About me

I have been sailing since I was little. I started on Hobie Cats and Laser dinghys and when I tired of being cold and wet moved up to bigger boats. We love welcoming guests to join us to share in a fabulous sailing holiday as we meaner around the islands enjoying sailing on the calm seas, swimming, sight seeing and relaxing. All usually followed by dinner in a local taverna.

What I like to do

My experience

With my wife Dorothy (know as Dr Beloved,) I owned a much treasured C & C 34 in Mandurah (south of Perth in Australia) for several years before making a life changing decision to buy a yacht in Greece. We now spend the summers living and sailing in the beautiful Greek islands on our Beneteau 473.

At the end of the season, I was once again able to enjoy a fantastic sailing trip with Phil, Petra and Marina. 6 days trough the Saronic Islands in perfect weather conditions. Phil is much more than a professional skipper. His passion and fun for sailing, his competence and seriousness are noticeable every moment. We also had al lot of fun. Phil is always in a good mood and has entertained us - the atmosphere on board was great. Anyone who wanted to take tasks could do so at any time. While sailing, I learned a lot from Phil, he also enjoys teaching us his experience. His boat is in great condition and well equipped. You feel comfortable there immediately. Phil, thanks for the wonderful week on board with you, I will never forgot. TOP marks for the Skipper (as long as he does not sing loudly ;-) I hope we can sail together again. Fair winds! and all the best for you during the winter ;-) Andreas

It was a such wonderful sail trip around Greek islands. Phil, our fabulous captain is really kindness with its guests and especially about our feelings and how we are feeling great. It was a perfect mixture between sailing and discover the islands by having dinner in different restaurants and walking in the different town. Boat is really comfortable and Phil learned us many things about sailing, ropes, wind, forecast, map, sailing instruments I was already sharing this passion but this trip with Phil confirmed my passion for sailing. I will be back on the LoFII next season. Thank you for all. Marine

The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind... If you know nothing about sailing but want to enjoy a fantastic "Le Grand Bleu" experience in the mediterranean then you have to head for Phil and his Beneteau-Clipper. Our boarding was in Lavrio Olympic Marina (close to Athens) and after a safety briefing we headed for our island hopping tour with our final destination in Milos Island. First great surprise: the Nespresso Coffee machine with Cappuccino-Milkshaker, YESsss! Phil is very keen on getting things done properly but once he's seen how you get along he will happily hand over to you and name you "skipper of the day". If you would like to do so. If not you can also grab the "Do Nothing-Option" and chill around all day long. Phil is also great in cracking jokes and telling stories. The perfect balance between relaxation and learning how to sail. We definitely recommend Phil, the London-sounding Aussie. Anne & Giacomo

We had an amazing week sailing whit Phil, as soon as we got on the boat he's been kind and accomodating with us, we didnt't know anything about sailing but he trasmitted us all his love for this exciting world. We've been lucky with the forecast and we got the chance to do evrything planned. By the end of the week we were able to do a few things to help him, thanks to his patience and constancy, and traveling around those amazing places has been even more delightful if possible. Our holiday was absolutely wonderful from the first day to the last one, we couldn't have asked for more. Phil is not only a super professional skipper, reliable and competent, but also a very special men, easy going ,kind and always ready to help. We would surely go back sailing with him.
