About
the Skippers
Skippers
come in all sizes, shapes, sexes, nationalities, personalities
and every other character trait you can think of. The one thing
that they have in common is that they are licensed by the government
to responsibly handle the yacht. They are well- trained and have
a lot of experience.
Although
they are not trained as "guides". They know Greece intimately
and will be able to show you places you'd never find on your own
and introduce you to life in Greece. On the long sails between
islands, your discussions will enlighten you about many aspects
of life in Greece and walks through the islands will be a field
trip.
In a few
articles, a specific skipper is named and I often get requests
for that skipper. All skippers have their strengths and weaknesses
and it's hard to select the "best". When you read a
story about a skipper that someone
thinks is "great", remember that you don't know the
person who is writing the story...so as great as the skipper sounds,
he may not be the "best" skipper for you. The point
being, you have just as much chance of randomly selecting a skipper
who is great for you as you do selecting a skipper that someone
else say was great.
I don't
believe that the choice of skipper will make or break your trip.
As a matter of fact you could take 10 charters with 10 different
skippers and have 10 different but equally "great" trips.
So don't spend too much time trying to secure a particular skipper....
if he's available, we'll try to get him. If not, you're still
going to have a great time on your charter.
