This experience, in a nutshell

For a week, we'll be sharing our chosen lifestyle of freedom, wide open spaces and fun on our yacht. We'll show you the most beautiful coves in the southern Ionian Islands. Over the course of the week, we'll start on the island of MEGANISI and make our way to ITAKA, passing through KALAMOS, KASTOS and ATOKOS. These islands exude a real sense of peace and calm, a true haven of peace! We'll be stopping off at some magnificent coves throughout the week.

We will then stop south of LEFKADA and return to Nydri at the end of our stay.

This is a very comfortable boat, with solar panels for electricity, a canoe, flippers, masks and snorkels, fishing equipment and a dinghy with an electric motor to take you ashore. We welcome you on a boat that has been travelling for 8 years for a magnificent cruise in Greece.

It is a pleasure to welcome you on this sailing yacht which is our home. We live here all year round and take great care of it. We have 3 cabins of 2 places each (the price includes the bed in double cabin, sheets and pillows). The rental is for MINIMUM 2 PEOPLE if you are alone you will have to privatize the cabin by paying a supplement because they are double beds.

Departure is from the island of LEFKADA (Lefkada), the nearest airport is PREVEZA. We will be waiting for you at the anchorage in NYDRI, i.e. at anchor opposite the town. There is a bus from Preveza to Nydri. You can also arrive in CORFU and take a ferry or go via Athens. We will welcome you on board from 1pm and depart for the first port of call. During your stay, meals will be shared. You will have to do the shopping before you leave and the cooking and washing up will be done by turns. If you prefer to have meals included and do not want to do the shopping, you will have to pay an extra €25/person per day. If you wish to go to the marinas, this will be at your own expense.

For diesel fuel, you will be asked to pay a flat rate of €120 for the 7 days, to be divided between you. We can decide together on the different stops and activities. These itineraries may change depending on the wind and the time you want to spend on the different islands.

There's no need to fill your suitcase, most of the time we're in swimming costumes. People who have stayed on the Makeva have always been surprised at how little clothing is used. Nights are spent at anchor in magnificent coves. A sailing experience that will leave you dreaming and rejuvenated. A holiday you'll remember for the rest of your life, and one that many will want to try again.

We would like to write an amazing, 100% recomommandation review for Patrick and Sabine. It was really the best trip we've been on. They are so welcoming on board, making you feel at home right away. They not only take you to really nice places, they share their home and all the comes with it on the boat. They are considerate in your wishes, interested, caring and Sabine is and absolute amazing chef! If you want to relaxe, explore, chat with them, have a drink or just don't do anything, they really accomodate you in your wishes. All is fine, and that's what made them amazing hosts for us. We would really love to see them again and take a trip with them again!

On board [hidden], with Sabine and Patrick, we spent a beautiful week. Being able to do it from the point of view of the weather, they immediately proposed the possibility of Choose between a quieter north and a busier south. We chose the north of the Saronic islands and we loved the tour. We often have sailed, slept in beautiful roadsteads, swam among turtles, ate excellently, laughed and joked together. A perfect holiday that we recommend to everyone

Due to a last minute change of plans, we could not join this sailing trip ourselves. Instead, our close friends went, and since we fully trust their judgment, we are sharing their experience here with their words. This was, without a doubt, the worst sailing trip we have ever experienced. The couple running the boat were friendly on the surface, but they are far from professional and not suited for this kind of business. For so many reasons, we would never recommend this trip: • Food & Timing: We were charged €25 per person per day for meals, but the quality and timing were terrible. On the first day, dinner was served at 10:30 PM, even though everyone had just arrived tired from traveling with no consistency or planning. Lunches were served at completely random times, sometimes at 3 PM, sometimes at 1 PM. • Dietary Needs Ignored: No one asked about dietary restrictions or allergies in advance. When we mentioned we don’t eat pork, dinner that day turned out to be pork. Instead of preparing something else (they had all day to buy something else), the captain caught three tiny fish and said, “This is your dinner.” It was not nearly enough, so after asking, they got plain pasta with half an eggplant. We paid the same as everyone else who ate pork. • Hygiene & Water: The drinking water container had algae at the bottom. Dishes were washed with seawater, so everything tasted salty. The kitchen and utensils were far from clean, and the boat itself was messy. • Random Schedule: Everything was done according to the crew’s convenience, not the guests’. Even when we needed rest or had an early ferry, we had to wait until the couple finished eating or drinking with their friends. • Route & Stops: On 3th day, we sailed for 4.5 hours straight, passing beautiful islands full of boats, only to stop at a place with nothing and it was 7pm when we arrived so we couldn’t do anything there. The next day, we sailed 3 hours just to get back to Poros. • Docking Issues & Extra Costs: When returning to Poros, Sabine and Patrick refused to dock at the marina, even though they had picked us up from there earlier. Later they admitted they didn’t want to pay the €17 docking fee. Because of this, both us and other couple had to take separate taxis to get to town, and over the course of the trip we ended up taking three taxi rides (€25 total) just to reach town and ferries. It wasn’t the money itself but the unprofessionalism, they should have dropped guests back where they picked us up. • Alcohol & Safety Concerns: On the last night, instead of returning us to the boat early so we could pack and rest for a morning ferry, the crew spent hours drinking with their group of friends. We had to wait until midnight to return. By then, both the Sabine and Patrick and their group were heavily drunk, barely able to stand. Still, six people were taken on a zodiac back to the boat in dangerous conditions. After dropping us off, the crew went back to continue partying with their friends. At the end of the trip, when asked for feedback, we explained all of these issues. The response was, “But you never told us you don’t eat pork.” Our answer was simple: “You never asked.” On the very last day, when we were finally alone with the other couple who traveled with us, they also shared their experience. Since both they and the crew were French, they mostly spoke among themselves during the trip and everything seemed fine from the outside. But once we spoke privately, they admitted they were just as unhappy as we were nothing met their expectations and they had the same complaints. Unfortunately, because they booked this trip through a friend, they cannot leave a review here. In summary: The food, hygiene, comfort, route planning, and professionalism were all a complete failure. While the couple may seem nice, they should absolutely not be running this as a business. It felt like they were sailing for their own pleasure, while guests had paid good money to tag along as an afterthought. More than €1,000 was wasted, along with time and energy. Absolutely not recommended.
