From Athens to Aegina,Hydra,Spetses,Poros,sea and history,a luxourious boat with skipper and hostess

A SPECIAL and UNFORGETTABLE holiday! Since we put our feet on the boat we immediately felt pampered and comfortable as well as in safe hands. Luciana, an exceptional cook who made us taste the typical dishes of the place; Renato, a skipper of the highest experience, took us to visit the most beautiful places and coves of Cilento. Special thanks to Luciana for organizing Marco's surprise birthday. ... to conclude and thus make this holiday even more unique, we had a close encounter with dolphins. Wonderful and unforgettable holiday. Thank you very much Luciana and Renato ??

Unforgettable holiday among the most beautiful places of the southern Tyrrhenian Sea: Amalfi Coast, Cilento and Aeolian Islands. The boat is very comfortable and welcoming, equipped with every comfort and able to offer all the safety necessary for navigation in every wind. Renato, skipper of great experience, always chooses the best of every anchorage in the bay or port to allow you to swim alternating visits on land. Unforgettable in our route the view of Stromboli in night navigation. Luciana is an exceptional cook who made us discover the delight of a plate of freshly caught shrimp or tuna.

It had been a long time since I felt so good on the boat: everything was great! From the pampering of breakfast to dinners in the typical places of the region carefully selected. The nature of Cilento, the turquoise bays, sailing with the safety of Renato at the helm. Not to mention the first fruits cooked by Lulù: an explosion of pleasure. Spectacular travel companions: difficult to part with all this! Thank you all.

A sailing experience in the small cyclades that will remain a good memory because of the discovery of these beautiful islands. The experience on board was mixed: too many rules and little sharing. On a boat, life is codified but at this point, we had not considered it. Meals are tasty

Magnificent cruise on a beautiful sailboat Renato is a very professional skipper, we always felt safe. and Luciana prepared us very good meals The sailing times were a little long, between 4 and 6 hours a day, we would have liked to know before, even if we understand that the weather creates hazards ... Fewer anchorages than expected, and a lack of information and sharing on the progress of the program. Too bad Renato's impulsive character spoiled the beginning of the trip, he could be more pedagogical and tolerant and avoid treating his guests like children! We were respectful but the rules on a boat do not become reflexes overnight, a small reminder rather than a reprimand would have been better!

Lulu' and Renato a combination of professionalism and sympathy! With theirs we sailed discovering the islands of the Dodecanese. A beautiful holiday in the name of carefree and excellent cuisine. On their beautiful and comfortable boat, in the company of the best sailing companions... who have become friends, we have filled our eyes with the blue of the sea and the sky. A holiday that we will carry in our hearts.

Fantastic holiday thanks to the ability and professionalism of the skipper and the organization of the hostes on board. Giuliano is a commander of a super proven experience that allowed us to sail safely while having fun. Lullu' was wonderful in delighting us with appetizing breakfasts and lunches ensuring an impeccable service of the first category establishing an atmosphere of joy and sympathy in the group. In short.... what to say... we got off the boat with the desire to go back.

Renato great experienced skipper and great gentleman who gives you maximum security, Luciana an exceptional "hostess"! Hearty breakfasts and lunches to nourish the palate but also the eyes ... Experts not only of the sea but also of all the islands visited with lots of historical information, on local customs and traditions. Beautiful sea, islands full of enchanting and isolated bays, villages to explore. An unforgettable holiday. I am counting soon to be able to travel to other seas with you. A warm greeting from me and Ale

Nothing short of fabulous! An sailing experience matched beyond expectation. No day similar to another - the villages and bays anchored at were completely opposite of another, with no chance of boredom setting in or of what to expect next. Skipper Renato is a strong and firm leader; his love of sailing evident as a look of contentment reflects on his face the moment he moves in behind the wheel; also offering the crew the opportunity to sail ... an experience to behold. Lulu's elegance and beautiful nature shines through in how she prepares meals, gently edges guests to the breakfast table with soft, exquisitely tasteful music - setting the mood for the day; lunches in the most secluded and romantic bays with a carefully prepared cuisine that leads one to overeat, every time! Queen II is a beauty! Lovingly looked after by her owners - evident in their rules and expectation when boarding. A holiday of a lifetime! Thank you Renato and Luciano for unforgettable memories!

The experience on board was nothing short of fabulous, no doubt I would do it again next year and 1000 times again! Every moment deserves a story: a holiday like this you have to try it! Everything was perfect: from Luciana's superb breakfasts (lovely!), to mornings sailing with sun and wind in her face, to swimming in bays with crystal clear water, to visits to islets with breathtaking sunsets, up to nights at anchor. Renato is a very skilled skipper, able to manage the boat in all conditions and with him you feel safe all the time! The QueenII is also a boat equipped with every luxury, and you never feel tight! What can I say: with Luciana and Renato you are not wrong: they are a fabulous couple and they made us have fun, dream and discover fantastic places. We came home relaxed, tanned, and with lots of wonderful memories. Luciana and Renato: I tell you, we'll see you next summer =) a hug also to our super adventure companions!

Unique emotions! The boat is extraordinary, elegant, spacious, equipped with every comfort and lovingly cared for in every detail. Renato and Luciana are 1couple out of the ordinary, the passion and love for what they do is clearly visible in every aspect .. nothing is left to chance.. the musical bngiorno to announce the rich breakfast, the perfect preparation of the cabins, the best walkable routes carefully chosen by Renato x 1 pleasant navigation to discover beautiful bays alone for 1 dip in crystal clear waters, the delicious lunches of Luciana.X all week their kindness, availability and sympathy have accomp us in 1 splendid trip capable of giving pure emotions: the feeling of 1 freedom so deep that only the sail can give, the wind on the skin, sunrises and sunsets to take your breath away, starry skies in which to get lost and 1 deep sense of peace. 1 special thanks to Alex, Ele, Max and Nigel. THANKS to our Captain and Luciana, you are EXCEPTIONAL!??????

Majestic boat, in a beautiful sea. Luciana special person and careful to satisfy your every esigenza.se you had to give a vote to the holiday, mine would be a 9 for everything and a 2 for the skipper, who for the whole week gave commands as if we were in the military. Arrogant and rude person, intolerant to others, and control freak. The reason is always his, do not allow yourself to ask questions, he would answer you not to ask them, that we do not understand anything about the sea. He has little understanding that we are not his guests,but paying customers. In short, I got off one evening earlier than expected, from the boat, by choice, we felt light and free. Would I do it again? With another boat definitely. SKIPPER'S ANSWER Dear Mrs. Vissia, We thank you for the vote given to the holiday that rewards us for our work. As for the one given to the skipper we would like to kindly point out that part of the merit of the success must also go to those who led her to see wonderful and unknown places, to swim in crystal clear waters, away from the crowd of boats and made her try all the gaits of sailing, from navigation with gennaker to upwind with rough sea and 30 knots of wind. I think he can't deny that I have thanked the skipper several times for these emotions and for having always unfurled the sails, while he could have kept you in port, justified by the weather forecast. Having made you sail in complete safety, without the slightest inconvenience, having made you always sleep peacefully, allowing you to go ashore comfortably without problems seem trivial things, but for those who have already tried other boat experiences they are not obvious things (and your boatmates with some experience behind them have repeatedly confirmed it). If you then consider the behavior of your captain too authoritarian, I remind you that you do it for the safety of all and because on the boat there are rules of behavior and maritime education that may seem excessive but are dictated by forty years of experience of navigation and charter. As a deep-sea sailing instructor for thirty years I have taught hundreds of people to sail and giving explanations on how to go sailing for me has always been a pleasure, but it sometimes happens that those who have never been on the boat ask inappropriate questions at wrong times (and the classic is, because we put ourselves here instead of there, during difficult moorings) and that an inappropriate response escapes, but without offensive intentions. Maybe the next experiences will allow her to make comparisons and make judgments in a less impulsive way and to realize that in the boat as everywhere there are moments to talk and moments to keep quiet and in particular during landing and take-off (to use an aeronautical term perfectly assimilable for the difficulty), the rule of the tag placed on the buses "do not talk to the driver" applies. With best regards, Renato R.

Holiday of relaxation and good food. A luxury boat, cared for in every detail with taste and order, was our 5-star hotel floating on a tour between greek islands and Turkish coast. Renato, an old sea wolf passionate about sailing, has been able to reorganize the itinerary to ensure a comfortable and safe holiday despite the adverse weather conditions. Luciana fantastic hostess looking for natural, tasty and traditional ingredients has been able to cheer up our breakfasts and our lunches. Thanks to Renato, Luciana and our nice travel companions for the beautiful holiday. Good wind to all. Matteo and Rossana.

For me and Stefano it was the second sailing holiday and the first ever in the Dodecanese archipelago. We never expected so much luxury and comfort on a 16-meter boat like the Queen 2 but above all we could never have imagined sailing in the middle of August between fabulous islands, beautiful sea and very few other boats. Renato and Luciana are truly an exceptional couple: passionate about the sea, travel and life. We were greeted with grace and courtesy and day after day we felt part of a really close-knit group. Luciana is a fundamental presence on board and not only for her incredible talent in the kitchen ... Renato is an experienced skipper, quiet and enjoyable, always available to teach navigation techniques and to take a dip together with his opsites. We returned enriched with life, beauty and friendship. Thank you! sabrina and stefano

My girlfriend and I had an unforgettable holiday. It was our first sailing experience and we didn't regret even a second! Renato and Lucina were exceptional from all points of view, from the choice of the itinerary to the boat service (Luciana in addition to assisting the skipper is also a phenomenal cook). We made several stops in different dream bays that Renato (great skipper) knew like his pockets. We spent wonderful moments between solitary bays and landscapes in the "Mediterranean" style (film). Credit for this beautiful holiday should also be attributed to the Queen II (incredible and comfortable boat) and to our fantastic adventure companions with whom we have formed a friendship that still continues on dry land ????. We recommend this holiday to all those who want freedom and know how to respect nature and others. Alberto and Hana.

I am normally against reviews,but in this case I will make an exception. Renato equal security and certainty, Luciana an exceptional hostess and a sublime cook capable of filling her dishes with love. Julius

It was the third sailing holiday. The first in Greece. The first with Renato and Luciana. Difficult to express oneself with a thousand characters only on such a memorable cruise. Trying to be of help to those who "will come after us" I would like to say that Renato's experience not only as a skipper but also and, perhaps above all, as a connoisseur of the sea and places is combined in every sense with the sweetness and style of Luciana. His love for beauty, his gourmet cuisine, The fuchsia flower of bougainvillea on the white and blue plate of breakfast, together with those angelic ways of those who want to make others feel good create a unique magic. (Elizabeth)

Sailing with Renato and Luciana was a great experience. The Queen II is a superb boat for a superior category holiday, but ready to bring out the 'sporty' soul when the wind makes itself felt. The skipper does not miss an opportunity to raise the sails and test the guests at the helm. We visited very nice places, away from the confusion. A special mention for Luciana, always smiling, from the musical good morning (what an atmosphere her breakfasts!) to the evening chat. Not forgetting the delicious lunches in the cockpit! And we will never stop thanking her for the celebration on board Bianca :) Renato is an experienced skipper, a safety at sea. But also a beautiful person, who has shown flexibility in modifying the itinerary to meet the needs of his guests. A very nice holiday also for the harmony that was immediately created with the other two couples on board. To Renato and Luciana we say: see you soon! Giuseppe and Bianca

Important: I never, ever give five stars; I'm a tough grader. :-) Renato and Luciana were absolutely lovely, and it was a fantastic way to understand what sailing the Greek Islands can be -- and what to think about for next time. Renato lives up to his resume in stability, intelligence, experience both general and also in local waters, and patience, though I can see where if people don't ask questions first, they might get "terse" answers. :-) I don't mind; he was a great guide to the boat, the waters, the weather, and the islands. Luciana is the yin to Renato's yang. Every bit as experienced in the ways of sailing, and firm when professionalism demands it; but naturally warm and expert in the kitchen for the relaxation of all. Advice: Do confirm intended route with them prior to leaving to be clear about your desires. They're flexible, but as routes can change for many reasons, do have a good, clear conversation so you know where you're going. A stupendous trip, & we'd do it again!

Getting on board this boat is not just a sailing holiday: it is a sensory experience, a journey out of time, a new way of experiencing the sea. The original route was changed at the start on the advice of the Captain and turned out to be an authentic wonder. Pampered by Luciana (starred breakfasts and lunches, every detail taken care of to perfection and with taste) and guided by the expert Renato (firm at the helm, fearless warrior with hostile boats and professors of quay :)), we immersed ourselves in the wonders of the Dodeccaneso, between hidden coves and crystal clear waters, visiting enchanted villages rich in scents, flavors, traditions to fall in love with. During the different stages, it was possible to rent the scooter and venture out to discover these small, but surprising, islands full of hidden treasures. For us it was the first time on a sailboat and we never wanted to get off the boat.
