The magic of Mike's boat will introduce you to magical places and interesting people, making you disconnect from the mainland. We ate well both on board and in some small tavernas on the seashore. Great company and Mike has always been available, with a minimum of briefing you can also learn to do some maneuvers with the sails and the rudder.

A beautiful experience that I recommend to everyone. Mike immediately proved to be a quiet captain and available to our needs or requests. Making us spend five days of relaxation and fun in the middle of the sea. I was also lucky enough to find some wonderful travel companions who allowed this experience to prove to be even more enjoyable. The boat, in addition, offers all the comforts you need to enjoy your holiday. I invite anyone who is looking for a different way to travel to jump in and try. Because you will have the opportunity to see different places, unforgettable sunsets, endless stars and a crystal clear sea. With the possibility of meeting new people. To be redone absolutely!!!

It’s now March and we had our first sailing holiday with Mike last October and not a day has gone by where we’ve not thought about our amazing adventure. Mike is a fantastic teacher, he shared his passion for sailing, made us all feel safe and took us to the most beautiful parts of the islands. We will definitely be back x

Our trip from beginning to end was "plain sailing". Communication with Mike was great and he gave me confidence to book as this was our first time with SailSquare. Mike looked after us like we were family, nothing was too much trouble. He is so relaxed and calm and took so much time to explain how to sail, he's a natural teacher! I would not hesitate to go again. Thanks Mike.

Overall a wonderful trip! Stunning scenery, a bit of history,lots of marine education,turquoise waters and amazing food with the best skipper, just fantastic! It is fair to say that Mike made it a truly unforgettable experience, he is a ultimate professional with a good sense of humor and wonderful manner and has such a greaaaat heart. He gave us the best possible sailing experience, he took us fantastic local restaurants, secured moorings in some magical bays, that we could also enjoy the peaceful nights and do some barbecue. He is highly sensitive to everyone's needs and preferences so we had amazing days with great mixture of sailing, swimming , snorkelling, standup paddling,fishing, eating, sightseeing and relaxing.Thank you Mike for those wonderful memories, see you next year :)

Can I give 10 stars? :) This sailing experience with Mike was amazing - for obvious reasons of sailing and beautiful nature, but truly we could not get a better skipper. I feel blessed to have met Mike and cannot wait for the next adventure with Mike. Not only is he a very professional and experienced skipper who I felt 100% safe with and would venture into storms with no questions asked. He is also an amazing teacher and tough me a lot about sailing during this week. I could not be happier. Furthermore, Mike is incredible at reading the situation/people and adjusting the course to accommodate. Making every single day unforgettable for everyone aboard. The laughs, scenery, sailing experiences and the bonds formed on this trip will carry me through the upcoming winter. Slowly counting down to the 2021 sailing season to start <3.

Never have I ever smiled throughout an entire holiday - Nope, can't say that anymore :) This saililng trip was one for the books. Thanks to Mike who is not only an extremely experienced sailor, natural teacher and knowledgable of the area, but he caters to the wishes/desires of the whole crew on board. He will do so by listening carefully to what people say and then adjust the plans accordingly without making a big fuss about it. Tight sailing, remote bays, BBQs on the beach, amazing restaurant tips, cliff jumping, climbing up the mast, history tours and more more more. Mike, I love you and we will see each other again ;)

This trip was one of the best experiences ever! Amazing places and nature and the best skipper you could possibly ask for. Mike is one of the most friendly and laidback person I have ever met and at the same time a very skilled and experienced sailor. During the entire trip there wasn't a single moment that made me feel uncomfortable - thanks to Mike. He has become a true friend and we will definitely be back next year!

We know already that Mike is a very friendly, open minded and helpful guy when we first reached out to him to book this trip. What we didnt expect was that this was the start of a true friendship during a incredible boat trip in spectacular nature in the are of the Ionen islands. Mike is a great teacher and he adopts always to the given conditions to give you the best possible Experience, weather its sailing, diving, cliff jumping, chilling or just the best tuna in the world!!

Mike is far and beyond a skilled sailor, he embodies true seamanship instincts. He takes you on a unique and catered trip- always listening to what everyone onboard wants to get out of the experience, he ensures that everyone's needs and wants are met while exceeding your expectations. I don't think I have ever encountered such an intuitive coach. His teaching is organic and natural, clearly explaining the what, why, and how of every sailing task while ingraining the learnings in your mind by leading you through the steps. I not only came out of this trip with more know-how of sailing than I imagined but I walked away having gained a very dear friend not only in Mike but the entire crew who embarked on this journey together as strangers and left with a very special bond. The epic, EPIC!, scenery and wonderful Greek culture is only part of the sublime take-aways you get when sailing with Mike. Here's to fair winds and following seas! And maybe some nights, three sheets to the wind ;)

We loved it this week. First of all the sailboat is modern, spacious, comfortable and functional. Then there is Mike the skipper who is exceptional: always attentive to his customers, considerate and very pedagogue. And finally, there are the Ionian Islands with their palette of colors and flavors that Mike made us discover in such a beautiful way. In short, a moment of shared pleasure out of time that allows you to escape from everyday life. We warmly recommend Mike and his boat that we are not ready to forget and hope to be part of the trip again!

review about 3 days – 2 nights lost in Paradise – ALL INCLUSIVE August 2020

10 / 10

To find the right words for this unforgettable and phenomenal sailing trip through the paradise of the ionic island is very difficult. The trip was incredible but not only because of the landscapes, also the boat was great and Mike as the skipper. He really knows what to do in every situation. He is always joking and laughing but he can switch in the right situation and then is he very focused und concentrated. Mike has also other talents..! He is a fantastic cooker and a great host. I would recommend this trip to everyone, who loves to be on a boat, swimm, stay with an amazing crew and explore the landscapes from an other side. Thank you so much for this wonderful time.

review about 3 days – 2 nights lost in Paradise – ALL INCLUSIVE August 2020

The navigation through the Ionian Islands was incredible and exciting. It cannot be described in words. ?????????? We visit the most beautiful places of Lefkada, Meganisi Island, Kastos and beaches of the peninsula. Paradisiacal corners just for us. Mike is a crack and above all a great captain. You can tell that he is passionate about it, he taught us navigation concepts, such as hoisting sails according to the wind, how to sail the waves, how to drop anchor or anchor.???? Always attentive so that we did not lack anything, and with a smile always. Thanks Mike!!! Without a doubt, you are the best!!???? Thanks also to Viviana and Luca!!, without them it would not have been the same, we had a great time!!???????? A great experience that I would repeat one and a thousand times.????????

Mike is a really good captain, he knows his boat and with Esty they make you feel extremely safe in any condition! They love what they do and you can feel their passion on board! We made any kind of activities and they are flexible to respond to all of your needs. They are always smiling and I already miss them ????.

It was the best adventure I have ever had! Not only discovering sailing, but the whole crew was fantastic! The two skippers Mike and Esti are incredible people, they learned us so much about sailing, about Greece and the Greek way to live. Not to mention how nice they were, always happy smiling people, looking to make everybody happy on board! They made us all have great holidays and I already miss my “sailing family”!!! I recommend this trip to anyone who likes to enjoy life, have fun and good food. I for sure will come back with other friends!!!
