2007

What everyone else says about your wonderful boat, fantastic food, idyllic islands, tremendous skippering and hostessing is absolutely true; however what has made this whole holiday so particularly special is your kindness, fun and friendship. We cannot thank you enough for giving us such a wonderful time. This week will be the start of new adventures but we will be back for sure.

Scorpios Sailing, Greece

Well, we've been back a week now, and are still missing Scorpios and Greece. We've talked about our holiday a lot, and have come to the conclusion that all the great things about it, such as Lesley's food, Roger's expertise and wit, the comfort and beauty of the yacht, the sea and sunshine and landscapes, what made it really special was you two. Not only are you totally professional in all you do, but we felt you were genuinely friendly and warm towards us.

We also enjoyed meeting Corinne, Steph and Rob who all contributed to making a very happy boat.

David, Angela and Anna, August 2007

What a wonderful way to relax. We wanted to be near the water and that's what we got.

Fantastic food, drink, company and excellent venues each night.

Many thanks!

Things I have learned this week (in no particular order):

1) It is not advisable to tack in 2 metres of water

2) The rules of Uno can only be changed with the full agreement of all players

3) The port side is left

Many thanks for such a memorable week, we are most appreciative of you ensuring that we had a safe and enjoyable time.

Best wishes for whatever the future holds!

We have had such a fantastic time that words seem inadequate. We have laughed so much our stomach muscles are in better shape. Roger's expertise, Lesley's hostessing and Andy's “Land” combine perfectly to create a floating heaven.

Thank you all so much for providing us with memories of a life time.

P.S. Hope you cope without Chief Engineer Angus!

Absolutely fantastic from start to finish, it has been faultless: weather, food, company, hospitality...

We have visited some fantastic places with gorgeous scenery and done some interesting snorkelling under the guidance of Harry J ("have a feel") the Cabin Boy.

Skinny dipping is a must with the underwater light show!

The whole crew, including Nikos, are a credit to Scorpios - we enjoyed it that much we will see you next year with the family!


Kevin and Julie, August 2006

 

I was taken by the statement on your website "you can do as much or as little as you like". We did exactly that!

Thank you so much for looking after us so perfectly – nothing was too much trouble. We have had a wonderful week on Scorpios – totally relaxing and our two skippers did an excellent job, too.

2005

The Scorpios food was lovely. Roger was very kind and funny. Sailing on it was fabulous - we did a lot of relaxing and had fun at the beaches. You get to go in a cave to have a look around as well. Roger plays music for you to enjoy while you sail to another beautiful island, and you see beautiful views of mountains.

Penny Hedges (age 9), May 2005

What a week of feasting and fun, wonderful food, fabulous scenery and the friendly banter between two very dedicated and fun people who have obviously found their soul mates. We enjoyed being part of your "story" for a week (sorry about the alcohol consumption, Lesley, but your food deserves a suitable libation to wash it down). Loved the sailing, Roger – you inspire confidence and are always willing to share your knowledge and enthusiasm about what you enjoy.

If you are ever passing through Suffolk, throw out an anchor and we'll give you a safe mooring for the night and return some of your wonderful hospitality. It was great craic.

Paul and Judy, June 2005

Scorpios Sailing, Greece

This has been the perfect week, the perfect way to unwind, the holiday with everything. A lovely boat, good company, wonderful food, a good laugh and a diplomatic incident every day. What more could anyone want? Except, of course, for another week!

Graham and Mary, July 2005


2004

What can we add that hasn't already been said?
Roger and Lesley are truly a premiership team.

Congratulations on making so much effort on your part seem so easy!

We would love to spend quality time on board with you both, and our new found friends, in the future again.

Alan and Sharon, June 2004

We never normally go back for a second holiday to the same place. However, this decision was the right one because you both work so hard to be the perfect hosts and, more importantly, friends.

Our waist lines are expanded and sun tans coming on nicely. You have given us confidence to try to sail a boat ourselves. We promise not to bump into you, but you will always be welcome on board for a G & T.

Alan and Margaret, June 2004

 

Scorpios Sailing, Greece

This has definitely been the best holiday we have had. We have felt so relaxed and have had such fun. Roger as always has been entertaining with his jokes and songs. Lesley is the most amazing host who makes the catering look effortless in a kitchen that you can't swing a cat in. The food has been exceptional and we have felt so at home and welcome aboard Scorpios.

Thanks Roger and Lesley, we're definitely coming back.

Nick and Karen, August 2004

 

Thank you for having me. I've had a wonderful time.

Kieran (age 8), August 2004

 

 

Our first time ever on a yacht and wow what an experience! It certainly was the highlight of our stay in Lefkada.

Lesley and Roger were the perfect hosts, and it was lovely to be in such great company.

Many many thanks!
Sam, Michael, Rob, Dan and Luke, August 2004

 

What a fabulous holiday, it exceeded all our expectations! Thank you both for the excellent service, Roger for all your wit and good humour, Lesley for all your hard work and professionalism. What a hero diving in with that rope to moor the boat! We are already talking about a return visit next year.

Thanks again for a fantastic holiday!

2003

We arrived to a warm welcome and enjoyed lots of fun, sunshine, relaxation and good hospitality on Scorpios.

Roger and Lesley organised a well planned holiday, visiting a variety of islands and ports during the week. Roger is so enthusiastic, informative and helpful, and above all is such a professional skipper! His highly trained team of able seamen (Lai, Elvis and Spider) kept us amused all week. Lesley is the perfect hostess and her imaginative, tasty food is worthy of 5 stars!

They both made it a special, fun holiday for us and Frank's birthday breakfast in Sivota was just great. It has been a privilege to be their first guests and we wish them a long and successful venture with Scorpios.
Mary and Frank, May 2003

 

About to leave after a wonderful voyage aboard good ship Scorpios. Rogers's seamanship is faultless, manoeuvering in the trickiest conditions. Lesley is the perfect host, supplying tasty meals every day and always smiling! This is a holiday I will not forget and one which I would like to repeat as soon as possible!
Martin, July 2003

 

An excellent and unforgettable week! Thank you very much – Roger, your seamanship and knowledge is unending, we felt so safe, even myself in my 'anxious' state when the wind was strong! I certainly enjoyed taking the helm, it increased my confidence no end. And Lesley, the food was excellent, my diet has definitely gone to pot this week! Sleeping on deck and being at one with nature was so lovely. Thank you, thank you, and thank you!

Kerry, July 2003

 

This has been absolutely fabulous, the sailing is really fun as well as motoring, the weather, sea and sunbathing is brilliant. Roger and Lesley's hospitality is lovely. On the third day there is a lovely bay with lots of urchin shells. The current ‘Urchin Searchin’ record is 19 held by Genevieve (me), Charlotte and Lucy. Thank you Roger and Lesley for the best holiday ever! Love from Genevieve.

PS If you are having chocolate hide it from Roger

PPS If you're lucky you can join the muddy mads (ask Roger about it)

How lucky I was to find you. After a very difficult year I go home better and stronger than when I came aboard. All due to two unique people and, of course, Scorpios. Good luck and best wishes.
Alf Mullens, September 2003

 

Alan and Margaret recommended Roger and Lesley to us after they had spent a week aboard Scorpios in June, their recommendation was glowing but it could not have prepared us for such a super week!

Our welcome on board Scorpios was as warm and genuine as you could have wished for – we felt at home as soon as we set foot onboard. We soon settled into Roger and Lesley’s way of running their beautiful boat, gentle ‘armchair’ sailing it certainly was. We were kept highly amused with Roger’s jokes and banter. Lesley’s food has been just wonderful – what a star. We thank you both, we have had a great time and can’t wait to come back again next year.
