About Sail In Greece

Beautiful holiday. TOP crew: Kosta, Tyson, Haissan and Mohammed make you feel pampered, served and revered. Our guide Alexandros made us experience Greece like locals, great! The only negative flaw is the heat in the cabin (Hemeria ship), in August the air conditioning is mandatory, but it doesn't work very well and sometimes it is really difficult to sleep.

RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!! I cannot stress this enough—our experience with Sail in Greece was an utter disaster. We booked the Aphrodite gulet a full year in advance, planning a special vacation for 14 people, including four small children. We arrived in Greece bursting with excitement, only to be told the day before our departure that the ship was "broken" and unavailable. What followed was a living nightmare. We were abandoned in a hotel in Athens for the entire week, with no answers, just endless, shady excuses. First, they claimed the ship was broken, then they shifted to saying it was missing papers that needed government approval, and the lies kept coming. After digging on our own, we discovered the ship had failed a security check because it lacked essential safety elements and reeked. Our kids were heartbroken, and the entire group felt utterly scammed and powerless. Sail in Greece obliterated our vacation and proved themselves to be completely unprofessional and deceitful. Aphrodite may be the goddess of love, but this experience was more like a visit from Hades himself. Do yourself a favor—avoid them at all costs. Seek a reliable and trustworthy sailing company elsewhere in Greece.

Avoid this company at any price.I am writing on behalf of 20 passengers who sailed aboard the vessel EROS, under the command of Captain Georgios Paraskevas, during our trip in Greece from August 10-17, which commenced in Corfu. Unfortunately, our experience was marred by several significant technical difficulties that severely impacted our journey. Firstly, we encountered a malfunction with the anchor system, along with an issue beneath the vessel that led to an entire day being lost while waiting for a spare part to be replaced. Additionally, there was a persistent and strong smell of gasoline in the rooms throughout the trip, which we found to be extremely dangerous and unsettling. This issue greatly affected the comfort and safety of the passengers. The cooling system also failed to function, forcing many passengers to sleep on the deck in discomfort. Furthermore, it became apparent that the captain lacked the necessary skills to operate the vessel effectively, as it was primarily managed by the Egyptian crew, who appeared to be guiding the captain in performing essential tasks. This was both obvious and quite alarming to all on board. Additionally, several other issues arose during the trip that were not mentioned in our initial email. These include: Persistent and significant flooding of the bathroom floors and leakage of the sewage water making the bathroom usage difficult, exposing us to potential waterborne diseases and extremely unpleasant smell in the cabins and throughout the hallway. A near collision with another sailing boat Collisions with boat during passenger transfers to the beach ( AntiPaxos) An incident at Lefkada beach, where a lifeguard called the police to protest our boat’s disembarkation (Lefkada) Frequent turn offs of the air conditioning along with gas infused fumes and extremely unpleasant sewage smells were forcing passengers to sleep on the deck outside. Even the ships that were docked alongside our ship were complaining about our exhaust fumes (Nidri). In summary, we are relieved that the trip concluded without any serious incidents, but we remain concerned about the overall safety and operation of the vessel. Management of the company is refusing to offer any compensation !

Avoid Sail in Greece at all costs! Our family booked the Aphrodite gulet a year in advance, only to be told the day before that the ship was "broken" and unavailable. We were stuck in a hotel in Athens for a week, fed endless excuses. We later found out the ship failed a security check for missing safety features and was unsafe. Our kids were devastated, and our vacation was ruined. To make matters worse, they blocked our comments from several websites to hide the truth. This company is completely untrustworthy—look elsewhere!

MAJOR SCAMMERS Our experience with Sail in Greece was nothing short of a disaster. We booked a boat with them a year in advance, planning a special trip for 14 people, including four young children. We arrived in Greece full of excitement, only to be told the day before our departure that the ship was "broken" and unavailable. What followed was a week of frustration, anger, and heartbreak. Instead of sailing through the beautiful Greek islands, we were stuck in a simple hotel in Athens, with no activities planned and no answers from the company. The kids were devastated, crying, and asking why their dream vacation was ruined. The excuses we received were shady and inconsistent, and we never got a clear explanation of what actually happened to the boat. It felt like a cruel scam, where our money and hopes were taken without any regard for the impact on our lives. Sail in Greece is not a company you can trust. They ruined our vacation, left us stranded, and showed a complete lack of professionalism or compassion. Spare yourself the stress, disappointment, and heartbreak – choose a more reliable and honest company for your sailing adventure in Greece.
