Group sails on the SY Gemini with George and Lorella
Thank you Ann and friends for sailing in Greece with Exas Yachts. !!
"No hesitation in sailing with you again- appreciated care taken with multiple sclerosis crew- great care taken on shore excursions with taxi, guides, tavernas, etc.  Invaluable local knowledge made our trip a complete success.
May thanks to George for all his care and to Lorella for the lovely meals she prepared and quiet care given.  If we return again, which is more than possible, we would like to visit another area- hopefully with the same skipper and crew please!"

"Hello Thalea,
As you know we’re now well back in Norway, after a fantastic three weeks in Greece. The yacht was, as you promised, a very good choice for us. It was a fantastic boat; spacey, comfortable and we actually couldn’t think of any major things we would have changed or added.



Except, the dingy, which has been a problem on all the trips we have had. The dingy itself could very well be slightly bigger, but more important there are always engine problems, and our 5 hp is too small with so many people on the yacht.  Actually we would also have appreciated a slightly bigger water tank.. 
We were very pleased that you managed to hire Pantelis as our skipper. He is very professional, not only in handling the yacht itself, but even more importantly in handling client relations and managing the situation of living so close together in three full weeks. He is also a very pleasant person, and we had a very good time together. We know it must have been a tiresome challenge to lie so much at anchor, with the limited sailing we did, but we still hope it was a pleasant charter for him too.

We must also commend you and Exas on your arrangement of our trip. As always it is a pleasure to sail with you, and we really appreciate the friendly and professional cooperation and service we receive.  To conclude, it was a very successful vacation for us and our best boating experience in Greece so far.

We have already started our discussions on what to do next year, and may be looking at a similar trip to the Dodecanese. We did that a few years back, but there’s still many place we haven’t been. We’ll come back to you on that.  Hope you have a busy and good season, and look forward to talking to you later.     Best regards             Carine and Kai
Ps. We’ve enclosed a picture of the Captain and crew, wearing our S/Y Omerta, Ocean Challenge T-shirts. Hope you agree that we look really sharp."


C. Good takes a cabin cruise on the SY Panorama which was then switched to the H & B II- Thanks Carl for all the fantastic photos and emails of your activities; we do apologize for any misunderstandings in regards to the yacht and are pleased a reasonable explanation was acceptable. We look forward to seeing you in Athens again soon! Thalea................"
Hi, Thanks very much for getting back to me and the explanation sounds reasonable. I will certainly think of you for future cruises in the future.   All the best  C. Good"

"The charter went well and I was very happy with the support from Thalea Lyras.  The boat was changed but the replacement was acceptable and the total experience better than I had expected. The information was effective but a map of the location of the embarkation port would have been useful.
I would sail with you in the future and consider a bear boat charter.  The only problem on the cruise was the last day when we were told that the boat had a problem with the engine cooling system and we were off loaded early.  Although the ability to see the temple of Poseidon, the bus trip to the hotel and the hotel itself were very nice; some of our fellow passengers saw the HB II return to port with about 50 people on board.  It seemed that we were lied to so that the boat could take another party on the last day.  I believe that because of the last minute change in boats and the quality of the last day that was on land rather than the boat; that the passengers would have understood and the subterfuge was unnecessary".


The Bakers learn to sail in Greece on the Bavaria 42 and George as their instructor.  Thank you for learning to sail in Greece!
"How satisfied are you with your sailing charter?  "Very satisfied. Excellent... information just right and [skipper] was good" " Yes, definitely"...would sail with Exas again. P.and J. Baker

Dear Thalea, First of all we have appreciated once again the impeccable services of Exas Yachts and the swift assistance that you provided to get the genaker delivered to Lefkas, which was done quite quickly as it arrived at 3:00 in the morning! We look forward to chartering via Exas again in the future. (You may put this on your website if you wish). " Thanks to Everyone!! (thalea and nikos)

 

Anne's group enjoys a week on the SY Kallisto- thanks for sailing with us!
"Dear Thalea, Overall we were very satisfied with the charter.  The booking procedure was very positive and efficient and we greatly appreciated all the information you provided about the boat and other issues too (ferries, connection to Nicole at Delmar for hotels).  The boat was great and it was easy to find the boat and Christos with your specific instructions (the satellite photo of Paros was helpful!).  Christos was an interesting guy whom we enjoyed hanging out with and getting to know and he was a good island “host”.  Our only disappointment was partially related to the weather/wind in that we only actually “sailed” for approximately 2-3 hours total (60-90 minutes on 2 days).  Otherwise we primarily motored between islands.  The sailing was on days when there was very little wind.  On other days we were in port because of excessive wind.  Obviously the wind cannot be predicted but a bit of this seemed to be due to Christos being very conservative and cautious, which overall we of course appreciate.  However, he motored the whole way between Iraklia and Ios and had us dock somewhat early in the afternoon because he was concerned about a future gale which did not materialize until a day later. Between not enough wind and too much wind (and Christos’ caution) it seemed like there were very narrow window of opportunity for actual sailing.  If this is typical for this region at this time of year, I guess we would have liked this feedback in advance and maybe would have chosen another set of islands with more sailing opportunities.  The other feedback we have has to do with getting to Santorini.  As you probably know, we chose to ferry from Ios as you had predicted might be the best option.  We know you have a difficult role as a booking agent when clients request to go to Santorini, as we did and you don’t want to be overly discouraging and lose the booking.  You told us that this might not be possible due to sea conditions, which was indeed part of the issue.  However, the dilemma made even more sense to us as Christos explained the docking situation (on buoy away from easy transportation to the top).  We would have planned on a ferry from the beginning had we known all the variables.  I’d encourage you to tell clients like us all of this info in advance and let them know more clearly that most clients find it more convenient to ferry from Ios or Folengadros and to have details re ferries etc to facilitate planning.  Thanks again for your help and we would sail with you again if we decided on another trip like this.  Ann H."
