Carefree Sailing with new friends

Sailing and motoring via catamaran through the Cyclades was a fabulous experience. With just four cabins, four couples on board, it was like a private tour. by the first day, we had bonded with the other couples from New Zealand, Australia and Canada. Our gracious skilled Captain Martin and first mate Roxanne took care of every detail. Roxanne prepared scratch lunches and breakfasts with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. We could help with the sailing and docking as much as we wanted or just laze on deck as we visited each charming, less traveled Cyclades island. When we anchored outside the marina, Martin was willing to go back and forth ferrying us in the dingy whenever we liked. Weather was ideal in early June. I will definitely recommend yacht getaways. Next time, I would opt for the deluxe catamaran to have a bigger shower space and take advantage of storage option in paros to stash our luggage for the rest of our staying Greece.

Many thanks Dal & Ellen

We had a wonderful trip thanks to our delightful skipper & host team, Dal & Ellen. Thank you so much for everything - great food (on the boat and off), great company and perfect balance between being on the water and on the islands. Loved it and would highly recommend.

Mel & Corinne's Bucketlist Adventures - Nolima June 2023

We sailed on the 10th June on the Nolima around the Ionian and it was FANTASTIC! The cat itself was a beautiful vessel, comfortable and well set out. The route took us to some beautiful little villages and swimming spots along the way, we even had a pod of dolphins swim alongside us, was truly magical. Our skipper, Levi, was charming and fun, always the consummate professional with a calm approach. Lauren, our host, is a gorgeous girl, she looked after our 'crew' like we were her family, preparing us the best breakfasts and lunches each day. Together, her and Levi make an awesome team. We would love to sail with them again. Highly recommend 👌

The Cyclades certainly knew a boat load of Aussies had visited

The Cyclades certainly knew a boat load of Aussies came visiting, as we made sure "Down Under" was regularly blaring from our speakers!! We had the best time with skipper Daan and host Luiz on Wind Whisper, and Daan ensured we visited the best anchoring and swimming spots. We also enjoyed meeting up with the guests on other Yacht Getaways boats.

Nolima | 2023 Ionian Sea

Clearly Yacht Getaways takes care and consideration of selecting their crew members …Levi and Lauren were outstanding in all aspects ensuring the most memorable experience was delivered. The natural beauty of the Ionian Sea and selection of swimming spots, overnight stays… even ensured a pod of dolphins swam alongside!!! Nolima was a beautiful catamaran with ample living space snd layout, we have made some forever friends from around the world… including our skipper Levi snd hostess Lauren. Already planning the next adventure, thankyou to all for a flawless escape. Corinne, Australia

Best trip ever!

Dal and Ellen were the best crew ever. Dal did an excellent job giving us the best opportunities to sail, he had an incredible sense of humor and was very kind during the entire trip. Ellen was a fantastic host, making the best food for breakfast and lunch! Especially thankful for the care taken to make reservations for us in advance and their excellent food recommendations. Very highly recommend this trip and especially this crew.

Best Greece Trip Ever

Dal and Ellen were the best crew for our trip! We had the most lovely time and got to see so many islands and had the best recommendations on what to do/eat when we were on land. Our boat was so fun and we became the cutest little family by the end of the trip. I cannot recommend this company and these people enough. I wish I could charter every boat with Dal and Ellen for every trip for the rest of my life.

Yacht Getaways; Greek Cyclades with Ellen and Dal

Our trip with Ellen and Dal was a last minute decision as a trip that we had organised with another company fell through. We became part of a caring family for a week with people from Britain, Canada and the USA. Everyone melded together and entered into the spirit of the cruise. The glue that bound the group of course were Dal, the captain, and Ellen, we had a long discussion as to what her title should be I think in the end we decided on First Mate, however I maybe incorrect. Dal is a great skipper with an in depth knowledge of the area and of course sailing. Food was delicious, you could tell that Ellen’s mum is a chef. We enjoyed trip immensely and would recommend it to everyone.
