Dear Libra Staff and Captain,
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for a most divine week on board Libra! It has been absolutely wonderful and we have enjoyed every moment. We felt so incredibly welcome and well taken care off. Thank you for your warm and personal attention to every detail. The Cycladic islands are truly amazing, and we enjoyed each stop more than the other, every deserted beach, every charming fish restaurant with the feet in the ocean, every refreshing swim around the boat. And we were spoiled by delicious and healthy meals. We now have fallen in love with the Cycladic islands so we will be sure to be back.

Dear Captain and the entire Libra team,
What a joy to be back on Libra! We fell in love with the Cyclades last summer and after this extraordinary vacation, we love it even more!
Thank you to the team for welcoming us back and for making us feel at home and for providing the best service possible, such professionalism, but also done with such warmth and personal touch. We are so grateful for helping us plan an excellent itinerary, where each new destination was more magnificent than the last. We enjoyed the variety from Mykonos and Santorini to more quiet places like Koufonini (what splendid caves and waters!) and Sifnos (stunning spot!). We felt so well taken care of in every way and truly appreciated excellent food all the fun water sports and not the least all of your wonderful smiles and personalities always ready to do your best to optimize our stay. We will remember this vacation fondly and hope to be back soon again.
Lots of love from all of us!

Dear Captain Zacharias and Team Libra Y, you all have made our introduction to the Cyclades islands beyond compare! Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the best islands, bays, restaurants and meal planning. The beaches, sunsets and star watching will be in our memories forever.
Chef Stratos prepared incredible meals to suit the diverse food preferences of all the parents and teenagers. Rhina and Joanna served the meals with sweet attentiveness and looked after our every need. Joanna played great music mixes to suit the changing landscapes and enhance the mood.

To our Libra Y family,
I have been lucky in life to travel to many places and yet I had never spent time on a boat before. I didn’t know what to expect when I boarded the Libra Y, 10 days ago, met by your open, smiling faces ready to introduce me and my family to an experience unlike any other. You can travel far and wide but it takes something extra to truly be transported. I ‘ ve honestly never felt so cared for, by a group of people who sincerely wanted each moment to be as perfect as it could be before. I could deeply relax and enjoy myself knowing each of you were thoughtfully providing my family with everything we could possibly want and need. That is a level of relaxation we rarely get in life! I was like a child again discovering the rocks and water around me.
Beyond the hidden gems you showed us, beyond the perfect meals you fed us, beyond the clean rooms we came back to everyday, it is the kindness and warmth I will remember forever and hold in my heart on the cold winter days. You’ve made me fall in love with Greece in a profound way and you’ve become like family to us, the family you choose. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
All my love
Allison, Eric, & Ivan
