This was the best travel excursion I’ve ever done! Not only was the boat beautiful and the destinations beautiful, but the food was amazing, and the crew were even more amazing. They were friendly and kind and helpful and very genuine.

This was a fun day. My daughter and I enjoyed the cruise. The “snorkel” island was a bit disappointing as there was no fish or sea life to be seen. However , it was refreshing to be in the beautiful turquoise water. It would have been nice to get some suggestions for things to do on the other 2 islands as it was a little disappointing that we didn’t find much to do on our own. (We failed to do our own research before the cruise as we booked last minute)
Overall, it was a nice day.

What an amazing day out on the water! The boat was beautiful, the views were stunning, and spending the day with friends made it even more special. Everything was well organized, relaxed, and full of great moments. Highly recommend this excursion for a fun and unforgettable experience!

This is a great thing to do if you want a nice ce chill day on the water. The staff were wonderful and timely, and the offerings were great. We were picked up at a meeting point and met the boat at ❤️PIRAEUS. We vlboarded the boat with about 50 people. We were greeting and told they had a light breakfast for us of cakes, cookies coffee, juices, etc. we were the. Told that we were going to be cuisine for about 1 1/2 hours until we reached Agkistri. We were offered an add On E bike tour, or to go on our own and explore the Island for 1/2hrs. We walked along the coast line and took our time visiting a few small shops. We than boarded the bus and headed to Nisis Metópi. We anchored and this stop was for swimming and lunchtime. They had snorkel gear and noodles for us to use. When we got back on the ship, a beautiful lunch spread was set up for us. We then cruised to the town of Aegina (famous for the pistachio nut and products. We could swim and/ir go to the shops, but not before a delicious pistachio nut and bi-product tasting-YUM! We stayed at this Island fora out 1hr and 40 minutes and on the trip back (which was about 2 hours), fresh food was served. They also had beverages and wine and beer throughout the day. Everything mentioned was included except for a small fee for bike rentals. This was a fabulous tour and I highly recommend it! ☆☆☆☆☆

Amazing day filled with activities. Beaches were beautiful and staff were very nice. Lunch and drinks on the boat was also great.

So far, this was the highlight of our trip to Greece. There was plenty of refreshments nonstop on the boat. Our tour guide Faye was great and went out of her way to make sure we had a great time. All of the staff and crew were exceptional. Definitely worth the money.

Candace_T, Aug 2026
Very relaxing, beautiful time on the water and on the islands. Food was fantastic. Crew was helpful. Not all seating was comfortable for such a long ride.
Amanda_R, Aug 2026
This Cruise exceeded my expectations. The vessel was beautiful and charming. There’s plenty of comfortable seats for everyone to chill. The staff was very friendly accommodating, and seem to anticipate our needs most notable is Faye Dimitri, and the gentleman who was always in charge of putting the anchor down the sites were beautiful with the chemistry and genuine care from the crew is what documented the entire event. The food was so delicious for the price for this event, I can’t believe the quality and variety of food and drink that we where offered thank you to all members and the captain.

Tour, food was great. Only white wine, one lager beer, and soda for beverages. No bottled water. When I asked he told me to drink sprite. Arranged and paid for hotel pick up and it was stated and shown on reservation but day before we received an email stating we have to Walk to a diff hotel for PU because ours was not one they pick up from. Even though when I paid and reserved it was available. I just had injections in my Spine so walking steep hills in Athens is very difficult and painful but had no choice and the next day I was in a lot of pain . Not happy at all with this last minute change. If I wanted to walk I would have saved my extra money that I paid for private car transportation and walked to public meet spot. Disappointed for sure
Response from Host, Aug 2026
We’re glad you enjoyed the cruise and food, but we’re sorry the pickup arrangement fell short. A last-minute change requiring a steep walk was especially difficult given your recent spinal injections, and we understand how the resulting pain affected your experience. Water is included among the published beverages, so we also regret that your request was not handled more helpfully.

The islands were beautiful. Lunch was good.
Be careful with buying the pistachio products that I heavily recommended in terms of flight requirements. Everything I bought failed security and was thrown away. Delicious but such a waste of money.
In addition the second stop is not an island but for swimming. I misunderstood the description because it gives an amount of time for each of the ‘3’ islands where one is to swim in the ocean nice but I would not define the tour as 3 islands where but as 2 islands with swimming
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience and for highlighting the beautiful islands and enjoyable lunch. We also appreciate your helpful note about pistachio products and airport security, as well as the clarification regarding the swimming stop in the itinerary description.

We went with 2 of our adult children. The boat was beautifully cared for, the crew were all attentive, knowledgeable, fun, and eager to please. The boat capacity was 50, which I think might be a little crowded, but we had plenty of room to spread out and move about with about 30 of us on different levels of the boat. The food was outstanding and one of the highlights of the trip. We had plenty of relaxation on the boat, about 90 minutes at 2 of the 3 stops and a lovely anchoring with lunch at a 3rd island location where we got out for a swim. Some people even chose to stay on the boat at the island stops. It was relaxing and fun with plenty of time to admire the beauty of the water and islands. I would definitely recommend this trip to others.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience with your adult children. We’re delighted that you enjoyed the spacious atmosphere on board, the attentive crew, and the lunch anchoring and swim at the island location.
