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 experience was once in a lifetime. The crew was wonderful very attentive, informative and made the trip easy to understand. Book this if you are in Athens. This is a trip you don't want to miss.

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

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.

This Greece island boat tour was amazing. The crew was incredible and just what I was looking for. Knowledgeable but gave you time to explore on your own.

A beautiful way to see Greece! A nice break away from Athens to see smaller islands and a different view point! Delicious food! I only wish there was more time to actually swim at the swim spots and the first island and less time at the Aegos spot. Otherwise beautiful! Angelo was great and willing to answer any questions
Deborah_W, Jun 2026
What a relaxing day sailing the Saronic Gulf. The food was amazing- prepared onboard by a Michelin Star chef. Round trip transportation was included and a appreciated plus.
Stephanie_B, May 2026
The entire crew was fantastic. The food was amazing. The views are incredible. We had a great group of people with us, even had one that had taken this tour before. A great day on the water, highly recommend.
Toni_W, May 2026
The crew is absolutely amazing and charming. They take such great care of you. The travel is so comfortable and engaging. And the FOOD was nothing like you’ve had before. 100:/10 recommend!

Angelo and his crew were very organized! We had a great time. We enjoyed the two islands we visited, enjoyed the swimming, and enjoyed the food!
Jennifer_Z, May 2026
Amazing. At one point they anchored the boat and got to swim and snorkel in the Sardonic Gulf. Agestrika is a small island village that has a trail up the hill. Aegina is a bigger port town with many cafes as well as a beach to the left. One: suggestion bring covering to avoid sunburn and also pants or sweats for the wind which chills.

Best service in all of Athen! Amazing trip with great food and the views is stunning. A must if you visit Athen.
Patti_G, May 2026
Fun experience, great food and ship crew
Interesting seeing life on the islands. Can be windy so take long sleeves
carleen_c, May 2026
Wonderful day ! Crew amazing and fun loving! Chef made great Greek foods. It was a relaxing enjoyable experience to be able to swim and relax on the boat plus walk around the Islands. I highly recommend this tour!
Kelly_M, May 2026
I do recommend this cruise, but I can’t say it was perfect enough to give the full 5 stars, maybe 4.5!!!
The good:
Excellent crew/hotel transport staff
Everything in the description was provided as indicated
Suprisingly good meal! They have a chef on board
Beautiful stops
Overall well run
The not so great:
Boat didn’t have enough comfortable seating for all passengers
They ran out of some food items quickly at lunch
This is a personal thing and prob not an issue for most, but the staff was smoking cigarettes constantly and since I’m allergic to smoke, it bothered me even in outdoor areas
It was worth the money paid and very fun though and everyone working for the transfers and cruise was so so nice!

This is a fabulous experience. I was traveling alone and wanted to experience a couple islands since the majority of my trip is on the mainland. First, the crew is wonderful. Extremely accommodating and hospitable. I felt taken care of. I met some nice people but I am an extrovert and would have still enjoyed myself if I had wanted to keep to myself. I was nervous about a bridal group and a couple other groups of young adults who were aboard. I thought it might turn into a “booze cruise,” but it was really fine - the crew made sure everyone was happy. The food was fabulous too!
A couple points to clarify. You only actually get onto two islands. You “park” in front of a third island during lunchtime and if you want to take a swim. So you don’t really go to three islands. But that’s ok, the two we visited were amazing and there was plenty of time to experience the islands. The Greek people are so hospitable and friendly, everywhere we went. Second, the swim in the water, in my opinion, is not essential to the experience. The day we went was kind of chilly and it even started raining at one point so I did not want to get cold and wet in the water. I did not feel like I missed anything. Perhaps on a sunny, mid-summer day it would be great. Overall it was such a wonderful day and we were back to port by about 6pm. I highly recommend this experience if you are looking for a little taste of a couple of beautiful islands!

We had a great experience with Angelos, Demitrius, and the rest of the crew (apologies for spelling). They were very knowledgeable and made the trip very fun. The boat was beautiful and the crew does a great job maintaining it. Food served on board was a delicious combination of traditional Greek food and the unlimited soda/beer/wine were appreciated. The islands we visited were lovely as well, but the boat ride itself was our favorite part.
Our only complaint is that we received several emails/viator information confirming our reservation but they had conflicting information on pickup location which caused some stress the morning of.

Very relaxing and fun atmosphere on the boat. The staff was fantastic and you can tell they love their work. The food was amazing and the service absolutely wonderful!! Highly recommend!

From the pick up to drop off, everything was run smoothly. The crew on the ship were helpful and friendly. The different islands were beautiful and interesting and the ocean was wonderful
We thoroughly enjoyed our day.
Logan_v, May 2026
The crew on board were lots of fun and very experienced. The food was delicious and the biking excursions really helped with seeing around the island. The waters were a tad cold but jumping from the ship were worth it.
Gigi_Z, May 2026

Chris_R, May 2026
All the dudes are bad ass. We had more fun than I anticipated and I suggested for everyone. Extra nine characters.

Great crew and an amazing trip !! Very hospitable
Tour was as described and had a delightful experience
Nasreen_R, Apr 2026
We had a brilliant time on this trip. We were picked up on time & checked on & off the boat at each stop. The crew were attentive, friendly & helpful. Explained where we were & what activities were possible. The lunch was excellent, could eat as much as you wanted & very tasty. On the way back Angelis played his bazooka & sang for us. Couldn’t fault it.
Mia_C, Apr 2026
The crew was very nice. Boat trip was lovely and we really enjoyed it. Keep in mind if your not booking in summer it may be a bit cold.
Alecia_P, Apr 2026
Absolutely incredible. The crew was friendly, hospitable, helpful, fun, all of it. We had the best day! They not only enhanced our experience they made it memorable and joined in our games.
Angelina_M, Apr 2026
Pack towels and bathing suits. Breakfast lunch and snack available. Lots of shopping opportunities. Pick up delicious pistachio products from Agaena or Pistachio Island. It's cold and windy on the trip back especially if you are going to sit outside. They have thin blankets so you may need extra things to stay warm. Have fun.
Laura_M, Apr 2026
Make sure you have the contact number handy if you have booked the pick up & drop off. My driver apparently took someone else instead of me and I was left standing half hour after pick up time, after having arrived 10 mins early. When I called they did send a taxi and were very apologetic, but bad start. Its why I gave 4 instead of 5 stars.
Trip itself was excellent, crew very friendly, lovely wooden boat. Lots of food, drinks available. Brilliant day. Bring a jumper or jacket though, ranged between chilly & very hot.
Lizbeth_N, Nov 2025
IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!! We did go on off season but there was so many things to still see and do! Being able to swim in the island waters was such a great experience and most of all it was relaxing, I really enjoyed my time! The guides were very nice, thank you to them for making everyone have an amazing time
