Beautiful holiday! Very heterogeneous crew but I had a great time. Francesco is an excellent commander, knows the area perfectly and is very confident. We were in very good hands

It was my first experience on a sailing boat and I think I was very lucky to find Francesco as my first skipper. Francesco is a very competent professional who, while enforcing the basic rules for a correct coexistence, leaves the crew free to organize. Good wind!

All very nice. A fantastic sea, crystal clear waters and fantastic places. Francesco thanks to his experience has been able to lead us to enchanting beaches such as One House Bay and Filiatro in Ithaca. We went sailing, thanks also to the favorable weather and the skipper involved us in the maneuvers, making us enjoy an authentic sailing experience.

Francesco is a very experienced skipper, he knows perfectly the islands included in his itinerary and took us to crazy coves (my favorite was one house bay)! We sailed almost always and he was able to involve us in the maneuvers. It was, definitely, a great experience! Advised!

We are three friends on our fifth sailing holiday.. Francesco is an experienced skipper and attentive to the needs of the crew with whom he shared his technical knowledge involving us in sailing maneuvers. Being a great connoisseur of the places he took us to enchanting bays and unknown to most, sailing every day except one due to adverse weather conditions that he managed to master with great skill. There was no lack of good music and many moments of conviviality and joy. Super recommended

Sailing with Francesco is like being at the home of a trusted friend. He is very competent and knows the islands and how to move according to the weather. He and his boat are welcoming and willing to live the holiday as everyone wishes. Certainly little sailing even given the inexperience of the crew. He is attentive to the needs of each crew member and always manages to surprise with booking in a tavern unknown to most!! The Ionic are FABULOUS!! Thanks Francesco

It was the 12th sailing trip and from the reviews I expected to have a different experience as it happened to me many times. It was the 4th in the Ionian Islands, but this was the one in which we sailed less and always by motor, with an excessive cost of fuel and not verified. Although we requested it as planned by the program, Kefalonia skipped which is nearby, by decision of the skipper, even if the weather was good. The places are always uncrowded and very beautiful from a naturalistic point of view. Adapting to the confined spaces of a sailboat and then sailing only 2 hours in 6 days makes no sense. Unwrapped linen... Some discomfort. From the skipper I did not perceive a great hospitality, but little passion for this work and for the typical role of glue of the crew. Decisions were not shared, but communicated at short notice. No maps with itineraries and few explanations, only one mooring in port, always sparse. But the company was great!

For: Great connoisseur of every corner of the coast and its most hidden cafes; Comfortable and clean boat; Great skipper, a safety; Excellent pre-boarding and disembarking location, CLEAN and with very kind staff; Against: Not inclined to meet the needs of the crew; Manages movements without interacting and, often, according to their personal interests; Some distractions (lack of reserve gas cylinder);

I chose this tour because of the feedbacks of crew members before: sailing should be the main target of the skipper beside bathing, snorkeling, great landscape and clear water, nice Tavernas. Second part was given, however sailing part was clearly underrepresented. Although wind conditions to sail were not perfect, skipper often used engine to come to the next destination, even when wind was existing. Only once we did a sailing of 1-2 hours. Organizational part is improveable: sailsquare provides a nice Homepage and booking, but all other parts of communication are in the hands of the skipper. A nice "overview" would help a lot: how to come to Nydris, where is the port, etc. It was not clear for me from the beginning, that this tour starts and ends in Nydris and not in Lefkada Town (both on Lefkada Island) this should be communicated clearer, also on the homepage.

We saw beautiful places but not all those expected .. almost always motor navigation, almost never sailing. This affected fuel costs, which were high and undocumented. Another technical problem: exhausted the gas for the kitchen. Not resolved with due timeliness. I'm certainly not an expert in sailing but I had the impression that sailing by motor is more comfortable for those who manage the boat.------------------------RESPONSE OF THE SKIPPER------------------------------------------Marco you should have told me something more about you ... I would be free to refuse your reservation, let's talk that I had to invite you several times to make the bed after two days sleeping on the mattress? Let's talk about what happened when you ate and you had to wash everything? Or chocolate on mats? Or the bathroom that wasn't drained? Last gem clog the collection box of the bathroom, forget it, at least the boats. I absolutely do not recommend boarding

I state that for us it was the 10th time on a sailing boat (the third with Sailsquare). We booked this trip based on the reviews read. Alas, we were disappointed. Meanwhile because, despite the presence of the wind, we sailed only one day for a few hours and then always by motor. It was expected to arrive in Kefalonia but, despite being very close and despite our insistence, it did not satisfy us. Decisions on itineraries, times and various choices were not shared with us. Finally on the third day the gas of the kitchen ran out and having no neighboring country where to buy the cylinder we were without the use of the kitchen for 2 days, I conclude then complaining about the poor organization and the lack of attention to us guests.

Me and my partner spent one week with Francesco on his boat. It was our first time in a sail boat for a week and we only have good words for Francesco, for the boat and for the experience itself. Francesco knows everyplace in the islands and we went to a lot of amazing locations. He is an excelent captain and make our trip really safe. We make stops in a beautiful towns and he also recommend us the best tavernas to eat or to have dinner, and all of them were excellent. He also taugth us to sail and everything about the nature, the sea... We recommend this experience on a 100%, it was awesome! Thank you for everything!

We spent a wonderful week on board with Francesco. The skipper is super experienced, lover of the sea and nature, always available and discreet. He will leave you your spaces, will advise you and will be an excellent chat companion with many details and curiosities about the places you will visit and the surroundings of these wonderful places.

What can I say! Simply SUPER! Francesco is not only an excellent skipper, but he is also a deep connoisseur of the islands and all the most beautiful and fascinating corners that he loves to share with great generosity! If you add that on the boat there is a stereo system to envy and that its playlist can satisfy even the most demanding music connoisseur and accompany the various moments of the day, the cocktail is perfect for an unforgettable holiday! In addition, something not frequent in the many past cruises, you go SAILING whenever there is wind!!!! And then with a proverbial calm, if you want, he makes you participate in the maneuvers and teaches you to sail! Thank you again very much Captain Francesco!!! Loredana and Farida

Francesco made us spend a holiday of relaxation and nature, choosing beautiful places and off the tourist circuits. It also has a beautiful boat, equipped with everything and with a stereo system of the highest level! It has a playlist that has made us excited at many times of the day and evening. He is also a person always available to please his guests and above all he is a really experienced skipper and always very relaxed. I recommend this holiday to everyone! Thanks Francesco!
