Captain Thiseas and assistant Angelos were incredible hosts and treated Yia Yia like a queen the whole day. This was by far one of the best days in Naxos and an incredible experience. I would highly recommend this day out at sea with this delightful duo!

Jenny_R, Aug 2025
Just a beautiful day. Lots of locations we stopped. Gave us plenty of time to explore. The captain was funny and very informative

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you Jenny Very much for your kind review. All of your niceTeam. All the Best for your life. George

Nice sights and stops, grumpy captain

Sarah_E, Jul 2025
This is a mixed review because we visited nice locations, however the captain was quite grumpy and did not create the most fun or welcoming atmosphere. I don’t feel like this tour is a good value for the price. Other tours for a similar price or less provide lunch.

Hello Sarah. Bellow is a clear review of Mr Adamos sailing same day with you . You are right about the cost but you mean another yacht carries 98 guests and serving SOUVLAKI AND WINE under the sun and pay 60 Euro per person,if you compare our facilities and services you must pay more money than i asked you, plus our hospitality ,experience of 50 years and first time i gave yacht accessories of board to my guests as i provided you to the beach that i gave you. I;m a 50 years proffetional and for me your SAFETY IS THE FIRST This is the Review of Mr Adamos bellow Jul 21, 2025 adamosh2016 Tripadvisor review: Semi-private Antiparos & Caves Blue Lagoon OR Rina Cave & Small Cyclades Amazing trip, a must-do if exploring Greek islands. The boat is spacious and has soft padding so you can lay down anywhere. You get to explore caves, climb rocks, and swim in crystal clear waters. Great fun with optional music and drinks and snacks. George is the best - a clear professional and lots of fun. He has the trip nailed to a T. He is clearly an experienced sailor. Highly recommend him and his boat!

Great day with a few buts…

Felicia_F, Aug 2023
George and his skipper were great at sailing - we were able to sail at a pretty high speed given the winds that day. It was my first time on a sailboat but I felt very safe and really enjoyed my first sailing experience. We were able to sail both out of port and back in. We stopped at the blue lagoon and a cave for swimming stops and they were both very nice. For the reviews upset about being told where to sit - it is for safety and due to the sailboat tilting with the wind - being my first time I picked that up within 5 minutes so I feel the complaints about seating shouldn’t be a factor in booking this experience. We were given snorkeling equipment and small treats - donuts filled with meat - and fresh grapes from Naxos. The wine was local and homemade but seemed very limited to distribution to those on the boat - we got little paper cups to taste. I paid almost double the price through VIATOR compared to what others claim they paid booking directly with the company. The price I paid is not worth what you get on the experience. Also we docked at a small village in Paros for three hours which is excessive - I would have much rather stopped at another swimming spot. At the port we were advised where we were eating even though lunch was not included in the price of the booking - George said he was buying everyone a glass of wine - but I was charged for my wine and so was the woman I sat down with. I feel like this was misleading to make us have lunch at his friends restaurant. If I had paid the 80 euros other people stayed they paid - I would probably have given this experience more stars - but due to the price I paid it was not worth what my experience was.

Kalimera Felicia Thank you for your kind review. This is a review from another guest on the same day. We wait for you and your friends with more wine and our Smile as you saw. We love your pretty smile. Misanterstaandig happens it's normal and I'm sorry if happened. Κριτική που υποβλήθηκε από τον χρήστη Jayden Alp starstarstarstarstar I’ve never done a review before but this experience really deserved it! We had such a fun day out on the Annabella! The day included searching for sea life, incredible snorkeling, cave swimming, and a beautiful stop in Paros for lunch. The thing that made the experience the most enjoyable was Captain George and Angelo! George is an amazing captain who makes sure every person who steps onto his boat has a good time. He lets you get involved with the sailing or relax if you don’t want to. His 40+ years of experience and authentic personality made our sailing trip unforgettable. Will be coming back to sail with George again if we get the chance.

Thank you for the captain...

Thank you Jordan and Walla very much for your king, hope to see you and your friends in the coming years. George

Very unique experience!

Hao_P, Jul 2023
The Captain & his first mate were excellent. Even with the gale force winds across the Aegean Sea, the dynamic duo kept everyone inspired and safe. Would do it again!

THank you Hao very much to join naxossailing tours. We wait your friends in our new destinations. George

Sailing Aegean sea.

Javier_G, Jul 2023
Excelent experince. Very nice and safe boat. Staff was amazing. Your trip will depend on the weather and what kind of wind you have since this is a sailboat. We were a group of 6 and had the whole boat for our selves. You will be out in the sun all day so plan accordingly. We stopped at Rina Cave, Heracles Island, a couple of swimming spots and some small landmarks around Naxos island. I would say this trip is more for the experience of sailing in the Mediterranean sea rather that the sight seeing. We were directed to a Tavern in Heracles island and the food was great (fresh catch fish). I would not plan to do anything else after this since you are going to be in the sun and swimming in the sea all day. Would definitely recommend, specially if you have a group of people you are traveling with and can book the whole boat.

Fabulous excursion😊

Ruby_P, Jun 2023
This sailing trip is a must to go on. Had a wonderful time. We got to go swimming in the blue lagoon which is absolutely beautiful. Went swimming or snorkeling at the caves and had lovely lunch in a small fishing village along the way. Captain George and his crew were amazing and kept us very well looked after. If you love to be out on the water for a nice relaxing time I highly recommend doing this excursion ❤️

Capt George was great! Recommend this...

Kathryn K, Aug 2016
Capt George was great! Recommend this trip for a full day of sailing. Really enjoyed it!

George was terrific - we absolutely...

Greg W, Jul 2016
George was terrific - we absolutely loved this adventure. We took 5 high school students to Greece for a class and this was the 'day off' - a perfect way to see the beauty of the Greek Islands. The boat is also amazing the students particularly loved that George got into the water with them to snorkel.
