The experience
You board a Bayliner M17 at St Paul's Bay and head straight for the water. The boat is small enough to reach the sea caves and hidden corners that bigger vessels can't access, which means less time cruising and more time in the water. The skipper plots the route around your group's pace and what the sea is doing that day. You're not locked into a fixed schedule or a predetermined number of stops.
The route moves through Pirate Bay with its dramatic rock formations, then into the turquoise water of Navarone Bay for your first swim. Pentanisos Islet comes next, one of the area's best snorkeling spots with visibility that lets you see the seafloor clearly. The highlight is Lindos, where you snorkel inside the sea caves and explore coastal tunnels. A setting you won't find on a standard beach day. As you enter Lindos Bay, the Acropolis sits on the cliff above you. A final stop at Cleobulus Bay gives you a light snack, cold drinks and the option to swim again before heading back.
Snorkeling equipment and a sea scooter (safe for kids six and up) are on board, so you don't bring your own. The boat has a sunshade, a cool box, and Bluetooth speakers so you can play your own music. Beverages run to wine, beer, juices and sparkling water. The food is Mediterranean finger food, breadsticks, fruit and biscuits. Sea turtle sightings are possible in summer, though not guaranteed. The two-hour option covers the main stops. The three-hour version gives you more time at each site and the chance to explore further if conditions allow.
Top questions
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 for snorkeling at Pentanisos Islet and Lindos?
Pentanisos Islet has excellent visibility and is rated one of the area's best snorkeling spots. Lindos offers the unique experience of snorkeling inside sea caves and coastal tunnels, where you can see the seafloor and explore the underwater formations up close.
Can I bring my own snorkeling gear or do I have to use what's on the boat?
Snorkeling equipment is included and provided on the boat, so you don't need to bring your own. A sea scooter is also available for kids six and up if you want to explore with less effort.
How many people can fit on the Bayliner, and is it a private charter?
This is a private boat, so your group books the entire vessel. The skipper adjusts the route and stops to suit your group's preferences and the sea conditions on the day.
What happens if the sea conditions are rough or the weather turns bad?
The skipper adjusts the route based on sea conditions and your group's comfort level. The boat is designed for swimming and snorkeling, so the skipper will modify the stops or timing to keep the experience safe and enjoyable.
Is the two-hour or three-hour option better for families with young kids?
Both work for families. The two-hour option covers the main highlights (Navarone Bay, Pentanisos Islet, Lindos sea caves and Lindos Bay) with less time on the water. The three-hour option gives more time at each stop and a chance to explore further, which suits families who want a more relaxed pace or kids who love the water.
What food and drinks are included?
The boat provides Mediterranean finger food, breadsticks, chips, fruit and biscuits, plus beverages including Coca-Cola, diet cola, juices, mineral and sparkling water, wine and beer. A final snack and refreshments are served at Cleobulus Bay.
