This is the second boat trip I and my family have taken with Simon as our skipper. The arrangements with Simon’s wife Liga were very simple and straightforward. The boat “Lady Liga” was superb, and Simon provided paddle board, snorkelling masks, fins and floats for our amusement. He arranged lunch for us at a fantastic beach restaurant in Italy and stopped several times in beautiful bays to allow us to swim and relax with the paddle board etc. It was a pleasure to spend the day on the boat and Simon was a knowledgable and competent skipper.
We would be delighted to arrange another trip with Simon and Liga, and would thoroughly recommend them.

Liga was easy to communicate with via email to assist with setting everything up. Simon was a great captain and insightful during the charter. He stopped to let us swim in safe areas, took us into the Monaco port/various ports, and showed us breathtaking views that can only be seen on boat. The charter was better than expected!

This is the second time we’ve rented with Simon and Liga. Service is great, really quick communication and really accommodating. The Princess V50 is awesome, never dreamt we’d be sailing into Monaco harbour sunbathing on the front of a boat. Plenty of swimming, Simon pointes out all the sights. We brought a few bottles of bubbles with us, put some music on the boats speaker and had the best of times. We’ll be back next here for a full day!

We chartered Simon’s Princess for a full day excursion and could not have enjoyed a better day.
I originally was going to charter a boat in the next bay along, having visited the area in June. The reviews for this other company put me off, and after further research found this company.
I read all the reviews and on the strength of other customers recommendations I made the booking.
I can honestly say that all the 5 star reviews are absolutely correct in the assessment of spending a day with Simon and his wonderful wife, Liga.
The weather on arrival was not great, and Simon went to great lengths to suggest alternative dates, so as not to be disappointed. He made every effort to accommodate all our needs.
As it turned out, after meeting for fresh coffee and croissants, the clouds cleared, the sun came out, and off we went.
Simon gave us a perfect tour of the area, plenty of sightseeing, stops for swimming, and a potted history of the area.
He phoned ahead and booked lunch at a lovely seafood restaurant just over the border into Italy. They met us by small boat, took us ashore, and provided us with wonderful fresh food, whilst looking out to sea, and “our” boat!
What a perfect way to spend a day.
I cannot recommend Simon and his wife highly enough. Nothing is too much trouble, they make every effort to accommodate their clients needs, and you cannot fail to have a wonderful time.
We can’t wait to return, and will certainly be booking with them again.
Simon, Liga..... thank you both so much for a wonderful and most memorable day. Andrew

I decided to treat my wife for her 50th and sailed with Giami for a sunset champagne trip.
What a fantastic experience we had-the best time of her life Tracey said so I was certainly happy that I booked this wonderful experience!
Of course the Princess V50 was fabulously luxurious,the scenery amazing-we stopped twice for swimming -and the charming company of Giami was excellent.
What made such a big impression on us was the impeccable service and personal touches that Liga and Simon provided.
Superb customer service from the initial contact,through to exchanges with Liga and the personal send off from Liga and Simon...and Simon even greeted us on our arrival back.
I wholeheartedly recommend them-whether you want a treat for a couple or a trip with a larger group you will have a fantastic time!!
Thank you Liga,Simon and Giami...we will for sure be back...you made Tracey’s special day an unforgettable experience!
