“Our instructor was the absolute legend Barry; a knowledgeable, calm and composed man who was understanding of our initial lack of skill, but stayed patient throughout as we progressed to proper sailors. A big shout out as well to Shirley and Maddy who were of great help at welcoming and organising. What a stirling team! We can’t wait to see what Flotilla holidays are on offer next year: with TREK of course!”

“Great holiday and great value - learn to sail at Lixouri. This is our 2nd holiday with Trek Adventures and the staff, equipment, booking system etc all remain brilliant.”

“Customer service was excellent from start to finish. All my queries were dealt with swiftly and efficiently and we were kept informed about everything throughout the booking process and up until our departure. The sailing course was excellent, we learnt loads whilst having fun. It was good to do all the theory beforehand so we could refresh that whilst focussing on sailing whilst away. Maddy was a brilliant skipper and instructor.”

“Amazing sailing course with the lovely Shirley, knowledgable and great fun, involved the kids and kept us confident at all times. Beach club at Lixouri was run by the lovely Aki and family and the beach staff were great. Best holiday ever.”

“Amazing family holiday doing Intro to Sailing with Shirley. She was a fantastic instructor and kept our teenage boys amused and engaged throughout. It was down to her calm expertise and teaching skills that we had such a great time despite the searing heat. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this holiday to anyone.”

“Amazing week on Intro to Sailing with our skipper Maddie on Elsa. She was an excellent instructor. Very patient, very nice teaching style and great mix of teaching and letting us work out the answers ourselves. Great support before, during and after. Great family holiday for all to get involved (we had a 13yr old and an 8 yr old with us). Super over night stop in a bay. Lixouri was lovely. Nice little fishing village. Nice restaurants. We followed up with a week at Paliki resort. Super water sports and instruction. Hotel itself a little tired but we stayed in the Villas which were amazing.”

“We've just returned from a fantastic Intro to Sailing week. Excellent support was given throughout the week from Shirley, Maddy and Babis. We had the pleasure of being instructed by Barry who generously shared his knowledge and experience, building our skill and confidence through the week whilst ensuring we enjoyed our holiday. We'll be back for flotilla with Trek!”

“Just back from a fantastic week learning how to sail with Seatrek in Lixouri. Shirley our skipper provided wonderful tuition and conversation and even convinced my non sailing partner to take the helm just in case I ever fell overboard! Through Shirley's instruction and patience I now feel I have the confidence to take the next step and move on to a flotilla holiday.”
