What an amazing trip Boatbookings! My family had the BEST time on board the Dolly, she’s a beautiful boat with a very lovely crew. We will definitely want to do another catamaran charter next summer!
Boatbookings,
We will be disembarking in a couple of hours. I wanted to let you know what a great week we had. We knew the boat and the itinerary would be amazing before we came but the incredibly hard-working, talented and friendly crew knocked our sox off. First class!!
I said a few words of thanks last night after dinner. Here are my notes:
“Luigi is a fantastic captain. He is an expert sailor - Italian Champion - 2 years and has captained yachts for 30 years. He also has had many incredible life experiences. One of his hidden talents is he is a great DJ. He commands the yacht with calm and deliberate instructions and is a pleasure to be around.

Mario is one of the best chefs in the world. We had 17 of our 21 meals on board. They were the best 17 meals of my life. Highlights were grilled shrimp over fennel, eggplant Parmesan, mussels, sea bass, homemade Italian donuts, fresh avocado with olive oil, Italian tuna with fried zucchini, stuffed zucchini with salmon and cheese, and my favorite- Carbonara. And as of tonight Scampi, Shrimp and Tuna Tartar.
A+
Barbara is a friendly and a hard working deck hand. She is always on the go. Today she cleaned windows for 3 hours straight. And She always has a smile.
A+
Gina is as attentive and friendly as possible. She always anticipates our needs is asking us if she can make us a drink. Our bedrooms are always tidy and she cleans and folds our laundry to perfection. When she serves our meals it is always precise and she communicates our days activities extremely well.
A+“
Lori and I have discussed planning another sailing trip, possibly for 2026. If the timing and availability works out, possibly with Luigi and his crew in Sicily. We will stay in touch.
Thank you again Boatbookings for coordinating a fantastic trip. A+ to you too!
A huge thanks to each of you for making our trip extra special! You were all attentive to each and every need of each of us (that IS a lot of needs!). Each of you showed genuine care, allowing us to feel spoiled and pampered. You showed us a beautiful part of the world in style and for that we are forever grateful. Perfect recommendation and professionalism from Boatbookings.
Thank you Boatbookings, you made a trip of a lifetime incredibly special. I loved our time aboard and first experiences - new islands, pizza lunch on the swim deck and so much more! To our crew, I will miss you all and think of you often!
Dearest Ouranos crew, the past two weeks have been the most amazing vacation in our lives. We love Greece, Greek food and Greek people! You all made the trip fantastic! Thank you - we hope to see you again in the near future!
To the Ouranos crew, you are the best! Our two weeks aboard could not have been any better. This has been the vacation of fun, sun and good friends! We had the trip of a lifetime - we love you all so much, and thanks to Boatbookings for making it happen!
Thank you Marko and Bruno for helping create memories for our family that will last a lifetime. A highlight was our morning in Vis, drinking Cappuccinos and buying fresh swordfish, bread and fruit at the market; it reconfirmed in my mind that there are good people in the world! Please come and visit us, you are always welcome. Thank you Boatbookings for making this trip a reality and putting it all together.
Thank you Boatbookings, we spent the weekend in Paros before flying home from Athens. The Dolly was absolutely amazing! We had a fabulous time and created many life long memories. Kostas and his crew treated us like family and it was hard saying goodbye. Thinking about next year, do you have any similar boats in the Aeolian Islands?
Captain Sam, thank you for arranging an incredible week for us. You have built an amazing team and run a special ship. We felt totally relaxed in your hands and look forward to coming back soon! Chef Lucy, thank you for all you did to make our trip special. Your delicious pasta, perfect steak, homemade ice cream and delightful company all contributed to a fantastic week. Cheers to more adventures with Shayne and Tayden, you added the extra sparkle! and Thank you Boatbookings for guiding us to VESTA, we look forward to the next one!
We had the most wonderful charter onboard Porthos. Absolutely loved every moment.
Captain Carlo and his crew were so kind and hospitable and made us all feel very comfortable and welcome from the get go.
Carlo knows the area like the back of his hand and we were very happy to go with his recommendation each day based on the weather conditions - and everything was perfect!
La Maddalena was our favorite location followed closely by Bonifacio. All absolutely stunning! Corsica was not on our planned itinerary so it was a wonderful surprise.
The crew were amazing, food was simple yet healthy / fresh and delicious.
Thank you Boatbookings for arranging this wonderful charter for us and for being available at every stage, it has certainly made the process easy and wonderful!
