Awedome day at the sea. - Awesome cruise and staff, a lot places to see, a cave where you can swim, good lunch on the beach (shades provided) and also a lot of interesting information about the islands. 10/10, would recommend to anyone. Every detail was considered, customer in mind and the routes between different spots were interesting as captain was a proper gentleman and kept us informed and entertained.

Ionian Star island cruise - What a great day! The captain and crew were amazing. Very helpful and knowledgeable. It was lay back and relaxed. All of the stops were beautiful and we had plenty of time to enjoy every one. The bbq lunch was lovely and there was plenty of seconds for those who wanted more. We would highly recommend!!

Captain Spyros...the best!!! - Great experience...i agree with all the positive comments that have been already written. Captain Spyros and his crew offered us a fantastic day through the papanikolis caves, scorpios island and the stop in gerakas beach where they also served us a tasty tipical greek lunch. I advice you all to try this cruise. Ευχαριστούμε πολύ Σπύρο εσένα και το πλήρωμά σου για την φιλοξενία. Alessandro και Σάρα

Island Hopping with Beach BBQ – 10/10 Experience! - Absolutely fantastic day out! The food was delicious, the service was top notch, and the tour itself was incredibly informative. Big shoutout to the entire team for making everything run so smoothly and a special mention to the Finnish Greek girl who went above and beyond to make sure everyone had the best time. She truly made the experience extra special. Couldn’t have asked for a better cruise 10/10, highly recommend it, and I’ll definitely be coming back for another round!

Outstanding! - Everything has already been said here, and I completely agree. It was a wonderful day. I would never have thought that the best meal of my holiday would be served on a beach. Outstanding! The captain and the entire crew were amazing. I highly recommend it – you mustn’t miss it! Skorpios is fascinating. P.S.: And again, happy birthday to Stella! :)

Highlight of our holiday and good value. - We all thoroughly enjoyed the trip, never sailed for longer than about 40 minutes before we stopped for swimming in a cave, visiting a village on Meganisi and then stopping in a lovely bay for swimming and a delicious bbq lunch - the kebabs were lovely and there was plenty of food. The crew were friendly and provided lots of information about the history of the islands visited and the whole trip was well organised. They had thought of everything including the sun parasols they provided for the beach when we stopped for lunch. Enjoyed watching the bar staff create mojitos and iced coffees at their tiny bar and smelling the fresh mint waft through to where we sat. Our family group ranged in ages from 23 to 58 and we all enjoyed it. We had worried it would feel a long day but in fact the day sailed by.
