We are two families from Atlanta, Georgia on our first trip to Greece. This is what we did NOT like about our voyage on Project Steel…
Much Love!
This is what we LOVED :
1)Captain John : If you look up ‘’captain’’ in the dictionary, John’s name is listed. We always felt safe in his capable hands.Best Captain ever!
2)Peter(Takis) : Such a caring Indiradual who was always there to help (and secure wakeboard and paddle boarders).
3)Anthony(Adonis) : He perpetuates beauty externally and though hs preparation of food. Everyday was a culinary adventure.
4)Nick(Spiderman) : He made sucks we all had a fabulous time with him on water sports, especially Dominico!
5)Maria. Maria embodies everything that is beautiful about Greece! We begged her to go home with us.
6)Roger : the first person you see when you wake up and the last you see when you go to bed. Always smiling!
Project Steel was a great boat but without this crew it would not have been as wonderful. Because at the end of the day, it’s about thepeople along the journey with you!

The staff so professional, friendly and kind doing all the toy cars they didn’t seem to mind! Exciting water sports especially the jetski. Brave little Max out in the deep sea! Antony, Maria, Roger, Peter, Nick and Captain John will all of the children his biggest fans. Amazing lunches,dinners and chocolate cakes, sorry for all the requests for milkshakes!
Salads, grocery, but we still asked for more getting our appetite swimming back from shore! Max as a Captain in sunglasses and hat and Teddy reading the tides currents and maps! Maria and Leo new best matters going not to be tripped up carrying the plates! Always looking to be on the biggest boat but we know this is the best ship afloat!
From ages 2 to 72 we have had the best holiday it’s all to sad we want to stay!
Thank you for absolutely everything you are ALL AMAZING and we wish Nick a speedy recovery!

| We will not talk about the beauty of the Greek Islands because that is a fact, rather we will talk about the wonderful crew that made our voyage more than a yacht experience. If you are even in the company of such a crew then you are as lucky as a King! Best regards to all and keep up the good work! Mohannad, Adel, Haytham, Alaa, Mohammad | ||

| We are a family of five coming from Switzerland and a friend coming from Bruxelles. We just spent a fabulous week travelling from Faliro to Serifos via Amorgos and its fabulous monastery, Koufonisi and its wonderful beaches, Schoinousa, Irakleia ...Paros... Coming to Greece we were looking for authenticity, peace, quietness beauty. And that is just what we found! The captain was excellent at finding beautiful unspoilt spots to swim and do all sorts of water sports. The team was great, nothing to say! Professional helpful enthusiastic kind and last but not least they all seemed to get along together. The food on board was very good, homemade and fresh and the comfort of the beds was excellent. Thank you to team who made our trip a real success. PS.We even show two dolphins Nathalie, Francois, Antoine, Laure. |
