Thank you for your assistance and will contact you soon regarding next year's trip!
Kind Regards,
As I have already said to Captain, congratulations on what was clearly a very well executed charter, and thank you. This is a very good example of the expression “all’s well that ends well” and I will certainly be looking to promote Grande Amore to these clients again as well their friends and acquaintances.
This was an amazing experience mostly because of our fantastic service and dedication.
Thank you so much for everything and we are looking forward to seeing you again soon.
Hugs, Kisses, and lots of love.
I’d like to share with you the feedback regarding our charter onboard GRANDE AMORE.
First of all, thank you for putting in all the efforts for the charter to go smoothly and successfully. Your team was very supportive during the preparations - itinerary, restaurant advice, weather tips for Greek islands, provisioning for the charter, etc.
I was also very pleased to meet your team onboard GRANDE AMORE prior to embarkation who was there to make sure that everything was ready and fine for the charter to start.
The yacht was very well prepared and ready, clean, well maintained when I came to greet the guests in Lavrio. She is a classic, beautiful and very spacious Benetti that met all the expectations of the guests. She does offer great accommodation for the guests. Captain Christos was very helpful with the itinerary, booking the restaurants, last minute searching for special products on the islands, calling me and telling me that everything is going well. He was very easy to work with in my experience.
The guests’ PA shared that they liked the journey, and as far as I remember they expressed it via crew gratuity.

Dear,
Thank you for trusting me and asking for the feedback regarding our cooperation with you as a C/A.
I am glad to say that our cooperation for the charter onboard GRANDE AMORE was successful. I can’t say any other way. It was a difficult time with Covid restrictions, risks that the guests wouldn’t make it to Greece, addendum and all these issues. I was a bit stressed during this period due to these risks, but it all went well. And you were supportive and very informative - you kept me up to date on what would happen if guests couldn’t come, what could be done to avoid money loss if such a possibility actually was more likely to happen.
And by the way, it was my first charter onboard a 40+m yacht, and I’m grateful for your help with it.
To be honest with you, I can’t easily remember what could be improved - you were great with knowing the contracts, the rules, you were informing me on risks what happens if the money doesn’t hit the account on time, what could be done in advance if the guests feel that they couldn’t come due to the Covid restrictions. As I mentioned - these things stressed me, but it was the reality to be aware of. And I was learning things about my job during this process, for which I’m thankful to you. I’m glad I could improve my knowledge. So from my side I can’t really think of things to be improved.
Thank you for the amazing hospitality and very warm and kind service.
It was a great pleasure!!!
We have so enjoyed being in the most beautiful places in the world with you all the past few days. From Hydra to Aegina and everywhere in between our time in Greece has been on of the most amazing experience of our lives. Huge thank you to you all!! We could not have asked for a better group to be with our trip of a life time. Lots of love to you all and please come see us soon in Austin. TX USA!!
