Cyclades cabin cruise on a sailing boat from Paros

This active cruise was a great way to combine business with pleasure: discovering all the maneuvers required on a cruising sailboat, our skipper Raphaël was very pedagogical and patient, entrusting us with different positions on board while giving us a sense of responsibility! The Cyclades are a magical place to sail: wind, sun, warm turquoise seas for swimming (even in October), charming harbors, beaches accessible only by boat, incredible tavernas for dinner, a BBQ evening on a deserted beach... A Gib Sea 126 perfect for learning, but could do with a refit for greater comfort 😉 In short, this cruise was fabulous!

A big thank you to Raphaël and Etienne (skipper of the sailboat with which we shared the itinerary), who also gave me great advice and validated levels on my FFV logbook 😉 They are great sailing enthusiasts and love to pass on their knowledge They are "peerless" organizers

Very nice experience. small downside: we would have liked less sailing and more enjoyment of the places where we were anchored

Very well organized, serious site

Very good experience. We enjoyed perfect conditions for a week's sailing (wind, a good atmosphere and a skipper who listened to us).

Our skipper Cesar listened to all the participants. His skills, experience and interpersonal skills made this week unforgettable, and enabled us to take part in the sailing without constraint. Thank you Cesar, and we look forward to seeing you again, depending on the winds.

Sailing and swimming every day. Discovery of an island every day. Picnic organized between the 3 sailboats at the beginning of the stay to get to know each other

Perfect! lots of surprises, great discoveries, very well supervised, very well organized, would do it again. It's the best way to discover the Greek islands!

César is "just right", attentive, reassuring, full of humor and calm: I'm not very reassured on a boat when it's leaning...I was able to do it with pleasure!

Everything is perfect, the organization, the skipper (Etienne) and the landscapes. Each day you will have the opportunity to sail, visit the interior of an island and swim. It is royal. If you want to learn to sail, you will have the opportunity to have a good instructor.

Top-notch organizer, who perfectly masters the boat and the navigation site.

A magical week! On board the sailboat for a timeless cruise in the small Cyclades for a week we sailed from island to island. Our skipper César, who always has a smile on his face, proposed us an itinerary that coincided with our desires and especially with the weather. He also gave us a lot of addresses and advices during our visits. A real guide! We helped with the maneuvers and the navigation. Perfect for those who want to learn to sail in a magical setting. A unique experience that deserves to be lived.

We had a great time. Perhaps departures from Paros would be appreciated, given its central and less eccentric position compared to Santorini. All in all, thanks to Cesar who made us live a great time and shared his passion with us. I would highly recommend

A dream vacation, great atmosphere in the group, César our skipper was very nice. He was very helpful and made us actively take part in the steering, the sails and the maneuvers. César knows sailing like the back of his hand. He knows how to adapt to his group so that everyone is satisfied in the destinations and activities on the islands as well as in the practice of sailing. Life on board is friendly, comfort is something to be avoided for a week, but already forgotten by the beautiful landscapes we travelled through. BRAVO! These are our best vacation memories!

Reactive organization despite changing weather conditions 👍

Amorgos, the small traditional village, paradise, we can see the scenes of the movie the big blue (that we watched on the boat all together) The beautiful coves of Ios, Iraklia ... To make a crumble in full sea. The most exceptional being the human adventure ❤️

Very good, we were also guided during the different stops on the islands. Very nice visit, comfortable boat

Experienced and helpful skipper, able to coordinate life on board and during stops

We learned a lot about navigation, knots, etc. We were able to steer, change tack and do a lot of other maneuvers. We were able to steer, change tack and do many other manoeuvres. Our crew was at the top it must be said ;) With two Frenchmen and a Swiss, great atmosphere. The first two days of sailing were rather "long" (+- 6h). The first one was in rough seas, the second in calm seas. Afterwards, we sailed between the islands and discovered cute villages and shared good moments with the crew. Sometimes we ate on board, but most of the time in taverns. Our skipper was Raphaël, Denis' son. Young, dynamic and open-minded. He was very keen to explain to us every day a bit of "theory" so that we could understand the logic of the wind, the sea, the manoeuvres... Very educational ;) The only little hitch: we were at the end of the season and so some damage appeared on the boats (anchor motor broken down, dinghy deflated...). In the end everything went well for us. The shower/toilet too: strong smells emanated in our cabin and they were not practical so we always took our showers on the deck or in a port. That said, the owners have plans to modernize the boats. We hadn't read the manual carefully enough so we were a bit surprised at all the manoeuvres that had to be done on the boat. So I would say that this trip is not for everyone (active people, in good health...), but it was an exceptional memory for our honeymoon! So THANK YOU!

Family team. We were however very happy to have Raphael who knew the area well, had stories to tell about each island. We would have been disappointed to have someone else who didn't know the islands as well.

We were 6 guests on board and together with Yann, as the best skipper you can imagine, we had a marvelous unforgettable time in such a beautiful corner of the world !

Skippair.com was quite easy to book and finalise details with even if my booking was done shortly before departure, and I was very happy that I could be dropped off one day before the end of the cruise since I had a plane to catch.

It is hard to pick the best memory out of so many during the cruise...on board, in the water and on the beautiful Greek islands. One which will always remain is the bbq on the island at the end of the week where we were all alone, a part from some animals. The atmosphere was just perfect and we all enjoyed it fully! Warm thanks to you again dear Yann and hopefully till soon :)

A big thank you to Fleur and Flavien for this wonderful week from Santorini. They made us discover islands, harbours, lovely anchorages; restaurants and taverns that the average tourist would have had trouble finding.

Flavien is keen to help us discover sailing without stress, with a constant concern for our safety, without imposing anything on us; we take part in the manoeuvres, at the helm, and in life on board; Fleur listens to our needs and expectations and has prepared delicious little dishes for us. Great atmosphere on board with the dream team and the Kid. We even danced on board one evening to Dalida, but the Ouzo had had its effect......... We keep in touch for a next time on other seas.

Super cruise with Denis in the Cyclades islands. Denis was able to adapt the sailing plan to the weather conditions to combine the pleasures of swimming, the discovery of the islands, and sailing. Thanks to his perfect knowledge of the region, Denis was able to make us discover preserved sites far from the tourist affluence and excellent taverns.

Very good organization of our trip in spite of our last minute reservation. Moreover Denis was very flexible to pick us up at the ferry and drop us off on the way back.

I'm here on the deck of the sailboat at first I'm afraid because the sea is an element that I can't control very well..... and I think to myself "what are you doing here..." but all this went by very quickly...... I had an extraordinary unforgettable experience I don't know today how to say the words that I should just "TO READ VERY QUICK"

It's very well organized, no missteps

How could I forget when I'm on deck at 3:00 in the morning that starry vault so beautiful that it touched my heartHow could I forget that's wonderful sunsetHow could I forget that wonderful moonriseHow could I forget that infinite expanse that rocked me.....

An unforgettable experience! Great concept: good balance between learning to sail and discovering the Cyclades, we move quietly from one island to another to go to places that few tourists can discover in a week... It's cool! That's really cool!

Our skipper was Denis. He knows the Cyclades like the back of his hand, he adapts the sailing to the crew and the weather so that everyone can enjoy themselves, he made us discover magnificent places and culinary specialities of the Cyclades, a very good captain!

Sunset accompanied by a glass or glasses of white wine at Domaine Manalis on Sikinos Island.

An unforgettable cruise full of serenity, discovery, surprises and sharing. A skipper who is very involved and passionate about his work.

The organizer is very professional and all the information we need before the cruise is communicated to us very precisely.

A pleasant week with a variety of activities.

The profile of some people on the sailboat did not match an active sail profile (non-swimmer, little assistance with manoeuvring).

A very pleasant week with superb stops and evenings in delicious taverns. We would have appreciated a little more sailing.

Dénis adapted the program by taking into account the desires and aptitudes of each participant. He handled the times we were ashore very well and offered some very interesting visits. Very educational and a fine connoisseur of Greece.

A magical evening in the cellar on Sikinos Island

A loose organization, choices of destination linked to the weather and desires, for us with a little experience at sea and in need of rest, this stay was adapted. We had a passionate fisherman friend, it was perfect for trolling, good quiet places also conducive to swimming, simple meals on board and to our taste, at the end of April we had a calm sea with not too much wind (for sailing enthusiasts, it might seem too calm), a very beautiful light with beautiful sunsets. Good atmosphere!

Very nice, Yann directed us to quiet places - small coves, and through the most suitable passages - this is obviously the most important part of the formula: having someone who has tested several places, restaurants... and who proposes the most suitable formula. For our small group of 5 travellers, he understood us well, he directed us towards various points: the curiosities of the small towns, very good restaurants and even top restaurants (you have to say the Greeks are very pleasant - you can quickly feel the kindness), beautiful spots in the south, beautiful rocks and a plane wreck ( I dive with gopro)I think the best thing is that he is attentive to our expectations, do not hesitate to express them. Yann conveys a taste for the local Greek life made of tranquility, far from our stressed and always unsatisfied working lives. On board, yes: a good atmosphere..

Not bad the paddle, a first try for me (still missing the little horn for stability), the passage in the cave on Koufinissia Island... Good moments around the fire in the creek, far from the world, Alexandra's demonstrations with her illuminated balls.

Despite a start with a "steady" wind, our skipper decided to leave! and he did well! We followed his advice and set sail with two reefs and a genoa furled at 1/2, it was perfect! the sail surface matched perfectly and the crew felt perfectly safe, despite our couple of Friends who had never sailed a sailboat for more than an hour! Denis is a very experienced skipper with good advice on the general organisation on board! the destinations were correctly chosen and adapted to the crew as the stages progressed and the taverns filled us with discoveries thanks to Denis' insight and his knowledge of the locals who often became his friends!

Denis is a true sailing professional and has given us the benefit of his knowledge by giving us tasks on his boat, while guiding and explaining the manoeuvres to be carried out! the boat is perfectly balanced when Denis decides and adapts the sail to the course of the day! discreet, efficient, friendly, friendly, with a touch of humour that makes the crew want to relax; this is what we hoped in this cruise, too short, because there are so many beautiful islands to visit!

We would have liked to dance aboard the sailboat when Denis sent us the music that makes us feel good and makes us want to! so Denis, it's promised! one or two more meters on the next sailboat and we dance the sirtaki!!!

SUPER CRUISE IN THE CYCLADES AND STOPS CHOSEN BY OUR SKYPPER YANNVIE ON BOARD GENIAL FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT BOTHER WITH A 5 * !!FOR MY PART IT WAS PERFECT ATMOSPHERE SUPER, FRIENDLINESS WELL BUT IT DEPENDS OF COURSE ON THE PASSENGERS A LITTLE BIT TOO BAD THAT THE SKIPPER AND ANOTHER CUSTOMER WHO KNEW EACH OTHER TOO WELL AND HAD A LITTLE INGNORE THE OTHERSFOR MY PART IT IS AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE, LIKE THE TOUR OF THE MONT BLANC IN ANOTHER DOMAIN

A superb adventure in the Cyclades, I am delighted whether it is sailing with a very good wind all along the cruise, stopping in the different islands or in the edge of an idyllic beach or at the port to make visits to the villages above, or even the small taverns where we could taste the local specialities. The program was rich and intense. You can't ask for more, simply unforgettable holidays.

Yann was our skipper during this cruise in the Cyclades and perfectly punctuated the programme with navigation, visits, snorkelling and relaxation. He knows how to listen to the crew members and how to involve everyone in the manoeuvres. Whether you are a novice or an expert in navigation, everyone has a place in it and it was a real pleasure to sail with you.

During the cruise we had the chance to have a barbecue on the beach on the island of Ios and admire the stars at nightfall, it was fantastic and simply exceptional. We had a great time! Every day is different and brings its share of unforgettable memories, the stops, the beauty of the navigation, the setting suns but also the sharing with the other crew members, it was great!

A wonderful cruise, Greece is really a wonderful country, especially by boat. Each stopover was unique and exotic. Denis' experience and his connections on each island have allowed us to discover fabulous landscapes, meet adorable people and enjoy delicious dishes in the taverns! The organisation on board was excellent, everyone found their place quickly and our Skipper was able to make us participate and enjoy life on a sailboat!

Denis is a skipper of great experience, generous and kind. He was able to share his knowledge with us and develop our knowledge and reflexes during the sailings and once we were alongside, we took full advantage of each island thanks to him! A big thank you Mr. Skipper!)

A perfect balance between sailing, relaxing and discovering the islands with their deserted coves and typical villages. The Skipper adapted the circuit to the wind conditions by proposing a new course that delighted the crew. Everyone quickly found their place on board and the organization ran smoothly. Everyone was able to contribute to the smooth running of the boat according to their skills and desires.

Yann is impressively competent, his mastery of the boat is perfect. He quickly set up a friendly atmosphere on board and managed the logistics with great skill. He gave us the benefit of his exceptional knowledge of the islands (visits, good addresses...)

The "barbecue" evening on the beach of this desert island was a delight! The head in the stars around an improvised wood fire, it was beautiful!

Very good organization of the stopovers: discovery of the taverns in new and typical villages, anchorages on magnificent beaches / almost deserted coves still make us dream

Flavien will remain our favorite "rasta man" to listen to our desires.

We spent a week in the cyclades. Initially we were supposed to stay in the southern cyclades but finally the skipper and the participants all agreed to change the route and we went back up from Santorini to Tinos. Every day 4 to 5 hours of sailing then stay on a different island, at anchor or in the port. Excellent atmosphere on board with the other crew members and the skipper. Everyone found their place and the exchanges were very interesting.

The quality of the cruise was largely linked to the experience, temperament and qualities of Yann, the skipper. Always attentive and attentive to each other, calm and reassuring, Yann has great qualities as an animator, a great culture including mythology and Greek history

We anchored in Poliegos, a deserted island but had the chance to meet Petros, the only "inhabitant", goat farmer. Yann, the skipper speaks Greek, which allowed him to spend an evening discussing breeding, cheese making and sharing a warm meal. Unlikely and unusual encounter during a cruise....
