 Flotilla yacht charter: The Newbold Family, Kent

Hi Jonny and Ruth, I just wanted to drop you both a line and thank you for what will be one of our most memorable holidays ever.

The boat was just perfect. Everything on it was in perfect condition and operated flawlessly making us the envy of everyone we met on our brief tour of the South Ionian Islands. From the set of high quality cooking knives, quality binoculars, ground tackle and so on through to the brand new tender and outboard, everything was as good if not better than the equipment I would put on my own boat.

Just a short email to thank you for a lovely holiday – the boat was superb and it was nice to have the personal touch of a small company. We would not hesitate to use your company again and will recommend you to friends who also sail.

Many thanks again and good luck for the rest of the season.

Skippered yacht charter: The Massarella Family, Sheffield

We were delighted with the yacht which was well equipped, clean and comfortable for our family sailing. Dave was a great personality to have as skipper within our family environment; he was knowledgeable about the islands and helped the children and me to learn a little about sailing.

The Creswell Family, Dorset

10/10. Excellent boat in great condition with very helpful, friendly team. Levkas marina is a very good start point: supermarkets, showers, tavernas, 'Zorbas' for final breakfast, swimming pool, no traffic and lots of other boats to admire!

Flotilla Sailing Greece (North Ionian flotilla) Rhian & Andrew, Somerset

Thanks for all your hard work on the boat to ensure that our sailing was trouble free. Pre holiday support and planning advise was fantastic. The Bavaria 32 handles really well and was certainly suitable for short handed sailing.

Bareboat Charter Greece: Ryan, Will, Oggy, Fiona & Phoebe

Being a first time 'skipper' on a charter, I think the information and advice prior to the trip was invaluable and I was impressed by how quickly queries were answered, so thank you! Also the FAQ section on your website is massively useful. I think being very clear about what the charter includes is also a positive, I knew exactly what I had paid for and what to budget for, which meant no hidden costs.

"Thank you so much for such a stress-free holiday!! The yacht is fantastic and you provided everything that we would need. Actually, we had much more and it really felt like "5 star" on the water!! fantastic! The service you provide is first class. Booking the holiday was very straightforward. Our skipper Gary, who we had with us for the first day, was lovely and bursting with knowledge of the islands. This week was just perfect. Thank you again and hopefully we'll be back next year!!. - Lou & Chris August 2010      

"We have had a very nice & happy time. Alina was a lovely clean yacht - she sailed very well & economical under engine. She achieved 7 knots GPS speed in a good breeze. Thank you Jonny & Ruth for a friendly & courteous welcome & booking advise".  - Taffy Jones, West Kirby Lifeboat September 2010 

"We have been to the Ionian many times before but found the friendliest, biggest and most professional welcome ever from Jonny and Ruth and the Island Sailing team. Everything was sorted for us including transfers and a large welcome pack and to top it all a fabulous boat which drew lots of attention from admirers throughout our stay. The new Bavaria sailed like a dream and I shall have no problems recommending Island Sailing to my customers back home at our sailing School Outrun Sailing on Lake Windermere and have no doubts we will be back next year". Simon & Sally September 2010 

"Excellent yacht. Great service. We would all highly recommend you." The Pannell family September/October 2010
