5 stars are not enough. My husband and I spent 3 incredible days on the Aegean with Panos, Ina and Alex in mid-September as part of our honeymoon. We were greeted with welcome drinks/snacks and given a thorough safety overview before setting sail for 3 magical days.
Panos, the ship's owner, served as captain for our trip. He involved us in planning the agenda, dropped anchor in beautiful inlets only accessible by boat and took us to some of the smaller Cyclades we would not otherwise have explored. In addition to this, he took pictures, made dinner reservations for us and sourced ingredients for our meals aboard.
Ina took fantastic care of us -- making sure we never went hungry or thirsty. She prepared the most beautiful breakfasts and lunches with the freshest ingredients and kept us well supplied with Mythos, wine and water. Weeks later and we're still talking about those perfect Mediterranean lunches.
Alex served as second captain for our trip. He took us ashore in the dingy, went swimming and snorkeling with us, and worked closely with Panos to ensure our safe travel. In addition to making sure we were having fun, he also served as the resident doctor aboard. I had a fall going between the dingy and ship and later cut my arm while snorkeling, Alex quickly jumped in to assess and treat my injuries.
I genuinely cannot say enough good things about our time with this team. We had the best time and are so glad we booked with Xanemo. We ended our trip as friends with promises to return soon for another sail.
