Her layout is unmatched by any other catamaran of her size and living space is phenomenal, including 5 truly big totally independent cabins, an impressive sense of space in the saloon and galley, ample lounging space on the flybridge and more space than you could ask for dinning and lounging in the vast aft cockpit. Indulge yourself in the art of hospitality on a yacht considered by many the ultimate voyager’s catamaran!

| Dear Panos, Maria and Yorgo! Thank you all for the great time we had aboard Moya. After each new city we were happy to return to hospitable, safe and enjoyable home that you’ve created for us. Special thanks to Maria for her professionalism and magnificent cuisine. Maria is hereby officially awarded a Michelin star and is invited to open an elite restaurant in the center of Riga. Particularly awaited is her banana cake, because of which some of us lost their sleep at night and will have to spend few extra days doing Pilates. Many thanks to Panos for discovering for us amenities of Ionian Sea. Thanks for a great route, for awesome swimming spots with just a few sharks and for not throwing our sorry asses overboard for water in the saloon! You gave us a great journey!

| We just loved our week on Moya - was very hard to leave and we keep wishing we were back!!! The boat itself is in pristine condition - everything works, it’s really well taken care of and the crew work hard to keep it looking great. There’s tons of space even for 6 of us and 3 crew. You never really felt like you were “on top of each other”. Loads of room just to sit and relax or to sunbathe - whatever you wanted. Captain Panos was really knowledgeable and had a good balance of professionalism and friendliness. He took us to amazing places and we were never disappointed in the stops we made. At first, we thought we would work together to figure out a route, but it became clear that he would basically work this angle himself. This isn’t a complaint - it was actually the right way to go - he knows the islands and we don’t!!!! Maria - AMAZING. We have lived all over the world, travelled all over the world and are not that easy to please and her food was absolutely outstanding. We wrote on our preferences that we wanted fresh, local, healthy dishes and she did just exactly that. Every meal was different and unbelievable and loved by all - from the 8 year old to Jay! She was fun, friendly, warm and welcoming. We are FB friends now!!!! Really can’t say enough good things about her. Thomas - a great great helper and deck hand. Quiet but friendly and really helpful. Would do anything to make our experience good. The boat couldn’t have functioned as well without him. It really takes 3 people for that boat to work well. Doesn’t get much better than that! Next time we’re going for 2 weeks!!" | ||
| August 2014 | ||
| Our first sailing experience was one to remember! Great weather, beautiful water,super comfortable boat and above all a most fantastic crew.From the time we landed in Mykonos, Panos did his best to make our stay pleasurable and easy… Always there Thanos seconded him in the most effective way…And then there was Maria…her wonderful dishes full of all the flavors that Greece has to offer…her wines which were all wonderful surprise no matter what the color and finally her smile and wonderful temper no matter what the circumstances… Thank you for these and more memorable vacations.
