“The Sunset Catamaran trip in Athens was fantastic, so much more than I imagined. We were picked up at our hotel and proceeded to the Catamaran in a timely manner. The two-person crew welcomed us with a selection of beverages. The wine was great! We were lucky to have 6 other couples on the trip that were our our age! The wine and beer flowed and the laugher ensued! The BBQ was so delicious. We had squid, shrimp, roasted vegetable, pasta, pork, and greek salad. All the food was made fresh onboard. The sunset at the end of the trip was magical. I'll always remember the sights of Ancient Greece,…”

“Had a lovely day sailing on the catamaran, host was lovely and couldn’t do enough to keep us comfortable, making sure we had enough to drink and chatting to us all. We stopped off for swimming in the sea (noodles and masks provided) then had a lovely freshly made dinner, after the trip we had problems getting a taxi and our hosts went above and beyond to arrange a taxi for us.”
