We, two friends came to Paros for a couple of sailing lessons with the Omega. The only two lessons we had were excellent. Markellos and Dimitri are very good Teachers. But for all other scheduled lessons, they didn't show up at the sailing spot. We lost a lot of time for other things. This is not the way how you treat customers! We were very disappointed and looking for another spot for next Year. Thank you Heinz & Marcell…

Thank you for your good words Mr Heinz, Our instructors did their best to give you the best service, that you also admit. After exchanging 20 emails for two lessons, we deserve better rating. During your stay on the island, some of the days the wind was not enough and some other the wind was pretty strong. Unfortunately, our service is related to this fact. You shouldn't get disappointed for something we cannot control, the weather. You should admit that we never asked to get paid for all the lessons that we couldn't offer, due to inappropriate weather. Please take into account that I informed you and your friend, the night before, via email, that the wind would be heavy for you (7 bft) and that it was not a good idea to sail with sailors of your level ( 1 lesson in light wind and 1 lesson in medium wind). But you still went to the school. Also, please take into account that I scheduled all your lessons while on vacation, to offer the best possible service. We will keep considering your safety and joy more than your expectations. Please think twice when rating somebody else's effort. Thank you once again!

Action packed with continuous coaching and a light touch of theory, Markellos (Head Coach) got us enjoying dinghy sailing right from the start. Highly encouraging, and always close by, he swapped us in and out of the Omega to rapidly build experience and confidence as well as create different combinations between adults and teenies. Each of the four lessons were two hours and were tailored according to the wind. All very professional. We hope to return as a family to do single-handed dinghy sailing as well as more in the Omega. Thank you Naousa Sailing Team! …

Brilliant couple of hours sailing in Naoussa Bay with Markellos. Great location and great company. Markellos is a good coach and it was nice to be out with him in such a lovely location improving my sailing skills. Thoroughly recommend that you seek him and his small team out if you are a beginner like me who is trying to improve and move up to level 3. I’m sure he would be great for less and more experienced sailors as well. …

We booked half day for sailing training. The master Vasilis was great and we really enjoyed the windy day on the ship.

We had a 2 hour lesson with Markellos sailing round beautiful Naoussa Bay in a topper, learning the basics, whilst the kids had 2 hours learning in an optimist then being taken out in a bigger boat round the bay. We asked them (on a scale of 1 - 10 where 1 is eating sprouts and 10 is their birthday) how good the lesson was and they both said 10/10! Thanks so much to the team. Thoroughly recommended. It was easy to book via email and the lessons were perfectly tailored to our abilities.…
