Don’t Pass on this Incredible Experience!
I’m so grateful I came across this trip! I had the absolute best time sailing in the gorgeous Mediterranean to several of the Cyclades islands on the Blue Marlin. The boat was in great shape, clean, and the cabins comfy and cozy. I loved being rocked to sleep at night by the sea. Our Captain Nach was awesome and very informative. We sailed alongside their sister boat, The Christianna, and their Captain, Dennis, was also fabulous and very helpful with recommendations and insights on the trip. I’ll remember this trip forever.

Highly recommend sailing the Cyclades
It was great living on the Blue Marlin for a week, the crew got along fantastic together. Nils got us to each destination with enough time left in the day to stop and swim and still explore and get a feel for each islands unique vibe. Even when we were stranded on Paros for a day due to the weather we ended up having a blast riding ATVs all around the island. Absolutely fell in love with the Cyclades and will definitely be sailing again soon.

Great introduction to the Cycladic islands.
My friend and I felt very safe on the yacht and appreciated Nil's commitment to safety and looking after guest wellbeing. We enjoyed our time on the yacht even when we encountered a few windy days. Highly recommended.

Sailing, sun and swimming
There was just my husband and I with the skipper, Nils. He was very experienced and a looked after us well. It was very very windy at times but he managed the boat well. 3 or 4 times we anchored in a sheltered bay and swam from the boat which was stunning. Every night being in port was a different experience, we were moored right in the towns. My husband loved learning about the sailing and being able to assist with mooring and anchoring. The islands we visited were only decided on daily due to the winds.

A great experience highly recommended
We loved the trip!! We loved the Greek islands and the places to visit where the captain took us. Corné, the captain of our boat, was very friendly and friendly and we loved everything he prepared for us to eat. The sailboat was very comfortable, but it is true that we were lucky that it was not full. The issue of wind and rough seas must also be taken into account. We had only 1 day with a horrible wave, the rest was very calm, but that day I was almost 24 hours without feeling well from the great dizziness I had.

Simply amazing
We really enjoyed our week on the Blue Marlin. Gareth was fantastic, you could tell he’s passionate about sailing and Greece, and we learned a lot from him! We had never been to Greece before, but this was an amazing introduction to the Cyclades. In just a week, you hop between several islands, giving you the chance to dine on a different island every night, without the hassle of ferries or transfers. It definitely made us want to explore the rest of Greece by sailboat as well. On top of that, great music, good company, and delicious food made this holiday unforgettable. We highly recommend this trip!

Great late summer trip
This was our first trip with LiveAboard and Seafarer Sailing. It was late in the season (early October) but this was a good thing as towns and islands were quieter. The weather was a bit mixed to start with but made for better sailing. Once it was sunnier, the winds dropped but it was still beautiful to motor to the small Cylades islands. We had 5 guests aboard which was a perfect number in my opinion as the boat would have been too crowded with the full compliment of 8 guests. The boat itself is a little 'tired' and could do with some TLC. A little more investment in small things would have made the captains life a little easier too. Nils dealt with everything that was thrown at him though, and made some great recommendations about shore visits- restaurants in particular! We loved the stops in small bays to swim even though the water was colder than anticipated. We had a great time, and would do it again!

The price-travel quality leaves a lot to be desired
Although the trip is sold for 8 days there are actually 6, Santorini is also included as one of the islands to visit, but you have to do it independently, since the boat never approaches; and they should improve the ship's diet, the same breakfast every day and the food that comes in leaves a lot to say.

- I saw part of the islands I wanted to see. Desired comfort. In some respects it was insufficient.
