Best experience and trustworthy company.

I contacted Sailchecker with no previous experience boating. Kate held my hand through the entire process, and responded to my endless stream of emails answering all my questions. She set us up on an amazing catamaran, the crew was wonderful. The entire process was simple and everything was as she said it would be. It was a very simple process and my family and I are extremely satisfied. I've already talked to her about booking another boat for next summer. I highly recommend Sailchecker! Thanks Kate!

Dear Brandon, So very kind of you to leave us some nice words and such glowing ones for Kate ably supported by her team of course. We are so please we got you the right boat for you, and we are thrilled that you enjoyed the crew. We do work hard at keeping the processes simple without losing the essentials, that comment means a lot to our product development team. We look forward to creating the next chapter for you!

Trip of a lifetime

Have nothing but amazing things to say about our sailing adventure in the Ionian sea. From the start Elpida was on top of things making sure we were completely organized before the trip even began. Once on board our skipper, Polis, was amazing. Several of us had been on sailing adventures before and everyone agreed that this was the best one yet. We all learned so much about sailing. While our trip was pretty short (only four nights) Polis and Elpida helped ensure that everything was maximized to the fullest. We had such an amazing time, swimming, snorkeling, catching sea urchins, fishing, and even sailing the boat (everyone hoisting the sails and steering the craft)! We made memories that will certainly last a lifetime. Can't wait to go again next year!

Dear Megan, How kind of you to stop by and leave us some lovely comments. We particularly appreciate your kind comments about Elpida who is our representative on the ground in Ionian and some weeks on the water with our guests. We also know that Polis is always a well received Skipper who you will see from other reviews, we work with a great deal, thank you for letting us know. It was great to know that you got involved with the sailing too. Hopefully you will be experts next time! We hope that on the next occasion we are able to look after you for a little longer - there is still plenty to see and can;t wait to be helping you arrange everything again.

There is simply no better charter company!

Since 2017 we have entrusted 28 weeks of chartering in Greece and Croatia to Sailchecker, and I can hand on heart state that you won't find a better service anywhere. Chris, Kate and the team at Sailchecker offer a bespoke personal service and make the whole process of chartering very easy, they always find the right boat to suit our needs (which is quite a feat as we have a number of very specific requirements), and importantly they are there for you if things don't quite go to plan. This year Sailchecker partnered us with a new operator in Croatia, and LM yachting in Marina Korati didn't disappoint. They provided a professional service, the base manager was responsive and always there when we needed him, and the Dufour 460 GL that we chartered, was probably the best boat we've sailed to date. Thank you once again Sailchecker - looking forward to our next charter in Greece this September.

Yet again Sail Checker Impresses!

Yet again Sail Checker Impresses!, and then some... We rented in late July for one week a very nice 42FT Lagoon Catamaran from Lefkas in the Ionian(Greece). We were fortunate to have with us SailChecker's own Elpida, who was the best hostess - seeing to all of our needs and requirements before we even knew them. Thanks to her, we were able to have our provisions all set up, the ship brief taken care of early and so we were underway on the first day and enjoying the first night outside of the main port. The material condition of the boat was superb, however we noted the dingy could have been in better shape, as it almost stranded us several times. Two families of three (six total) really enjoyed this vessel and we'll be back to Sail Checker again! RHP

Dear Robert, So kind of you to take the time to leave us such a nice review. We especially appreciate you comments about Elpida who, as you mentioned, works as a consultant and on the water for us. It's really great to get out and sail with customers, not only to try and offer a service a little bit above the norm, but to meet and learn from our guests, we are delighted that the enjoyed the tailored package we created. We are looking forward very much to helping you create your next sailing memories. Best Wishes, SailChecker Ltd. www.SailChecker.com United Kingdom: +44 8000 988 118 United States: +1-844-335-1306 Greece: +30 800 848 1290 Australia: +61 730678907

At first I was unsure if this was a legitimate company and questioned who I was sending my money too. Was it a scam. But after careful checking we proceeded and had a great holiday sailing in southern Turkey. They were great, responsive and always helpful. A great decision and a great holiday! Thanks Sail Checker

Hi Andrew, Thank you for the review and we appreciate your frankness about dealing with a new company. Starting a new relationship carries many risks and we are extremely please were were able to overcome them in your case. You ended up sailing in one of our favourite destinations and so pleased to hear that you had a great time. We are more than looking forward to helping you out again to see if we can move from a 4-star to a 5-star service.

SailChecker’s service was great

Kate at SailChecker was brilliant. Very responsive, good communication and very attentive - even on Sundays. SailChecker had great prices overall. I will definitely be contacting them for a quote for future charters. Only feedback is that the flotilla leader didn’t have our contact number so was unable to get in touch to discuss arrangement prior to arrival. This may not have been Sailchecker’s fault though. Very thoughtful interaction with Sailchecker via WhatsApp group through vacation. Need to consider that some people may not want their personal numbers visible to other people though.

Date of experience : August 28, 2020

Dear Chris, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review and give us some help in improving our service. Our responsive communication is becoming the hallmark of our stress-free service, thank you for your comments, Kate is delighted to have been of service. We also find it equally regretful that the flotilla leader has not been given your number; we have fed that back to our partners as a learning point. We appreciate the comment on the Whatsapp group in addition to being able to contact your consultant directly at key times. We have found the initial support offered by SailChecker's sailing in the same area has been an invaluable asset for some. Our policy is never to add someone to the group, instead to send them an invite link to avoid sharing personal numbers without consent. We are already looking at your next two charters and hope that we can get over the threshold to get a 5-Star review. Yours in sailing, Chris Lait Founder SailChecker, the Art of Charter.

Kate and SailChecker, LTD

We had the pleasure of working with Kate. We gave her a very late request, during heavy season. She worked on this, came up with a great vessel, and company. Superb communication and efforts! We highly refer and recommend SailChecker LTD, for Croatian sailing!

5 star service and experience

5 star service and experience. Sailchecker were amazing from start to finish. Kate is very informative and personable & Chris is an amazing host and skipper. We sailed the Ionian Islands from Lefkas. The trip was smoothly run and very enjoyable! The boat we sailed was the Magnum Opus part of the Blue Eternal fleet and it was nothing short of amazing. Such a treat to be on board a beautiful vessel and the locations we visited were out of this world. I would highly recommend this kind of trip for sailing to see insane turquoise blue seas and secluded beaches. Sailchecker would be my first choice every time to help you find your perfect sailing experience.

Set for Croatia Sailing experience when…

Set for Croatia Sailing experience when a few days before departure the dutch government gave Croatia an orange Covid-19 indication. Meaning your trip is no longer insured, your employer is not liable for costs of sickness and it requires two weeks of unpaid quarantaine. Kate already did a splendid job and now supersede this by quickly rearranging the boat to next year. What a splendid service! I can recommend her.

Dear Riccardo, The Global Pandemic has had a dramatic effect on people's lives and livelihoods.

Excellent charter broker service

I would like to thank Kate and Betty for their amazing service provided by Sailchecker. The charter companies affiliated with Sailchecker are always of excellent service and provide quality yachts.

Very knowledgeable staff with wide reach in the market, getting good boats at good prices. We found a full equipped boat at a decent price on a busy weekend. Only improvement is integration of docs with the renting company/individual

Two family, 11-person charter

Sailchecker organized a charter that involved 2 families and a total of 11 people; they found us a boat that fit us all comfortably and made the process very smooth. They also handled invoicing in multiple currencies, which helped simplify things as well. Thanks to the Sailchecker team for another great vacation!

Date of experience : January 31, 2020

Dear Philip, First, thank you for taking the time to share your experience, it really helps others understand how we add value and helps us know what is working and what needs refining. We are delighted that both families had such a wonderful time. And thank you for feeding back one of our features; that you can pay us individually, and in different currencies at commercial exchange rates. We knew from an early stage that we wanted to be in a position to help those looking to charter whatever they were in the world, without any disadvantage. We list our boats in the same currency as the operator, and never add any margin for currency exchange, which means we are almost always cheaper than our rivals. We look forward to helping you guys sail again and again.

Great experience with Sailchecker

We sailed to the Saronic Gulf this Summer and it was our first time chartering a boat. Kate was exceptional in helping us navigate the process and also providing excellent recommendations on restaurants as we visited each island. We were also lucky to have Chris as our skipper who went the extra mile to make our trip memorable and teach us some sailing along the way. Highly recommend sailchecker for your next holiday!

Working with Sailchecker is a dream

Working with Sailchecker is a dream. Being from The States and working with an unknown company overseas can be scary. When everything goes right you hardly even know they are. During this last year of COVID things were changing dramatically and Sailchecker was by our side working with us and our changing needs. I can't say enough about Kate and team for helping to make our holiday a reality.

This sailing company is the best

Elpida Barbaresou helped me to book a sailing boat in Greece a few weeks ago. I would highly recommend her, since the quality of the services that she provided me was on a significantly high standards. She was always eager to go the extra mile to help me at every single step of the booking process and fast in responding back to me in every concern or question I had. Also, I was happy to meeting her and experiencing her professionalism and passion for what she does. She was always there to help and consistently managed to solve every single issue I had. I trully believe that she is an amazing professional!!!

Literally Could Not Have Been Better

This was our first time sailing and first time to Croatia, so we were a little nervous about the experience and the boat. It was a lot of money, so we especially wanted it to be great - ha! Kate at Sailchecker did a great job preparing us and was quick with her communication. This was easily the best trip any of us have ever taken, and we're planning our next trip even though we've only been back home for two days!

Dear Madisson, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a positive review, we completely acknowledge the nervousness than comes with your first sailing trip, especially as this can be intensified by booking for others.

We are so pleased you had a great time and look forward to creating more worry free sailing memories with you in the very near future.

Fantastic service and holiday........

From start to finish this was a very easy and professional process. Everything was put in place before our departure and communications were swift and straightforward. The airport transfer was waiting for us as promised and we collected our yacht in Marina Kastela, Croatia for a totally trouble free week. Collecting the yacht in the marina was very easy. Sadly the weather confined us to the marina for the first 24 hours but that gave us plenty of time to get provisions from the nearby supermarkets and visit Trogir. All in all a great experience and we will definitely be coming back.

Dear Andy, It's wonderful to hear that despite the best efforts of the Croatia weather, that you had a great time, and by all accounts, made the best of it. Glad to hear all the bot on services worked for you too, it's so great to get some feedback, thank you for taking the time. So great that you will be back with us soon, we are looking forward to hearing the new plans.
