November 2005
was the time for honeymoons #3 and #4. We were part of a tour to
Turkey and Greece xxxx That included Ephesus, a really large city at one time
on the coast of Turkey. This was followed by visiting the places in Greece
where the Apostle Paul visited on his 3rd missionary journey. In
Athens, of course, we visited the acropolis and the classical structures that
surround it. This concluded the tour with our friends, who flew home. Jim and
Eloise had different plans.....sailing in the Saronic sea south of Athens in a
chartered sailing yacht. We also hired a skipper, Yann, who was also a wonderful
guide and friend. Both of us had tours of being at the helm, but Jim got the
heavy duty just as we left Athens. We had 25 knot wind and seas over 4 feet
high! 3 hours of guiding the boat heeled over about 20 degrees and being
bounced around by the seas was enough to get him really tired! The sailing was
a wonderful experience, and we think we shall try that again. Jim
& Eloise

Dear Yann,
I know this is late, but I wanted to thank you for a fantastic trip. I just
received my photos back and I realized that I had not contacted you. Kevin and
I, as well as the entire group, had a great time. Please thank Monique as well.
Take care, JoAnne

Hello Servanne
Thank you for your message.
The trip was fabulous and all
went very well thank you.
Damir in Biograd was of great
assistance and he helped us very much with everything. They were very
friendly and very helpful. I would recommend the Passion group again.
The transfer from Dubrovnik to
Biograd was about 6 hours...something you can advise other customers.
Thanks for the follow up and I
will be sending you some photos shortly.
Kind regards

Re: contact in Rhodes
Dear
Yann,
This is to thank you for efforts, time and patience when dealing with our two
crews. We really appreciate your friendly assistance and advices. The very fact
of having a professional on whom one can rely is very important for such not
excessively experienced sailors as we are.
Best wishes to you and Servanne,
Vxxxxxx.

Hi Yann & Servanne, Sorry for not replying sooner. We had
a great week aboard Odysseus with Googi. We were very lucky with the weather and
as first timers there wasn't too much wind... just enough to make us feel that
we are sailing. And also with Googi who was a great person to talk to and some
one with whom we felt comfortable and secure. XXXX These are small
points... overall however, we had a great time. Your swift replies to my
questions was a great comfort esp as I found your website through the internet
... without a recommendation from a friend. It made me feel that you were
there.. sorting things out and not a faceless person at the other end of a
computer. Thank you both for all your work. We will def be recommending your
service to friends.
Kind regards

dear servanne
we had a GREAT cruise! our boat was great, our skipper gianmarco was so super.
even though we learned upon arrival that we needed to work with anotehr company
and have a different boat, everything went very smoothly and all of the people
at your company were very nice and helpful. we will definitely contact you for
our next cruise. (and as a new yorker, i admit that i'm not easily impressed
with service, so you should be extra pleased to hear how pleased i was with your
service and company!)
thank you for a really great trip
kindly

Dear Yann and Servanne!
Thank you very much for your help with organizing this
wonderful trip. Everything was really nice (and this time we had even been lucky
with the weather). The crew was perfectly trained, and we want to underline the
quality of food that was cooked by the hostess (she deserves a Michelin star, by
the way) The only thing that was a little bit irritating was the quality of
music (sound systems etc.), because it seemed to us, that it was very cheap, so
we couldn't listen to our favorite Cafe del mar cd's with a satisfying sound.
But the rest was really perfect, thank you very much again best regards, xxx,xxxx

Dear Yann, I did speak with John today and they said the cruise was
by far their favorite part of the trip. They loved it!! They loved
the staff, they said it really made the trip. I think you sent me a
bio about both of them, can you resend that? I want to make sure to
try to request them if they are available for the next trip we
book. They said that the cook was fantastic, and that both of them
were very professional as well as friendly. They did not have any
complaints. The only thing they were confused about was the
transfer on the return because I think the staff there didn’t know
that we booked the transfer through you. xxxxx Thank
you for all the hard work that you did on this booking, and
providing a quality product. I look forward to working with you
again soon.
And you?
