Testimonials

This was our 7th bareboat charter around Greece and the Greek islands. Once we found Luxury Catamarans, it was plain sailing. We chose a larger but older catamaran this time – the cost was not just competitive but a lot cheaper than all other competitors. Unfortunately the boat we had booked was damaged the week before so a newer and bigger boat – with flushing toilets 🙂 was booked as a replacement for us. Early pickup was good, check in and check out were easy. We had 1 issue whilst sailing, we called the owner (who we had met at check-in) and they resolved the issue. Will definitely be booking again with Luxury Catamarans

If you have ever dreamed of chartering a private catamaran, DO IT! We chartered around the Cyclades in Greece for a week and it was nothing short of amazing. Luxury Catamarans made the process so easy and answered my million questions with kindness and patience. Penelope the customer coordinator could not have been more helpful. Our captain Themos kept us safe during days of high winds while showing us a great time. Our hostess Aimilia was as sweet as sugar and made us food better than anything we ate in restaurants. We will definitely be chartering with this company again.

From the first contact Luxury catamarans excelled in communication. Booking a charter half way around the world, is a little daunting for a first timer… if only to ensure you are not being skammed.
From starting our negotiations with Stelios, through to all the preparations and concierge services with Penelope, these people are the best. and LEGITMATE!
Nothing was two much trouble, ever. From transfers to menus, to changes in plans (weather) or itinerary adjustments.

A week touring the Ionian Islands, two families on a Lagoon 620 (19m). Wonderful. I can honestly say this was one of our best holidays.

The uniqueness of every day was for me what it so special. Privacy, flexibility, seeing Greece in a way not possible unless on a boat. Food was exceptional, service was exceptional; facilities on the boat and their experience and inside knowledge of the islands was exceptional. Nothing too much trouble.

Thank you Captain Kostas, Anna and Yannis. A truly special crew.

A really great way to see Greece. We hope to repeat one day for sure!

We had a wonderful time sailing from Split to Dubrovnik. We booked a Golet with Luxury Catamarans for a family of 13 and it was truly an incredible experience. Mario and his crew were fantastic and in all it exceeded our expectations. Would sincerely recommend it!

Our vacation was amazing!! Boat was great, crew really nice and Greece Islands and bays were superb. Everything work out as planned or even better.

Thank you to Penelope and Stelios for organizing our sailing yacht holiday in the ionion,
Very well organized and everything was as expected.
Great time and memories

It was an amazing experience thank you to Eva from Cavo yachting and Penelope for arranging our trip. We saw many fabulous islands and visited beautiful beaches in the Ionian the captian Pantelis and the chef Nikos was outstanding and gave us great service. Our kids were entertained all day with activities and was so happy thank you again will visit next year
Wishing your company great success
From the Maratheftis family and colleagues from Cyprus

An amazing trip around the Ionian islands on the power cat ChristAl MiO. We sailed over 500 NM via the Corinth channel within one week, and had glorious weather and calm waters. The crew were exceptional: a very experienced Captain, a superb chef who made some of the best local food we have ever tasted; an engaging stew, who met our every need and provided fun and laughter; plus Panos, who is a true captain in waiting and delivered on all of our activity needs on the water.
The trip was very well organized by George and Penelope, who ensured every detail was pre planned and we could relax once aboard. A trip of a lifetime!

The Ionians are just amazing. Crystal clear water, amazing anchorages with lots of opportunities to be stern to, fabulous towns along the way, our 6&7 year old never asked for a screen, and I read 2 books – unheard of! Our yacht had everything we needed and the staff were super helpful at getting us onboard/underway at check in and then on arrival back to port getting everything checked off efficiently. The town/where we spent the last night in Lefkada was absolutely humming. The square was packed, was such an awesome atmosphere and so great to be back in Europe in the summer

Thank you To Stelios and his team for a seamless once in a lifetime experience. This is the third year in a row we spent a week on a catamaran cruising the Greek islands. Both previous experiences using Luxury Catamarans were phenomenal and our family had a tremendous time.

This year’s experience however was next-level. Truly white glove concierge service while helping us coordinate a once in a lifetime, 70 person, 11 boat Armada. All logistics, planning, scheduling and one-off requests were expertly managed by LC allowing us to have a carefree, stress-free week. Thank you again!

If you are considering a chartered boat vacation do yourself a favor, contact Stelios and just ask him to plan a trip for your family as if he was planning one for his. You will not be disappointed.

Everything was fantastic, great itinerary, and an amazing crew.
They were all extremely professional, gave us great service, we could not ask for more

This is the second year in a row we have worked with Luxury Catamarans and the expert team Stellios, Christos and Penelope. In 2022 we chartered around the Greek Saronic Islands and this year we toured the Islands and coastline of Croatia. The team are highly responsive and find you exactly what you want to match the budget that you have. Could you find cheaper by going direct to a charter company, likely. But you are taking a gamble and creating much more work for yourself. Having worked with LC twice now, we felt that they take all of the guess work out of it and have done all the necessary due diligence so you are guaranteed to work with only the best charter company in the area. They are transparent on all the additional costs and extras and once you have decided on your yacht there is very little else to worry about. They connect you with the local provisioning agent, hire your water toys for you so they are loaded onto the boat, organize skippers and hostesses and will even recommend nearby hotels and organize airport transfers. Every time we have been thrilled with our choice of catamaran, absolutely loved our skipper and have had the time of our lives. Highly recommend

Planning a trip abroad and hiring a boat for a week was a very daunting task. We spoke to many different companies but Luxury Catamarans made everything easy and comfortable. Penelope was our main point of contact. She was responsive and very helpful. She also helped arrange transports for us and made recommendations. The boat was exactly as advertised and it was amazing. Our captain, Stavros, was beyond wonderful! The owner the boat met us at the end of our trip to see how things went. This was a trip of a lifetime, 100 stars highly recommend!

Second year in a row doing 1 week catamaran trip and the experience is amazing!

Done it in Greece and Croatia spectacular trip.

Dealing with Luxury Catamarans was easy and smooth the guys behind it are very friendly and helpful (Christos-Penelope) they manage to give us the best service for our trip.

The catamaran was clean, luxury and well equipped we added some water activities such as stand up paddles and a seabob.

This will be an annual trip for my friends and I with luxury catamaran.

Since the beginning i have always received a reply to my queries and every question was promptly answered.
Penelope was ready to offer me tips and organize transportation at the beginning of our trip even before we boarded.
The 46” cat was in an excellent state and we were very comfy in all aspects.
Maybe we could have had a once-a-week change in bedlinen but this is a small detail.
Also, i would suggest different bath towels colors for each cabin to avoid confusion.
Last but not least, our crew was simply outstanding, our skipper Dimitris experienced and careful, always ready to assist us when embarking and disembarking, good willing, helpful in all ways and smiling all day. Our host Gravoulis, as sympathetic and attentive as someone could be, caring for the children at their every whim, and specially towards us adults always ready to pamper us. Food was excellent and prepared with care ,’you could feel that he loved his job. Would recommend both of them for friends without hesitation.

I found Luxury Catamarns on Google and immediately felt comfortable with what I read about them. The booking process was easy and transparent and I had a lady called Penelope Cholidou assigned to our holiday who was super efficient, polite and very easy to work with throughout the entire process. Any question I asked was quickly answered and she always got back to me within 24 hours or less. I booked a Lagoon 46 catamaran for 7 days for 8 guests and we set sail from Rogoznica in Croatia and had the most fantastic time. The boat was very spacious and comfortable and had various sitting/sunbathing areas to enjoy. We decided to hire a skipper as none of us had sailed in Croatia before and I throughly recommend doing so. His name was Carlo Bilich and he was outstanding. He has a lot of experience for someone so young and he speaks excellent English. He also know’s where to go in terms of the best restaurants (which he booked for us) and we ate extremely well (Croatia has excellent food and wine to enjoy). He made everyone’s holiday and was a joy to have at our table! All in all I can throughly recommend Luxury Catamarans and we will be booking again. Thank you.

Luxury Catamaran was a pleasure to deal with! We have used other companies in the past and have been disappointed with extra charges and boats being changed. Our guest coordinator Penelope was amazing! Everything was as promised and fees were all explained ahead of time so our vacation was perfect. Our Skipper, Petros, was probably the best part of our trip. He was beyond knowledgeable and just a pleasure to be around. He was part of our family by the time we finished our week. Can’t say enough about our amazing week in Greece!!

My 8 friends and I had the possibility to go around Croatia aboard the luxurious Lagoon 5 offered by Luxury Catamarans, for a full week. Our experience couldn’t have been better, from the Skipper to the hostess and the guest coordinator, everybody that worked for the Luxury Catamarans provided us with a great vacation and unforgettable journey.

During our trip we were able to talk to our Skipper about our preferred stops to sail to, we were able to enjoy a brisk sail about the catamaran and moor in the most incredible hidden beaches with pristine blue water. Our guest coordinator made sure we had everything needed in the boat upon arrival, and our hostess made sure to keep the boat always tidy and ready for the next day.

We will definitely be traveling again with Luxury Catamarans, and are already looking forward to book our next adventure in some of the other destinations were they offer vessels!!

We had an excellent time. The selection and proposal of the vessel was incredible. Smooth and and easy procedure until the embarkation. The support from Penelope was incredible give her a raise please!

We were 5 couples and worked with Stelios for at least one year putting together all our needs, requests. He was extremely helpful and patient. We had many questions
for a year,. He recommended the 52 Valium which was great. Our crew was beyond our expectations. Captain Grigoris was very friendly and made sure we had a good trip and safe considering the Meltemi winds at the end.
Stella our chef prepared excellent cuisine that we enjoyed so much that we barely
ate out. She worked hard to please everyone and had us trying new dishes.
Natalia our hostess was also awesome. She waited on us and made sure we had everything we needed. She spoiled us. We were all sad when our trip was over. Our crew became our friends. We all felt this was the best trip and wonderful experience. And we loved the Greek Islands. We highly recommend.

group of us decided to charter a catamaran last minute and we scrambled to find a boat! I reached out to Luxury Catamaran and they were able to pull a miracle out of their hat! First praise goes to Christos at LC . After many emails and calls he suggested we take a hard look at a boat and crew out of Naxos! The extra flight to Naxos from Athens was the best decision we made!
Our catamaran was stunning! The captain and hostess welcomed us with open arms! Attention to detail was over the top. I strongly recommend you have a call with your captain and hostess before the trip to avoid any disappointment re: itinerary and amenities. Fedra our hostess shopped for us, she took the stress of shopping in a new country off our plate and she did an amazing job! We ate and drank the entire week like kings and queens! Her cooking was outstanding!!!! Everything made from scratch and made with “love”
Captain Pandelis was nothing short of amazing. He took time to understand where we wanted to go, what we wanted to see and curated the most amazing trip that none of us will forget. He took us to beautiful islands and introduced us to the uniqueness of each port. He introduced us to his friends and families that worked on the islands and took us to amazing dinner spots and set us up for excursions that left no rock unturned on each island! We are family with this crew and we will forever have them in our lives.
On our last sail the Gods treated us to a chariot of dolphins that swam with the catamaran into Naxos for over 40 minutes of playful dancing in the sea and gave us all an overwhelming end to our trip!
We would like to thank Penelope from Luxury Catamaran for constantly checking in with us and making sure all attention to detail were looked after.
We will book with Luxury Catamaran again next year, not sure how to too this trip, but we look forward to seeing another part of the world by sea!
Thank you everyone for such an amazing and memorable trip!
Kim

We had the most excellent trip in the Cyclades of Greece! For a sailor like me, it was a dream come true…Meltami winds did not disappoint. Nagia and Penelope of luxurycatamarans.com of Athens were excellent in getting us thru almost 3 years of Covid postponements…their communication and professionalism was OUTSTANDING!!!

Our crew, Carlo and Sara were spot on for all that we had asked for ahead of time, including our islands to visit! And the most beautiful blue bays I have ever seen!

If I could recommend anything to future sailors, select the Ionians if you want lite winds and calm water for the non sailors aboard.

Fair winds to you

Kimberly & Sonja

We were 10 people – 2 families of 5 and we had a wonderful crew with us. Kids ages were from 6-16. Everything went smooth from the moment we reached out to the company to the moment we arrived and sailed. The catamaran was fantastic and spacious for all of us. We had the best time ever!! We will definitely book again!

This was our first experience if sailing around the Greek Islands, and Luxury catamarans did not disappoint. They arranged a car from the airport and on arrival were taken straight onto the Catamaran to start our 7 day sail around the Saronic Islands. The boat was a lagoon 45 and was spacious for 4 persons and 2 crew with plenty of outdoor space and comfortable cabins. The islands we visited were all amazing and our crew could not do enough to make this one of our best holidays ever. We will deffinatley be coming back next year.

From start to finish a great experience bareboat chartering with luxury catamarans. We had a lovely Elba 45 cat in the Ionian. Check in and check out was thorough and seem less and I enjoyed being able to WhatsApp the shore crew with any questions I had throughout our week long charter. Will defo charter through luxury catamarans again.

My family and I sailed (well we did not really sail because the winds were too strong!!!) on the beautiful Lagoon 46 Filipppos Catamaran from Mykonos. The service from Luxury Catamaran was excellent. The team of Stellios and Penelope was very responsive and answered all of our questions prior to the trip.
Our skipper, Georgios, was very helpful and experienced. He brought us to many small isolated areas where we could experience incredible scenery.
As noted above, the only disappointment was that the winds were very strong through the week so we could not really sail. But we heard this has been the case for most of July in the Cyclades this year.
I highly recommend the service from Luxury Catamaran to plan you next escape to Greek islands.

Undoubtedly the best experience my family and I had !
The service from the whole team Stelios Chris and Penelope was exceptional from the first moment to the latest.
The vessel,the crew, the itinerary were all great and according to our preferences. Definitely going to be back for another unique experience.

We recently went on a one week charter sail through Luxury Catamarans on the Lagoon 450, Annie, including hiring a skipper and hostess through the company. We could not have asked for a better overall experience, starting from the booking process, the responsiveness from my main contact (Penelope), the skipper, Antonis and our hostess, Despina. Everything was amazing. The company was super easy to work with, the boat was beautiful and the skipper and hostess were extremely helpful. This was our first time doing a vacation like this and we would do it again in a heartbeat. Antonis provided tons of information about the islands, Greece, etc and was able to customize a sailing experience that completely met our needs. Despina did all of the shopping, cooking, cleaning and provided exceptional meals while we were on board. Highly highly highly recommend this company and the services that they provide. We will be back.

Highly recommended!! Excellent service and super responsive from beginning to end of the trip. Amazing experience overall. Would definitely repeat booking with them

This was the second time that we have used luxury Catamarans, we are in the process of booking through them again next year. Their service is excellent and the booking process and communication went along without any complications. I would certainly recommend them.

Stelios went above and beyond helping us find and staff the best catamaran for our summer vacation in Greece. Everything was smooth and well explained, and we couldn’t be more pleased. Will definitely use them again for any future charters!

We travelled with another family and we all had a fantastic time! Our crew – Apostolis and Katerina – took such good care of us. They introduced us to lesser-known islands and wonderful Greek food. They made reservations for us, encouraged us to step out of our comfort zones, and helped us “chase the sunshine” to beautfiul coves and ports. They even handled the one “hiccup” we had with our anchor.

The staff I worked with to book the trip was very profressional and very much wanted us to have a great time. They were timely with their responses and very accommodating when we had to change our plans due.

The staff at luxury catamarans is excellent, so attentive, the phone is always answered by a staff member who is willing to help and answer any questions you might have. Luxury catamarans was able to find the catamaran we were looking for which all the other companies were not able to find. We are already planning our trip for next year and without question we will use the services of luxury catamarans

I was so glad I chose Luxury Catamarans. The boat first and foremost was spacious, clean, and beautiful. Secondly, the captain was extremely kind and funny, and the staff personnel was super informative about the island where he even gave us tips on must do for remainder of our stay. The were both very attentive and always made sure we had a drink in our hand. The food they cooked was traditional Greek and was a feast. Super delicious which I was surprised about!

The team at Luxury Catamarans exceeded our expectations at every turn. We looked an all girls holiday for a week of sun, sea and island hopping in Croatia. From start to finish, everything was coordinated for us at an excellent price. The boat was phenomenal and we felt at home right away.

Our skipper Goran and hostess, Sunny, were absolutely sensational. They made us feel so taken care of and their knowledge of local spots was unbeatable. We had the best time and we will never forget this trip! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing and authentic experience on any of the European coasts.

Absolutely the best vacation of our lives. From the first call to Stelios, to Nagia and then onto the crew, what an amazing experience.
Captain George was so incredible, informative and experienced.
The crew was fantastic and a big shout out to Tatiana, amazing chef.
We loved this trip so much, we rebooked for 2023.

We have traveled on business and pleasure to over 40 countries around the world for many years. After this wonderful experience, I can say with very high sincerity that the Luxury Catamarans team clearly set the new standard for us in executive white glove service.

Trip of a lifetime that exceeded all of our expectations.
In a challenging environment with Covid restrictions still present we enjoyed a truly relaxing and enjoyable vacation.
Everything from beginning to end was as advertised and no issues whatsoever.
Big thanks to Stelios for helping with the arrangements, to Nargia for the processing and more importantly to Captain Andreas & Katerina, our lovely hostess who went over and beyond on anything we needed and wanted.

Undoubtedly the best experience my family and I had !
The service from the whole team Stelios Chris and Penelope was exceptional from the first moment to the latest.
The vessel,the crew, the itinerary were all great and according to our preferences. Definitely going to be back for another unique experience.

There are certain trips that fall into the category of “trip of a lifetime” and sailing for a week around Mykonos and the neighboring islands definitely ticked that box. It was incredible to just stop at random coves and swim or sail between the larger islands. Every step of the trip was well organized by friendly and professional staff. We have three young boys (ages 3,5&8) and they couldn’t have had a better time. The captain and hostess were great – they were amazing with the kids and we hope to travel with them next year as well. Thank you to the staff and organizers.

We worked with Stelios Zacharakis while planning for the catamaran charter and he was the best! Stellios helped us to select the yacht that was perfect for our family of 8 sailing for the first time and visiting Greece for the first time. With his advice we were able to visit as many Cyclades islands as possible including the not well known Koufonisia (was amazing!) and enjoy the time on Lagoon 450 Silver Pearl catamaran. He responded to all my questions, provided tips for the first time visitors to Greece and was available for any questions or inquiries. He followed up with us to make sure everything works well. I would highly recommend Luxury Catamarans and especially working with Stelios. We came back with amazing memories and hope to be back one day.
We had a great skipper assigned to our charter, Mr. Tzaferos Thanasis, “Thanos” who knew everything about islands and everyone. He was super helpful and we feel great being in his company.
Irina and the family

We had the most wonderful 7 days travelling with our fabulous Skipper and Hostess who looked after us so well and became part of our family
The catamaran was top notch – exactly as promised by Stelios who helped us through the whole booking process for over 8 months. Communication was easy, clear and responsive and everything went perfectly to plan. I recommend this company and the crew wholeheartedly.
The only thing I’d recommend is to have clarity about when the vessel is available for boarding on day 1. We were told to arrive at midday but the vessel was not available to 5 pm and we were in the heat the whole time which was not pleasant. Soon forgotten though once we were aboard! Thank you all for everything

We just finished a week long trip around Croatia!!! Not only did Luxury Catamarans help me pick the perfect boat, they were beyond helpful in terms of airport transfers, packing lists, sailing routes, etc. They were Extremely attentive and responded promptly to all my questions. They eased any nerves I had and I Couldn’t have planned a better trip without them. Our trip was seamless and absolute perfection! We will be using them for all our sailing trips in the future.

I was really impressed with the service given by George. He was always quick to respond and provided me all the information I needed. He offered a really nice catamaran at a very attractive price for us. I’ve shopped around in many places but George gave me by far the best deal out of all the vendors I inquired. We loved the catamaran and the service and entire experience was very pleasant.

We had an incredible experience sailing through the Ionian Islands using the services of Luxury Catamarans. This was our 3rd time chartering a catamaran out of Lefkas and the service experience was the best so far. We enjoyed a brand new Bali 41 which was in immaculate condition, the pre-departure briefing was very informative and the hand-over at the end of the charter without fuss or problems. Only wish we could have had more time to enjoy these islands again, but we will be back Luxury Catamarans.
