This boat trip is amazing, the staff were second to none. Islands were delightful and the people we met on board made the extra special………big shout out to our American shipmates 🥰
In peak season the boat will be crowded. We were fortunate to have about half of the number that they can carry. Only 2 bathrooms and the men’s door could not be closed. The food was good and plentiful.
-A pleasant afternoon on a lovely rustic boat. Staff could not have been more accommodating!! Communication of all the expectations very clear.
- Food is fantastic. Something for everyone.
-Only issue is choice of Music during 10 hour cruise. It would be great if the staff mixed up the music choices for ALL ages.
- Little shade on boat.
Warm and friendly crew, great food and a beautiful day. We had fun shopping and exploring all islands
It was a beautiful wooden boat, the crew was very friendly. And lunch was delicious! Would have preferred to just sail around the islands, instead of getting off.
Bring your bathing suit- the water is so clear and warm! The trip was fabulous and we had so much fun chatting with our hosts and meeting new people on the boat. The islands are beautiful. The lunch onboard was amazing. We didn’t want to leave the boat.
It was well organized trip with super friendly staff on the board. Very nice meal, congratulation to the chef!
fantastic environment, so relaxing as well as multiple opportunities to venture and stretch your legs
My only disappointment, it was described as 3 islands, one we pulled up near and island to swim in the ocean. Food was wonderful, guide was great, the islands were breathtaking.
It was a beautiful day, and the crew was very kind and friendly. The food was delicious and our guide, Faye, was helpful the entire day.
The trip to the islands was a blast and so beautiful. The beaches we visited were crystal clear and not at all over packed, and the home cooked food was amazing. We enjoyed the unlimited coffee and wine, and the crew’s attitudes were welcoming and helpful all day long.
2.5 hours each way to get to the islands. You get about 1.5 hours at each island and about a 30 minute stop to swim in the ocean. You get breakfast and lunch, beer was served at 1pm. Rating a 3 bc of the "seating" arrangements on the boat. There was 1 seat per passenger but it was a deterrent from people from moving and walking around the boat. It was a long time to stay in one spot unlesss you wanted to sit in the back with the smokers.
This is a must do! We had such an amazing time. Angelo and the crew were so welcoming and nice. Visiting the different islands was so fun.
The whole trip was excellent. From the moment we were picked up to the moment we got back to our hotel everything was taken care of. The staff communication was excellent and it was a very relaxed day at sea. Food and snacks were plentiful and extremely good. Any minor points that previous reviews have raised weren’t an issue on our trip. Get yourself booked on this trip.
We had an incredible day on this tour. The turquoise and crystal-clear water was mesmerizing. The crew was incredibly accommodating, ensuring everyone had a fantastic time. The food was delicious, and there were attractions catering to everyone’s interests. We snorkeled a lot and enjoyed the sailing. The boat was clean and comfortable, making it a perfect day out. I highly recommend this tour. Faye and Angel were especially incredible. Faye went above and beyond to guide us around the islands, even saving me from a car when crossing the street in Aegina. Angel serenaded us and was eager to share his culture. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire day!
Awesome day, it was a great crew and we had a lot of fun. The food was some of the best we’ve had in Greece.
We thoroughly enjoyed our day on the boat touring the 3 islands. The crew was extremely knowledgeable and attentive. The chef prepared an awesome lunch. There was plenty of time to swim and check out the islands. Jumping off the boat was a lot of fun for everyone. Grab yourself a comfy chair on deck and settle in for a great trip!
This was a highlight in our visit to Athens. The cruise staff was very nice, the food and drinks were great, and the scenery was amazing. We loved getting to swim in the beautiful blue sea at our second stop. Our only wish is that we would have had more time and opportunities to swim in the Saronic Gulf.
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.
Once and a lifetime experience! So much fun, get out of your comfort zone a bit! Food was incredible, and the people on the boat where so friendly!
We had a great day! Not to mention a great lunch in the staff was very accommodating. I would recommend to anybody that has a day to spend all in Athens.
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.
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.
Great experience. Crew was friendly and professional, and we got a good little taste of the islands we visited. Boat was beautiful, food and drinks were delicious.

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.
Warm regards,
The Bestcruise.gr Team
