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.

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!

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.

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!
