Southern Ionian Flotilla Reviews

Verified

Flotilla takes the hassle out of bareboat. It combines the freedom with the knowledge that you'll always have a berth at the end of the day. Our lead boat...the all girl crewed Mariane went above and beyond to ensure we all had a great holiday. If we needed any assistance we were assisted, if anything broke it was repaired, nothing was too much trouble and everything was fun! We're already planning on booking again next year. Thanks for the great laughs and memories!

Really excellent flotilla crew, and the base was fantastic - being able to spend time there whilst waiting for a later flight was a real bonus. The only downside was the sailing equipment on the Beneteau 331 - no navigation aids, no auto-pilot, not even any wind instruments. These are not essential, but they do make for a more enjoyable and relaxing experience whilst sailing, and are quite standard from other companies.

Excellent lead crew. Azaria, Eloise, Trace. Professional, fun and competent. Excellent at taking the steam out of mooring. There were a number of family rows that didn’t happen!

Had an excellent flotilla holiday this year. We requested to change flotillas due to the route and visited Sivota, Fiskardo, Big Vathi, Kioni and Abelaki. We also upgraded the yacht to a 375 which gave us a bit more space, headroom and an excellent shower. We had a great lead crew of Jacques, Rachel and George. It was so good we’ve booked to go again next year. I just wished that the yachts were newer.

Great boat, great people, our lead boat team really went above and beyond to help. The base staff were friendly and helpful nothing was too much trouble. Great places to visit. Love the shower gel and shampoo on the boat. We’re disappointed when booking that we didn’t get RYA and repeat customer discount. But a lovely holiday again. Thank you.

I love flotilla holidays, and Neilson's do them very well. They don't charge for extras like some of their competitors. They have their base at Vounaki beachclub, with facilities from showers to restaurant, and leisure facilities that are great to have if your flights give you time to spare on the first or last days. I wish Neilson didn't just do flotillas in the Ionian!

We have had numerous ski, beach club and Flotilla holidays over the last twenty years. All have been the same rating as above, if we had any niggles (I can’t think of any but there must have been some) they have been sorted out without delay. Fellow Neilson holidaymakers have in our experience been polite, respectful and considerate in line with the example set by the staff. Keep up the good work Neilson!

Great holiday. Flight was good value and made the difference for us. Neilson price was very competitive with other flotillas operators. The yachts though older are very well maintained and fully kitted out. Fabulous lead crew throughout. We were very happy with our choice.

Great supporting crew.
