Great hosts, beautiful views of southern beaches in Milos. Marion and Nico fed us well, shared information and highlights of the history of the coves and caves and the boat was great!

We had the absolute best day with Marion and Nikolas. The day was filled with swimming, snorkeling, and the most beautiful scenery. One of our favorite days/activities while in Milos thanks to our two captains!

First and foremost we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Marion and Nico for this truly unforgettable boat trip. Nico the captain knows exactly where to take you on a journey of discovery. Its so personal he knew the island like the back of his hand. This experience is something that will inspire me for the rest of my life. The hosts are so accommodating, knowledgeable about the island and treated us like we are visiting a family. We had the best group. Please don't hesitate to booked this tour.

Wonderful day on the boat

Haluk_A, Sep 2025
Both Nikos and Marion were very nice, friendly and they made sure we enjoyed fully our day on the boat with them. Will do it again with them if we ever come back to Milos in the future

ArkSailing Experience in Late August

Zachary_H, Aug 2025
We ended up doing the south side of Milos due to strong winds. Plenty of room on the boat to relax, chat, and enjoy the sun. On the boat there were drinks, appetizers (brunch) and lunch served on the boat. Tour guide couple was fantastic, and made the experience extra amazing. The views and mini excursions (cliff jumping, going through caves, visiting beaches, snorkeling etc) were very nice. All of these were optional and you can opt to relax on the boat with a drink in hand. For a cruise that lasted almost whole day from morning to dusk, we thought it was very worthwhile. Only things to note is the bathroom on board is quite small, and you will need lots of sunscreen!

10/10 highly recommend

Jordan_S, May 2025
Nikos and Marion were an awesome team. 10/10 experience, great fun!! Ask Nikos about cliff jumping ☺️

Amazing tour with wonderful hosts.

Christian_r, Oct 2024
Marion & Nicos were amazing hosts who provided a fun and relaxing experience. We hit multiple stops, with plenty of time to swim and explore. At every stop Nicos got off the boat with us to give us a small guided tour while swimming or on the smaller dingy boat. We had a chance to do some cave exploring and even cliff jumping. Food and drinks were great especially the Greek cuisine prepared by Marion. Both of them were very knowledgeable and provided great information about the island and the areas we visited. Although the island can be very windy causing choppy sea conditions they readjusted the itinerary for a smooth sailing experience. Highly recommend and would do it again. Thank you, Marion & Nicos.

Loved it!!

Brittany_B, Oct 2024
Our tour guide was husband and wife Nick and Marion. Such an awesome couple. Their hospitality and warmth really made it a fun experience for everyone. The plans for our trip had to change the day before because of strong winds on the south side that made it bad for sailing. But they let us know the day before of the new plan to stay up north. I appreciate that they kept us safe and still gave us a fun tour of caves and beautiful rock formations on the north. They even took us to another nearby island. The food was amazing and the weather was perfect. I highly recommend this tour, you’ll have an awesome time

good day on the water

Horace_M, Sep 2024
The boat trip. It was excellent but, unfortunately, not the one we booked which was cancelled. We saied around the north-east of the island not the west coast.

Great boat day!

Marisa_D, Sep 2024
Great tour! Learned a lot about the island and was great going on the dingy in kleftiko. Marion and her husband were very friendly; great service and the food was delicious!

Fantastic family boat day

Max_C, Sep 2024
Had a wonderful time with Nicos and Marion! What drew us to the tour was the small size of the tour 15 people, and the multiple meals on board (which were incredible). They gave us a wonderful tour of the west side of the island on our way out Klelfiko with two stops to swim beforehand. Nicos took us on a private dingy tour around Klelfiko. They both went out of our way to make sure that we had an excellent day, definitely recommend!

Milos sailing day

Lara_C, Aug 2024
Marion and Nikos are the most wonderful hosts. They make you feel right at home on their sailing boat, their energy is infectious and they are both so kind and down to earth. Marion prepares and serves amazing food and Nikos guided my 18 and 21 year old sons to cliff jumping into the ocean. They are also very knowledgeable about the island and make your day on the water and along the coast of Milos extremely special and memorable. Thank you Marion and Nikos for the best day! Kind regards, Lara, Paul, Kaitlin, Christopher and Matthew

ARKSailing is by far the best!

Keith_M, Jul 2024
From first contact to the moment we parted ways, our host and capitain were beyond the best anyone could ask for. They ensure everything goes smoothly. From the moment you step onto their boat, you are transported into a whole new world. The information and history that is given throughout the entire day is endless, the food served is simply delicious and their smiles are quite contagious. I myself have a fear of water, from swimming to boating….but they gave me the confidence I needed to enter the sea and discover its beautiful wonders. Marion and Nicolas will show you the beauty of Milo’s from the sea, take you on an adventure you will never forget.

Out of this world activity - could not speak highly enough of hosts and going above and beyond!!!

Patrick_M, Jul 2024
Entire experience from start to finished was unreal! Marion and Nikos were incredible and this day was easily our favourite from our entire holiday. The boat was great, clean and had everything we needed, hosts were extremely nice, fun and knowledgable. Snorkelling and entering caves was out of this world. Could not recommend this tour enough!!!

ARCsailing on Milos is not to be missed!

AnneMarie_S, Jun 2024
The trip was a highlight and one not to be missed. We had a small group of 15. Both Nikos and Marion could not have been more welcoming. They both knew a lot about the island, and shared even more when you asked questions. We spent 2 hours in Kleftiko, which was amazing. One hour for swimming and eating a fantastic lunch. The other hour was in the Zodiac. We zipped around the area. Went in and out of coves, caves and natural arches. Some people even jumped from rocks. We also went to several other beaches. Each different than the other, but all were amazing. The west side of the island is only accessible by sea. The food and hospitality were incredible. There are many sailing trips to choice from on Milos. We felt we really lucked out by choosing this particular boat. A sincere thank you!

Best day ever!

Jen_W, Jun 2024
Amazing boat tour from Milos and to other islands! Marion and Niko were amazing hosts and made everyone feel right at home! The food was incredible! The views were incredible! We had to change the itinerary dues to the winds but it was still an incredible day! If you can book this tour, do it! You won’t regret it!

THE BEST DAY EVER

Alexis_M, Jun 2024
My friend and I just returned from THE MOST amazing day on the water with Marion and Niko. To say they went above and beyond would be an understatement. Completely transformed our time in Milos. What a fabulous group of people we had onboard. Food was impeccable, views were stunning, exploration was amazing. Today will be a day to remember forever and a near impossible one to beat! Cheers to Niko and Marion!!

Best day on the water!

Amanda_G, May 2024
Marion and Niko were so friendly and knowledgeable! The day spent with them was absolutely fantastic! The sights we saw were incredible and the food (breakfast, lunch and snacks!) were so delicious! 10/10 highly recommend!

Fantastic and memorable

JamesRobert_B, Oct 2023
Our hosts were amazing. Knowledgeable and beautiful scenery. They served us incredible food and it was the best boat tour we’ve taken. Thank you Marianne and Nicolas 😊

Amazing!

Makenna_K, Oct 2023
Marion and Nikos made our day absolutely incredible! We had a change of plans due to weather but they ensured we still had a great day full of adventure. The food was delicious and Marion was always willing to provide drinks whenever we wanted. The sights were amazing and I felt very well taken care of. Nikos had lots of fun facts regarding the island. There was a lot of swimming so if swimming isn’t a strong suit or not something you enjoy I wouldn’t recommend this particular trip. Otherwise, I would 100% recommend this cruise!

The hosts were well...

Jenny_S, Aug 2023
The hosts were well organised and the day was so much more than what we expected. Definitely recommend it to anyone who visits Milos.

Spent 2 weeks travelling...

Niamh_F, Aug 2023
Spent 2 weeks travelling Greece and this was by far the most memorable of our experiences. Nikos and Marion provide a great day out, can’t fault anything from knowledge on the area, food/drinks and snorkelling. If you are booking a boat trip, I recommend this one.

Best excursion ever!!!💞

Angela_C, Aug 2023
Jumping off the cliff was extremely exciting, exhilerating, memorable and so many more wonderful emotions all at once! Thanks to our guide Nikos who was very knowledgeable and passionate about sharing the beauty of the island with us, it made our day that much more special. His experience gave us confidence to try things out of our comfort zone and we had so much fun. His wife Marion was very pleasant, hospitable and a wonderful cook. We just simply loved every minute and strongly recommend this tour. Angela, Maria & Family from Canada 🇨🇦

Highlight of our Trip

Julian_T, Sep 2022
The cruise was both peaceful and exciting. We got to enjoy the beautiful scenery of island from the water and then participate in some fun snorkelling activities in and around the caves. The crew always had a smile on their faces and it created a positive energy the whole time on board. We learned so much about Milos and it’s history while exploring the island. To top it all off, the food was absolutely delicious. We would recommend this tour to anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of Milos.

Musssst doooo!!

Shonelle_M, Aug 2019
My husband and friend travelled Europe for 1 month and this was easily our favourite day! Paros and Aris (forgive my spelling and pronunciation) were incredible guides for the day. We made friends with the two instantly and they knew the trip so well made the day fun and interesting. Everything was incredible including the food and as there is a 12 person maximum we had plenty of room to enjoy the boat all day. Cannot thank and recommend these guys enough!!

Incredible Experience!

Vishal_P, Jul 2019

Magnifique journée

Richard_L, Jun 2023
Excellente journée. Marion et Nikos nous accueillent comme des amis. Pas trop de monde sur le bateau ce qui permet une belle interaction. Marion et Nikos expliquent et parlent de leur île avec passion. Et ils prennent le temps. On ne se sent pas sous la pression d'un horaire. A la fois une journée intense et reposante ponctuée de belles découvertes et surprises que nous ne devoilerons pas ici. Nous recommandons à 200%
