Dear Crew, thank you for all!!
Elvira 52 was a magnificent experience, what a pleasure! Thanks to Lia , Chris and Capt.V you’ve been amazing with us, we will come back!
Jonas , See you soon
What a week!
The 3 best things this week:
– Lia’s food and jokes: Massive shoutout to the many shrimp we ate with spaghetti, one thing i will never forget.
-Magic Chris during the Elvira 52, and his sunglasses. Driving the boat so smouth, I could have done a 720 with the wakeboard!
– Captain V’s sailing : I did not even feel like we were moving on the water!
Thank you so much for all!

We journeyed through the Cyclades with the Elvira 52 from the 3rd week in July of 2025.
Parents and 3 children. This has been a life experience as a family. Our first journey to Greece. Lia, Christos and Captain were the driving force of this anchor experience for our family. From the larger ports of Siros and Poros to the small bays of Sifnos and family tavernas (our favorite) along the way, the Elvira made this everything we have hoped for. They crew with love. It’s been like a journey with family. Our 11 year old son is in tears at the end of our journey. Thank you for sharing this journey with us!

As i sit alone, here at the table that has fed me and my family for the past 7 days with some of the best food as well as the best memories for the rest of my life , there for sure are no words that can be read to express the entire experience. But.. here are a couple: First, Elvira 52, you are a beautiful vessel that travels smooth and flawless. Thank you for being dependable. Second, Chris.. your work ethics,personality and love for your father are what i look for in my own children!
You will make a fine captain!
Third, Lia… my beautiful cousin, Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
We knew we were getting a special chef before boarding, but the woman, mother, soul that we became to know, is well beyond what we could have imagined, we truly love you as our family, we pray that every guest that leaves this boat appreciates you half as much as we do! Thank you , and we will see you again..
Last but not least by far, Captain V, simply getting to know your 2 sons shows what kind of family you are. We are luckyto have spent this time with all 3 of you! As far as your leadership,navigational skills, and Captain i am convinced , there is none better, you and your team have made a wonderful vacation, into a whole new love, for a while new country, and a whole new way to travel! I cannot thank you , hug your neck, or shake your talented hands enough to show my love and respect to you, TO ALL OF YOU. Until the next trip, thank you we love all of you , and our lives are forever changed!
God Bless You All, and safe travels at sea!
Berry!

We came to celebrate my daughters college graduation with some of her friends and their moms, 10 of us. We had the time of our lives! We were lucky to be able to travel to the Cyclades and it was incredible! The crew,Captain V,Lia and Chris were truly,amazing and made our trip so much better! We will be back!
A once in a lifetime experience! We had the best time with the crew, they were all amazing. I will miss Lia’s cooking, it was incredible.The places we stopped were beautiful. Will definitely be back and hope to do it again with the same crew.
Wowza!! What a time!! I have no words that can explain how perfect this trip experience was!!! From Capt’s picks of the islands, to Lia’s delicious cooking, Chris’ helping hand, you all dealt with our crazy, (which i think deserves a round of applause).Would not have wanted any other crew,boat,or time. Going to miss you all so much. Don’t forget about us pls!!! With love.
There truly aren’t enough words to describe the magic of the trip. From the moment we stepped on board ELVIRA 52, it felt like stepping into a dream.The beauty of Greece left me spechless-but it was the crew who made this vacation absolutely unforgettable.
100 out of 10 doesn’t even begin to capture how incredible they were. Attentiive,kind,hilarious and full of heart-we laughed,we danced,we shared unforgettable moments, and somewhere along the way, we became a family.
Every meal was beyond amazing-fresh,flavorful,and made with so much care.Truly some of the best food i’ve ever had. The crew’s attention to every sinlge detail-from the moment we woke up to the moment we watched the stars at night-was flawless.They thought of everything.
Every sunrise on the water,every island stop,every laugh-it was all perfect.Elvira 52 isn’t just a charter,it’s a life-changing experience.If you ever get the chance:go.Just go.You’ll never forget it.
A heartfelt thank you to: Captain Vangelis – calm,experienced, and always ready with a smile.
Lia , our amazing cook and hostess-every single meal was a masterpiece! The flavors,the presentation,the love in every dish… unforgettable.
Chris, our deckhand and all-around superstar-always helpful,always kind,always making the experience even more special.

We had such a great time visiting islands all around Greece!! There was a variety of different,beautiful beaches. Some with other yachts (if you’re wanting to meet people and party) and others completely secluded and private.Our captain had vast knowledge of the area.
Our chef was amazing, she made use of all of the food cooking things on the fly and re-using ingredients.Demonstrating her expertise. Everything she cooked was delicious!!! We were never hungry.
And our deckhand gave us everything we needed at anytime! Water sports,drinks entertainment!He is a jack of all trades!!
Wow! i don’t have enough amazing words to say about this crew,this experience,the food, and everything in between!Leah,Chris, and Captain V were more than phenomenal. I would recommend to anyone and everyone!They made our trip truly unforgettable and unique. I will miss them and this fabulous boat!!!
Best time ever!!! Seriusly the best staff,so friendly and so chill. The best food i have ever had with an even better chef!! 10000/10 recommend, we could not have asked for a better experience.
