Throughout
the years we got lots of letters from satisfied customers.
Here are a few:
Dear Betty
and Marco,
Well..
I cannot begin to express what a fabulous holiday
we had. Marco was far beyond our expectations as a
skipper. He is an experienced, enviable captain and
I just can't begin to tell you how precious he was
to all of us. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable,
patient, present and absent at all the right times.
It is obvious he has been doing this for a long time.
I feel very fortunate to have had this experience
on your boat with my family, close friends and Marco
at the helm. I don't think too many people get to
do something that special in a lifetime and I feel
truly blessed.
The boat
was awesome. The accommodations were comfortable.
The islands were spectacular and the sailing was truly
splendid. Marco is an expert at spotting dolphins
and we were lucky enough to see many. We loved your
company, dealing with you during the planning stage,
and everything else about the experience. I would
be very surprised if you did not hear from us again
and would highly recommend you to anyone who was thinking
about this kind of vacation, however, I would like
to keep you a special little secret. Marco is already
in high enough demand.
Thanks
so much for everything. We had a marvellous time.
Coming to Greece was a pipe dream and she didn't let
us down. This was my son's graduation gift and likely
one of our last family vacations together and it could
not have gone any smoother. We would not have changed
a thing. We will always be indebted to you both. You
will always have a place to stay, access to a vehicle
and maybe even a sailboat soon if you ever feel like
coming to see the Rockies and the Gulf Islands (which
I hear Marco has not sailed yet). We would welcome
you with open arms. Please take us up on it sometime.
We miss you already Marco. Our only regret is that
we didn't get to meet you too.

We had
a wonderful time with Marcos. He really made a trip
fantastic. We hope he has a continued safe voyages
this season and hope to meet you both again sometime,
maybe in California? The wines are a few of our favorite
California varieties.
Again,
thank you for keeping us safe and for a very memorable
trip.

Hi Betty,
We are still in Greece, continuing to enjoy our Holiday
on the Peloponnese. We had such a great time with
Marco. We realize how fortunate we were to have him
show us all the local places now that we're on our
own. Thanks for all your help.
Best,
Anni

Betty
& Marco,
We had a great time! As we told Marco when we left
the boat, he was one of the highlights. What a great
sense of humor and a fountain of information about
Greece. We got home last night at 7:30 p.m. Chicago
time -- but our bodies felt like it was 2:30 a.m.!
Whew. A little tired today.
Thank you for all your help in arranging this once-in-a-lifetime
trip.

Hi Betty!
After
26 hours of continuous travel (3 flights with long
layovers) we got back home Saturday night. Our sleep
patterns are still not right.
What a great time we had! We enjoyed our days in Athens,
but by far the best part of our trip was being "boat
people" and sailing with Marco. We're glad we
decided to go to Serifos so we could meet you and
spend some time with you...it was great to meet you
and Marco, and we feel like we have two new friends.
Thanks for yours and Marco's professionalism and hospitality,
and please give your thanks and warm wishes to Marco.
It's good to be back home, but we'd sure prefer to
be sailing somewhere on
Alba IV!
Best regards,
Charles(California)
Thanks
for everything! We had a wonderful time. It's hard
not being on the boat today!

"Hello Marcos (and Betty)!
The Hills and Prices have now returned home after
some slight delays, but nothing major (no “Happy Fish”).
We enjoyed our last night in/around Athens and witnessed
a stunning football victory for Greece, beating the
favored French team 1-0! To experience this in he
Plaka was extraordinary for us!
Again, we want to thank you, Marcos, for providing
us with an unbelievable experience in your beautiful
country. I can assure you when I say that our “Trip
of a Lifetime” exceeded any of our expectations. You
are the consummate host and friend and can be very
proud in the knowledge that you are without peer in
the service you provide.
We also want to thank you for your friendship, as
we all feel that it was much more than just a business
for you. We had a great time and it was a real adventure!
If there is any time when we can provide a prospective
customer with our comments/recommendations please
let us know. It would be a pleasure!
I hope your trip with your Norwegian friends (3rd
time?) either is going well or went well. Please take
care of yourself and we hope to see you again in the
not-too-distant future.
May your life be full, the seas be kind and always
at your back!
Adieu! (I forgot how to say “goodbye until we meet
again” in Greek!)"

"Greece is
a land of great beauty and I can´t imagine a
more perfect way to explore it than aboard Wavedancer.
The boat was in excellent condition and very spacious.
our captain, Marcos, must have been born to this profession.
A more professional, capable, genial leader could
no be had. Not only aboard the boat, but as well on
land.
He was in a large measure responsible for making our
cruise the succes that it was.
It was glorious 14 days of great sailing, good friends
and a lot to do and look at.
Life does not get much better than this. Each island
was unique. Thank you Marco, for making our time in
Greece so special - we´ll never forget it, and
we will return."

"Wavedancer,
the brightest star I have sailed so far,
With a crew that none compares through nights of calm
and days so fair,
And Marco, the man that touched my heart who showed
much strength and tenderness from the start. I will
greatly miss it all, Wavedancer, by far the brightest
star"

"The epitome
of paradis! Marco was a wonderful guide and friend.
Seven days aren't nearly enough to explore this magical
area. But, many wonderful memories were made aboard
Wavedancer during our short stay."
