Great booking experience with Elpida - she worked very hard hard to secure the catamaran we wanted for our family holiday in August, answering all our queries promptly and being super helpful all round!
A HUGE thank you from my family. Yacht4less (Kate was our agent) was referred to us from a seasoned charter family a couple of years ago and you will most definitely be our go to for all charters.
We had the holiday of a lifetime with our 4 teenage children sailing around the Ionian islands on a fabulous Lagoon 55 catamaran. Basically a floating 5 star hotel!
