boat hire in Nydri · Bavaria — Cruiser 36 With Aircodition (2005)

Very attentive, pleasant experience

We had an amazing week on Marianna, the boat was well maintained perfect for our family of four. It was a dream holiday, we loved it, thanks to the whole team.

We have rented the Bavaria 36 Marianna for one month in July 2022. Very nice experience. Of course, the Ionian islands are a marvellous place, with good wind in the afternoon, not too much waves, incredible landscapes, and a lot of small bays where you can anchor alone, under incredible starry sky. But, in particular, the Dakis team is full of very nice people ! Whatever we need, Dakis and his team were always available to help or to find a solution ! Very high level of services, and always with a smile ! Marianna is not brand new, but she is in good condition, very easy to sail, and with good performance under sails, even when sailing close to the wind ! The ratio quality on price is also very good. Very good experience ! We strongly recommend the very nice Dakis company.

The Boat (Marianna) was absolutely excellent. It is not new but it is well kept, tried and tested and expertly rigged to sail singlehandedly. Dakis is an amazing owner. We had absolutely no problem with check-in or check-out but this might be due to the fact that we did care for the boat and kept asking via messages about anything we weren't sure about how the boat is setup. Dakis is very nice and helpful, he answered all of our messages and we couldn't help but feel we were being treated as friends and not just clients. While I was booking the boat it said it was moored at Lefkada when in reality it's based in Vlycho but long before we arrived Dakis assured me he would bring the boat to Lefkada when we arrived and we would return it in Vlycho from where he would takes us back to Lefkada. He was true to his word so we didn't have any additional costs because of that. Additionally Vlycho is a very picturesque place and to end it all on a high note, after we've returned the boat Dakis treated us all to a fantastic dinner in a Tavern just by the boat. I will definitely bring my business to him again and I highly recommend you do to.

Amazing boat - would highly recommend. The boat is fitted out (equipment, instruments & rigging) for personal use so a lot of good features that make short-handed sailing much easier versus standard rental boat. We rented the boat for 6 weeks during September and October, and Marianna felt like home immediately. Very comfortable interior and easy sail handling. Kitchen and appliances all fully functional, interiors clean and the boat is spacious enough 6 people, or 4 people for longer periods. We had no problem staying on the boat for weeks at a time, including at anchor multiple days. Dakis is very friendly, capable and knows the area well. Throughout our trip, he was available through texts to discuss plans and help us familiarize with the Ionian, including finding nice lesser known anchorages. Language is OK but helps if you speak Greek.

Really nice experience. The boat was in perfect conditions, extra fuel and tools also in the boat. They explained us the main spots around. I would recommend them with no doubts.
