Greek trip with ManU & Liv
We had a week long trip around Greek in September with our hosts Manu and Liv. The weather on a few days was stormy but Manu expertly navigated the week to made sure we avoided them as much as possible. Liv prepared the most delicious food for us as all our needs were catered for. Nothing was too much trouble. We would love to sail with them again and have already booked for next year, so who knows! Highly recommend YG and Manu & Liv. J Potter
Best vacation ever!
This is right up there with one of the best holidays we have ever taken! Yacht Getaways was easy to work with and very responsive to any questions we had. Our Captain, Davide, was simply wonderful, we couldn’t have asked for more. He quickly assessed our sailing skills and involved us when appropriate. He was so knowledgeable about the sailing grounds and provided lots of insight and information. All the places we went were beautiful. And our Host, Olivia, was truly amazing. She was attentive and welcoming and by day two we felt like family. And the meals! Wow, can she cook! And we are foodies with high standards so that is saying a lot. All around a great experience. We have already signed up to do it again next year!
amazing sailing trip with Yacht Getaways
Had the most amazing sailing trip in Greece (Corfou explorer) with Yacht Getaways and Angus and Olivia as our skipper and host ! Angus took the time to really share his experience and sailing knowledge with us and Liv was so attentive and an amazing cook! Felt like sailing with friends and family, highly recommend !
Another fantastic sail with YG
Just had another fantastic holiday with Yacht Getaways. Last year we sailed the Croatia coastline and had such an amazing week we booked the Corfu trip on our return. Yet again we were not disappointed. Another wonderful team looking after us. Manu and Liv made it extra special, with outstanding food and hospitality. Getting to explore the islands of Paxos and Antipaxos was lovely and we even got to do a spot of wine and olive oil tasting at Parga on the mainland. These trips take out all the hard work of organising a holiday. From the moment you arrive you are so well looked after, taken to all the best places, fed, watered and all you need to do is relax and watch the world sail by. Would highly recommend any trip with YG.
Corfu
This was our second Yacht Getaways holiday and it was excellent again. This time we sailed the Corfu area stopping off at Lakka, Parga, Antipaxos and Gaios. Skipper Manu and host Liv were excellent through the week always keeping us up to date with the activities for the day and providing great recommendations for evening meals and places to visit. Was great to see them work as a team with Manu chipping in in the galley whilst Liv rustled up some excellent local dishes. Great group on the boat as well providing plenty of laughs and competitive races on the paddle boards. Hope you all enjoyed the remainder of your holidays!
Cabin space is very limited, take minimal, you really don’t need many clothes anyway
Excellent corfu explorer with Stewart and Liv. Stewart so down to earth, fun and knowledgeable and didn’t mind helping Liv out in the kitchen ! Liv cooked up gorgeous food and was amazing with me with all my intolerances. They were a great team. Fabulous stops at Lakka, Parga, Antipaxos and Gaios. All different and stunning. Stewart and Liv treated us to an olive oil/ wine tasting, excellent and even got to sail the boat. Excellent crew, excellent guests, excellent trip.
Greece Paros Explorer
Our recent voyage was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to our exceptional skipper, Angus, & our delightful host, Lucy. From the moment we set sail, it was clear that Angus's expertise and deep knowledge of the sea were unparalleled. His impeccable navigation skills and insightful guidance ensured that every aspect of our journey was smooth and enjoyable. Angus’s passion for sailing and the Cyclades shone through, making each day an enlightening and thrilling experience. Lucy, our host, was simply fantastic. Not only was she incredibly warm and accommodating, but her culinary talents also surpassed all expectations. She masterfully catered to our varied meal preferences and dietary needs, delighting us with delicious, personalized meals that perfectly complemented the stunning surroundings. Her attention to detail and genuine care made every meal a highlight of our trip. By the third day, the camaraderie among our crew + fellow travelers was a reflection to the welcoming and inclusive atmosphere fostered by Angus and Lucy. They went above and beyond to enhance our experience, from organizing fun events on board to helping us plan and secure reservations at charming local restaurants in the towns we visited overnight. Overall, this catamaran adventure around the Cyclades was an unforgettable experience, made all the more special by the incredible team of Angus and Lucy. If you’re looking for a sailing journey that combines expert navigation, exceptional hospitality, and personalized touches, I highly recommend this trip. It’s an experience you won’t want to miss!
Corfu sailing with Angus and Liv
We have just finished a week in the Corfu area. This is our second Yacht Getaways holiday and it was excellent again. Our skipper, Angus, was professional, calm and very friendly. Our host, Liv, cooked up delicious meals for us. Do this if you want a brilliant tour of Greek towns and anchorages. We were very lucky (again) to share the boat with some lovely people from New Zealand, Canada and the US. Yacht Getaways offers great value in my opinion. A really chilled and fun holiday.
Catamaran in Cyclades.
We have just finished a 6 night cruise on the catamaran "Wind Whisperer". The yacht was well maintained, the skipper, Stewart, is very knowledgeable, with a great sense of humour. Lucy was our cook/hostess. She put together incredible meals with minimal ingredients available using the usual tight kitchen of the yacht. A fabulous experience of sailing, swimming, walks, shopping. A wonderful experience all round.
Second Yachtgetaways as Awesome as the first!
This was our second Yachtgetaways vacation and it truly was as amazing as the first. This time we joined Levi and Lauren on the Dubrovnik Explorer from Dubrovnik to Split and they gave us a dream trip of a lifetime. Levi is a skilled and fantastic Skipper who found all the best stops for swimming, and mooring while being friendly and fun at the same time. Levi went above and beyon dwhen there was a problem with the drains and we couldn't have asked for a better skipper to fix the problem immediately. Lauren was an excellent host who created amazing dishes and gave Dave delicious gluten-free options. The meals that she created in the kitchen rival 5-star restaurants. Her advice for tours, places to eat, and things to do was so informative. They make a great team, and you can see that they love their jobs. It was reflected in the service they provided, which made for a beautiful and unforgettable trip.
