First Day at Sea - No matter where you go by boat, Greece is beautiful. Captain and crew awesome - beach stops were amazing - food at local restaurant yum - well worth the $ and tip!

Nice and friendly crew,... - Nice and friendly crew, had a lot of time to explore individually at different stops. Nicely structured, did not spend too much time traveling. The crew left earlier than discussed at all stops, at times even 10 minutes before (like 11.20am instead of 11.30am). We felt it was quite inconvenient, since there might have been some people still coming to the boat, but no one was left I guess.

Boat trip around the... - Boat trip around the island was excellent - paid a bit more to be picked up and this was on time in a decent air conditioned coach. Was a bit choppy so didn’t do north and west of the island which was a shame but understandable as it was quite rough on the leg over to mainland Greece. 4 stops in total with the highlight being the mainland fishing village - superb little taverna there that was authentic fun delicious and cheap. We all had a great day and the tunes on the boat were really good too. Someone said the announcer was a bit dull - not a bit of it, thought she did a good job and ran the little bar well - expect to pay a bit more on the boat for food and drink. Transfer back did take a bit of time as I think we waited for another boat to come in - this was the only minor criticism on an otherwise great day out

Great Trip! but buy direct from boat to board first - We had a great trip, exactly according to the itinerary. We arrived early (45 minutes) and were first in the queue, with the intention to choose our seat. We were however told a second boat would arrive and that we would need to wait for it as we booked indirectly via an agent Then everyone who booked their tickets directly with the boat beforehand was able to board the first boat. The second boat only had a guide speaking Romanian. Luckily we met a friendly Romanian man translated the main points for us. As said the trip itself was very good and worth the money. Just make sure you get a seat with a guide that speaks a language you understand.

Better than expected - Firstly the negative. Due to the weather on the day of our trip, we were informed that we would not visit the North of the Island. This is at the Captains discretion, so fair enough. Take your own drinks as they are extortionate on board - £4 for a small can of Coke! Expect four beach stops for swimming or sunbathing. This includes at stop on the mainland where you can get lunch. Food and drinks are not included in the boat trip price. Expect a cramped boat with very little space to walk around. Beach stops are around 45mins by the time you get off and back on again. Positive points are the views around Skiathos. Trip took around 8 hours but the time passed quickly.

Save yourselves and find a happier Captain and worthier place to spend your money! The others seems a lot more jolly - AVOID AVO - What a disappointment!! Will never use this company again and will actively pre-warns friends and family to try elsewhere. The communication and appetite for our business were lost from the beginning of he day. We arrived in good time, 20 mins before the designated start time, we did so to secure decent lilos for the two of us. We were ushered away and asked to return in 20 mins which we did to find the forward facing beds taken. It started to feel like our faces didn't fit?? Next the free for all with sunbeds with people taking clearly reserved beds with complete impunity. The staff vibe was the poorest I've ever experienced. They may has well have said we don't want to be here and we don't want your business. Okay, the food was very nice and the fresh fruit was a nice touch but sadly it had to compete with the bad taste established by the crew's complete and utter lack of customer service. The vibe was awful, grumpy, quiet and tense. The Captain also rudely shouted at my wife in front of the other passengers immediately harpooning the chance of a tip or a recommendation. If you want a fun day out, laughter and happiness (general requirements of most holidays) avoid this boat of misery. NO NO NO NO!

Failed one-day coaster cruise on the sea - Excursion of 5 September 2025 Despite the beautiful sunshine, the waves were far too great for the ship to sail north to Lalaria and Ketros. After more than an hour sailing for nothing to Lalaria and to undergo rather than relax, we were landed in Tsougrias for less than 40 min, time to get off and back to the boat to leave... And go to the mainland to Katigiorgis, still with big waves, where there was absolutely nothing to see or do. We had lunch there and that's all. The beach no interest and nothing to visit around. Before leaving, when I asked about the next destination, the answer was to wait to be in the boat to find out because the person did not know... We were told that we were going to Maratha beach, then we would return to Tsougrias where we had already been. For those who wanted to return to Skiathos, they offered to take the bus to Maratha but at our expense... again, 0 points! For professionals of navigation, conditions at sea are known long before leaving! Passengers were wet and, depending on the weight, could have fallen into the sea, and no lifejackets were offered at least to people who could not swim while the vessel was being manhandled by the waves. The only good thing was that the captain was piloting his boat despite the conditions. For us, we took the Bus option at our expense to stop the massacre and save our day. No entertainment on the boat, loud music, unnecessary risk taking, no serious plan B offered to customers, no refund or discount offered. At 90 euros for two people, that is unacceptable.
