Sailing in the Greek Islands! - This was not only the best thing we did on our Naxos holiday but one of the best tours ever! Costa and Jyriakis looked after us so well, plenty of cold drinks and delicious food. They took us to the best places to swim and answered all our questions about Greece, Naxos and the islands. The yacht was very comfortable, highly recommend!

Amazing Naxos Sailing - Both of the employees were extremely nice and took great care of us! We went to 3 different swimming spots around Paros. The views and the lunch experience were amazing. Would highly recommend!

Great full day out - We thoroughly enjoyed our sailing tour with xanemo sailing. Kostos and Alex looked after us really well and took us to some gorgeous spots to snorkel and swim. The wind and waves were a bit wild but they reassured us that was normal and sure enough the boat didn’t capsize!!! 🤣
A lovely day out with lovely lunch and drinks. There was 10 of us on the tour and plenty room for everyone

Lovely relaxed day at sea. - Lovely small group tour. The bays we anchored in were beautiful. Little marine life around the island though. The wind was strong meaning my sea sickness did get the better of me a little bit but that didn’t detract from the day. The captain was fabulous and in control of the boat the whole day. The food was good and they catered for a vegetarian option. We left at half 8 and got back after 6 ready to catch the sunset at the Temple of Apollo.

Fun day, good crew - The crew was great and the water amazing! They provided snacks, lunch, and endless drinks, as well as snorkeling equipment. Unfortunately, it was a bit windy, so rough rides in between stops, but Alex and Kostas were great and did their best to minimize the rough waters. I would recommend this sailing tour!

100% disappointment - The offer stipulates that you go sailing and no motor, which is why I bought this cruise. The offer says you do the little Cyclades, which is why I bought this cruise. The offer also says that you are maximum 10 on the boat (which is already a lot) or 12 on the second page, the already we do not know very well and it is definitely too much because you will have to have at least 4 people at the front of the boat and with the swell, good luck. The reality is that you take a 100% motor cruise, you only discover one cove of a single island of the small cyclades and you spend 80% of the time travelling on too small a boat to accommodate 10 or 12 people (luckily, there were only 4). Otherwise, nice welcome from the captain and his assistant, good classic meal of these cruises. If you want comfort, favor catamarans and if you want to sail, I don't know or advise you but not at home. And also, beware of their website or they sell more than on the sites as trip. in short, to avoid because the offer is super enticing but the realization super disappointing.

They don’t sail…. - The websites that say this company and your day is about sailing are not true. You pay for a beautiful sailboat( which I was interested in knowing more about) but I suspect that main sail hasn’t been unfolded for months. It’s too much work for a one man crew doing everything. The trip does not go where they advertised. Due to “ conditions “ we went out to Iraklia and stopped at the underwater airplane wreck. Stayed there for 2 hours when maybe 1 hour is more than enough. Very few fish or anything to see underwater. Continued on to the port of Iraklia and stopped for a swim and then headed back to Naxos stopping for one more swim, basically just to kill time.
The food was fine and Alex is very nice guy who worked very hard all day to make the day pleasant. Should have been 2 crew on that boat. That said, if you are expecting anything more than a sailboat motoring out all day to some pretty, but uninspiring spots, go on another boat, especially for 300 Euros (2 people). Many other boats out that day had full sails up without issue. I suggest this company should be realistic about where they can actually sail on a particular day rather than filling the time motoring around. Downgraded review as I have become more upset about this experience. Should get at least a partial refund. Avoid this company is my opinion.

Disappointing - I had high expectations for the proposed route and for the positive reviews. I was disappointed. Due to insufficient wind to sail we travelled at a reduced speed. Perhaps this is why we have done so many hours of sailing without being able to navigate the Small Cyclades. In fact we made 2 stops in Naxos, in points easily accessible by car, and one in Heraklion.
Not recommended tour: too many hours of navigation with uninteresting views. 2 additional notes: the crew did not take photos as advertised on the tour poster; no safety indication was given (not even the location of lifebuoys).
The only positive note: Costa (Constantin), our friendly skipper who cheered us up with information and anecdotes about the Greeks and their culture and who did not miss food and drinks throughout the trip.

Broken promises - False advertising on all floors and different rates depending on the distribution channels. I explain myself. The promise: “full sailing cruise”. Maximum number of participants ede 10 (or 12 depending on the page you are looking at). Reality: cruise all motor- small boat very uncomfortable for 10 or 12 (on that day we were 4 and it was perfect, past 6 is hell). We only went to one bay on one island in the small Cyclades. On 10h, we spent 7h navigating the engine without any interest. AlsoThe rate is cheaper on Trip sites and other resellers than on the Xanemo site that makes Yield, go understand. I asked for a commercial gesture because I had chosen this cruise to sail- answer - we will no longer answer you!! Correct onboard service and food ok without more (at 10 it must be hell to eat). To flee without moderation!
