An exceptional sailing experience

An exceptional experience. Davide and Katy (Skipper and host) were outstanding. This experience had it all; snorkelling, swimming and paddle-boarding in crystal blue waters, e-biking throughout the Mijet National park, delicious food (onboard and off), loads of great cities and quaint villages. Tremendous sailing holiday.

My first sailing vacation and it was…

My first sailing vacation and it was amazing. Sophie and Claire our skipper and host did an excellent job. From the begging our Yatch getaway trip was great. The food prepared by Claire was delicious, we had very healthy breakfast, fruits to eat all the time, and lunch also prepared with fresh ingredients. All the stops in Turkey were beautiful. We have enough time ti relax, go into the water, have some dolphins in our way, the only bad thing is that the vacation was over. I had a really great time and now checking were is going to be the next Yatch getaway trip. Thank you Sophie and Claire you are amazing.

Not to be missed sailing adventure with Matt Wallace and Alice

Our yacht was skippered by Matt Wallace and Alice was our host. They both conducted their jobs with warmth and professionalism. We were spoiled daily by Alice’s delicious and photo perfect food. She also provided great instruction as we anchored or moored and we all enjoyed being able to assist. Matt selected a wonderful route that maximized our pleasure and our safety. His humor made sailing with him great fun and our group appreciated our sailing lesson with him. Matt is a natural leader! I think Yacht Getaways needs to improve instruction for meeting the boat as that was the only point of confusion and made more complicated by the heat and luggage. Some signage at the marina would be greatly appreciated. Overall a fantastic trip and we look forward to more sailing adventures in the future.

Tim, Sophie and Yacht Getways were amazing

We had a week with Tim and Sophie sailing round islands in Southern Greece. They were absolutely fantastic as skipper and host and by the end we all felt like one big family. We laughed and had fun from the moment we woke up until we fell asleep. The food and drink was amazing (thanks Sophie) and Tim did a great job getting us to hidden bays and to great moorings. It is our second time with Yacht Getways and we would be recommend them to anyone.

Croatia Northern Explorer

We have just returned from our second Yacht Getaways (YG) trip. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic we had to rearrange this trip from 2020. The process was handled efficiently and professionally via email and after a long wait, we had a fantastic week sailing the Croatian Northern Explorer on board 'Simply the Best' with Skipper Trev and Host Paul. On arrival to the boat, Paul supplied lovely welcome drinks and nibbles and Trev walked us through his proposed route for the week (weather dependent). The cabin and ensuite bathroom were a good size and spotlessly clean and the air con was very efficient. Each day we visited a secluded bay for a swim/paddle board and lunch, and late afternoon/early evening we stopped at marinas with plenty to explore and excellent shower/toilet facilities. The skipper and host were second to none. We felt extremely safe in their hands, they were highly professional and no request was to much. Paul was very passionate about cooking and the food he produced always looked and tasted amazing. He made sure we were fully fueled and happily fed ready for the day ahead. Trev and Paul gave us restaurant recommendations, organised an amazing wine tasting experience on our request and booked taxis to ensure that we had a seemless and stress free holiday. The Host and Skipper undoubtedly make a huge difference to your trip and we were very lucky that we had Trev and Paul to ensure we had the best holiday. They were friendly, professional, knowledgeable and were definitely huge assets to Yacht Getaways. They worked long hours (far exceeding what was expected) and any future guests would be lucky to have them as their Skipper and Host. There are some things that could be improved by YG (this was not down to Trev and Paul), we were originally sent to the wrong location to board the boat as the instructions received from YG via email were not clear and the link stated the wrong Marina. This resulted in us lugging our bags and suitcases a fair distance in the heat which wasn't great. Clearer instruction on which Marina the boat departed from would have been great! All in all, we had a fantastic holiday with an amazing crew.
