The Crew and the boat were perfect. The boat was like new and was kept in perfect shape. The captain Roberto is an expert in that area having sailed the Amalfi coast from most of his life. He was an excellent captain and an expert on the area and always accommodated our requests. I’ve been boating on the ocean all my life, so there are only a few people who are equal in their seamanship skills and Roberto is certainly one of them. Marco the crew and chef was excellent – he prepared some amazing meals and would head to the market at different ports to pick out fresh fish and produce. The boat was well stocked, and they added whatever we requested. I think our favorite stop was the island of Ischia – we prefer more local less touristy towns but all the spots we hit were excellent. Thank you Boatbookings for delivering a great experience and we will be back soon!
This has been an unbelievable trip with an incredible crew! We love them all! Thank you to Boatbookings for working your magic and guiding us to BABALU, you made all of our dreams come true!
Thank you Boatbookings. We are having a wonderful time.
We have had some high seas which have meant we haven’t been able to get to the eastern side of the island where most of the beaches are but Oliver is doing his best to get us there, we have had some idyllic moorings and are headed towards beaches today! We were commenting that these are the most friendly and hospitable crew we have had on a charter.
The boat’s living spaces are spacious and well equipped and we have made great use of all the water toys. The staff are professional and keep the boat clean and tidy. The breakfasts have been wonderful, we have enjoyed Spanish meats, cheese and bread for lunches and have had three dinners on board so far. Patrea has done her best to accommodate all tastes: we have a couple of people who do not enjoy fish/seafood but some of us love it.
Our cruise aboard the Babalu touring some of the Saronic Islands and the Peloponnesian coast was spectacular! The boat was beautiful and perfect for the 6 of us. We occupied 3 of the 4 cabins and used the 4th to store our luggage. The cabins were comfortable with room to fully unpack and the “en-suite” heads very well appointed. The 4 seating areas on the boat (bow, stern, cabin, and fly bridge) had ample seating for all of us. The crew couldn’t have been better. Captain Lefteris was knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. We had a number of sailors among us and he was happy to let us take turns at the helm. The chef Cristos was terrific. We found ourselves having more of our meals on board than we had planned because the food was much better than we found on shore. We had a vegetarian, lactose intolerant, and glucose intolerant (plus 3 omnivores). Each of us was thrilled at every meal. The hostess, Anna, couldn’t have been more helpful. She treated us like family and, heaven forbid, should we want to do something for ourselves. My wife and I are early risers and asked to be shown how to use the coffee maker as there was no reason for her to be up at 5:30 a.m. Not a chance. We are so grateful to Boatbookings for guiding us to the Babalu and your professionalism throughout was exemplary.
Best vacation ever! This trip has been a true highlight of my life. So many wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. FLORAMYE is an exceptional boat, but it is the crew who made it extra special. We loved every moment! Thank you to the amazing onboard team, who anticipated and managed our every need and thank you to Boatbookings for organising.
Every day was amazing and we got very lucky with beautiful weather, so all in all we’re very happy! Thank you, Boatbookings for checking in on us and proactively ensuring we had all the important info. The diligence and professionalism is much appreciated.
Thank you all for such a wonderful experience this past week, this was a truly unforgettable trip. Boatbookings did an excellent job at guiding us towards Looma. A wonderful crew and beautiful boat, we look forward to coming back again.
We had a wonderful time on UNICKA. The hospitality was unmatched, and we were so grateful for the crews kindness. We cannot thank you enough for a memorable experience!
Not only was the boat great, but the crew were superb. It was my first time on a sailing yacht and the crew made it very easy for me. Fabulous itinerary, lovely boat, delightful experience and a truly amazing crew. Thank you Boatbookings for all your help and insights!
Thank you Boatbookings, you helped plan a trip that exceeded our expectations. We are so appreciative of all the work everyone put in to create a wonderful vacation. I would like to thank Captain Michael for his suggestions as to how we could maximise our time at each one of our stops. All I can say is the entire trip was magical and we are so glad we choose APHAEA for our family adventure.
