Bareboat Charter - Crew of 8 from Germany - 1 week from Volos in September 2021
Our trip to Volos went very well, it was another wonderful sailing trip. A big thank you to you and MIXit Sailing for the smooth and professional handling of the booking !
Your local colleagues were very friendly and helpful, especially your friend Petros. The takeover and return of the Bavaria C45 went without a hitch.
Unfortunately, the wind conditions were a bit modest during the week, so we were only able to sail properly on one day. But that's the way it is with sailing, you just make the best of it!
The C45 is also a great boat. There is enough space on board for 8 people. I would especially like to mention the kitchenette with the large refrigerators. This is simply a great solution.
There is also plenty of storage space. The boat is also very easy to sail, which is even easier with the self-tacking jib. However, we had to realise that a few more square metres of sail would be better :-)
Notes: Thank you very much for yor feedback, we look forward to welcoming you back another time.

It was pleasure getting sailboat from mixit sailing as always. Phil was great and fast finding us a boat that suits our needs for the best price on the market. Even the last day before the trip He offered a better and newer boat for the same price. The Sun Odyssey 410 sailboat was completely new and was pleasure and easy to sail. We had great time on it. Strongly recommend to anybody that want worry free sailing booking and we will use mixit again and again.
Notes: Thank you so much for this excellent review, the Sun Odyssey 410 is an great yacht and glad we could upgrade you to the newest one. Thank you for booking with us and we look forward to welcoming back another time.
Bareboat Charter - Crew of 4 from Holland - 2 weeks from Skiathos in September 2021
We sailed for 2 wonderful weeks with the jeanneau Sun Odyssey 39.i. The area near the Sporades is
fantastically beautiful and still relatively quiet. During the holiday it turned out that the on-board batteries were not working properly. These were replaced by new ones on Skopelos without any problem. The boat was also technically well equipped and has good sailing characteristics.
Communication with Mixit Sailings was excellent and clear. We can recommend everyone to rent a sailing yacht through them.
Notes: Thank you for this excellent review, I will pass on to the base crew. I am glad you enjoyed your 2 weeks in the Sporades and sorry about the battery problem and pleased we managed to sort this out quickly. Many thanks to you for this booking and I hope to be able to welcome you back again sometime. I the meantime please take care and best wishes to all.
Bareboat Charter - Crew of 4 from Belgium - 1 week from Volos in September 2021
Due to Covid we had to postpone our trip several times. Philip from Mixit was always very helpful in arranging everything and giving advice for our extra insurance.
In Volos we were warmly welcomed by Ria and Demitris. All formalities were correctly and pleasantly arranged. The yacht was in perfect order.
The Meltimi forced us to anchor for 2 days in the small harbor of Kottes, not the best place to stay with the wind blowing right into the harbour. Fortunately the yacht was in good order and we had 100 meters of anchor chain to insure ourselves against the strong wind. The other yachts were less happy with their shorter anchor chains. Thanks to the solar panel, we also had no problems with the energy on board so that we could run the fridge.
The days we sailed were great, the boat is very stable and little wind was needed to be able to sail at 5 knots.
We hope to come back to sail to the Sporades in better conditions and hope we will be available to sail her again.
Notes: Thank you for this excellent review feedback. You certainly had a challenging weather week I am sorry to say but you and your crew and the yacht managed this well. In this type of situation we see the benefits of a solid not new build yacht which has been tried and tested and improved over the years. Kottes is one of my favourite places and if I was to choose to be stuck anywhere ….

Bareboat Charter - Crew of 4 from Switzerland - 10 Days from Volos in August 2021
Due to the forest fires on Evia, we changed our plan and we cruised in the Sporades up to Kira Panagia.
This yacht was perfectly corresponding with your description and our expectations : large and confortable boat well maintained, we were 4 persons aboard and it has not been necessary to refill the water during the cruise.
I think that up to 6 persons, this yacht is really a good choice for cruising.
Very good fridge for preparing some cold beers for the evening ;-)
The welcome team: Special mention to Georgos who is a very kind person and who knows perfectly well this yacht ... in other words, check-in has been done very quickly and very efficiently. No waste of time, always there when he said and we stayed in contact by Whatsapp during the cruise. Excellent communication skills.
Coming back to Volos, everything was organized : Covid tests, refueling, etc ... In two words : really nice and efficient guy !!!
Notes: Thank you for your feedback and glad you found an alternative route, maybe the Evia trip next year :-) This is an exceptional yacht for 2005 build with a good price to match and therefore, as you say, 'a good choice for cruising'. Thank you also for your kind words about the 'welcome team'.
Bareboat Charter - Crew of 9 from the UK - 1 week from Volos in August 2021
Hi Phil, we had a really lovely, relaxing holiday on the Beneteau Oceanis 46 sailing around the Sporades islands. Our highlights included eating out at authentic Greek Tavernas right on the beach or on the quayside. Anchoring at different beaches everyday , where we dived or swam off the large swim platform and then a short and pleasant sail to our next destination for the evening. Here are the teenagers in our group having a movie night under the stars on a warm evening - Greek yacht style :-)
We enjoyed the holiday so much that we all want to do it all again next year!
Notes: Thank you so much for this excellent review and for sure very happy to organise it again next year :-)

Thanks for the note. We had a great time again this year although we had to deal with less than ideal waters (lots of jellyfish this year :( ) Planning to take a trip in the Ionian next year. I'll ping you if we return to the sporades the following year.
Notes: Rescheduled from 2020 to 2021 due to Covid, many thanks for coming back again for 2 weeks this time. Sorry about the Jellyfish, this does happen from time to time in certain bays. A change is always good, I hope we can welcome you back again in 2023.
Bareboat Charter - Crew of 8 from Serbia - 1 week from Volos in July 2021
The yacht is really good, the owner - Joanna - is really kind and helpful. Everything on the boat is in really good condition, the boat itself is very fast and comfortable, we will gladly choose this boat over and over again. We did the tour around Sporades islands, and this Bavaria 46 is ideal for the trip.
Notes: Thank you very much for this review and for booking this yacht again. This is a 2007 build yacht maintained in excellent condition and once you have experienced this you know you are safe to book it again and again.
