We had the best holiday ever

Bareboat Charter >
Bareboat, Skippered Charter, Flotilla and/or Skippered Training also Shore-Based Hotel and Villa holidays but Bareboat sailing allows experienced and certificated sailors to take a yacht and plan their own itinerary. Bareboat Yacht Charter is where you hire and sail the yacht yourself, we supply no crew just the yacht.

 It was a perfect break away

Stay and Sail Option >
Living aboard a yacht for the whole of your holiday is not everyone's cup of tea but this should not put you off a sailing holiday. Stay & Sail is the option for you. Popular 2-week combinations are to spend the first week of your holiday sailing and the second week ashore relaxing and exploring.

What a fantastic two weeks I have just had

Some Feedback Letters from flotilla, skippered charters, bareboat sailing and also shore-based holiday clients

Client Comments

I wanted to thank you and all the staff at Sunvil for making my trip so wonderful. I had absolutely no idea what i was letting myself in for having booked the day before, but was pleasantly surprised by the people, the course content and the style and the generally laid back but well organised experience you all worked hard to create. It was a perfect introduction to sailing, with just the right balance between tuition and fun. I learnt an enormous amount from Cliff who is an excellent tutor and a fantastic, enthusiastic chap, and will recommend this to all my friends. I hope to come back next year with some of the lovely people i met on the flotilla, and I definitely want to do my theory exam before then.

We would like to thank you and your skippers, Andy, Stu, Alan and Cliff, for giving us the best two weeks holiday! Our skipper Stu was fantastic, we learnt so much but more importantly had so much fun, on and off the boat.

We will return next year and will be requesting Stu to skipper us again. Also, a mention for Andy who was on the lead yacht for the two weeks, he was unbelievably helpful when we needed earlier flights home, and was professional and knowledgeable yet entertained the whole party both weeks with his games and tricks and was again, so much fun! You have all instilled a new enthusiasm in me with sailing; I am looking into doing my day skipper in the UK. So thank you again and we will be recommending you to anyone who will listen!
R&DD August 2010

Our family enjoyed one of your sailing trips the week of July 4th and I was hoping I could get our skipper, Cliff Haigh s email address so I could send him a thank you note. We had a wonderful time and Cliff was terrific with my two boys and did a great job of helping them overcome their fears of sailing.  Now they love to sail! Thanks so much.
JR July 2010

Thank you for an excellent holiday, all the family enjoyed it enormously, our youngest grandson, Fraser, is now saving up for a yacht! I should perhaps also apologise to the cleaner of the villa, and hope that the bathroom was not too unpleasant. It was very nice to have fresh linen it middle of the week, and the villa and pool were very clean and well equipped.
FMcG July 2010

I keep meaning to email after the sailing holiday I was on in July. I had a brilliant time- excellent teaching with Cliff (I've never sailed before) and a great team of skippers all round! I really appreciated how helpful you were when originally booking the holiday- especially since I was traveling on my own- the whole process was seamlessly easy and I cannot thank you and your team enough for a fantastic time! I have been recommending your company to whoever will listen!
RS July 2010

I would be grateful if you would pass on my thanks to everyone involved in what was a wonderful two weeks. We were skippered the first week by Stuart, for whom we all developed the greatest respect. In the second week we were out on our own, but all the other guys helped and encouraged us whenever and wherever possible. In particular, Andy, as lead skipper for the two weeks was always helpful, relaxed and great company. The same applies to Alan and Cliff. The professionalism and helpfulness of all four guys made the holiday, and we all miss their company. I have the bug, and would be very grateful if you would let me have details of any follow up courses so I can build on the fortnight I have completed
RF July 2010

I would like to personally thank you and your team for an excellent holiday as such we would definitely consider a return trip. The skipper team was fun, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, patient and clearly love their job. Andy as lead skipper has a very good communication style, he was relaxed and to the point which made for an excellent week of sailing coupled with some very chilled times. The flotilla route provide some good winds, exceptional views and fabulous food (especially the restaurant Tomorrow) which for both Jan and I was the best restaurant of the week. Congratulations on the quality of holiday you and your team provide.
M&J July 2010

Just to say another excellent week. Andy's tuition is first class, simple with good analogies, similes and humour. He is also excellent company.  Nick was pleased to get his day skipper and I was able to put some more experience under my belt. Thanks also for a boat with a real wheel and a crazy yank who does Buzz Lightyear impressions (you will see the photos). Hope our musical renditions didn't drive away your customers!

What a superb experience w/c 6 June, thank you. I have a great picture for the website, 5 boats all rafted up in Cliff Bay, each boat having a bikini-clad girl standing on the pulpit. The Royal Navy never had figureheads like these!!
DH June 2010

Just to let you know that our party had a wonderful week sailing from 6th June. Your skipper Stu look after us very well indeed.  What a lovely 19 year old. Exactly the sort of lad that you would like your daughter to bring home!! It was a repeat trip for me and although we covered the same route it was certainly very much as enjoyable as my first trip with you last June.  I do hope the limbs and the 's enable me to return.  
DN June 2010

Just a quick line to say thanks for another fab weeks sailing. You have a really good crew out in Greece, who made us feel very welcome, and went the extra mile in everything. This included helping some friends we met unexpectedly out there on a boat (Sail Ionian), by phoning ahead to try and get a berth near us in Palairos. Five stars for all of them. We will be sailing with you again.
DR&CM May 2010

Hi just to say thanks to you and all the team for another great two weeks.  I m sat here at my desk in not so sunny Manchester and the screen is bobbing up and down  so obviously not got my land legs back in order yet! It was great to meet you after all this time Allan and good to make so many new friends. Once again - very many thanks for everything
VD August 2009

Allan, we have just returned to the UK after spending an absolutely fabulous week aboard Polikos .  The week was spent with great company and great fun.  I would like to extend on behalf of my family our sincere thanks to the skippers, Alan, Tom & Andy who made the week so enjoyable.  We had a slight problem with the head sail on our first boat, Ira, but the well practised team made sure that a transfer to a new boat was made efficiently and quickly so as not to spoil the experience of the holiday.  They were always attentive and considerate and made sure that the week went smoothly.  Particular thanks must go to Andy (Andrew Cameron) who was the skipper on our boat.  We were all complete beginners and he brought us all through to Competent Crew status by the end of the week, he did so in a very relaxed and easy-going way the nevertheless ensured that we absorbed the information.  Please pass on our thanks to the lads for a great week that has ensured that we will be back again.

Just sitting down and looking thru the photos of my two weeks and remembering what a fantastic time we had. 
As you know the circumstances of my holiday changed at a late stage and your help was fantastic in fact all the arrangements and experience has to be said was first class. Darren was a very competent skipper who taught both Jeff and myself a lot thru the first week and really helped me on the first day, when I was taken really ill, his advice proved to be superb and I recovered very quickly. All your staff proved to be great fun and made our holiday the best time I could have asked for they all should be congratulated. I will tell all family and friends what a great experience you can offer.
RF July 2009

Been back in the real world for a week now and wanted to say a big thank you to your team at Greece. Week 1 Richard and I were looked after by "Darren". A star player. We had hours of great fun sailing and, because after all it s a holiday, many entertaining evenings at various ports in the area. He was informative, professional and entertaining!! During week 1 the remainder of your team was also first class. Listening to the other boats in the flotilla the crews were appropriately looked after by their skippers. Very pleased that we had been awarded our Day Skippers week 2 saw us both going solo!! What fun. We joined in with the rest of the team every evening and doing our own thing some lunchtimes. Trying to take on board everything Darren had taught us we had a great second week. With a sailing holiday being a bit like Big Brother on the water many friendships were formed and experiences gained. You are in at the deep end. Again many thanks to your team and to your administrators for getting my name onto a ticket at the last minute!! PS. should mention "Scottish Alan" a real gem!! Needs a hair cut!!
GY July 2009

I have just come back from a sailing holiday in Lefkas (we were on Yanni G) and would just like to say thank you for an absolutely amazing week. I had such a good time and will definitely continue to sail in the future - I am already looking through my calendar to work out when I can come back!! The weather was of course perfect and the destinations that we explored during the week were beautiful (I even got used to not being able to straighten my hair!!!!). Our skipper, Tom, was excellent. He had a very good teaching style; allowing us to learn by doing but in a controlled manner - we always felt safe which is important I think when learning a new skill. He was very polite and friendly and made sure we all had a great holiday. I have been spreading the word around work and have had a couple of people say that they would be interested in learning more about the holiday so I have forwarded your offer email to them. I hope that you hear from them soon. Thank you again.

Allan, Hi, its PM,  I was the one traveling with SK from the US.  We had such a fabulous time on our sail, thank you so much for everything.  Jon and Tom couldn't have done a better job.  They made it easy and fun for everyone.  I'm already referring people to do this trip.  Hopefully I can get more of my friends to do it and I can come back with them.  We ll see!!  Thanks again for everything, take care, P.  Say hi to Jon and Tom for me, and that I miss them.  Bye!!
PM & SK June 2009

Thanks for a fantastic sailing week, your staff were helpful and good company. Loved the Greek islands and mainland. Food was very good and at a reasonable price. I was particularly impressed with how friendly the Greek people are. The weather was perfect, will be back again.
MG May 2009

Both my crews had a great time in Greece and we are already talking about next year. Alan and his fellow skippers are the best team that I can remember in Greece and Croatia, and I have met a lot of them over the years.
