Cruise in Greece

JeffOur party was looking for a partial week sail starting in Santorini and heading north. Globesailor was able to accommodate us. We rented the yacht for a full week with a skipper and the skipper delivered the yacht back to Santorini after we left the yacht. The yacht was exactly as picture and when we boarded it was spotlessly clean. We paid our final fees to the skipper and he arranged a ride for us to the grocery store so we could stock up on supplies. We returned to the yacht, put our groceries away and after a quick run through of the vessel we sailed away. Our skipper, Captain Kostas did a great job. He took us to secluded beaches as well as many of the tourist hot spots. I would highly recommend renting this yacht to any group looking for a great week.

DenisOverall - very good boat for that money. We've been there with my wife and are very happy with our vacation. There were couple of minor problems during our trip - 1. Autopilot is quite old and it did not hold direction on long run. 2. Anchor chain compartment is very shallow, so it is little bit tricky to raise the anchor chain (it piles up very quickly if ignored).

LukasBoat old but at good condition. Friendly owner of the boat. Fantastic sailing area...

DenisWe had fantastic trip in Saronic bay with my 4 friends. The boat is very comfortable, ergonomic and fast. There is a lot of space inside. Boat has both sails furling. I don't like furling main sails. But we had no choice. Furling sails are meant to be simple, But in fact you have to be very careful with them because if you are not - they jam. At some moment we have jammed our main sail and had to climb to the mast, to manually unfurl it. It happened when we tried to "take some reefs" on fresh wind, so our sail has completely stuck in a middle position. We are lucky that it happened in overall good weather near the shore, so we have found nearby calm bay to recover. You need to be very careful with furling main. It only looks easy. There was some engine oil leak, so we had to control it every day during engine checks. We have found it on day one, but personel just cleaned oil and said it is "ok". But the leak was constant and did not look nice. After all company personnel admitted this problem (gasket needed replacement) during our return to base and promised to solve it. Overall - very good condition... for Elan.
