EYsailing Reviews 117

Chris was the perfect example of what a great captain should be — calm, professional, and always in control. He managed to keep eight people from getting on each other’s nerves in close quarters, while also asserting his authority when dealing with other boats and crews whenever a firm hand was needed.

The places he took us to were absolutely breathtaking — truly out of this world — and I’m just sorry I can’t make it there every year.

P.S. Chris, if you’re reading this: sorry it took me so long to write this well-deserved review!

Really relaxing and enjoyable experience. It was great to be sailing around the islands seeing the beautiful scenery, swimming and steering the yacht. Sadly, too little wind to actually sail, but the whole experience was fantastic.

I had an amazing experience sailing with EY in July 2025. Ilias is an excellent skipper, knowledgeable of the Ionian sea and an Excellent chef. We spent one week on board Phoebe, and Ilias took us to wonderful places and provided us amazing meals. I loved the impromptu sailing lessons. I can recommend unreservedly and hope to come back.

I’ve been sailing with EYsailing for the past seven years, and it’s the absolute highlight of my year – every single time. What began as a hesitant first try staying on a boat has turned into a true passion, all thanks to the unforgettable experience EYsailing creates.
Elias is not only an incredibly skilled and knowledgeable skipper, but also one of the kindest and most genuine people you’ll ever meet. His calm, reassuring presence made me feel completely safe and at ease from day one.
The boat is immaculate and comfortable, clearly cared for with love. Elias is also an amazing cook – his fresh, delicious meals are often enjoyed in hidden beaches, quiet coves, and breathtaking sunset spots you’d never find on your own.
The yoga sailing trips are the perfect mix of movement, nature, and deep relaxation. I’m already counting down to the next one!
If you're even slightly considering sailing – book with EYsailing. It’s not just a trip, it’s an experience that stays with you and keeps calling you back

We had the most amazing week, sailing, hopping island to island, beach to beach in stunning places, Illiyas is absolutely fabulous, a great host, and believe me, the food he prepares, delicious and healthy, to die for!!!

His sailing boat has snorkels and flippers of all sizes, goggles if u want to swim, he provides the towels, and is such a cool host.

A great adventure sailing the seas around Lefkada that remains with u forever❤️🧡💛🤩🤩🤩

Note:
We signed up as a yoga retreat… but it’s much more than a Yoga retreat!

You sleep on the boat

Some people opted to sleep on the deck, it’s an option but nights can be cold

Option to eat at the restaurants on shore when we’re docked

It’s good to know how to swim but there are jackets if needed

The water is nice and warm

Highly recommended!!! Thank you Illias👋🙏😄

We had a wonderful experience on a Yoga & Sailing retreat with EY Sailing and Marisel Douzeni. Elias, our skipper, made the trip truly memorable with his great kindness and care. The Ionian Islands have so much beauty to offer, and discovering them by sailboat is a unique and special experience. I highly recommend this beautiful adventure!

I have made 2 freediving trips in the Ionian Islands with EY Sailing, 2 years in a row adn I can't wait to make the the next! The sites they took as to are amazing, each new one more beatiful than the previous one. Panos and Elias are really good hosts, they know how to cook! And so easy going that it's impossible not to relax on a EY Salining holiday.

It is the second year i m trusting this company and there s a reason for it. These guys know how to make your vacation unforgettable. They know hidden spots around the Ionian sea and can provide unique experiences while on the boat and i m talking about very well equipped boats. Above all, they make you feel safe, in any occasion. Would give them 10 stars if i could. Keep up the good work EYsailing :)

It is the seventh time that I spent one week with my bunch of freedivers. The organization is perfect and the guidance of Elias on the boat ideal for a beautiful trip.

Unforgettable sailing & yoga retreat!

This year I joined a one‑week yoga and sailing retreat with Eysailing and… wow. Honestly, one of the best experiences of my life. The boat was spotless, comfy, and super well‑equipped. Every day we discovered dreamy spots, hidden bays, and insane sunsets.

Elías is a true top‑tier host: he knew exactly where to take us, always found the best vibes, and cooked like an angel. Between yoga sessions on deck and sailing through the Ionian, I felt pure magic.

Can’t wait for the next adventure next year with Eysailing! 🌊🧘‍♀️✨

from insightful knowledge about the area with tiniest, amazing details, beautiful handling of the boat, awesome, hands-on sailing and superb facilities, to extraordinary food and hospitality at its highest level: will do it again and can highly recommend going sailing with EY sailing. our sailing week was named Diving Inwards, and most of all encompassed daily yoga by beautiful Marisel Douzeni, mariseldouzeni.com. to experience the combination of these two sports and lifestyles, in the beautiful ionian sea has truly been mind blowing.

An unforgettable sailing experience in the Ionian Sea- Highly Recommended!!!!!
It was our third time we spent an incredible week sailing through the Ionian Sea with Eysailing team and every year it is an unforgettable experience. Lito boat was in excellent condition—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped! Every day we explored beautiful waters and quiet bays and awesome nature!
In terms of our skipper , Christos was professional and extremely knowledgeable about sailing and the local area! Also, we really appreciated that he was warm, friendly, and always willing to fulfill our needs and desires.

We’re already dreaming of our next trip with Eysailing!!🙂

Lovely experience; been twice with them, once in October, once in May, and both times has been absolutely brilliant. Recommend 100%!

Fantastic skippers, you’r in safe hands and they know all the spots.

Would give a higher rating if I could! I spent a week on what was their newer, larger yacht (can’t remember the name now) in May 2024 on a group freediving trip with my freediving club.
The whole week was amazing - Elias was a fantastic captain, he was incredibly helpful as surface support while we were diving, and the food was amazing the whole week. Our trip was vegetarian / vegan catered and the food was creative and delicious every single meal.
The club has been working with Elias and EY Sailing for years. Elias was a very pleasant addition to our group for the week, and he shared lots of local information such as about sailing, weather conditions in the area and recommendations for each of the ports we visited. Overall, a wonderful trip and would highly recommend this company to anyone.

First time sailing and absolutely loved it! The landscapes and waters were incredible and our captain amazing 🤩.
Would definitely do it again !!

The best people to sail the Ionian with!

We had the most magical experience with a truly professional team. It’s our second time and we will come back for more. Highly recommended.

Great week with EYsailing! We really enjoyed our trip.
Very professional and flexible team, took into account our requests, what we liked and didn’t like during the trip.
This was our second time with EYsailing and we would recommend it if you are after a relaxing week.

Amazing trip amazing scenery amazing skipper
