“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.”

“Fantastic week’s training, well delivered and set in a relaxed environment with a great team. Our trainer Barry demonstrated and explained everything very well. We actually lost some money on the boat and Shirley contacted us a week after we had left to say she had found it, thanks a lot for honesty. Would definitely recommend. Dave and Jan”

“As a follow up to learning the theory of sailing, we had fantastic practical instruction on a well equipped sailing boat. Maddy was a brilliant and enthusiastic instructor making sure we balanced our learning with fun. Thanks Trek team.”

“Thank you so much for a wonderful week learning to sail. We started with no experience, but our wonderful instructor Maddy gently and calmly taught us a huge amount over the week to the point where we began to feel that we knew what we were doing. As well as learning to sail we saw dolphins and turtles close up, and stopped for lunch in some beautiful spots. So thank you so much to both Maddy and Shirley, we will be back!”
