Just had the most relaxing week.
We were 2 families "total of 8"
Nothing was a problem for Stjepan and Anna.
We swam, played watersports , explored and ate like Kings n Queens .
Anna, your food was as good as the best restaurants we've eaten in.
Stjepan, you have the patience of a Saint and your island knowledge was second to none👌
The boat was plenty big enough and lovely and comfortable.
Until next time. ❣️

The most amazing holiday ever - Valinor offered everything we could possibly wish for, including the most competent, passionate and fantastic captain and chef. We loved every second onboard, cruising the beautiful Saronic Bay. Our only regret is that we had only booked one week, it went by way too fast. Thnx for everything, we will be back for more!

The Cruises on Valinor was perfect! I was on the boat with my father, uncle lots of cousins and of course my grandmum. Ana cooked things i normally do not like and they tasted perfect. The Water toys i liked best - Steph explained everything and had lots of patience until i was comfortable and really enjoyed myself with the seobobs, efoil (first time for me😀) and wake boarding. Thank you very much for the great time and my father for helping with the comment.

We just returned from an incredible week aboard a luxury crewed charter catamaran in Greece, and we can't stop raving about the experience! From start to finish, every moment was pure perfection.
The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly the wide array of water toys available. We had an absolute blast zipping around on the seabobs and mastering the e-foils. The thrill of gliding over the crystal-clear waters was unmatched, and it added an exhilarating dimension to our daily activities.
Equally impressive was the culinary experience on board. Our cook, Ana, consistently wowed us with her delicious and beautifully presented meals. Every dish was a delightful blend of local flavors and gourmet finesse. From fresh seafood to delectable desserts, Ana's cooking was a highlight of our journey and left us eagerly anticipating each meal.
Adding to our amazing experience were the diverse on-land adventures guided by Steph. Whether it was exploring charming coastal villages, hiking scenic trails, or discovering hidden historical gems, Steph's expertise and enthusiasm made each excursion special and memorable.
The crew was exceptional, always attentive and ensuring we had everything we needed to make our trip unforgettable. Their knowledge of the area and seamless coordination made every day a new adventure.
This luxury catamaran charter in Greece was everything we hoped for and more. The combination of thrilling water activities, fantastic food, and engaging on-land adventures created a vacation we'll cherish forever. Highly recommend!
