The experience

You board Captain Morgan, a brand-new 2024 luxury cruiser, at the Kos waterfront and spend the day island-hopping across the Dodecanese. The route takes you to Pserimos first: a tiny town with golden sand and a charming port where you jump straight into the sea for your first swim. From there the boat heads toward Kalymnos, and if conditions allow, you'll watch for dolphins off the coast before arriving at Vathy, a small port known for natural sea sponges and local honey. Between stops you're free to relax across three spacious decks, and the crew keeps the onboard atmosphere lively with music and activity.

Four swimming stops punctuate the day: Pserimos, Vathy, Plati with its serene small bays, and a surprise hidden-gem location on Pserimos where you can either relax or dive back in. BBQ lunch is served on board, with vegetarian and vegan options available if you request them when you book. Two onboard bars serve drinks, cocktails, slushies and snacks throughout the day. A restroom is available on the vessel. The whole experience runs seven hours from departure to return, with the remaining time built in for travel between islands.

Families with infants can bring a pram or stroller, and small children sit on an adult's lap during the cruise. The boat suits all fitness levels. A live guide speaks English, Italian, French and German, so you get context about each stop without needing to arrange a separate tour. Arrive 30 minutes before departure to board and choose your seats.
