I have chartered boats for over 30 years on 3 continents and Plain sailing has been the best. Good boats, reasonable prices, very proactive and friendly.

I have chartered sailboats all over the world, and plain sailing by far offers the best customer service I have ever received. I will continue to use them for my future charter needs.

Unforgettable Sailng holiday

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with PlainSailing Boat Charter.
Everything was smooth from start to finish, and the service was truly outstanding. A special thanks to Adi, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect — responsive, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. It’s rare to find such dedication and personal attention these days. I highly recommend PlainSailing and especially Adi to anyone looking for a reliable, top-notch sailing holiday. We’ll definitely be booking again!

Exceptional customer service ensuring beautifull holidays

We have been booking through Plain sailing for multiple years and each and every time we are delighted by their service and care.
They have a great selection of boats and are always happy to help search and select the best option based on your needs. From there on it is smooth sailing to your holiday and in case of questions they are literally 24/7 available to support. I would highly recommend them and will keep booking through Plain Sailing for all my sailing endeavors to come.

First time we have used PlainSailing - Excellent

First time we have used PlainSailing, having used other agencies in the past. They are by far the best we have used. Everything was very good right the way through the process - Good selection of boats, good pricing, clear terms and expectations set on what happens next. Communication was excellent throughout, and since we returned. They pre-empted our needs at times and this was something we hadn't experienced before

Happy customer! Twice!

I have used plainsailing twice (this year and a few years ago) and both times was very easy and worked well. Kids and I had a great time! Boats were in good condition. No issues with return of deposit.

Excellent Company - I Continue to Return

I have chartered from Plain Sailing five times in the last six years, and I continue to return due to their "off the chart" level of customer service. Even with a large time difference, all of my questions are answered quickly and accurately. This company truly cares about their customers and works on developing an individual relationship with them.

A fantastic level of service

A fantastic level of service, with a thorough knowledge of the boats and sailing areas. A company that cares about its customers!

We sailed from Split and found their knowledge of the area useful and up to date. Great at arranging transport and checking everything went well.

1st rate charter broker

First time reviewer, but third time customer of Plain Sailing - the team has looked after us in Greece twice, and now Sardinia. Always super responsive, and their knowledge of the chaterers, where to find a great price, and good quality companies saves us doing the legwork, knowing that they know the industry far better than we could from a website. Highly recommend.

We are repeaters and highly demanding 😉.
The first charter we did with Plainsailing two years ago went as smooth as baby skin. Tommy lead us through the process step-by-step, politely reminded about next steps and things to do in time.
This year, Adi had to take over, but we can only say “same same”. Having chartered sailing yachts for more than 30 years in Europe and the Caribbean, I never had this top notch service as with PlainSailing.
Keep it up and we’ll keep coming back.
Best, Frank

A great outfit.

This is the first time I've left a review, but the service and attention from Adi at Plan Sailing was exceptional. We chartered in Mallorca, the boat was perfect, the extras (including fee outboard) were all correctly accounted for. Early check in was done (i.e. 11am!!) and everything went to plan. With Plain Sailing you felt that you were dealing with people rather than some anonymous booking platform, they truly care about the experience that you have, and are very user friendly on text, WhatsApp, email etc. I could not recommend them enough. Thanks Duncan

A Stellar September with Plainsailing

Impeccable service, seamless communication, and Adi's swift assistance, even post-trip, made it truly unforgettable. Plainsailing truly exceeded our expectations! Our September sailing adventure from Athens to Milos with a crew of 10 was nothing short of spectacular. The catamaran provided a comfortable and scenic journey, with breathtaking lagoons and island stops that left us in awe. Adi's exceptional responsiveness and impeccable organization turned potential challenges into seamless, unforgettable moments. We're grateful for the outstanding service and can't wait for our next plainsailing adventure!

Fantastic experiences in Croatia for our groups of 40. Will be booking with Plain Sailing again and again!

For the past 2 years, we have chartered 4 yachts in Croatia for our groups of 40 students. Each time the customer service and charter experiences have been immaculate, and we have all been thoroughly spellbound by the trips. We are already booking our next one, and hope to continue doing so for years to come!!

Excellent service and prices

I have chartered a boat from PlainSailing on numerous occasions, including this summer from Kos.

They have never let me down. Always attentive and easy to deal with. They are there for you from booking, all the way to the end of your sailing. Good value for money and they ensure that you have a great holiday.

ALWAYS POSITIVE

Just a happy, easy experience. The Guys pre-empt the questions you are going to ask and they're happy to push for the best deal.

It's a pleasure to pick up the phone and run ideas past them. ALWAYS A POSITIVE REACTION.

When things don't go to plan

Easy booking process, very helpful and good online prompting in the admin process. You know how good businesses are when things "don't go entirely to plan". We had some issues with the boat (battery problems which curtailed our plans). Plain sailing's response was first class. We'll be using this company again.

looks good...

Not been on the holiday yet, but if it's anything like the booking process I'm sure it will be fantastic!
Live Chat was a godsend to confirm details, and everything was really easy - from searching for a yacht, to narrowing the options using filters, etc. Really well though out site.
Thanks

Found us a good deal on a Catamaran…

Found us a good deal on a Catamaran from Lefkas this summer. We were looking at Kefalonia but there were no catamaran options, so Adi came up with this solution instead.
