The crew’s dedication to your comfort ensures a memorable journey, as echoed in a recent review from April 25, 2025:
Amazing day sailing the Athenian Riviera - We had an amazing day on the water with Chris and Claudia!! The boat was spectacular! Claudia prepared an awesome meal… better than restaurant quality! They both had great hospitality and our group really enjoyed the evening. It was the highlight of our trip to Athens! (Reviewed at: 2025-04-25)
