Overall rating

4.6
(68 reviews)

It was wonderful! The captain and Stella were amazing. They explained everything, we went wherever they promised and the food, drinks on board and in the tavern was excellent. Whatever you wanted you could have it. You enjoy the trip like you are on a private tour. You have plenty of space on the boat and you can relax, even if there were more people also. (We were 13). Extra + is that they were very careful also with our little daughter Lara. I will definitely go back because this trip is worth 10 star!!! Can’t wait to see you next year. Love to all the crew!!

This was the best part of my stay in Skiathos. This was incredible beyond words. Everything was perfect. Everyone was so kind and welcoming the views were breathtaking. Everything was incredible
