bodies to make you realize how good life is.

  This was one of the best vacations of my life! The Saronic islands of Greece are absolutely stunning, with each day offering plenty of sun, beautiful swimming spots, charming little ports, and incredible food and drink. Starting and ending the day with yoga was the perfect way to feel refreshed throughout the entire trip. However, the absolute highlight was Elias, who was an outstanding guide—professional, caring, and truly passionate about showing us his home country. I wholeheartedly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a week of relaxation, adventure, and unforgettable memories!

  Ilyas and this experience was amazing. As a solo female traveler I was apprehensive about safety and can confirm that this was such a wonderful, safe, and fun experience. It's no frills boat living in the most beautiful places you can imagine. Yoga was great. Ilyas' connections and knowledge was so wonderful - left with many new friends and hope to be back!!

  I the best wholesome experience on board the yacht!! Feel so grateful to have met some beautiful souls. Elias the captain was very kind, concerned with safety and altered our route slightly according to the weather. We still got to see every island that we wanted to . Each island so beautiful and unique. Good vibes on board, everyone was calm and positive. The rooms do get very hot at night, you can sleep up the top of the boat or buy a mini usb fan!!

  I had such a wonderful week on this yoga sailing tour. We got to explore a new island each day, each one so so beautiful!! We had yoga in the morning and evening each day, in beautiful locations. Amongst the yoga and sailing we also had time to laze by the beach, explore the towns and while away the hours in a little taverna with tasty Greek quinine. I learnt so many new things from our lovely yoga teacher Lucy! She had so much knowledge to share. The captain Elias was really great too! He really looked out for us. The group became a little family for the week! The time flew by too quickly! I highly recommend this little paradise for a week!

  Captain Elias is trustworthy, experienced Captain. It was windy so he changed islands to less windy area for safety and the experience - we sailed the Saronic Islands. Beautiful islands, marinas, restaurants and swimming areas. I would sign up again with Captain Elias. Boat is in excellent condition.
