Sunsail: UK Avis 308

Have just been on the Elaphiti flotilla (week of 26 Aug) and had the most wonderful time. Cannot speak highly enough of our lead crew, Liv (leader), Claudia (hostess) and Ella (engineer). So refreshing to have an all female team in charge and they really made such an effort with daily challenges, as well as seamless organisation of getting everyone in safely. Great job you guys, hope our paths cross again. Much love, the team from Digestiva - Lesley, Dan, Genevieve, Sam, Hector and Calypso

Very good nice area to sail . One piece advice, before you leave , is pre book boat marinas before your trip if you go bare boat . Difficult to get into marinas on the Italian Amalfi Coast. Luigi is very helpful as are the rest of shore crew.
Capri is a rip off - nice to see but a tourist super yacht trap.

We were in a 12 yacht flotilla from Dubrovnik. It was well organised, the places visited were beautiful and the support staff (AJ the skipper, Chili the host snd Tom the engineer) were fantastic!

the boat was new this season, and very nice. The real treat was how fantastic the flotilla captain (Jack) and the crew (Phoebe, Serena, Gonzo) all were - they really made the week for us.

Bareboat charter with Sunsail at Marina Agana for the second consecutive year, this time in August to accommodate School and Uni holidays. A great trip, despite a heavy thunderstorm in Vis, but Mirna gave an excellent warning brief and discussed sensible shelter. Agana has a well-organised team and the high turnover on joining was handled well. Our Jeanneau 47, 5 years old, was comfortable and in good condition apart from an issue with the mainsail, which the technicians were clearly not aware of at handover, but took away when we returned. Nevertheless a great week, this is a superb sailing area and Sunsail do an excellent job with base facilities, briefings, and support.

Good boat, good organisation, well supported.

It would be a good idea to stagger the return times....so not everyone trying to re-fuel at the same time.
Pretty chaotic.

We had an amazing family holiday from start to finish. We had an 41' yacht which was like new and had everything we needed, the AC was a lifesaver and the boat handled really well when the wind got up. Everyone at Sunsail was super friendly and helpful. Check-in/out was quick and efficient, big up to Korina and Spiros who looked after us. The area is great with lots of options of places to visit. Despite being high season we had no problems finding anchorages, moorings and places to dock when we wanted shore power. Can't recommend it enough

We have been lucky enough to spend two weeks on the north and south flotilla out of Lefkas . The lead crew was Jack , Maebh, Yani , Malik, and Serena . They were all fantastic and kept us safe throughout the two weeks. A great holiday for all ages, very sociable , beautiful swimming and the crew were very knowledgeable, helpful , fun and great company. Would highly recommend this sailing holiday to anyone thinking of going to Greece. The boat was also in great condition. We would love to go again .

First ever sailing trip as a family with 2 teenagers. Sailed out of St. Lucia. Fantastic experience from start to finish. Sailed with a skipper, Ben, who became part of the family. Wanted to do some different and couldn’t recommend Sunsail highly enough.
No WiFi, therefore no phones, awesome!

The flotilla was led by Tom, supported by Sean, Phoebe and Serena. I thought each of them performed their role to perfection. We couldn't have asked more of them and we had a most enjoyable holiday. The boat was excellent, no problems whatsoever. By mistake I drained the starter battery but that was replaced in a trice. Personally I would have preferred in-mast mainsail furling but apart from that, the whole thing was absolutely A1.

We had a seamless, easy and professional flotilla charter out of Lefkas. The boat was in top condition and the lead crew were fantastic. Sean quickly fixed a wayward shackle on our mainsheet block before departure, the only fix needed all week. Lead skipper Tom and hostess Phoebe kept everyone happy and smiling throughout. And not forgetting Serena and her epic egg-drop! Having run Moorings bases in the past, I understand the effort involved to produce top notch charters. Sunsail did us proud!

We were on the Dubrovnik Elafiti flotilla in August. It was really fantastic- amazing consistent hot weather and winds, very professional team from Sunsail for whom nothing was too much trouble and a lovely new well equipped yacht. Their professionalism meant there were no dramas for anyone in the 12 yacht flotilla. Gave great recommendations for restaurants and booked them for us always getting a table. Tiny improvement is that there was no lighting in the cockpit for sitting out at night.

Competent Crew Course, excellent instructor, all you need on board, sailing was awesome, visited different islands, highly recommend!

Great lead crew, Tadek, Mirna and Pero. Wonderful weather. Well organised and relaxing.

Sunsail put a lot into their 50th anniversary flotilla in the British Virgin Islands, and it was wonderful to be a part of it. The flotilla team were all excellent, and seemed to be having as good a time as we were, which is as it should be. The sailing was challenging at times, as this is a windy time of year in the Caribbean, but the flotilla's standard of seamanship was high. The itinerary was well-chosen and we missed nothing. All the highlights were there including Willy T's and the Soggy Dollar. Small gripes hinge around an empty spare gas bottle and personal dislike of the rig of the yacht. Dead head to wind was the only option for putting the main up, and the helm cannot see the sails because of the fixed canopy. Lack of cockpit lighting also made getting back to the yacht difficult. All in all, an amazing week thanks to the lovely crew.

- Very professional from the start to the end
- Very good facilities at the dock
- Nice well maintained boat
- Most important of all the instructor we had was very good - very friendly - incredibly knowledgeable and patient - really good teacher (Instructor was Alex based out of Marina - Croatia

I have only one disappointment and that is you don't get the boat before 6 pm so hardly any time to go anywhere before the next morning and then you have to return the boat by 9 am so again you pretty much have to get back the evening before as you have to refuel as well (which is absolutely chaos by the way).

Manu, Phoebe, Serena and Tom are quite frankly amazing - they are the best lead crew we have ever had, they set the right tone, they cared and were kind with high standards and well organised (don’t let negative people stop you doing this you are brilliant) and the boats and kit were excellent - we’ll be back(Eleftheria)

The staff were all competent professionally and delivered their support in a fun and easy way.
The kit was overall good. One engine fault was rectified quickly. However it was said to be a 'known' fault so should have been checked and fixed ahead of releasing the yacht to us. Faults happen, and the confidence of knowing a rapid fault response is available reassures me to rely on Sunsail again.
