"Fabulous holiday cruising the Ionian. Laurie, Pedro and Pete provided excellent suport throughout and were ever ready to provide assistance when needed." - David Owens - Numero Uno (Bavaria 46) - August 2010
"Thanks to all at Nisos for a wonderful sailing holiday. It really could not have been better." - Pete Swift and Wardlaw family - Deep Blue (Bavaria 40) - August 2010
"Nisos provide a package that far outstrips the service of any of the many competitors we have sailed with. The boats are in excellent condition, the support is marvellous and the extras included ensure that value is secured over and above its competitors." - Harry and Candida Waters - Sophia Christianos (Jeanneay 42DS) - August 2010
"Just got back yesterday after a fabulous week and thought I would drop you a line to say thanks. The whole experience with yourselves has been excellent, from the booking assistance right through to our departure. Please extend our thanks again to Laurie & the lads - there were some minor niggles with Olive, but they were always quick to respond and were a pleasure to deal with. We are thinking of coming again next year & heading North up around to Corfu, so will be in contact later when we have finalised dates." - Mike and Natalie Woodhouse - Olive (Bavaria 36) - August 2010
"We had the Assisted scheme for two weeks and cannot recommend it highly enough. It is a very good idea for those, like us, who were new to the Ionian and also took the strain out of mooring in the busy harbours. We were very impressed. We all enjoyed a tremendous family holiday, on a great yacht with the superb assisted bareboat scheme." - John Harrison - Iona (Bavaria 39) - August 2010
"Excellent yacht, excellent service and an excellent holiday!" - Sue and Sturat Dawson - Summer Breeze (Bavaria 35) - August 2010
From August 8 to 22 I sailed between the Ionian islands aboard Cloud Nine, the Bavaria 44 - 4 cabin from Nisos. We were 8 and the boat was very well equipped and comfortable and acknowledge that the management of Nisos is the most organized I have ever met. The only difficulty I have is with the language but everything was well explained and clear already from reading the web site. One problem we had with the sail was quickly resolved and we did not lose any sailing time. For those who would like to charter a boat in the Ionian islands, I strongly recommend Nisos Yacht Charter to which I express again my thanks! - Giuseppe Colleoni - Cloud Nine (Bavaria 44 - 4 cabin) - August 2010
We had a lovely 2 weeks on Olive and the extremely helpful team at Nisos at every step of the way was hugely appreciated. The best thing from our point of view (having been customers of Sunsail in the same sailing area in previous years) was the extremely warm welcome received on arrival, a speedy, but relaxed boarding procedure, and the extra half day sailing at the start and extra half day at the end of the holiday. These kind of things are just not possible with the larger companies." - Stephen Clarke - Olive (Bavaria 36) - August 2010
"This was the first time that my wife and daughters have sailed and I was worried that they may not like it; however thanks to the Nisos Experience, they are now completely hooked and can't wait to sail again - with Nisos. We rate the assistance as the highest possible. In all aspects from the beginning to the end, the contact with Laurie and his team was friendly, efficient, prompt and in fact, since at the end we did a very stupid mistake (involving fuel tanks and water...), understanding and helpful. No problem was too trivial and solutions were rapidly found. It has to be said that the problems we had were our fault and nothing to do with the boat or Nisos and yet the team effortlessly and graciously solved them. This team is worth its weight in gold and a large part of the success of our holiday was due to Laurie and his team. I would like to take this occasion to thank them and say what a pleasure it was to meet them." - Malcolm Buckle - Deep Blue (Bavaria 40) - August 2010
"This year we needed all the services Nisos provide when your out cruising....and they all worked! There when you need them, and not there when you don't - sounds like the kind of cruising operator I like!" - Richard Wetenhall - Grace of Lefkas (Bavaria 38) - August 2010
"A wonderful family holiday with easy transfers and a speedy get away in a fabulous boat. The Ionian provides a wide variety of anchorages from quiet dark bays for shooting stars watching to busy town quays." - Taylor family - Sophia Christianos (Jeanneau 42DS) - August 2010
"Personalised service; very experienced and mature staff; being able to leave on the first day and return just before departure on the last day is a great touch. I have been involved with yacht charter in the Med, the USA and the Caribbean and I belive Nisos is, without doubt, the best operation around." - Paul Archer - Numero Uno (Bavaria 46) - August 2010
"Thanks once again to Rowan, Laurie, Kate and their team for the best holiday again since last years sailing holiday with Nisos. Nothing is too much trouble, the service and yachts are first class. All other charter companies in Greece need to take note and aspire to their very high standards." - Chris Webb - Melissa (Bavaria 42) - August 2010
"This was my first trip to the Ionian. I read a lot about the beautiful islands, mild winds and protected seas. Even so, the trip turned out even better than my (very high) expectations. The boat was excellent and the Nisos team was giving us the service that went well beyond the call of duty. The back up service was excellent, fast and competent; much better than anything I have received in the past from other companies. I certainly hope to return over and over again." - Pero Meticevic - Captain Jack (Jeanneau 45DS) - August 2010
"The best end to end yacht chartering experience that we have ever had - congratulations on an outstanding operation! Polly sailed very well and everything worked. Enjoyed the extras - bow thruster and remote windlass control. Booking procedure excellent, especially Rowan visiting us at home to provide information on the yacht and sailing area." - Elizabeth and Roland Parker - Polly (Bavaria 39) - June 2010
"Thank you to all at Nisos, for an absolutely fantastic holiday. Our week onboard Good News was unforgettable, with fantastic sailing and very comfortable accommodation for our family of four. The following week at Villa Nisos - in absolute luxury - was so relaxing, we have returned home truly catatonic! We will definitely be back. Thanks so much." - The Evans Family - Good News (Bavaria 34) and Villa Nisos - July 2010
"We had a great, active family holiday on a lovely well kept and fitted out boat, in a beautiful area, with brilliant back up and support. Christopher Robin exceeded our expectations. We appreciated the cleaning "kit", including the loo and kitchen rolls, and getting fresh sheets and tea towels at the end of our first week." - Nigel and Sara Banks - "Christopher Robin" (Bavaria 37) - July 2010
"Highly recommended for a sailing holiday in the Ionian. The service is excellent, the yacht we had was in as new condition and most importantly, Nisos are the actual operator of the yacht, not just a booking agent, so there are no unpleasant surprises! We also liked Perigalia as a base. It is small compared to the main Lefkas port which makes the whole process more informal plus you can park 20 yards away from the boat! - Dimitrios Petousis - Polly (Bavaria 39) - July 2010
"Just thought you would like to hear how much we enjoyed the beautiful boat, Christopher Robin. It was very clean, tidy and easy to manage. The staff at the pick up of the yacht were wonderful and very helpful and even dropped my daughter at the shop to buy some water shoes. We found everything easily and coped very well. The only thing we did not find until the last day was the extra boom awning, which provided lots of shade. All the ports we went to were wonderful and had lots of people to help moor up. We had such a wonderful, relaxing holiday - thank you Nisos." - The Dombey Family - Christopher Robin (Bavaria 37) - July 2010
"This was our best trip to the Ionian, with great winds to sail in, great places to explore and the unflappabble Nisos Team to make us feel welcome. We could not rate the Assisted charter scheme more highly. We enjoyed going to Poros, being slightly off the beaten track and to have Joe go ahead to scout the new harbour layout. Olive lived up to all the high standards set in the past by Nisos - she was in fantastic shape." - Colin, Sarah-Jean and Felix Peters - Olive (Bavaria 36) - July 2010 on the Assisted Bareboat Charter scheme.
"Just wanted to write to say that we had a great week on Truly Scrumptious. The boat was a great size, really well kitted out and had everything that we needed. Kate and Laurie were so well organized and helpful and it was a pleasure hiring off you. Thanks and see you next year!" - Louise Gibson - Truly Scrumptious - July 2010 Assisted Bareboat Charter scheme.
"A fantastic deep blue Ionian adventure aboard one of the newest yachts in the region. A different experience each day be it crusing with dolphins, swimming in deserted bays, full on exciting sailing in 25kts winds, exploring ruins and resting each night in beautiful quaint harbours and fantastic food. If you want blue water sailing don't miss the Ionian, and don't miss Nisos, they have the best yachts and great service that give you full confidence to explore everything this region has to offer." - Bruce Pasey, Steve Badger - Captain Jack (Jeanneau 45DS) - July 2010
"We had a great holiday, even with non sailors on board. The boat was good, well set up and clean. What a great sailing area!" - David Holmes - Tranquillity (Legend 41DS) - July 2010
"This was our fourth time with Nisos. We cannot fault the service we receive. From booking with Rowan through to the airport transfers, friendly and efficient welcome by Kate, cleanliness of the yachts and the calm professionalism of Laurie - all excellent and highly recommended - thank you for a very enjoyable holiday." - Chris and Marcia Nolan - Olive (Bavaria 36) - June 2010
"Relaxing break: Boat, weather, islands all delightful. Hope you expand to other cruising areas!" - Robert Trimble - Polly (Bavaria 39) - June 2010
"Nisos exceeded our expectations with the quality of their yachts and the customer service. Thank you for taking such good care of us! The yacht was excellent - very clean, good equipment and in very good condition. This is the second time we have chartered with Nisos, and their yachts are always much better than any others we have chartered worldwide." - Jenny Kenning - Constance (Bavaria 37) - June 2010 ![]() "Easy transfer and handover; well maintained and clean boat; excellent 24/7 support from the friendly Nisos team; beautiful sailing area - PERFECT!! We had a small issue with Good News when we were over in Kalamos. We called Laurie in the evening and they would have come out that evening if we'd requested it. We asked them to come the next morning and they were there exactly on time in the RIB. They were courteous and asked permission to come aboard which was a nice touch. The issue was sorted whilst we went shopping. Really good service, and it is the main reason we rate Nisos so highly. This is our third year with Nisos. - Jeremy Bates - Good News (Bavaria 34) - June 2010 ![]() "This was our first yacht charter and initially we found it somewhat daunting deciding where to go and which company to book with. We chose Nisos because they seemed a friendly, personal and reliable company; we were not disappointed. Booking was simple, everything was as described and there were no hidden extras. As we were only two and my wife is an inexperienced sailor, we decided to have a skipper, initially planning for the first two days. In the end, Richard (our skipper), stayed with us for 6 days - he was professional, extremely knowledgeable and knew all the best places to go and eat; he was great company and nothing short of - invaluable! What a holiday; we're coming back....! " - Ray and Maureen McGhie - Summer Breeze (Bavaria 35) - June 2010 ![]() "To Laurie, Kate, Rowan and all the team at Nisos. Once again we find ourselves back from a wonderful holiday in the Ionian - this is our third time with Nisos and this year we treated ourselves to three whole weeks.....absolute bliss! We had Gabriella (Bavaria 44) for the first two weeks, a bold move on our part as she is a relatively large boat for just two people....but she's extremely comfortable, handles beautifully and knowing the Nisos team were never far away made all the difference. For our third week, we sailed Olive (Bavaria 36) - again a perfectly maintained boat and a bit easier to manage! We did have to call the team out a couple of times, but their promptness in sorting out a sick outboard (immediately replaced with a brand new one), and an unhappy charging circuit meant we were not inconvenienced one bit...we just soaked up the sun whilst the team arrived in the high speed RIB and sorted out the problem. We will definately be back, and anyone looking to charter in this part of Greece would be well advised to talk to Nisos. Great team, great place...thanks for making it all work so effortlessly." Chris and Angela Huxtable - Gabriella and Olive - May/June 2010 ![]() "A really great week of cruising. Nisos provided an excellent hassle free service and Gabriella had everything for comfortable living and sailing. We hope to be back soon." - Mike Pleass - Gabriella (Bavaria 44) - June 2010 ![]() "Awesome!! This was our first yachting holiday. we found it memorable, sttetching, fun for all the family, exhilarating and definitely to be repeated. Thanks to all the wonderful people at Nisos." - Susan, Paul, William and Grace Humphrey - Olive (Bavaria 36) - May 2010 ![]() "Just returned from the Ionian after chartering Truly (Bavaria 36) for two weeks. Had a lovely time and the Nisos staff were as wonderful as always. We managed to get up to Paxos and have fallen in love with Lakka - what a wonderful place. Thanks for another couple of great weeks." - Rob and Juliette Kemp - Truly (Bavaria 36) - May 2010 ![]() "We chartered Deep Blue (Bavaria 40) for a week in early June 2010, and thoroughly enjoyed the quality, space and comfort shegave us. Deep Blue was a pleasure to sail and everyone in our party has gained great experience with lasting memories. The use of a yacht allows you to see aspects of Greece that are not available to the average land based tourists. Although we were relative novices and had no problems with the yacht, it was reassuring to know that the Nisos Team were readily at hand. Thoroughly recommended!" - Brain Andrews - Deep Blue (Bavaria 40) - June 2010 ![]() "Having used a number of other companies this was the first time that we used Nisos for our bareboat charter. We were absolutely delighted with their service from start to finish and are looking forward to our next visit to the Ionian with Nisos, already!" - David Lund - Good News (Bavaria 34) - May 2010 ![]() "This is the second time we have used Nisos and again we have had a stunning experience - it just keeps getting better and better. Not only did having Richard as a skipper help us relax, we learned a huge amount in the week. He truly became part of our group and enhanced the whole experience." - Jeremy and Nicky Louden - Deep Blue (Bavaria 40) - May 2010 - skippered charter ![]() "Very friendly, fast and efficient, the best boat we have chartered in Greece. Particularly liked the short, relaxed transfer from airport to the base and quick turnarounds." - Pippa Hyam - Constance (Bavaria 37) - May 2010 ![]() "We returned to Nisos again this year because of the good experience we had in 2009, and once again we had a great holiday. It is very reassuring to know that if you have any problems with your boat, they will be sorted promptly by Laurie and his team. Everyone involved is relaxed, friendly and helpful. Thanks - and see you next year!" - Chris Norris - Constance (Bavaria 37) - May 2010
"We had huge expectations of the Nisos service. These were surpassed at all times. The freedom to depart the quay almost immediately on day 1 and not return to base until the last morning was a particularly welcome touch. It made the holiday seem longer and make transfer days much less stressful for us. Just fantastic. Thank you so much. We also felt that the standard of yacht cleaning far surpassed anything we have experienced before from your competitors. We had an engine query and the instant response from the team was welcome. Good News is an older boat than we had chartered previously, but she has been well maintained and cleaner than many newer yachts we have previously chartered from other operators." - Peter Harrison - Good News (Bavaria 34) - May 2010 ![]() "We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday aboard Captain Jack in the Ionian and would recommend anyone to book with Nisos. The yacht was in superb order and well equipped. The cheerful and friendly service we received from Rowan in the UK and the team in Lefkas was second to none." - Dama O'Neil - Captain Jack (Jeanneau 45DS) - May 2010 |
