One week sailing around the beautiful Greek Islands

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 spent a week sailing between the Saronic Islands aboard the Leap of Faith. Phil is a very experienced, attentive captain, who likes to transmit the art of navigation, even to newbies like us. The holiday allows you to approach navigation without living an all-encompassing sailing experience. In the evening we moored in the port, and this allowed us to visit beautiful villages, small historic centers and to taste the real Greek cuisine in typical taverns. The boat is large enough to comfortably accommodate six people. The itinerary was changed during the trip due to unfavorable weather conditions (excessive wind). Nice holiday, recommended.

We had a great week. Phil was very welcoming and made us feel comfortable right away despite our shortcomings in English. Cohabitation in the boat was very easy. Phil listened to our expectations regarding the trip to be made during the week and our willingness to learn to sail. We were able to sail alone and perform maneuvers under his control, if we wanted to. Weather permitting, we would stop at a different port each day, and we could count on Phil to advise us on tours or good restaurants. In short, if you want to spend an original holiday, forget your daily life, think only of the sea and the wind (at least part of the day) and learn to sail under the good advice of a passionate and benevolent captain, go for it!

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.

Vacazion from 12/08/ to 18/08 . We were with phil for a little less than a week , we toured different islands than those that were planned, the islands were supposed to be 5 and in the end they were three and half. Poros we could not see a whole day because phil told us that inevitable we had to leave the boat at 11:00 am on 18/08 so we could not take the last swim in poros ! :( Phil tod us that the island change of plans was to weather conditions. I must say that we enjoyed the holiday on the one hand because we tried the sailing experience and how a sailboat works, we saw some beautiful island , we also met new friends ( a gretting to Simonetta and Andy for the company ) , on the other side it would have been pleasant to receive from phil a flat - rate reimbursement of the expensive incurred by passegger for having visited fewer island than the prestablished program In any case , it was a nice experience . At the next vacation :)

Nice experience, made with the right number of people, another couple that we did not know. It is the best way to see more islands in less time and in a way, perhaps, more completely. Phil was very polite and helpful. I would recommend always having a helper with you.

It was a really wonderful experience, we alternated the mornings in navigation, with phil who taught us the basics to maneuver a sailboat, to the afternoons where we disembarked in the ports to leave to discover the Cyclades. Phil was an impeccable travel companion, as well as the other 2 of our friends met in this wonderful adventure.

Phil is a helpful person and great company with the joke always ready, we had a very good time! This type of trip is an excellent solution to reach the various islands in complete relaxation without having to take ferries and stress with luggage. In addition, you learn something about sailing and you can meet some nice travel companions. We were lucky! :)
