  Incredible Week

  Wow! What an incredible week! We were blessed with perfect (nearly) whether a wonderfully kind crew and unbelievable sites. To be part of Above & Beyond’s first charter in Greece was extra special. Anyone who has the opportunity to spend time with the Captain, enjoy a taste of chefs food and receive a smile and kind conversation and experience the friendliness, should count themselves fortunate. We hope this won’t be our last time in Greece, and certainly not the last we see if this crew or vessel!
