Amazing sailing week! It was my first sailing experience and I can't wait to go back to Greece. Dimitris is a great captain and I highly recommend sailing with him.

Sailing the Mediterranean and visiting the Greek islands was a life time experience. Dimitris is very experienced and professional Captain. I have sailed with him in the Caribbean as well and I highly recommend him as an ASA instructor.
