Isla 40

Wonderful Trip. Stefan & Christos were great.

A small and intimate Marina. The charter company office was near the entrance and easy to find. Christos was very friendly and accommodating in fixing all the final details. The catamaran was immaculate (we were the first commercial charter) - sparkling clean, great amenities and plenty of space. We met the owner who had also left us some complimentary goodies to make us feel welcome. Our skipper, was excellent... nothing was too much trouble and he listened to us and advised on the itinerary to suit exactly what we wanted.

As we didn't know the marina and the area we paid for provisioning - it was not ideal only because the minimum quantities were high for some things so we did end up with some waste. Another time we would shop ourselves in nearby Lavrio.

We sailed to the Saronic islands via Sounion (where we stopped for the first night). We visited Spetses, Hydra, Poros, Agistri Moni and Aegina. We love Hydra (we have been before on holiday) but the marina is small and we couldn't moor there so we moored around the bay and got a water taxi. Our favourite marina was in Aegina - Spetses also very nice.

As new time charter folk (and non-sailors) It would have been good to have had an inventory of what was on the catamaran so that we knew ahead of time what to bring. For example, the cat has a Nespresso machine so we would have brought capsules with us. It was also equipped with cleaning products, cloths, pegs etc. and I had already packed our own to bring as I didn't know they would be on board.

Great experience with Globe Sailor from the start to finish. They helped us with the best itinerary and gave us some advice. always available.
Warm welcome at the marina from a good team to a great experience aboard with a high quality skipper. Highly recommend.
