Kairós is definitely the most perfect ship – familiar & cosy!

I would give 10 stars, if it would be possible. From a stunning and comfortable boat to a crew that goes the extra mile and leaves no wish unfulfilled. Our cook Dave was amazing! The Captain Leon made us feel safe during rougher sea. I can understand why people come back regularly and I can’t wait to be back myself.

A guest on RHEA during the trip from Corfu to Porto Rafti/Athen

We had the pleasure of sailing on Chronos as a private charter with our best friends to celebrate several anniversaries. Chronos is a stylish and spacious yacht with all the comforts you would expect during a 5 star hotel stay, including excellent food, sundowners, plenty of space and luxury cabins with en-suite shower rooms and friendly and service oriented staff. We shared many special moments with our friends during our week long trip, including waking up in the most beautiful anchorages, lots of swimming and watersports, visits to picturesque villages, watching dolphins play in our bow wave, meals on the aft deck while cruising along the Amalfi coast, and fun evening parties. The captain and his crew did their very best to make our visit a special one and were flexible in accommodating our groups wishes - including landfall for guests who flew in and out during the week. We had many personal stories and speeches during the week and some of us partied until the early hours, yet the crew always maintained a discrete, respectful and professional approach to all of our guests. We could feel that they enjoyed that we were having fun. There was a very friendly and positive vibe on board throughout the week and we received many nice messages from our guests afterwards. We all miss Chronos and hope to be a guest again at some point in the future!

I wanted to let Sailing-Classics know about my experience on the April 6th to May 5th Atlantic Crossing from Antigua to Mallorca on Chronos. Everything about the entire trip was fantastic. The captain Jan Dobrogowski did an amazing job of managing the adventure. Every aspect of the trip was first class and professional. All of the crew worked really well together and were professional, friendly and relaxed all at once. Managing safety, the route, the weather, the schedule and the various guests' personalities is not a small endeavor. So congratulations and a big thank you to everyone.

We had the most wonderful sailing week after such a long time in ”quarantine”! The crew was amazing, they had a chemistry that made them extraordinary and Leon the captain was a wonderful teacher in sailing and explaining the winds, anchors etc… and was very patient with swimmers who did not have a watch ;-) Mario the chef was amazing - so humble and his food, bread etc. super delicious!!! Thank you for a wonderful week - we all 4 loved every minute!

Eva-Lill and family on KAIRÓS in Croatia

Just a quick email, to let you know we arrived safely home again after a wonderful sailing trip on the Chronos. It was really very beautiful and we enjoyed every minute of it: a beautiful ship, very nice surroundings and nice excursions, fine weather, a perfect crew with a wonderful cook (the lobster of the captain’s dinner on Sunday evening was delicious), it was in one word GREAT! We want to thank you and your colleagues very much for all the arrangements you made for us (stay, flights, transfers etc.)! This made our own preparations and the travel itself a lot easier. I don’t think this was our last trip with Sailing-Classics, we are thinking already about the next one!

Loved every minute with you. Thank you! Simon

50 meters paradise between sea and sky. Love it!

Alexandra in August 2019 aboard RHEA from Sardinia to Corsica

Dear Sailing Classics team, the sailing trip on the Rhea from Marinella to Saint-Florent was once again a great experience. Captain and crew of the highest competence, with outstanding friendliness and helpfulness. And the ship itself was a constant feel-good moment. I'm looking forward to seeing you again.

Peter in August 2019 with the RHEA from Sardinia to Corsica

We made only the best experiences on this voyage on the ship itself. As a sailor with many thousands of miles of own skipper experience, I have appreciated the careful and responsible navigation as well as the choice of route by Captain Nico; he is really a great enrichment for your team in human and technical regard! The rest of the team deserves no less praise; all helpful, dedicated and above all friendly and courteous. Thank you for this successful holiday!

Franz and Margarete, in August 2019 back from the RHEA from Sardinia to Corsica 

The holiday at CHRONOS was wonderful and the whole team fabulous. He then reached his climax with our vows at the captain's dinner. We are already looking forward to taking another trip with Sailing-Classics as soon as possible. Until then a very big thank you again and see you soon again.

Steffi and Ernst in June 2019 on the CHRONOS in the Strait of Gibraltar

This is our third trip with Sailing-Classics. We had a wonderful week with a great crew and nice guests. Best weather and wind. Thanks a lot and keep it up!

Reinhard and Ursula after their sailing cruise aboard KAIRÓS from Corfu to Croatia in June 2019

I can't put it any other way, the trip was just great. Apart from this beautiful ship and the daily sailing, which was a unique experience with all the sails, everything was just right. The crew was a really good team. Every single one of them fulfilled his tasks with friendliness and professionalism... You could see that everyone enjoyed it... Although I have made many different kinds of boat trips, this one was my most beautiful one.

Freya, in May 2019 on the CHRONOS from Lisbon to Cadiz

Although this was the 4th time that I have been sailing with Sailing-Classics, this trip was once again outstanding and this was mainly due to Captain Richard Slootweg, who always arranged his trip with commitment and friendliness so that the guests could see and experience as much as possible. Of course we were lucky again with the weather, cook Randolf and the sailing area. I already knew the sailing area, but thanks to Richard and his crew I experienced much more new and different things than the first time. And sailing has not been neglected either...

Jörg on the CHRONOS in March 2019 from Martinique to the Grenadines and back 

They were very relaxed and safe weeks. Thanks to Captain Nico, who had the ship under control at all times. Thanks to the deck crew who skilfully implemented the sailing instructions. Thanks to the service crew, who were always there to fulfil the wishes of the guests in the most friendly way. Thanks to the chefs who were able to convince with their skills.

Jürgen, Atlantic crossing Tenerife - St. Maarten and Christmas/New Year's Eve in the BVI, December 2018 at RHEA

Congratulations on your trip, by the way. It was a great combination of sailing and hiking. It's a pity that this only exists on Cape Verde at the moment. Congratulations also to your captain, who even hoisted the sails and turned off the engine at low wind speeds. We had dreamlike days with a dreamlike crew and a super tour guide.

Klaus and Karin at CHRONOS in Cape Verde in November 2018

We had the pleasure from 06.10. - 13.10. to accompany the transfer of the Kairós. You have a great team and a great ship, which gave us an incomparable sailing experience. Starting with Captain Nico, who despite the strong flu is not only a good captain, but also a real "unique captain", with a good instinct for his team, his ship and his guests. Chapeau for the choice! Even Elena, who is really good with food (who likes to eat, appreciates that), and the technically versed John and everyone else on board.

H.C. and A. after the transfer Venice - Malta at the KAIRÓS, October 2018

The bed and desk just swings still - they were unforgettable days. Once again we would like to thank you and the whole KAIRÓS team - Nico, John, Mathias, Aafke, Deborah, Sky and the magician of the kitchen - Elena. We didn't expect to be spoiled so much - I like to take the felt 3 kilos home with me in a "duffel bag". We'll be back, we promise.

Martin and Susanne after their transfer trip Venice - Malta at the KAIRÓS in October 2018

A friendly ahoy to you,
Actually, I wanted to write you a real letter, but the everyday life has me now firmly in its grasp, and so unfortunately, a lot remains on the tracks of what you have planned. But under no circumstances do I want to forget one thing, to say thank you to the entire CHRONOS team and crew. 

André after the Atlantic crossing Bahamas - Gibraltar on the CHRONOS in May/June 2018

Went from Mallorca via Menorca, Corsica to Sardinia on board the CHRONOS. It was a fantastic trip. Very nice route choice, great and very friendly staff, excellent and varied food, great experiences. Would like to book again right away.

Klaus and Christiane after 10 days on the CHRONOS, including 2 days at sea, in July 2018

I’m excited to be on board again! Sailing-Classics is becoming a significant part of my life!

Joel from the US starting his 5th cruise aboard

We totally enjoyed the cruise from Corfu to the Ionian Islands. Everything was just right, the crew was warm, harmonious and accommodating, and the good mood immediately spread to us guests. Last but not least, Elena has contributed with her excellent cooking skills to a thoroughly successful holiday experience. We had promised to send the attached picture to you. Maybe you want to put it on the homepage as a sign of good food on board? We’ll stay true to you and will book again.

Petra and Manfred after their KAIRÓS trip in May 2018

When I was just a baby,
My mama said to me,
‘Son always be a good boy,
Don’t ever leave the sea…

Written on the RHEA in June 2018 on the way from Cadiz to Gibraltar

The trip was really a sensation. I was so sad when we left the ship. The atmosphere was very special - really a great experience. The crew was very service-oriented and yet casual - a perfect mix for me. Not luxurious, but exclusive. I like that. Service without conventions - great! The trip itself was a social project, we knew that - will we get along with the people on board? The experiment has succeeded, I would even say that friendships have emerged.

Esther and Michael in May 2018 after 1,000 nautical miles on the CHRONOS from Antigua to the Bahamas

It was a wonderful trip and thanks again to the entire Sailing-Classics crew. The team was again very adorable, sporty and, at the same time, worried about our well-being. Especially nice for me was to meet Nicki again. In one (3) Word: I´ll be back!!!

Manuel in April 2018 after the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta on the RHEA

I highly recommend anyone considering a sailing trip to consider Sailing-Classics. My experience was very good from every aspect. The cabin was very clean, comfortable and with good air conditioning. The captain and crew were professional, personable and accommodating. The guests were easy going.... I made a few friends that I hope to meet again. The chef worked very hard to prepare food that was beautifully prepared and delicious. I plan to take another sailing trip with Sailing-Classics in the Mediterranean next year.

Daniel from the US in April 2018 aboard of CHRONOS for the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta

Everyday life has got us in its grip once again, so that I am only now able to write a few lines. And that’s very important to me! We were sailing with Sailing-Classics for the first time, from the 12th to the 26th of February 2018 on the RHEA in the Caribbean, Lesser Antilles. We had a wonderful holiday on a beautiful ship with a great crew...

We sailed around Greece last year with the KAIRÓS. In my family, my husband is the great lover of ships, I'm more of a landlubber and had some concerns about sailing on a sailing ship across the sea. But one should leave no stone unturned, and so we went with our two children in August for a week on board the KAIRÓS.

I have spent 2 wonderful trips on the CHRONOS. Both times I threw a message in the bottle overboard. Honestly, I never believed I’d get an answer. But look...

We have learned to appreciate the informality, the freedom (that's how we felt it); far away from everyday life, and just switch off - barefoot, short pants, T-shirt - the services offered by Sailing-Classics, need I say more? Maybe we’ll do it again in 2018?
Until, hopefully, very soon.

Angelika and Matthias, November 2017

I would like to add that the Engineer Bruce from New Zealand plays a very important role ... Always on the spot and in all his stress keeps a good mood, musically educated and brought a special contribution at the Captain's Dinner with a vocal performance, which brought him the highest recognition of the Captain and respect from the guests. A wonderful man, I wish to see him again.

Walter in April 2017 on the CHRONOS from Grenada to Antigua

We easily held the ship and crew at number 1 in the guest questionnaire. Solid ship, excellent ship's command (Jan + Jannecke), dedicated crew, great food (Randolf), best service. Something not presented, but everything was fancy and professional in the matter. We felt very comfortable. The possibility to extend our trip for another 3 days and then to go ashore in Bequia directly on the jetty of our friend Kelly was, of course, the salt in the soup for us.

Fiete and Tami on the CHRONOS from Grenada to Bequia, March 2017

After returning from a perfect journey, I would like to share our feedback with you and the team: We had the best crew in all of my travels... With such a service, you can really relax as a typically impatient, ever-rushing New Yorker. That really made a big difference!

Daniel and his friends after a KAIRÓS trip from St. Maarten to Antigua in February 2017

Yesterday I came back from the Caribbean, from a wonderful trip on the CHRONOS with my parents. It was the greatest holiday we have ever had! Thank you!!

Katharina, Gundula and Hans-Joachim, on the CHRONOS from St. Maarten to Tortola, New Year's Eve 2015/2016

Greetings from Sardinia. This year it is almost more beautiful than last time! The entire crew did a super job! Unfortunately it will be over tomorrow, but next year we will be back!

Peter and family on the Family Cruise before Sardinia, August 2016

We are happy and have returned from a holiday on the KAIRÓS one great adventure richer. For 2 weeks we enjoyed the ship, the crew, the sailing, the landscape and the sea. Fantastic!

Thank you. Patrick with his family, from Syracuse via Corfu to the Ionian Islands, July 2016

I am back from holiday! It was a great crew under Cap’n Richard. The guests were all wonderful! Now it's time to get back to work. We’re saving up for the next cruise!

Walter on the CHRONOS from Mallorca to Sardinia, July 2016

Memories of three sensational weeks on CHRONOS

It has now been five days since I left the CHRONOS in a wintry 28 °C and nos wind in the British Virgin Islands.

In September I was among the Seattle group that chartered KAIRÓS. We had an outstanding trip! Nothing but praise from all of us for the crew and especially our captain, Dominique.

Susan, September 2015, Corfu/Ionian Islands

With Sailing-Classics, they have made a concept a reality that offers water-loving sailors like me and even non-sport guests an ideal place to relax.
