The Experience

What time does the boat leave, and how do you get there? A minivan picks you up from your hotel in the Mykonos area and takes you to the marina—no need to arrange transport yourself. Once aboard the modern catamaran, the crew briefs you on safety and the day ahead, and you find a spot on deck as the boat heads out into the Aegean. The sail past Mykonos' white houses is the first stretch of the journey; most people spend it with a camera or a glass of Mykonos wine, watching the water change color as the island recedes.

The first real stop is Delos, the ancient birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. You don't land on the island—the boat anchors offshore and a guide points out the Terrace of the Lions and the House of Dionysus from the water, giving the history and the mythology without the walk. It's a short stop, meant for photos and the story. Then the catamaran sails to Rhenia, where the day opens up: the boat anchors in a cove and you swim in water clear enough to see the seafloor. Snorkeling gear is provided free, and swimming noodles or life vests are there if you want them. The crew keeps an eye on the water the whole time.

While you're swimming or floating, the galley is working. When everyone comes back aboard, a freshly prepared meal is served on deck—the kind of food that tastes better when you've been in the sea. Seasonal fruit, bread, and all the drinks you want come with it. If you booked the sunset cruise, you get the same stops and the same swim, but the return to Mykonos happens as the light turns gold, and the boat drops you back at your hotel as the day ends. The whole thing takes five hours from pickup to drop-off.

Is this one for you?Book the morning departure if you want the full day ahead of you after the cruise; choose sunset if you prefer to swim and eat as the light changes and return to your hotel as evening arrives. Both versions follow the same route and include the same meal and swimming time—the difference is when you want to be on the water.
