Free roundtrip transportation is included in your cruise price. We arrange the pick-up from your hotel (or, in case your hotel is not accessible by car, at the nearest convenient location) and drop you back after the cruise.
Our cruises include a full, restaurant-like BBQ meal onboard, including appetizers such as grilled mushrooms, grilled feta cheese, traditional Greek salad, and for the main course fresh fish, chicken skewers, pasta Napolitain or oven-baked ratatouille. Should you wish to dine in a restaurant instead, this option is available on Private Speedboat Cruises, Private Sailing Yacht Cruises at a sea-front restaurant at Thirassia Island.
The capacity limit of the Semi Private Catamaran Cruises varies, depending on the Cruise you will book, from 16 to 20 guests onboard.
Embarkation and/or disembarkation at the Old Port of Fira is possible and can be accommodated on Private Cruises at an extra charge. Bear in mind that on occasion, this may only happen via tender boat, thus it is not recommended for guests with mobility issues.
On Semi-Private Daily Cruises, we provide standard snorkelling equipment and towels onboard. On Private Cruises and Charters to other islands, upon request and at an extra charge, we also offer SUP boards and canoes.
Guests enjoy top-tier amenities, including gourmet meals prepared by skilled chefs, comfortable lounging areas, and personalized services tailored to each guest’s preferences. We aim to provide an unforgettable and luxurious sailing experience.
In case you are concerned about seasickness, we provide travel gums onboard, and the crew is always there to make you feel comfortable and provide tips to ease the situation and help you enjoy the cruise to the fullest. If you are not a good swimmer and do not wish to swim, you can remain onboard and indulge yourself in our open bar offering, as well as the traditional Greek dishes prepared by our crew, made with the finest and freshest ingredients. Last but not least, every vessel is fully equipped with life jackets, as our top priority is every guest’s safety.
Regarding the BBQ meal onboard, in case you are vegetarian or vegan we offer pasta Napolitain or vegan oven-baked ratatouille with eggplants, potatoes, mushrooms, zucchini, garlic, onion and tomato sauce.
In case there is a person with reduced mobility in your group, we would recommend booking a cruise that departs from Vlychada Marina, as embarkation/disembarkation at Ammoudi Bay might be harder due to the area’s frequent strong winds. Furthermore, we would recommend a private cruise where we will be able to create a safer environment for you after coordinating with the crew. In any case, let us know how we may be of best service.
