Sailchecker was great
Sailchecker was great, reasonably priced, and very responsive to all of our questions. It was our first time chartering in Greece and the options were overwhelming - especially given that we really weren't sure how dealing with local operators would be. When we found Sailchecker, it made the whole process much easier, and gave us a peace of mind that we had someone else to arbiter on our behalf if needed. In the end, the operator we worked with, Sea Star Sailing, was absolutely fantastic and 100% we'd work with them again - and we learned, they only operate through a broker, for largely the same reason as why we went through Sailchecker. We're thrilled that Sailchecker operates internationally, so wherever in this world we'd like to sail, we know who to go to.
Thanks again for the right choice
Thanks again for the right choice. We have spent the nice time again.
All the best to team SailChecker:)

Working with Sailchecker is a dream
Working with Sailchecker is a dream. Being from The States and working with an unknown company overseas can be scary. When everything goes right you hardly even know they are. During this last year of COVID things were changing dramatically and Sailchecker was by our side working with us and our changing needs. I can't say enough about Kate and team for helping to make our holiday a reality.

High Quality Customer Service
We were introduced to SailChecker through a friend of ours that had booked with them a catamaran charter in the Greek islands in 2019 and had a terrific time. Their boat was a Bali 5.4 with a permanent crew on board. We decided to do the same as we were going to be a family with 3 kids and we needed some extra space and comfort. Our initial booking was for 2020, but unfortunately, we couldn't travel due to covid-19 related restrictions. Chris and Kate helped us reschedule our charter easily and securely, and we just got back from an amazing holiday. Already working with Kate on a charter for December 2021 in the Caribbean.

SailChecker Special Deals
SailChecker helped us book a charter for 2022 with a special early booking discount and special payment terms.
We were only looking for luxury crewed catamarans in Croatia, where it's more difficult to negotiate better terms, however Kate and her team did a great job.
It's the second time booking with them, and would definitely recommend them.

Company ripped us off $2400
We used this company to book a sailing trip in Croatia in May 2020. There were 4 of us girls taking a trip of our lifetime. Well, Covid happened. The company allowed us to rebook the following year. 30-45 days prior to May 2021, the borders were still closed due to Covid, so we tried to rebook, the wouldn't let us. They also wouldn't give us any of our money back. It's disgusting considering this was a global pandemic that was not our fault. We are out $2400!!! Do NOT use this company
*In response to their counter - not sure what they are talking about. We didn't have time to get insurance as the pandemic hit w/o notice. Most insurances didn't cover the pandemic anyway. They did not try to settle with us - we asked for a rebook next year and they said no. We asked to meet in the middle and give us 50% of our money back and they said no. They kept our entire $2400. That is what is not fair - not my review!

Sailchecker save the day again!
We have booked bareboat through Sail Checker several times. Kate is so thorough and is always available to help find your ideal boat. We just returned from Seychelles and found all the covid measures to be really good, sending temperatures daily to base and all the snorkelling gear sterilised, masks were provided as well as gloves and gel.
We feel very comfortable booking through Sailchecker, they are now our go to when we are sailing. We booked this trip at absolutely the last minute due to ongoing uncertainty, it was glorious to get away for a while.

Sailchecker are simply a superb company staffed with real people who are experienced and capable to give advice, guide and inform on the choices available thereby providing a sailing holiday which is not only memorable, but great value for money. Kate and her team are all so very personable they instill confidence and the two sailing holidays we have had with them have been nothing short of superb.
We would have absolutely no hesitation in booking with Sailchecker again and again.

5 star service and experience
5 star service and experience. Sailchecker were amazing from start to finish.
Kate is very informative and personable & Chris is an amazing host and skipper.
We sailed the Ionian Islands from Lefkas. The trip was smoothly run and very enjoyable!
The boat we sailed was the Magnum Opus part of the Blue Eternal fleet and it was nothing short of amazing. Such a treat to be on board a beautiful vessel and the locations we visited were out of this world. I would highly recommend this kind of trip for sailing to see insane turquoise blue seas and secluded beaches.
Sailchecker would be my first choice every time to help you find your perfect sailing experience.

Spellbinding experience!
An amazing sailing trip with Sailchecker as always, I’d never book with anyone else.
We had a crewed Lagoon cat in the Ionian Islands and it was spellbinding. The experienced skipper Chris took us to the most beautiful bays with turquoise water and we were able to explore and see places it just wouldn’t be possible to find on a standard hotel holiday.
We stayed on the magnificent Magnum Opus which was true luxury. Plenty of room to sunbathe as well as to operate everything while sailing, with top quality finishes.
Our chef Kim made the most wonderful food and took care of everything so we could focus on enjoying an unforgettable experience. My next trip can’t come quick enough!

Amazing Sailing Experience!
I've just come back from an amazing 5 day sailing break around the Ionian Islands booked through SailChecker and couldn't recommend this company any more!
We sailed on the Magnum Opus, a 2020 Lagoon 50 Catamaran, and opted to have our boat fully crewed which included a professional Skipper and Chef.
As I've never sailed before I was a little nervous at first, however our Skipper was clearly well-experienced and comfortable which quickly put my mind at rest. Food on-board was amazing and our chef did a great job at catering to our groups dietary requirements without compromising on choice or flavour.
The boat was comfortable with luxury finishes and lots of space on board, the sea was smooth and the views were beautiful. We had the opportunity to do some paddle boarding and lots of swimming in the crystal blue waters, as well as visit some secluded beaches where we snorkeled and sunbathed.
I'd definitely recommend booking a sailing holiday with SailChecker and can't wait for my next!

Just back from a lovely short sailing…
Just back from a lovely short sailing break in the Ionian sea booked through Sailchecker.
We sailed on Magnum Opus – a beautiful Lagoon 50 (50 foot) Catamaran built in 2020. Whilst you can book a bareboat charter, our small group had opted for the luxury of a professional skipper (as a number of the group were not experienced sailors) in fact we went all in and also opted for a live in chef, so we were really spoilt! We flew Easyjet from Gatwick to Preveza the flight took around 3 ¼ hours and was on time – our transfer to Lefkada marina was well organised and quick (about 30 minutes). The boat was amazing – there was a huge amount of space on board (I have previously only sailed in monohulls) and the design has an ‘outside in’ feel (think grand designs) there is a large opening at the back of the central saloon. The cabins, bathrooms, lounge area were all luxurious. We were treated to great weather, fantastic mooring locations, and of course great food, both on the boat and on shore – we visited a number of nice friendly tavernas and enjoyed shopping at a couple of ports. Our skipper, Chris was well informed, he knew the area and the boat well and we had a lovely relaxing time. The water is beautiful and we swam every day. We found some quiet white sandy beaches, caves and of course plenty of great Greek hospitality. Thoroughly recommended.

Accessible/resourceful/helpful
Kate at Sailchecker was just great to deal with.
I made an enquiry about sailing in Croatia and she gave me a number of options, none of which I wanted to commit to because of COVID and the potential of having to isolate if Croatia went on the no-go list.
Sure enough it did but I spoke to Kate out of hours and within 24 hours she had three options to sail in Turkey.
We booked and paid and apart from Kate special mention should be made of the charter company - Pitter - who were also brilliant and easy to deal with.
Thanks so much

Another great experience chartering…
Another great experience chartering through Sailchecker. Kate is very responsive and did her upmost to cater for all of our requests. Already looking at next years trip with her. Couldn't recommend enough
SailChecker’s service was great
Kate at SailChecker was brilliant. Very responsive, good communication and very attentive - even on Sundays. SailChecker had great prices overall. I will definitely be contacting them for a quote for future charters.
Only feedback is that the flotilla leader didn’t have our contact number so was unable to get in touch to discuss arrangement prior to arrival. This may not have been Sailchecker’s fault though.
Very thoughtful interaction with Sailchecker via WhatsApp group through vacation. Need to consider that some people may not want their personal numbers visible to other people though.

Awesome help re-arranging our COVID disrupted plans
In March, we booked a boat for 2 months in 2021 through Kate at Sailchecker and paid our 50% deposit literally days before a global pandemic was declared. With all the continuuing uncertainty about world travel, and with NZ (our home) currently having closed borders, we recently decided we had no choice but to postpone our trip until 2022. We were worried that we may lose our deposit and have problems but Sailchecker quickly transferred our booking and deposit to 2022. We were so grateful and relieved (it's a lot of money). Thanks so much Kate for making this difficult situation so easy and painless, we can't wait to sail with you in 2022.

Great experience with Sailchecker
We sailed to the Saronic Gulf this Summer and it was our first time chartering a boat. Kate was exceptional in helping us navigate the process and also providing excellent recommendations on restaurants as we visited each island. We were also lucky to have Chris as our skipper who went the extra mile to make our trip memorable and teach us some sailing along the way. Highly recommend sailchecker for your next holiday!

Sailchecker…
Sailchecker organised a last minute trip to Turkey. Got good rates and were very efficient. Company who owned boat and personnel were excellent. New Boat was perfect too- although we did find some small manufacturers defects. No big deal.
Thanks Sailchecker.
