Beyond Expectations

We had the best time - better than expectations! Our first time doing a boat trip and Yacht Getaways was a great experience for us. Everything went exactly as planned, our group of friends met our captain and first mate at their requested location and time and our group just immediately clicked with them. Even though one part of our group was a little late due to getting lost, they handled it very well and there wasn't any angst about it. Each day we woke up and Oscar would handle our breakfast and make sure we were happily fed and ready for the day. Lunches were also taken care of by him and he did a great job feeding us, even the vegetarians. He was also just a lot of fun to be with and we enjoyed hearing his stories. Our captain, Tim, was always a pleasure to be with as well and was happy to answer all the questions we had and make recommendations for where we were headed each day. Excepting one dinner reservation, which was not his fault, everything suggested was excellent. His expertise as a captain made us feel safe, even though we never had much wind or weather until the last day when we did have a cold rain storm. While all of us hid in the galley area, we watched Tim have to battle the elements to get us to our dock. It wasn't the best ending, but one cannot predict the weather! We loved Croatia and having the ability to go to small islands each day to swim, paddle board and hang out was so relaxing. Being away from the major tourist areas (since we were there in July) was also fabulous as when we did finally have to go into Dubrovnik at the end of our vacation, we were a bit overwhelmed with the amount of people there. It was so luxurious to have so many places on these islands which the captain said were now much more crowded than the week before, but still really lovely and not overly crowded to us. This vacation definitely spoiled us! Each day we would say, "this was the best day", and then the next day we'd say it again. That is a great vacation. When we had to leave our catamaran, I was so sad. I just didn't want it to end as it just was such an amazing vacation. Thanks to Tim and Oscar for making it happen that way - we miss you, also!

Wonderful trip on the Saga

Just returned home from a wonderful week with Ellen and Matt sailing on the Saga around Ionian islands. We were made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for them. The couple were both great fun and also very professional. We felt in very safe hands and the food provided by Ellen was wonderful. An experience I will recommend to my friends.

I was not involved in booking our trip…

I was not involved in booking our trip but understand communication was sporadic and at times difficult. Instructions for boarding were confusing and we spent sometime in the wrong location. We were disappointed that there were no baggage trollies available and we had to carry our heavy bags a distance. Once on board we had a fabulous holiday largely due to our skipper Brian, a patient, knowledge and understanding man who joined in with us whilst maintaining control. I really feel that the administration side of your business could be improved.

Greece Cyclades Explorer

My wife and I had an amazing experience sailing around the Greek Cyclades in the first week of June 2022 with our Skipper, Davide, Host Katy and 2 other guest couples. I must be honest and say we did have a few booking problems with the company but once we were on the Yacht, it could not have been a better holiday for us both. Davide's experience and knowledge as Skipper was outstandingly reassuring and the quality and freshness of food Katy served was superb. Both Davide and Katy were very welcoming as Skipper and host and we both highly recommend this holiday. If you are thinking about it and checking reviews before you book, as we did, then go for it, you will not be disappointed.

Amazing Sailing Holiday

We had an amazing time sailing Croatia with Yacht Getaways. Loved the boat, the sailing, and all of the picture-perfect towns we visited. We were lucky to have a really great group of other guests (sailors!) with us too! Planning Greece for our next trip this summer!

This was quite honestly one of the best…

This was quite honestly one of the best holidays I’ve ever had in my life. We loved our crew – James and Holly, and every minute of the week. The food was superb, amazing islands, the scenery was so spectacular and the towns and parks visited made each day its own unforgettable experience. They went above and beyond in making sure we were always safe, comfortable, well-fed, and having an incredible time. Thank you so so much James, Holly and Yacht Getaways!

Terrible policies for covid…

Terrible policies for covid disruptions. We originally booked a shared yacht for a honeymoon before covid started, and left a huge deposit. Now, with a baby, the only option they have recommended was a private yacht or lose the credit, as kids aren't allowed on the group bookings. Incredibly inflexible and poor communication on resolving the issue after countless attempts to come to a solution - buyer beware!
