Greece

"Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed the flotilla. Everything worked perfectly, Odysseus were brilliant, the guys on the lead boat - Jack and Davide - were top class, great fun and really made the experience brilliant. So all in all my experience couldn’t have been better. You are running a really great operation and would recommend you very strongly."

Corfu Flotilla 2019 - P.N.

"I was planning my 60th birthday lunch for family and friends with my daughter, when she said "what do you REALLY want to do Mum?" The reply...."sail". The lunch booking was cancelled and I made contact with Nautilus. Friends told me that I would never manage a 36' Bavaria and certainly not stern to mooring. Wrong! I was introduced to sailing late, at 53, and certainly did not feel confident but the Ionian flotilla is easy. I spent hours watching stern to mooring videos on Youtube but you don't need the Sailing Virgins when you have flotilla crew to hand!! Live your dreams, book it, do it. It's been one of the best events of my life. Thanks Nautilus, you'll see us again."

Turkey

"We all had a wonderful sailing holiday out of Marmaris in the 479. GMM Yachting were exceptionally helpful. I would recommend them to anyone. The boat was in pristine condition and sailed like a dream. For the most part the winds were favourable and we had our best sailing ever. Thanks for organising the charter for us. We now have to choose where to go next year!"

"First time visit for us to Turkey and charter. We were thrilled from start to finish, endless coves and places to eat plus everyone was extremely friendly. We'll be back again."

Gocek 2018 - C.F.

"We picked up the 40' Bavaria from Gocek and sailed to Fethiye bay stopping off at numerous bays and coves on the way which were all incredibly beautiful with clear turquoise water. Fethiye marina has a lovely pool, bar and restaurant. We were lucky and had some good sailing breeze in the afternoons. Everyone was really helpful and friendly and the restaurants were all great with masses of delicious local food and fresh fish. The yacht had everything we needed and was perfect for the five of us. Thank you so much for a fabulous holiday that we will never forget."

Croatia

"My husband, two children (19 and 20years) and I had a fabulous time on our southern Split flotilla. From booking, to getting our boat and right through the whole holiday, Nautilus were fantastic. The boat was spotless, well kitted out and everything in perfect working order. Helen and Harley took us to fantastic places, were very knowledgeable about the area and the people, organised great social events, booked restaurants for us and were there for us to deal with any problems. I would recommend Nautilus to everyone, we have been on a few flotilla holidays and this is by far the best. "

Trogir Flotilla 2019 - S.T.

"We had a fantastic time - so thank you for helping us organise it. The scenery is absolutely stunning and the culture and history of Montenegro is very interesting. Kotor is a beautiful city too and the bays and waters are clean."

"I just wanted to say how incredibly impressed I’ve been with all aspects of your service. Throughout, the process has been quick and efficient with quick responses on all queries and even help with issues like arranging delivery of provisions. The charter company and quality of yacht was excellent. For the first time ever I had to make a claim against the indemnity policy for some small damage to the hull (cost less than the policy cost), this was approved within 24 hrs which is huge peace of mind. I do two sailing holidays a year and now won’t book with anyone else (if you can offer us a good deal which I’m sure you can!)"

"Our sailing holiday from Portisco was a great success. The Dufour 412 is the best yacht I have ever sailed and Boomerang are the best fleet I have ever chartered with. "

"Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed last weeks sailing around the Stockholm archipelago. The boat was by far the best we have ever chartered. As a cruising area it's definitely on the return list !!"

"A very enjoyable and relaxing fortnight’s charter in the Abacos. A beautiful and tranquil archipelago of sand-fringed islands. Sailing was in the Sea of Abaco, a large lagoon, often with only 2m below our keels, so we were very glad that we had chosen a catamaran! We were very lucky in chartering Odin, a new Lagoon 42 Luxe. She was spacious and really well equipped, with several very useful mod cons such as air-con and a water-maker. A lovely catamaran! There were several picturesque and well sheltered harbours with a couple of restaurants, though we spent most nights in anchorages, often on our own. We only ate out 3 times, but those meals were good. The conch is the local speciality! On several of the Cays, golf buggies replaced cars and we had lots of offers of lifts from friendly residents. There were some good snorkelling spots and we had several close encounters with delightful turtles! All in all, a really good holiday! Thank you, Nautilus!"

Bahamas 2018 - V.M.

"Our whole time in the Grenadines could not have been better. After two days on Bequia visiting friends, a brilliant four to five hour sail with a perfect wind took us down to Salt Whistle Bay on the island of Mayreau. A very busy anchorage where locals acted as parking attendants to squeeze in as many boats as possible to maximize customers for their shore barbeque where they fed us an excellent dinner. The following morning we did the very short passage round to the Tobago Cays. There followed two nights of gorgeous weather, lovely snorkelling with turtles cruising about everywhere and lobster dinners ashore. Could not have been better. "
