We had Max as our skipper the first half. He was very informative with every island we went to. He catered to everyone's needs and wants. He made everyone feel at ease on the boat. Great guy!! On the second half we had Dov. Very relaxed and chilled skipper. Made everyone feel comfortable on the boat. Great guy!!

Skipper on first week trip Santorini to Mykonos., first of all left early from agreed meeting place and left me behind...tavern owner contacted sailing company who took me to other side of island meeting spot. He was distracted throughout not willing to share information, did no briefing to show us where on charts we were travelling and safety briefing was greatly lacking especially in comparison to following week. Mainly on motor which was not what I expected

Michele K.  -  Traveled, July 2023

Both Erwin, the skipper for the 1st week',s sailing, Santorini to Mykonos & Marko the skipper for the 2nd week',s sailing from Mykonos to Athens were very experienced, knowledgeable, personable, offered lots of suggestions & both were also very considerate. 2 great groups of people made both weeks even more enjoyable. Swimming off the back of the boat was an amazing experience too!

Our entire experience with G Adventures was extremely pleasant and positive. I'd most definitely recommend G Adventures to either a family member or a friend - and I'm also very likely to book another tour through them again.
