In their words

Just returned from a week's holiday in Skiathos. Our yacht trip with Captain Christos was without doubt the highlight for us. As well as being a skilled yachtsman, he was funny, entertaining and knowledgeable about the area. We were also very lucky to be joined by 2 other couples who shared our sense of humour and made it even more of a memorable day for us all. The weather was fantastic and the 4 stops for swimming were in lovely locations. It was also wonderful to be powered purely by the wind in the sail with no motor. The meal on Skopelos that was included in the trip was superb with friendly staff and great food. Please do as others say and make the extra journey past the commercial boats and visit Captain Christos in his mooring around the corner from the bus station on the road towards the airport. Thank you Captain Christos.
Tripadvisor review
We returned from a fantastic holiday 10 days ago, but without a doubt a highlight of an already fabulous time was a day out sailing on the good yacht Carpe Diem, with Captain Christos at the helm. There were 9 of us aboard, us 3, a couple and another family, it never felt crowded and the pace of the day was perfect. Christos knows his islands which allowed us to avoid the crowds during each of the stops and the taverna he took us to for lunch presented a great menu and very tasty food, (in huge portions). Christos is a great personality and very friendly, with a wave and a greeting every time we passed him thereafter. In our opinion well worth the 5 stars we have given him and well worth any visitors to Skiathos seeking him out for a wonderful experience. Thank you Christos!
