We chartered Wiseas as a last minute charter for 3 days in Bolos. Katia was swift with her responses and Alex was super helpful on spot. We also rented a skipper, who was very kind, discreet and helpful, and he showed us hidden gems and some Mamma Mia spots we were so eager to see! Thank you very much for the amazing experience!

We rented Bali Catspase Wiseas for one week. As soon as we arrived at the port Alex and the girl from the office greeted us and helped us with documents and then Alex went for check in with the skipper.
Procedure was very smooth and quick.
Sporades were amazing, we especially loved Skiathos. Alex and Katia helped us with restaurant and beach recommendations, and we got to try some of the best dishes we ever tried.
We returned on Friday evening, skipper did check out with Alex while we prepared for dinner.
We left Saturday morning refreshed and relaxed from a wonderful week.
Overall it was a great experience, communication was really good with Alex and the company, and we will certainly return next year.
Thank you guys, keep up the good work!

Best yacht company!

Best yacht company!
From start to finish, the service was truly exceptional. The entire team was professional, welcoming, and always ready to assist with a smile. The catamaran was in perfect condition — comfortable, clean, and fully equipped. A flawless experience in every way.
I highly recommend it to all fellow sailors — a top-notch experience in every sense.

Avoid them at all costs!

Agency from hell, worst charter experience ever! Avoid them at all costs. I honestly don't know where to start, since there are so many things to cover…

- Life-threatening unprofessional modifications to the boat
- False advertising
- Incorrect basic functionality of the vessel

And yes, I know, this agency will respond to this review by saying we are lying, or they will make things up (that is their modus operandi)

I will point out the worst and most dangerous thing, their unprofessional (quick DIY repairs) lead to a life-threatening situation, where they put all of our lives in danger with their unprofessional modifications to the gangway of the ship, and where an incident occurred where our friend slipped and fell into the sea (luckily he wasn't seriously injured)

They used non-certified materials (non UV resistant) decking boards from DIY stores, which they cut and put on the gangway (proof in the pictures), as you can see in photos, material degraded and weakened. It is so brittle that it can be broken by hand.

But let's start one by one...

We booked a boat through this agency, for the period 26 July 2025 - 2 August 2025, Catamaran Lagoon 40 Fratelli, immediately upon arrival we were greeted by a very unpleasant / unprofessional representative of this agency named Alex.

We additionally paid 80 EUR for an outboard motor (for a dinghy), which was not working properly at the start upon handover, the throttle lever did not work properly, and after 2 uses the same motor completely broke down...

False advertising of the boat with additional amenities, such as solar panels (which do not work at all), a power inverter (which is only 150-200 W and works on only 1 socket (practically unusable)), a boat that is advertised as being in excellent condition, that it is 2022-23, but in reality the situation is a disaster, the boat is so worn out that it can be safely said that it resembles a boat over 10+ years old.

The boat had completely faulty boat batteries, which could not support the use of DC power for about 2-3 hours, so we constantly had to start the engines to recharge.

The pipes from shower cabins and toilets, are intertwined and modified, the waste from the toilets is released into the bilge part of the ship, where the bilge pump pumps it out (some crazy modifications). At one point the starboard side smelled like strong feces.....

The sailing ropes are in a catastrophic state, twisted, so bad that at one point we couldn't lower the mainsail, we had to climb up and pull it down manually…

1 out of 2 fridges was broken ( totally not working).
2 Fans ( ventilators in the rooms ) were broken

Constantly we were trying to reach them, and ask for support, but their base manager was unavailable, answering to us after 10 calls, very late in the evening and so on.
One afternoon, ( at Skopelos) they sent their representative, which was also unprofessional and unpleasant, after explaining to him in a most pleasant way the situation + the situation with broken boat gangway ( where my friend almost lost a leg), he was laughing to us….

After returning to Volos ( main port ) on Friday evening, they were also unpleasant and very aware of the situation, that things were not right. But very prepared for a verbal argument.

Only because we did not want to spoil the last night of our vacation, we did not call the police,

The most sincere advice for everyone, check your agencies well, you are not only paying for a good vacation, but in a way you are also entrusting your life, so be very careful!!!!

Dear Mr. Jovanovic,

We’re truly sorry your experience did not meet your expectations. We always welcome constructive feedback, and we take any concerns seriously when raised in good faith.

However, several claims in your review are misleading or entirely false — and seriously damaging. Phrases like “life-threatening modifications” or calling for our business to be “shut down” are not constructive criticism, but defamatory.

All our vessels are fully certified and undergo annual inspections by licensed professionals and Greek maritime authorities. No part of our fleet is subject to DIY repairs — only licensed marine technicians handle maintenance and modifications, with documentation and compliance verified at every step.

To address some of your key claims:

• Passarella (gangway): Made from marine-grade stainless steel and marine standards PVC, supplied by Koronakis Group — a leading international nautical equipment provider. It's manufactured specifically for yacht gangways and certified for such use. If the gangway was placed on unstable ground (as sometimes happens when users extend it improperly), breakage can occur — but that is a matter of incorrect usage, not faulty material. Our yachts are fully insured for any type of incident onboard - we are not the ones to avoid responsibilities and we are always by our clients’ side to support them in any type of medical emergency.
• Battery & Solar Panels: Solar panels were functioning. However, you failed to connect to shore power for extended periods. Batteries alone can’t support full yacht systems indefinitely. As soon as you used shore power, there were no complaints. An experienced skipper should understand the basic electrical limitations of yacht systems.
• Communication: We were in constant contact with you and your agent by phone and email. You were also given three emergency contact numbers and direct access to our base team. The claim of “unavailability” is unfounded.
• Return to Port & Incident: Upon return, your group became aggressive toward our representative, including physical interference and shouting, pointing that the situation may escalate. Our headquarters staff overheard everything via phone. Blocking an authorized staff member from boarding and threatening not to leave unless refunded, is unacceptable. We chose not to involve authorities at that time — for your own benefit — to avoid complications with your return trip. Please consider that before claiming you "did us a favor" by not calling the police.
• Fridge Damage: You punctured the freezer box, rendering it non-functional for the next client. We have photographic proof and check-in documentation confirming its good condition. Yet we did not charge you for the damage — even though repair or replacement is costly (approx. €2,000).
• Underwater Damage: A diver’s report from before and after your charter shows the keel was touched during your trip, something you never reported. Your attempts to escalate unrelated issues appear aimed at avoiding liability for this damage.
• Outboard Engine: It was fully functional at check-in (as acknowledged in the signed inventory). After your charter, it was returned damaged and unusable for the next client. Again, we didn’t charge for this.

Lastly, your suggestion that we fabricate responses is deeply unfair. We do not “lie” to clients. We support hundreds of satisfied customers yearly and maintain long-standing relationships with reputable agencies and direct clients. Our record and reputation speak for themselves, proving us as decent company and decent people.

We do not take lightly to threats, public defamation, or false accusations. We reserve the right to pursue all appropriate legal actions if our reputation continues to be misrepresented publicly.

That said, we remain open to respectful, solution-oriented communication. We stand by the professionalism of our team and the safety of our fleet, and we will continue to do so even when unfairly attacked.

Great service and good money!

Great service and good money!

We rented a catamaran for 10 days in Corfu and we had a really great time.

We had booked a Bali 4.0 and were upgraded freely to a Bali 4.2. Yacht was in great condition, everything was working fine. Only had a small issue with the dinghy motor.

Support was great, before, during and after the charter. We had some minor damage and Discovery took care of it free of charge.

Great company and always awailable. Big thumb up!

You have never been client of ours and have never rented any of your boats, therefore the review is purely harmful.
You are making this malicious review because you were not allowed to get on board a yacht that was being cleaned at the moment. You were kindly asked to meet the base manager in person, but you refused, insulted us, and hang the phone up while our employee was still suggesting solutions.

We hope you can book one of our yachts one day, and truly experience what a luxury charter feels like! :)
