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.

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

This was a great way to see so much in Greece! We had the best day mingling with other travelers, exploring the islands, jumping off the deck into the Med, and eating delicious food. A great way to see more of Greece!

The islands were beautiful, but one of the staff members stole a hat from me. I contacted them to see if they had found it, but they denied it. Therefore, I thought I had lost it at sea. As I began going through photos, I discovered a photo of one of the staff members wearing my hat. The trip was well worth it, but it’s not safe to trust the staff.

Vera_B, Sep 2025
I had so much fun! The water was clear and such a lovely shade of turquoise blue that day. The staff on the boat did a great job making sure everyone was safe and having a good time.
I loved the part where we anchored and got to swim next to the boat in the sea. I had lots of fun diving off the side and swam around the boat even seeing its eyes.
A really liked how they took us to different islands to go look around. I especially liked Aegina island, the pistachio ice cream there was to die for!
It was a fun experience overall and a great into to the various islands in Greece. I enjoyed pretending to be Odysseus for a day exploring different islands.
Next time I go island hopping I’m off to Ithaca but for now this was perfect.
I only felt a little awkward being there by myself, definitely more of a thing for groups or couples.

This was a great experience! Reputable company, safe boat with plenty of space and coverage from the sun. It felt like a comfortable amount of time at each location. The lunch provided was absolutely delicious and there was plenty of it! Very helpful and attentive staff. Extremely reasonable price for how much you get. Definitely recommend!

Great day on the sea amazing lunch the islands were picturesque. Swim in the sea was wonderful. If you enjoy the water this is a must do
Gardner_M, Sep 2025
Staff was friendly and courteous. Explained/ instructions were clear and transportation provided was on time both ways. The stops / islands included were beautiful.

We had such a wonderful experience on our one-day boat cruise! From start to finish, the customer service was excellent. The team went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, including arranging pickup and drop-off directly from our hotel, which made the whole day stress-free. The food on board was absolutely delicious and really added to the experience. It is important to note that this is a nine hour event, so be sure to bring plenty of sunblock and anything else you might need for a full day in the sun. We’re so appreciative of all the thoughtful touches and the warm hospitality. Highly recommend this cruise for anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable day!

This full day tour experience included transfers lunch drinks and three island stop overs. The first stop was to a small island with a little church and a souvenir stop. The second stop was a swimming stop in the bay of a small island, and we could swim in the deep blue ocean. Lunch was served at the stop. Then the last stop of the day was to the larger Agena Island where we walked around in the city looking at the various markets, pistachios and a short swim in the ocean. Then it was time to head back to the mainland with a drop off at our hotel.
Chloe_H, Sep 2025
We had this as our 6th day in Europe, but our 1st day in Greece. Could not recommend enough. This was the highlight of our entire trip. I wish we could have done two days of it with this being day 1 and then a day 2 of some new islands. Loved the food, the staff, the swimming, the islands— all of it.
Jesus_T, Sep 2025
I paid to be picked up from my hotel was required to walk to another location, The boat lacked sufficient shaded areas which left you exposed to the full sun. I saw another similar boat with ample shade. The staff was not friendly. I did not feel bad in leaving no tip, as I took all of my left over Euros to leave as a tip.
Kevin_G, Sep 2025
Jason was excellent explained everything to us all throughout the day. Even the fact that the ship stalled for about 15 minutes could not spoil an amazing day. Thank you to Jason and the crew for a memorable day.
Christian_R, Aug 2025
Well worth it, beautiful stops and snorkeling. Very friendly staff. Food was ok, but the destinations wear breath taking
roger_m, Aug 2025
The crew was friendly and personable and the food was very good. There was very little shade on the boat and we spent the day dodging the sun. The picture shows the extent of the shade other than the cockpit and cabin for 8 hours in the sun. There also wasn't any fresh water to wash off after swimming. The first island we stopped at didn't have much of interest. This first stop could be missed and more time spent at the swimming stop
Cheryl_M, Aug 2025
The food was great. Service was great. Boat was too old and seemed to be worst of the bunch out there. Not enough covered seating. No fresh water to rinse off after swim but other boats did have water. they should Skip the first island.
Savannah_F, Aug 2025
It was a lot of fun. The crew members were funny and welcoming. I appreciated that they kept track of us to ensure we were on the boat after each stop.
Clifton_L, Aug 2025
If you are looking for a relaxing way to spend a beautiful day around Athens then this is a must do. Boat guides were fantastic, food was delicious, and the overall vibe with the music, sailing, swimming, and relaxing was outstanding.
Raymond_F, Aug 2025
It was a most enjoyable day out. The entire crew were amazing and the lunch was one of the best meals I had while in Athens. Congratulations to the crew.
Chad_V, Aug 2025
Great cruise, crew was very friendly and had a great sense of humor! All stops were beautiful and had so much to do. Water was clear and swimming was a ton of fun, highly recommend!
Kenneth_C, Aug 2025
Jason our guide was so friendly and fun.
Lunch was good and they also provided coffee and breads for breakfast
Pistachio island was so interesting. It was great on such a hot day to be able to cool off by swimming in the sea
Jessica_B, Aug 2025
the taxi ride was pre arraigned. the boat was clean and well kept. the staff was amazing and spoke good english. crew members were knowledgeable about all of our stops and made sure we knew how to make the most of our time at the stops. provided lunch was fantastic as was the cold beer and the swimming was unmatched! would definitely do this again if we return to greece. our highlight of the trip for sure.
Giselle_P, Aug 2025
The pickup transfer was on time and it took us to all the spots listed in the description. The boat was and restrooms were cleaned. Deducting a star because they did not have enough food. They served the food during a swimming stop. When my friends were done swimming 2 of them did not get to eat the food because there was none left. I suggest they change this and serve the food after we leave the swimming location. 2 of my friends were able to eat the food and our stomachs hurt. The wine was also very low quality and they do not announce it. You have to go to the bar and ask for it. I will say that the staff was friendly.

Tour was great, crew were amazing and they couldn’t help anymore if they tried. Amazing day. Would highly recommended it.
Alice_L, Aug 2025
Amazing experience! So worth the price! My friend and I had such an amazing time and the stops at each island was the perfect amount of time. Agistri and Aegina are more touristy smaller islands so the 1-1.5 hours on each is enough.
Brooke_H, Aug 2025
The boys who ran the tour were absolutely wonderful; immensely helpful giving tips about the rest of my trip, so kind, and full of life! The food was delicious and plenty for the full boat load of us. Couldn't fault them, thank you!
Jeff_T, Jul 2025
This was a great excursion. Unlimited beer and wine made it very economical. The crew are very helpful and the food was delicious. The clear waters were breath taking.
Thomas_K, Jul 2025
Plan an entire day for this boat trip! It is 9+ hours! We were a bit surprised at how long (2.5 hours) it took the boat to get to the 1st island stop on the tour. The boat is old but has a good vibe. Bring plenty of sunscreen and be prepared for the sun!! Very few shade spots on the boat the best is in the back of the boat but be prepared as most of the crew members smoke and this is where they like to hangout. Crew members are young and energetic and have fun! 2nd island stop is the most fun as the boat anchors and patrons have a chance to jump into the pristine blue waters from the top deck of the boat. 3rd island stop is the pistachio capital of the world. Neat vibe —- be sure to taste the ice cream and gelato! Long day so be prepared for the 2+ hour journey back to Athens. Lunch food was good.
Rob_M, Jul 2025
To be clear, the boat was a really nice boat. The crew is energetic and friendly. The food was actually really good. I really could not have asked for a more enjoyable swimming day.
The minor things, the island stops (2) were a bit rushed. It is tough to explore much at all. Some of the food dishes ran out, so I would eat first and swim second. On the ride back having a way to expand the shaded area would have been awesome.
Again all of the concerns were minor. We still had an awesome day.
Ronda_A, Jul 2025
This was a terrific excursion for a grandparent and teen granddaughter. The crew was terrific and so pleasant. Food was surprisingly very good. We met people from all over the world and had a great time. The transportation to and from our airbnb was a plus but we had a cranky driver which was unfortunate on this otherwise wonderful day.
