“Yolo Cruise was so awesome and the Captain was super friendly. The places were nice and remarkable. Love all the islands Great atmosphere and very clean ocean. I could not know these wonderful islands with the help of Sail in Greece. The party was great and fun, also met different races and made some new friends. I'm pleased to recommend Sail in Greece here in New York. Be back next year, hopefully!”

“This trip left us with a sweet taste for sailing and sailing trips just thanks to the HEMERA crew members, Hussain, Alex and Abe who were the nicest people, helping us with all we could ever need while on the boat and not only. Tour guide Ben went out of his way to not only take care of all organizational details throughout the week, but he also brought a relaxed, fun and overall great vacation atmosphere among us. Exceeded my expectations because he made us feel safe, but in the same time, got to know a little bit about each one and had A LOT of fun together. Much love to the best crew, without you it wouldn’t have been the same! xo”

“In an extremely unorganised trip, mainly due to administrative and crew carelessness, guide Ben was an absolute legend and continued to bring good vibes throughout the whole trip. He tried to help out wherever he could to ensure we got the most out of it. Big ups dude, can't wait to catch up with you again. The captains of the boats argued a lot and didn't work together, which made things harder than they should have been.”

“Sail in Greece has potential to be a great trip if they provided what they said they would provide. Ive never written a review in my life, but I was strongly affected by what went on during the entire week I couldn't not advise others NOT to book this trip. Don't waste your holiday allowance or your money. It saddens me to say that never in my life have I wished for a holiday to end before now. This company takes your money and hopes you "make it your trip"..... literally you may as well do it yourself and I wish I had. I've read all the below reviews and I had pretty much the exact same shocking and disheartening experiences. So clearly these are not a few petty people with high expectations and nothing better to do with their time. Many other reviews have given you details so I just hope you listen to them. I've also read the comments in return from Sail in Greece, not taking any owenership of what has happened on any of these trips. This is a clear reflection of how they treat their customers on and off board. Management should be ashamed and should look to rectifying these mistakes before next summer, and ensure their leaders on board are trained and accountable for leading such a trip. Lastly, no one is perfect and mistakes and issues happen and especially at sea, but good planning, proper communication and great customer service can often turn these situations around and could have completely changed many peoples experiences for the better. My friend took this trip last year and had warned me it wasn't a good idea, I had already booked it and thought, I'm in Greece with sunshine and friends how bad could it be? Last words Im sorry to say I should have listened to him.”

“The best way to explore the Greek islands! We joined summer 2016 and re booked to join them on May 2017. Sail in Greece gave the most amazing experience we could have! They sail to islands we love to be and we already feel addicted to it! I'm proud to recommend them to everyone who wants to explore Greece.”

“Kostas was a legend, best tour guide ever and knowledgeable. If you are thinking to join Sail in Greece just do it! Affordable and best way to explore the Greek islands. When we arrive we checked in on our cabin and that was it. No stress again for our bags, HERA was luxury and I believe one of the best boats I have sailed with.”

“""I've been thinking about whether or not to review 'Sail in Greece' for about a month now but since being recently infected with scabies from the poor hygiene on the boat, I think it's time for a bit of a rant. I'm not one to complain and I am used to 'roughing it' and camping and backpacking, but the quality of the tour and the boats themselves was pretty bloody shit. Luckily I still had a wild time with my friends who went on the trip with me and also met some cool people. The pub crawls were heaps fun, and it obviously it was still great because we were on the Greek islands but the company has LOTS of ways they can improve. I did not expect anything spectacular because of how cheap it was, however I didn't realise it would be one star quality. Here's some advice for people who have booked the trip or thinking about going. 1. Beware, you might not get a bed or a room. I was lucky because I was warned the boats were at their full capacity before I arrived in Greece and so was prepared to go without a bed and sleep outside on the roof (which most people did anyway bc 40 degrees below deck) but some people had no idea they wouldn't actually have a room despite paying the same amount as everyone else on the boat. I also wasn't supplied with a towel or a blanket (or lifejacket) so one of the crew actually gave me his blanket which was lovely, however, looking back I shouldn't of taken it because now I have scabies. (Google it) Would recommend bringing your own pillowcase/ sheets because they are not cleaned prior or after use (think of all the sex) and also grow out your nails because scabies are itchy af. 2. Pray you don't get allocated the room next to the engine. My friend's room was right next to the engine (which also my room because I had to put all my stuff in here and shower here because I didn't get one lol) and the smell in the room was unbearable. Think of warm engine fumes mixed with shit (refer to point below) and basically you couldn't be in the room longer then about 10 minutes or you would be sick. 3. Don't expect to be able to poo on the boat because the toilets don't flush. This was a bit of an inconvenience if we were sailing or if it was night time. Whenever we would pull up everyone would run to the nearest restaurant to go to the toilets. If anyone did poo on the boat, it would come up in other people's toilets and the smell would linger around the boat all week. Also in Greece you can't flush toilet paper, which is fine if someone would come around and empty the bins, but sadly they didn't. So by the end of the week our bathroom was covered in used toilet paper because the tiny bin was full from day one. 4. Don't expect WIFI or air cons (doesn't exist). Also the company promised my friends and I a welcome package because we booked as a big group and this also didn't exist. Also still waiting for that free ouzo.. 5. Expect some rough sailing. The captains of the boat were actually arguing about whether or not it was safe to sail and then we ended up sailing anyway, which was scary but also exhilarating because we didn't end up capsizing. (We were lucky enough not to start sinking like some of the other reviewers experienced.) 6. Don't do the tours through the company-way cheaper to do it on your own. Especially the 'tour' around Santorini. Very expensive.. I think it was 25 euro.. for not much at all, just a bus ride around a bit of the island. 7. Don't pay extra for the sailing boat. Some of our friends were on the little yacht which they were told was going to be better and they had to pay more for, yet it was worse then the main ship. They were shown photos of a boat that didn't exist so it looked great, yet when they rocked up they got a worse boat than ours. They didn't get any briefing about what was going on each day and didn't get the free breakfast. 8. The leaders weren't enthused at all and didn't really know what was going on. With the exception of Z, he was great. Anyways Sail Greece, get your shit together, and the least you can do is stop the false advertising. Thanks for all the funny stories I can now entertain people with and for the itchiness, Hannah Gundry”

Hello Hannah First of all thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our company . We Apologise you had such an expperience with our cruise, and we respect your opinion . We have checked our weekly health and technical reports for our vessels and there hasn't been reported any deficiencies on our boats. Please understand that the amenities offered on board, such as wifi, a/c or toilets although they operate under excellent conditions, they are not similar to standard hotels. All linens and sheets get cleaned after every cruise. There are certain rules for toilets onboard every vessel (small , medium ) for using the toilets while on dock or at sea sailing . Thank you

“I am amazed after putting in some effort to check others reviews as to how similar people's experiences have been to mine even a year ago, clearly they don't care about their reputation and customers. Just covering the main faults that went wrong below... 1.our boats were all late and we couldn't board till 11pm. 2.we were made to carry our luggage through the streets of Fira and go on the gondola down, which we had to fork out the €6 for which was not mentioned anywhere online. So should be refunded to everyone. As we were told we had to pay this or no way to get onto the boat. 2. One group got a good boat which had everything that was advertised. the 20+on my boat how ever were stuck without proper showers, no WiFi, top Bunk beds were not sleep able due to the fact there was a beam 10cm directly above your face when lying down. 3. contenental breakfast was stale bread and jam every day. not the fruit, yoghurt, bread, cereals etc like advertised. 4.the crew members were constantly yelling and throwing chairs in angry with each other. 5. we didn't leave santorini harbour until 3pm the next day so we missed the bbq swim spot, had no food on board for lunch and we missed the optional sunset bar trip in Ios. 6.no free ouzo like advertised 7. no toga party or beer pong party organised like advertised. 8. we never docked in mykonos so to get onto land we had to wait for the guide to organise the dinghy to take us over which was unsafe as the engine would cut out and the winds were high meaning several times we got swept far from the boats and land. Our only other option was to swim across. If we went out at night we either had to drunk swim back to the boat or sleep cold on the other boats deck. 9. our last day we didn't get given any breakfast. We were all ready by 9am as told to be to depart the boat. Guide was a no show. After half an hour he turned up to say one of the smaller boats were going to come around to get us and our luggage off. After half an hour of waiting we were told that boat was refusing to so the guides solution was to ferry us and our luggage back and forward on the small broken and wet dinghy, which we refused to as it was unsafe and would have resulted in our luggage being wet. Our guide disappeared again without telling us what was going on. At this point it was getting close to needing to be at the airport for our flight. I had to ring you directly to get you to call the guide and get him to sort something. After all this we had to called a watertaxi to come and get us off the boat. 10.The guide Ben had clearly checked out of his job and had no interest in being there. He never once apologised for all the inconvenience 11.there was zero communication and organisation as to what was happening each day in terms of activities, Bbq etc”

Hello Emma We are sorry to hear that we havent fullfy your expectations in our cruise , We have checked all our reports from the week , and saw that all our boats were in great condition with no problems. We do mention in our website that none transportation is included , we sometimes dock and sometimes we need taxi boat to get in the dock. Sometimes due to weather conditions our boats depart later on so we dont occur dangerous sailing conditions. Thank you

“What went wrong? Everything. It's one thing for a boat not to travel due to weather, it's entirely unacceptable for boats not to be sea worthy. Consistantly left stranded in destinations with no knowledge of when it boats may actually be returning, or where we will actually be sleeping that night. The group was spread out over various parts of the islands. Boats had to be replaced completely, but didn't show up until the next day, accommodation for many was not to the same standard as they booked. No breakfast was provided, no WiFi, no toilets, no water, no power, no towels, no sheets. We had to resort to using marine gps services to track the position of the boat after being told its stuck due to weather, turns out it broke down and had to be rescued/held by the coast guard. We did not do any of the activities in the itinerary. There was no proper safety briefing. The whole week was a joke. Spent more time waiting for fast ferries than on our sailing cruisers. Do your selves a favour, save a bit longer and book with sail Croatia instead!”
