VasilisEingetreten February 2020

Φοβερή εμπειρία! Είχαμε και τα παιδιά μαζί ..περάσαμε υπέροχα! Μας έκαναν όλα τα χατίρια,έμειναν όλοι ευχαριστημένοι.. εννοείται πως θα το οργανώσουμε ξανά!

Ιστιοπλοΐα με τον καλύτερο skipper τον Βασίλη και τον Πειρατή του!!! Μας πήγε στα καλύτερα το σκάφος πολύ άνετο είχαμε και 5 παιδιά μαζί και περάσαμε όλοι τέλεια !!!

Absolutely recommend this wonderful experience! Vasilis is a wonderful skipper who clearly loves what he is doing and his joy is infectious. I was lucky enough to go on two day trips with both boats and had two completely dreamy days. The food and snacks are just perfect (thank you, Nadia!) and the dog Piratis is the best mascot a sailing boat could have. Going on a trip with a rather small group instead of a boat packed with people makes it feel like a private trip. Vasilis knows the hidden bays with fantastically clear water and there's nothing quite like jumping right in as soon as he anchor drops. Looking forward to all the trips to come. A big thank you to the whole crew!

Nous avons passé une excellente journée. Vasili aime ce qu il fait et veut faire plaisir à ses clients en organisant la journée comme ils le souhaitent et en leur offrant des plats cuisinés avec des produits locaux .La cuisine de Nadia était excellente. Le bateau est magnifique et très confortable.

Had a lovely day sailing the captain was fabulous in that one of our party was a little unsteady on their feet but he helped on and off the boat. The inlets he took us to to swim where fabulous lovely clear waters. A highly enjoyable day

Il comandante Vasilis e il fido "Pirate" ti fanno partecipare alle loro vacanze con allegria trasmettendoti la passione per la vela e il mare. Bagni in splendide calette e un buon pasto in taverna completano una giornata di vacanze speciale. Complimenti anche al giovane prodiere Klaus molto gentile e attento. Consigliatissimo.

Thank you Bill!!!

Wir haben den Tag auf dem Boot mit Vasilis, seinem netten Helfer und dem originellen Hund Pirat so sehr genossen, dass wir gleich am übernächsten Tag noch einmal gefahren sind! Keine Delfine gesehen und auch wenig Wind zum Segeln gehabt, aber Vasilis hat uns dennoch zwei wunderschöne Tage geboten. Auch bei wenig Wind gibt er sich Mühe „den Wind zu finden“ und so sind wir tatsächlich gesegelt. Schöne Badestops, nette Taverne, aber vor allem Vasilis Herzlichkeit und die Fröhlichkeit des Hundes machen diese Tour zu etwas ganz Besonderen! Jeder darf mithelfen, mal auch steuern, alles ist sehr familiär und wohltuend. Wir kommen wieder!

We went out on the boat with our children and had just the best time. Vasilis (captain) and “Clown Fish” (crew) were great with the kids and taught them some nautical knots. The kids fell in love with “Pirate” the dolphin finding dog... he is a star! Lovely sailing, super swimming and great food at the Taverna on the beach. A day we will always remember - thank you!

Jättehärlig rundtur till Alonissos med bad och snorkling. Vasilis tog hand om oss på bästa sätt! Rekommenderas!

Wir hatten einen traumhaft schönen Tag mit dem Dream-Team Vasilos und seinem Hund Pirate. Die Highlights: kleine Gruppe von 7 Personen, schwimmen im Meer an traumhaften Stellen, der Besuch der Insel Alonnisos und die schönen Gespräche mit Vasilos. Empfehlung: unbedingt machen, jeder Cent wieder. Und mit Kindern ist Pirate ein Highlight.

Helt underbar dag med goa skratt och fantastiska upplevelser! Vasilis och Pirat bjuder på humor och karaktär. Jag o kusinen bokade på plats i hamnen och var inga problem med platser till några dagar fram. Denne utflykt är ett MÅSTE om ni är på Skopelos och vem vill inte nyttja dagen med en mysig hund och en härlig kapten! Kaptenens tonfisk mackor är utöver allt riktigt goda, sedan kan man tacka honom på ett av tre språk. Svenska, engelska eller grekiska. Han talar alla tre flytande. Stort tack för dagen från Elinn och Kajsa!

Fantastisk dag med Vasilis! Rekommenderar alla att ta en tur på havet med honom. Det var en lugn och skön dag med bad och vackra vyer. Tusen tack Vasilis!

Än en gång har jag fått uppleva en alldeles underbar dag tillsammans med Vasilis och skeppshunden Pirati! Vi seglade till Alonissos där vi la till för bad på fantastiskt fina ställen. Vasilis bjöd på goda tonfiskmackor och lite vin. Vi la även till i hamnen där vi åt god mat på en av tavernorna. Om du är på Skopelos får du inte missa denna upplevelse!

Ett minne för livet! Stort tack till Vasilis och gulligaste lilla hunden Pirati för en helt fantastisk dag på havet som vi bär med oss i hjärtat för alltid. Vill varmt rekommendera denna seglingstur. Vattnet är drömlikt klart och turkosblått - helt omöjligt att inte vilja ta sig ett dopp i från båten! Det blev även ett mysigt stopp på grannön Alonissos för lunch innan färden bar av tillbaka mot Skopelos. Höjdpunkten för hela resan! Längtar tillbaka!

Snart har det gått hela tre veckor sedan vi besökte Skopelos och Skiathos. Av alla aktiviteter som vi hittade på så är turen med Vasilis och hunden Pirati det absolut bästa. Ett minne för livet och längtan tillbaka är stor. Hoppas vi ses igen!

Stort tack till dig Vassilis, en äkta och erfaren seglare och din personliga och trevliga hund Pirates. Goda tonfisk mackor ombord, härliga dopp i turkost hav vid paradisstränder, lunch på Alonissos och trevlig samvaro på svenska, engelska och grekiska. Detta är det bästa vi gjort någonsin. Rekommenderas varmt.

Vasilis and Pirate took us on an unforgettable trip around Skopelos and Alonnisos! Vas was a fantastic guide and we absolutely loved our day out at sea. Unfortunately we didn’t see any dolphins today, but Pirate (and his dolphin dance), the hospitality, the people we shared the boat with, and the scenery more than made up for it. The taverna in Alonnisos we stopped for lunch at was great too, would recommend the tuna salad and giant beans. At our first swim spot, we jumped off the boat and enjoyed the clear waters before enjoying a snack of homemade (gluten-free) bread, olives, Vas-caught tuna, pickled sea vegetables and tomato! Worth every penny - wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

We have just returned from a fabulous day out with Vasilis and his gorgeous dog Pirates. We sailed to Alonissos stopping off at various places to swim in the sea. We were lucky enough to see a group of dolphins and even a seal. At Alonissos he took a taxi to the beautiful old town, well worth a visit with ifs postcard views. Vasilis is the perfect host. His knowledge of the local area is fantastic. We have had many boat trips in the past but this is by far the best! If you want a trip with a difference we would highly recommend this. Thank you Vasilis and little Pirates from Stephanie and Paul

This trip with vasilis and pirate the dog was magical. We experienced a day of sailing, sightseeing good food and swimming in the sea. This is worth every penny and our skipper worked very hard to make it a time to remember. Pirate the dog is totally adorable and loves to have cuddles and playtime in the sea. I can’t fault this in any way except it had to end. Thank you for our magical day.

If you are looking at going on a sailing trip this one is highly recommended you sail to Alonnisos with a couple of stops of for swimming and a little time to spend in Alonnisos as well for lunch you are also joined by Pirate the dog who is is the cutest dog ever 🐶 do not hesitate to book this trip you will definitely enjoy yourself.

I loved the trip to Alonissos and around. Small company of people, great captain and cute dog ❤️ The water wasn’t calm, but it was more fun! Anyway for swimming the places are hidden from the wind. Thank you for that day!

Are u looking for a sailing trip ? Just sailing , then you are right with Vassilis and his dog Pirates . He sails To Alonissos. Snacks and water on board . For lunch you go to a tavern at Alonissos. as Vassilis says He is a sailor not a chef 😂😂😂 Max 9 guests on board . Just relaxing and very nice .

Μια εκδρομή στο θαλάσσιο πάρκο και τις παραλίες της Αλοννήσου, η οποία θα μείνει χαραγμένη στη μνήμη μας για τα επόμενα χρονια! Η φιλοξενία του πολύπειρου καπετάν Βασίλη ήταν θαυμάσια ! Μας φίλεψε πεντανοστημους μεζέδες απο ποιοτικά υλικά, προετοιμασμενους με μεράκι. Αυτό όμως που απόλαυσα περισσότερο ήταν η πρώτη επαφή που είχα με την ιστιοπλοΐα, η οποία με έβαλε σε σκέψεις για τη συνέχεια...Βασίλη,η Αννα κι εγω θα θέλαμε να σε ευχαριστήσουμε για τις όμορφες στιγμές που μοιραστήκαμε και σου ευχόμαστε ο,τι καλύτερο!Υ.Γ.: Προσοχή!Ο παιχνιδιάρικος πειρατής κλέβει καρδιές!

We had the best day sailing with Vasilis and his lovely dog Pirate. Vasilis is an excellent host and passionate and very knowledgeable about the local area, and we felt very safe in his hands. His boat is beautiful and spotless. We can’t wait to go sailing with Vasilis and Pirate again when we are next back in Skopelos! Chloe and Rob

Vasilis and Pirate are amazing hosts, we felt comfortable and relaxed on their boat. It was a windy day so we enjoyed proper sailing experience. Vasilis let the kids try the wheel and navigate the boat for a while. If you are at Skopelos port, thinking which boat to chose for a day trip - don’t think twice!

We went for a sailing day with 3 stops to swim in the turquoise waters. It was fantastic. We sailed to Alonissos, where we stayed for lunch and we spotted dolphins on our return journey. Pirate the dog and captain Vasilis were excellent hosts. I would definitely recommend this very relaxing full day sailing trip.

Had a super day with Vassilyev and his dog Pirate who is a great swimmer and sailor! We were lucky to see dolphins too. Unmissable day out 😎😌

Vassily is a wonderful captain and host, accompanied by THE perfect sea-dog companion, Piratis (Pirate). Together, they host you on their gorgeous Beneteau 41, one of the world's finest sailboats. It was my birthday, so Vassily gave me a lot of time at the helm. The boat is wonderfully responsive, although it took me a while to master how much it responded to the lightest touch. Everyone who wished got a turn at the wheel, much to the delight of 6-year-old Annabelle. OK, everyone delighted at playing captain for this stunning craft. We sailed out of Skopelos' lovely port, across the bay to a secluded cove with crystal clear waters on the island of Alonnisos. By now, our party - an Italian couple, a German family, my husband and our host and I - were all great pals. We swam together, played with Pirate, and enjoyed a wonderful tavern lunch in the charming inlet of Patitiri. We dined as a group, in true European family fashion. Our table shared three freshly grilled fish, salads, beer, grilled eggplant, on a covered patio overlooking the harbor. The afternoon winds were milder, so we motored partway back, looking for dolphins and the wild goats that are among the sole occupants of St. George's Island. An absolutely perfect day on the water, in the magical Greek Islands. One of my favorite sailing trips ever in a long life of sea-going.

Tack Vasilis för en magisk, privat tur med snorkling, fantastiska vyer och underbara upplevelser. Stort tack också till Pirates, den fina hunden som förgyllde vår dag. Rekommenderas starkt. Skepparen pratar grekiska, engelska och till vår förvåning, även svenska :).

The captain and crew were amazing. You have many boat options on the island and yeah you can save some money taking a bigger boat with more people but you only live once and taking this small sailing boat was memorable and the highlight of the trip. The dog pirate is so adorable and totally makes the trip unique and the fearless captain gave us a taste of his family made tradition and shared with us his life. If you want to make a memory here is a good place to start on the cute island of Skopelos.

We had a lovely day of fun in the sun, exploring the coast of Alonnisos - I would recommend to all tourists visiting the Sporades (and animal lovers)

To me, no Greek experience is complete without at least one day sailing on the sea, and Skopelos is a perfect departure point. There is nothing better than the sound of the wind in the sails, the views of the islands' towering golden cliffs, with the gorgeous blue of the Aegean all around you. It is both exhilarating and absolutely soothing. I won't go into great detail about our journey. I will simply say that it was fantastically enjoyable, and worth every cent. While Vasilis is a very experienced captain, and definitely very responsible, he is also a very relaxed guy, who will absolutely put you at ease. He loves what he does, and it shows. I can't imagine someone not enjoying every minute while on Vasilis' boat.

Un fantástico día con Vasilis y su perrito Pirate, navegando sin prisas, con paradas en calas espectaculares. El precio es más alto que si vas en otro tipo de barco más grande, pero lo compensa el ir menos gente, y así tener una atención más personalizada.

Sailing from Skopelos to Alonissos with Vasilis and his cute dog Pirati was one of the best experiences during my vacation on this beautiful island. This trip will always bring back the best memories of Skopelos. Vasilis is a very knowledgeable skipper that happens to have a wonderful personality to go along with his yacht. We sailed from Skopelos towards Alonissos in the morning, stopped in a breathtaking laguna for some swimming and yacht jumping in a crystal clear emerald colored sea where Pirati was also swimming and having fun along with us:) Then we docked in Alonissos, had a nice lunch in a local taverna and then took a taxi ride to the old town, which I absolutely recommend for its immense charm and atmosphere. On the way back we stopped in another beautiful spot for more swimming and jumping from the yacht fun, had some drinks that Vasilis shared with us and sailed back to Skopelos looking for dolphins along the way. Absolutely recommend sailing with Vasilis!

Vasilis took us out for a day's sail with his crew, Piratis the dog, and we had the best day in our 9 week trip! We sailed, not motored about, and helped trim the sails or other jobs as required. We saw and enjoyed what the Sporades has to offer; fabulous views, fish jumping and beautiful ocean. So much fun and pleasure, thank you Vasilis!!!

We had a wonderful day with Skipper Vasilly and his co-skipper, his adorable dog Pirate. Sailing, swimming, eating at a wonderful taverna at Steni Vala on Alonnisos, enjoying the fabulous blue waters of little coves. I can't recommend this highly enough.

A truly wonderful day with Vasilis and his dog Pirate. Vasilis is a n experienced sailor so I felt very safe and would go with him even in bad weather. The weather was superb although we could have done with more wind. We went to Alonnisis and to the bay of Stali vali for a swim and lunch. We had another swim on the way back to Skopelos in a secluded cove. Thanks for a great day Vasilis and Pirate !,

Totaly worthy experience. We wanted something different than all the other tour boats, more individual and we get it. The Captain Vassilis and Pirate were so friendly, welcoming and nice. Sharing with us very useful infos about islands around, took us to a nice sea food place for lunch and served on the boat his own home made Tsipouro :) I totally recommending to people which want something different, useful and new experience with real sailing boat, flow with a wind. Definitely we will come back.

We went on this day sailing trip in August 2017 whilst staying on Skopelos. It was really great especially as Captain Vasillis has a rather attractive maltese poodle type dog which sails with! We stopped to swim in a very nice cove and then had lunch at a typical Greek taverna on a neighbouring island. Highly recommendable!

Ο κύριος Μπιλης , η Σια και ο σκυλακος "Πειρατης" μας προσέφεραν μια υπέροχη περιήγηση με ιστιοφορο στα ανοιχτά της Σκόπελου μέχρι την Αλόννησο. Φανταστική και φιλόξενη παρέα, πανέμορφα τοπια , όλα συνέθεσαν μια μοναδική εμπειρία που συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα σε κάθε επισκέπτη του νησιού!!

Μια καταπληκτική βόλτα με ιστιοφόρο που πρέπει να ζήσει κάθε επισκέπτης της Σκοπέλου. Τα καταγάλανα νερά, οι πανέμορφες παραλίες, το αεράκι που φούσκωνε τα πανιά, συνθέτουν μια μοναδική εμπειρία. Φυσικά σε αυτό συνέβαλε και η φιλοξενία και η ζεστασιά που προσέφεραν ο καπετάνιος Βασίλης και η κυρία Σία καθώς και η συντροφιά του Πειρατή, του σκυλάκου. Εγώ και η παρέα μου περάσαμε μια αξέχαστη μέρα!!!!!!

It's an amazing experience that I will definitely remember for the rest of my life. It's a day of swimming, sailing, looking at dolphins and all around having a good time. You will get a funny and charismatic captain with 20 years of experience. He took us to a place with crystal clear water, made drinks and snacks. We had dolphins swimming right next to and even under the boat. 10/10 would recommend.

Great day out today with Capt Vasillis, Sia & Piratis, fun for all the family, made new friends with the Torok family from Hungary. Thank you for such a wonderful experience very happy to recommend this trip as a highlight of a holiday in Skopelos - hope to see you next year!

We had a fantastic day today with Vasilli Sia and Peirates. Smooth sailing despite rough seas to start. Fantastic scenery and stops at beautiful bays for swimming. Superb Tuna salad in Alanissos for lunch then more swimming in secluded bays. No dolphins today but just makes us want to do it again. If you're in Skopelos you should make time for this trip.

Μια φανταστική μέρα μέ τον Βασίλη την Σία και φυσικά τον Πειρατή, απο την Σκοπελο στην Αλονησο με τις υπεροχες παραλιες και την καταπληκτική πολη. Ο Βασιλης αψογος καπετανιος και υπεροχη παρέα. Ο δε Πειρατής όλα τα λεφτά. Απο τα πραγματα που πρέπει να κανει οπωσδήποτε καποιος κατα την διανομή του στην Σκόπελο.

I was very fortunate to join a sailing trip to Alonnisos with six other guests. The weather was perfect - the company suburb. Vasillis creates a very relaxed atmosphere - this was my first sailing experience and absolutely loved it. Anyone considering a sailing trip should share the experience with Vasilis & Pirati (the cutest dog ever) Peaceful chilled & totally relaxing - we stopped at beautiful scenic bays to swim in crystal clear waters then lunched in Alonnisos town. Following lunch we took a taxi to the old town views of which was stunning! & the orange cake sublime.

We went sailing for the first time with Vasiiis on Easter day 2011 to Steni Vala on the neighboring island of Alonissos. Ever since, we have enjoyed our special days with Vasilis on Thasos (his comfortable sailing boat). He has taken us to many destinations on Alonissos, a spectacular and intimate island a few miles away from Skopelos. I highly recommend a day tour or a longer excursion. Vasilis is an accomplished sailor and he loves this part of the Aegean. For a couple year now, you can can enjoy the company of Piratis, the on-board dog and show master (as well as second in command).

If you are looking for a unique and personalised day sailing the islands around Skopelos, then you can't go past this yacht. Vasilus and his dog Pirati made us all feel very welcome as we boarded, and Vasilus got us all working as we put the sails up! We enjoyed chatting about the islands, and all lunched at the same Taverna. Some of us went for a swim in the sea at Alonisis, while others walked the picturesque streets. It was a fabulous conclusion to a holiday 'living like a local', and I would heartily recommend him to you.

Tack för en heldag med underbara upplevelser, fantastiskt att själv få Segla i dessa vatten, då man är van från segling i Sundet här hemma. Dagen förgylldes av en toppen kapten med maskoten Pirate. Kan varmt rekommendera denna heldags utflykt. Vi kommer åter.

Had a blast sailing one week in the aegean sea. Experienced the most fabulous Greek beaches across the Sporades, Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonissos. Hidden beaches that can only be reached with boat. Turquoise and crystal clear waters. Vasilis the most talented and best skipper that loves his job and it shows with the way he treats his clients and how he wants to please everyone. He knows the hidden and most pitoresque beaches round the Sporades. We had the most amazing, lazy and colorful vacations ever. Piratis (pirate), the skippers lovely dog, was entertaining everyone on the boat and also around us at the harbours. The cutest pumi I have seen. Would recommend a cruise trip with Vasilis and his Thasos ship and Piratis of course.

Top day out with the skipper and pirate went to gorgeous places and a top place for lunch😊,and met two young couples from Italy and sweden really nice day out

Nous avons passé une journée en compagnie de Vasilis et de son copilote Piratis, qui nous a fait découvrir les magnifiques criques d'Alonissos. Bonne humeur, bon déjeuner sur le port d'Alonissos, baignades, fou-rires avec les pitreries de Piratis, c'était magique! Merci!

Had one of the best days of my life sailing the waters of skopelos and allonisos with the captain and his gorgeous mate piraat! Such a hospitable man Vasili made us so welcome and took us to the most beautiful places on his impeccably well keep sailing boat.

We had such a memorable day with Vasili and his first mate Pirate. He took us to more remote beaches with unbelievable waters. You can definitely tell he loves what he does. If you are looking for a true sailing experience with a Greek sailor and not a barbeque or booze cruise, look no further. This is the real deal.

Had the most fabulous day sailing the blue waters of skopelos and Allonisos with vasilli and his 4 legged crew mate Pirate. If your a dog lover, pirate will steal your heart. Vasilli is a wonderful host with extensive knowledge and experience in these parts. We felt right at home onboard and the kids had the time of their lives. Highly recommend this is a must do day if staying in skopelos.
