The experience
The boat leaves Piraeus as a wooden sailing yacht, not a motorized ferry, which means the crossing itself is part of the experience. You're greeted with welcome coffee, juice, water, tea, and snacks before the sails go up. The first stop is Agistri, where an hour of free time lets you walk the beaches and greenery, or rent a bike to cover more ground faster. The island is small enough that either way works.
From Agistri the yacht sails to Moni or Metopi (the crew picks based on the day's weather), where the water is clear enough to see the bottom. Snorkeling gear is provided, or you can swim without it. A professional chef has been working in the galley the whole time, and lunch is a full Greek buffet with fresh ingredients and local dishes, eaten on deck while the boat sits at anchor. After eating, there's time to rest or go back in the water before the next sail.
Aegina is the final stop, famous for pistachio nuts and ancient ruins. You can walk the town on your own or book a horse-drawn carriage ride around the island. Both options are available when you arrive. As the afternoon light softens, the yacht turns back toward Piraeus, and the return crossing gives you time to sit on deck, watch the Saronic Gulf, and let the day settle.
Top questions
What languages is the tour guided in?
Live guide in English, Spanish and French.
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Child (6 to 10 years); Infant (under 6): free.
What happens if it rains?
It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.
What's the water like at Moni and Metopi where we swim?
Moni is known for crystal clear waters, and snorkeling gear is provided so you can see what's below the surface. Metopi is the backup anchorage if weather shifts the plan, and both sites are chosen for the same reason: visibility and calm water for swimming.
How much free time do we actually get on each island?
Agistri gives you an hour to explore the beaches and greenery on foot or by bike rental. Aegina's free time depends on how long lunch and the swim take, but it's enough to walk the town or take a carriage ride and see some of the island's ruins and pistachio groves.
Is the lunch included, or do we pay extra for it?
Lunch is included in the cruise price, along with breakfast and unlimited drinks throughout the day. A professional chef prepares a full Greek buffet with fresh, local ingredients and serves it aboard while you're anchored.
Do I need to know how to sail, or is this a passenger experience?
You're a passenger on a guided tour. The crew handles the sailing and navigation. A guide in English, Spanish or French leads the day and explains what you're seeing. Your job is to swim, snorkel, eat, and watch the islands and water.
What happens if the weather is bad?
The crew chooses between Moni and Metopi as the swimming stop depending on weather conditions that day. The overall route (Agistri, then the anchorage, then Aegina) stays the same. The tour runs in most conditions. The operator notes it's not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health because of the boat motion and the full day of activity.
