Sailing Holidays Ltd - Sailing and Flotilla Sailing Holidays in Greece and Croatia
We've just returned from 2 weeks in the South Ionian, sailing with the finest bunch of people you'll ever meet, spotting dolphins and taking in the most unspoilt landscapes and safe sailing ever. James, Beth & Luke (on Kamara) kept us on course, out of harms way and entertained. They're a real credit to your company which stood out amongst the others in the area for the quality of its yachts and its relaxed, informative and professional approach. The best family holiday ever and we learnt how to sail too! Incredible. 2011 cant come too soon, "Dimari" Out.
Brilliant holiday all round, kids said best ever!! We could not have wanted a better lead crew they were fantastic in every way a massive credit to your company.
As usual you staff do you credit and were exceptional.
James our skipper was very professional and knowledgeable without being over protective and allowing free reign when things could be learnt!
Luke our engineer responded to all our problems promptly and efficiently with a ready smile even when the problem was a smelly toilet!
Last but not least the charming Beth full of knowledge about so many places.
We cannot fault the way we were looked after as all three went over and above the call of duty – Thank you.
Sadly the adverse weather prevented us visiting Zakinthos, so we settled on the very best of the South Ionian. Ben, Katie and Richard were fantastic and great ambassadors for the company for all the sailors they helped in some challenging conditions. Once again thank you for a great time, and as for Zakinthos, there is always next year!
I would like to let you know that we have just returned from our second two week holiday on flotilla. This year we did the whole Ionian on a Benetau 323. We have a wonderful time again. The boat was great and we really appreciated the wind meter, I was worried about transferring to a wheel after using a tiller previously but it was easier than I thought.
Many thanks, and looking forward to returning one day, (hopefully with the rest of the family).
We have just returned from our second sailing hol on a Beneteau 323 ( a little jump up from last years Jag 27) and once again we have had a ball. Can't wait to get back out there again, you have truly ruined us for any other holiday. Keep up the good work and the great crew. We are very inexperienced but learn more and more each time. Many thanks once again
Dear Barrie & Co,
Just a note to let you know that we had a brilliant week on Vouvousa. Loved the boat - it handled beautifully and easily. The lead crew, Tristan, Tony & Katy were incredible - great fun, informative, helpful and very obviously capable!! What a team - they even coped with us... On the whole a fabulous fortnight.
Just a quick email to say thanks for the well organised holiday run by the very professional crew of Olly, Tana & Chris on Helen. Weather was a little up and down but Olly always did his best to ensure that we had a chance to sail.
Thanks again for everything.
From first phone call to our coach back to Manchester it has been an exceptional trip.
Once again a big thanks to all at Sailing Holidays.
See you next year.
Thanks once again for another lovely flotilla. This is our third year with you, and despite the weather, the fortnight was on the whole, a success. The Delphi crew were excellent, always on top of their job.
The weather was excellent. The wind was excellent. The sea was superb.
The boat was above expectations. The team was super-competent and of constant full support. The organisation was excellent. We plan to embark in this wonderfull experience again.
Hi we have just returned from S Ionian with the rest of the Ashby Armada as it got nicknamed. We had a great time despite being storm bound on the last day and are already planning our next adventure with you.
Can't wait..............till next year! Just back from 2 weeks South Ionian in a 323 and didn't think it could get any better than when we went in July, but it does.
My husband and I have just returned from our first flotilla holiday in Greece. I would just like to say that we had an absolutely amazing time. The whole holiday was above and beyond anything that we had expected. Our crew Katie, Richard and Pete were brilliant and we shared lots of fun and laughter on the way, especially the regatta and evening party we all had a great time. Many thanks for a fab holiday!
We had the most wonderful holiday and best possible lead crew (Dan, Holly and Tim) and company from the other sailors delivering a Beneteau 323 to Kefalonia from Corfu in May this year. We had never done anything like it before and just have to do it again.
My wife and I returned last weekend from your two week Zakinthos flotilla holiday having had a Beneteau 361 (Tucano) to ourselves for the fortnight. This was our 4th flotilla holiday with you and definitely the best yet. We had an excellent holiday!
We retruned from our holiday on the 20th of September after having an absolutely fantastic two weeks on Mazia (Beneteu 323) in the South Ionian and our first Regatta. This is the first time I have ever written a letter following a holiday, to be honest either holiday was just ok or it was not worth writing about but I just had to write in to say that Helen and myself had a great time far better than we ever expected.
We've just got back from the 2 week Faraway Islands flotilla and we would just like to say what a brilliant time we had. The new 323s are the best boats we have ever sailed and the special touched that you have added such as comfort fans in the cabins and refrigerators that run all the time make them a pleasure to use.
We had a fantastic holiday...best ever. The boat (323) was brilliant, easy to handle and very comfortable and would recommend the boat and your company to anyone. We fancy another route next year, so will be saving our pennies from now on.
Just to let you all know that my family and I had a fantastic time or our sailing holiday with your company. I would hope to book with you again next year.
This is just to let you know that the Sailing Holidays standards aren`t slipping!
Peggy, Marileen and I had a truly wonderful time. The whole holiday, from booking to return to Gatwick ran perfectly and all you team, in London, as well as Greece did a superb job.
Having recently returned from 2 weeks in the Saronics on our 5th holiday with you we just wanted to say what a great time we had. The area is excellent for sailing, the lead crew were great and the contrast in places made for delightful stops en route. We will be looking to book again for next year!
I just wanted to thank you for providing us with one of the best holidays for many a year! I had done no sailing since my days as a naval cadet at R.N. College Dartmouth (1960) and amazingly, after some tuition from Warren out of Sivota, things started to fall into place, confidence grew and we were away! Already thinking about another trip next year.
We were pretty new to sailing but had a wonderful time with Sailing Holidays and with great support from your team. I wish I had discovered these holidays years ago!
Just a short note to thank you and the Sailing Holiday team for yet another brilliant week afloat. Warren, Andy and Monica were stars, you have some marvellous people working for you!
Great places, great weather, great boat, great company, great friends .........Happy Days
Despite the exchange rate, and a considerable amount of "Mama Mia" influences, a week has never gone so fast, these are the days which will live with the children and us forever, thank you for the memories.
The 323s are terrfic boats for us and we are completely hooked having always liked the Jags and particularly the conversions. I suppose there is no going back! Loved the extra gadgets especially the wind instruments which were a revelation, super heads - no need to go ashore to shower, the fans, separate domestic battery and a working fridge. Brilliant! We are looking forward to bringing the first group of grandchildren next year.
I have just returned from my second holiday with ‘Sailing holidays’ and would like to thank everyone for another great time. I went to a number of different places from last year which was nice and I was on one of your new Beneteau 323 boats which was excellent.
I would just like you to know I have just returned from the above holiday and I feel an email was in order to say how well you did!
I had a great time and can not wait to return with you company!
