Sailing Holidays Ltd - Sailing and Flotilla Sailing Holidays in Greece and Croatia
Hi, we have just returned from a sailing holiday with your company and we would like to give you our thoughts on the trip, FANTASTIC, AWESOME, ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS. We had the time of our lives, our crew were Rachael (skipper), Matt (engineer) and Leane (hostie) and they were great, we had expert guidance and nothing was too much trouble for them, they are very talented young people and were a credit to your company.
We will be joining you again next year hopefully with a couple of our friends and we would like to try out a bigger boat perhaps a Benteau 323?, could you let us know if you have any special offers for October this year or the first week of the season again next year.
Thanks again
Jeff and Chris, One week Whole Ionian flotilla 4th, May 2008
It's taken me a long time to get around to writing this but I couldn't return to work without ensuring you were aware of another happy customer on your fantastic holiidays. On reflection we think it has to be one of the best holidays we have ever had and satisfied the entire family's desires and wishes for a great holiday. This success was due largely to the excellent crew we had on our trip and we feel fortunate to have got to know them and extremely grateful to their input , friendliness and relaxed attitude to the trip. Tommy, Helen and Nik were fantastic!

I am writing to let you know that we had a fantastic sailing holiday with you in the Southern Ionian this August. We will certainly be having another holiday with you in the future. I also would like to express how good, I felt, our lead crew were during the week. This is a general sentiment that I feel was shared by other boats on the flotilla. My family thoroughly enjoyed the whole time. We cannot wait to come back in the future.
We've taken many holidays off all kinds all over the world, and this one definitely rates among the best. This is due in no small part to the lead crew on Dessa (James, Carly & Youngy) who did an excellent job. We cannot praise the lead crew too highly - a job well done!!
We hope to see you all again next time.
Dear All. Just a few lines to say thanks for another great holiday We are both having trouble getting to the vertical after such a relaxing time. The lead crew seemed to make life easy without trying too hard (James, Youngy and of course Carley.) Hope you all have a good winter see you next year?
Our 2 week Southern Ionian Flotilla turned out to be one of the best holidays we have ever had as a family. The yachts were brilliant and almost everything seems to have been thought of to make life easier. The lead crew of Tommy, Nik and Helen were a perfect mix of "laid back fun" and sheer professionalism. So very many thanks for a great holiday - you now have us firmly back as regular customers!
I have recently returned from a one week sail in the Ionian Sea with your company. I am so very happy to tell you that this sailing adventure was a most thrilling experience for both my wife and I. The whole concept worked exactly like the book said it would, which, in this day and age, is a rare occurence. Perhaps it was the perfect weather we had, the food we ate, the friendly boaters we met, the boat itself, the just right winds that blew, the breathtaking scenery, the employees of your company, the hikes we took into the various island's countrysides, the parties, or maybe it was the drama involved in parking the expensive toys we played with. I am already in the planning stages of a two week sail with Sailing Holidays in one to two years.
We felt that we simply had to tell you what a simply wonderful time we had. I have always wanted to try this holiday since first seeing your brochure in 1992. If only we had found the time before. Thanks again for a fantastic holiday, which we can't wait to repeat.
Once again very many thanks for making a wonderful holiday happen for us. Our lead crew (Rob, Adam and Corrine) were wonderful. Once I find the brochure I'll be booking for next year!
My son Tim and I have just returned ( 1.10.06 ) from a weeks sailing in the South Ionian. We would like to express our thanks to your crew who made our stay great despite the unusually bad weather. Ben, Clair and Nick managed to create a relaxed atmosphere while being quietly efficient and great fun. We certainly will be returning and have no reservations in recommending your company to our friends.
I thought I would mention that we had an absolutely fantastic holiday in the South Ionian as a result of the incredible helpfulness of the skipper, engineer and hostess; Ben, Nick and Claire. Not once did they cringe at yet another request from a completely useless bunch of women who couldnt work the stove; never mind mooring. We had a brilliant time and thank you very much. We will be returning again next year.
We have just returned from 2 weeks on the South Ionian flotilla. One word describes the whole experience FANTASTIC.
The lead crew Drew, Traci and Clarkie were excellent. From the moment we stepped off the coach they were always smiling happy and really helpful. The input was always just right; enough to ensure we felt comfortable but also ensuring we had lots of time to do our own thing. Nothing was ever too much trouble........ even if it was they never showed it!!!
We were/are novice sailors the nearest Elaine had come to a boat before was 4 hours on the Dover/Calais ferry!!!
We will definitely be back again... next week if we had our way!
Linaria 16/7/06 to 30/7/06
I have just returned from a wonderful week sailing in the South Ionian. Our yacht Mintaka was clean and comfortable. Every place we stopped at exceeded my expectations. Thank you for introducing me to sailing in such an idyllic environment.
Dear Sailing Holidays,
We have just returned from our week taking Linaria (305 Benny) from Corfu down to the South Ionian and we had a fantastic time.
As first time customers (and first flotilla) we found the whole experience wonderful. I don't think you could do any better. The booking process, the info etc was excellent.
Our lead Crew, Drew, Clarkie and Trace were brilliant and made the whole thing that much better. If you would pass our thanks on to them I would be grateful.
Helen had no sailing experience before this trip and on the first day was a little scared to say the least, by day three she was steering with her feet as the attached picture shows.
Many thanks and we will be back!
I would like to thank Nancy, Simon & Vicky for a great flotilla experience in the South Ionian. I found the service and information was second to none from Simon and the back up from Vicky outstanding; our skipper Nancy gave us the information we needed to complete each day succesfully. Fanorious was a pleasure to sail she is a great boat for larger groups and suited us perfectly. Our group were so impressed with everything we had no complaints, from a load of old farts like us that's good going! Nancy, Vicky and Simon are a credit to your buisness and it's people like this every employer dreams of. Good Luck Guys!! Thanks for everything
