To our lovely Captain Apostoli and crew,
Dear Captain Apostolis and crew,
Thank you very much for the unforgettable week.
We had the best time with this top class crew of Captain Apostolis. Every member of his team must surely be handpicked. Nothing was too much trouble for this team, always anticipating the needs of the guests. One could sail all the Aegean, Mediterranean & Ionian seas and not find a better crew to show visitors the beauty of the Greek islands .
We had the best time on this yacht, made extra special by the people who took care of us , and take away memories that will last a lifetime. The smiles on our faces will remain for the next few weeks.
Thank you from all of us
