Testimonials

From start to finish, our experience with Nautilus and Odysseus Yachting was exceptional. The whole process was friendly, efficient, and reassuring from the first enquiry to the final handover.

Our yacht was immaculate — spotless, beautifully presented, and essentially brand new. The in-country Odysseus team were simply fantastic: welcoming, knowledgeable, and always ready to help. A particular mention to Tara and Powell from the bare-boat support team, whose professionalism and good humour made everything effortless.

Even when the weather turned and storms rolled in, the support was faultless. We were expertly guided into Mandraki Harbour by Corfu Town, where the team met us on arrival and calmly helped us berth safely despite the strong winds.

It’s rare to find a company that combines such efficiency with genuine warmth and care. The whole experience was outstanding, and I could not recommend Nautilus or Odysseus more highly. We’ll definitely be sailing with them again. - C.B. Corfu 2025

Love these guys. Our relationship goes back 8 years - that speaks for itself. Recommend them to all my friends and now to you - whoever you are. The most important part of their service is that they take the risk out of yacht charter because they vet the fleet. If the fleet is not up to scratch, Nautilus scratch the fleet. Simples. Happy floating. - N.T. Athens 2024

"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."

"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."

Excellent customer service for our flotilla in Turkey and flawless planning. We had the misfortune to lose our dinghy in rough seas we were so pleased we had paid the insurance premium. Immediate compensation, no questions asked. Excellent service. S.A - Fethiye Flotilla 2024

"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."

Just back from a fabulous week of sailing with Nautilus in Croatia. As complete sailing novices it was easy to check in at the marina, the yacht was just as the pictures showed, so new and really well kitted out and Petar was the best skipper we could have hoped for. He was so knowledgeable of all the islands, knew all the places we would like and restaurants and tailored a perfect week for us. Thanks to Kali at head office for answering my huge list of questions before we set off and matching us to Petar.

We would definitely holiday with Nautilus again and have already been recommending you. E.P. - Split 2025

Just come back from a week in Croatia. The level of service provided by Russell in the Uk was excellent, on arrival at the Marina Laurena was also super efficient and helpful. Brilliant experience, can’t fault anything. Can’t wait to return. A.S. - Split 2024

We could not have had a better week aboard in Montenegro on the Bali 5.4 luxury catamaran. It was our 1st time doing this type of vacation onboard a sailing catamaran and it was the BEST! We made memories that will last a lifetime. The booking experience before the sailing was exceptional, with excellent detail and knowledge by Russel who helped us and answered all our questions to make sure we make the right choices for our need and book our sailing holiday. Russel was right.

The catamaran itself was incredible. It was a brand new, modern, and equipped with so many fun toys. Our favorite part of the yacht (although hard to choose!) were the water toys and the sleeping accommodations. The itinerary was perfect. Our skipper Bojan set up a wonderful adventure for us and we got to see everything we wanted. Bojan was super knowledgeable and shared many stories for all the places we visited. It was fun to hang out with.

We will be doing this trip again in the future and we will not hesitate to come back to Nautilus Yachting Ltd and looking for Russel and his recommendations when we do. G.S-J. - Kotor 2024

"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. "

"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."

We've just returned from our bareboat charter to Sardinia and would like to say thanks very much for organising it all, we all had a fantastic week. The sailing area gave us so many options to visit some stunning locations and the consistent wind gave us our best sailing week we’ve ever had. Brilliant! - R.L. Sardinia 2024

"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 !!"

We have used Nautilus Yachting since our very first learn to sail holiday 10 years ago. Since then we have chartered boats many times and I can honestly say that they have looked after us so well, I would trust this company completely and can highly recommend. We’ve had 15 sailing holidays now and Nautilus is always my first port of call!

We have just returned from a fantastic week in Corfu, so I just wanted to share our experiences. R.B. - BVI 2025

We started to charter with Nautilus Yachting in 2000. Since then we have had 15 sailing yacht charters (monohulls & catamarans) in the Caribbean, Bahamas, Belize, Mediterranean, etc. Clearly this shows the high esteem in which we hold Nautilus Yachting.

They have always given us good advice on locations and yachts and have liaised very efficiently with the charter bases. We have always found their staff friendly and helpful. Unreservedly, we recommend them! M.M. - Bahamas 2025

"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!"

"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. "
