5.00Absolutely fantastic day out with Captain George at the helm and his wonderful charming daughter Maria looking after us. They have a lovely spacious comfortable sailing boat. Lots of space so room for everyone to sit or lie comfortably. Only take max 15 pax. Everything included from drinks fruit snacks and a delicious sit down lunch. Paddle boards fins masks all on offer. We stopped at four lovely secluded beaches for a swim in the crystal clear waters. Just magical! Highly highly recommend Nireus Sailing Cruises.
Fabulous!

5.00Wonderful relaxing day with the lovely Maria and her dad George. Freshly prepared food and snacks provided throughout the day. A highlight of the holiday. You can get cheaper trips but you would not get the same experience. We felt we got value for money and a more personal service and so pleased we chose Nireas.
A great day out!

5.00We had a wonderful day out on the water. There were only 9 people on the boat. Maria’s food was delicious, and communication via WhatsApp went really smoothly. We made a total of 4 stops for swimming. The team was very well organized. I highly recommend it.
WONDERFUL

5.00We had the most wonderful day. Sadly it was too windy to sail to Skopelos, but we sailed around Skiathos, and found some beautiful bays to moor in. The food and drinks were delicious and plentiful, and Maria took great care of everyone on board. Everyone was friendly, and with only a small number of passengers, you soon start chatting and sharing stories. Highly recommended.
Perfect experience

5.00My 12-year-old son and I had a fantastic full day at sea - beautiful boat, small group, so friendly and service-minded staff, delicious and homemade food and - not least - unforgettable baths in hidden coves!! Felt more like being invited on lovely friends boat than a commercial boat trip. Many thanks to everyone involved!
Great day at sea!
