KYMO

We had a great time on board Kymo. We are giving the skipper, Giorgos (spelling may be wrong), our very best recommendations. He is obviously a very skilled and competent skipper but we also enjoyed his presence on board. We would have liked to get some more wind, but that’s off course hard to request from your company. The boat, brand new, was very nice and fulfilled all our expectations. Hopefully we will get to enjoy a similar vacation next year.

We had a wonderful week with KYMO sailing Sporades. Please find below what one of the members of our team, Andromachi Sofocleous, wrote about our sailing trip. ‘Sailing with Kymo has been an extraordinary experience that we thoroughly enjoyed. Such a venture greatly relies on the boat in order to make it successful and what a formidable experience this has been with Kymo. The boat exceeded all expectations as it was spacious and equipped to the utmost detail while at no point did we feel that there was anything lacking. Besides, all the Sail Aegean staff made sure to assure us that they were available 24/7 and this enhanced the level of ease that we enjoyed. The ride was at all times as smooth as it goes and the best choice for enjoying Sporades. Kymo has become our favourite of niriides in greek mythology and we are already making plans for the next trip’.

We had a bareboat charter mini flotilla with Sail Aegean last May with 2 yachts. The jeanneau 54, Kymo and the Lagoon 42, Sao. Both yachts were in immaculate condition! The service and the approach of all the staff was excellent. Being a sailing instructor I have chartered extensively all over Greece. We had a great experience with sail aegean and I certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a charter in the picturesque area of Sporades.

It has been the the 6th. time that I charter with your company. I started with the 40’ Thalassa for 3 years in a row and moved on this year to Kymo, the 54’ Jeanneau. Chartering from your company has always been a very satisfying experience. When we arrive in Volos and meet Christos, it almost feels like coming home after a long time away. Your service and ground crew (especially also the Loutraki staff) have done a great job as always. Kymo performed excellent. We were on board with 8 people, but it never felt crowded. The room out- and inside are impressive and the swimming platform is a very good option. The airconditioning is excellent. The generator is very quiet compared to some other yachts I sailed. In regard to sailing performance, this boat likes a breeze. Although the winds were relatively light , one day we had winds up to 20 knots and with the gennaker raised, we pushed the boat to 12 knots. Absolutely beautiful to see how this boat performs under these conditions. Overall again an excellent experience thanks to SailAegean. The only downfall to this trip is that once you sailed the 54’ for a week, it is almost impossible to go smaller again.

I chartered Kymo from Skiathos on the above dates through Latesail in the UK, and I wanted to tell what a great trip we had. I have chartered many yachts over the years in Greece and Turkey, and this was by far the best boat, but more importantly Sail Aegean were the best company I have dealt with. Christos was extremely helpful and accommodating when we all realised that the floating pontoon was not going to be available giving me various alternative options. Panos was a star. From check-in to check out he was faultless ad quick to the few questions I had once we had sailed.

As a skipper I was in various places in Croatia and in Italy Sardinia. I made about 3000sm so far. This Year we were the first time in Greece. Crew 8 people. Intention - Family Törn. At arrival on the base in Volos I was highly impressed of the professionality and friendliness of all the base members. The handing over of the boat was very structured and complete. Unfortunately due to the late arrival at the airport we had to sleep the first night in the base (Despite Volos is a nice town). Through the whole Törn Georgios provided us with very useful informations per telephone where to stay overnight. This was really helpful. Thanks again to Georgios for that. So the destinations were: Trikeri-Skiathos Loutraki, Skopelos. Very impressive locations. The Kymo: For me the first time a 54 ft boat. I was astonished how easy it is to sail. Between Skiathos and Skopelos we had approximately 25 knots gusts 35. I reffed a 1third both genoa and main - upwind not even a bit of windward or leeward tendency - felt great, very stabile and - just mighty. After 1 week (far too short) we returned to the base in Volos relaxed and without any difficulties. Overall an extraordinary nice sailing experience in an amazing area. Thanks again SAIL AEGEAN and see you hopefully next year of course with the same boat.
