Mykonos sunset cruise: Swim, snorkel, dinner and drinks

You swim in famous bays, then eat dinner while the sun drops into the sea.

An evening sailing cruise along Mykonos's south coast combines swimming at two stops with complimentary snorkeling, a fish dinner and drinks served on board, all timed around the sunset. The cruise runs 4 hours and includes towels and all fees. Pickup and drop-off are available for an extra charge. Live guides speak English and Greek. Depending on group size, the boat is either a 40-person or 30-person gulet, both wide and comfortable with plenty of space to relax between swims.

• Enjoy fish delights and drinks on board
• Relax and watch the magnificent sunset

The experience

You board in the evening as the light starts to soften. The boat sails across the south coast, passing the bays Mykonos is known for, and drops anchor at the first swim stop. Snorkeling equipment is provided (mask, fins, snorkel), so you can explore the water at depth or simply float and cool off. The crew hands out towels when you climb back aboard.

The second swim stop comes next, then the boat turns to face west. Dinner arrives on deck: fish with vegetables, coffee or tea, and drinks (alcoholic drinks are available to purchase for guests 18 and older). You eat and drink as the sun moves toward the horizon, the light turning gold and then red. The cruise ends after dark, and if you booked the transfer option, the driver meets you at the dock and takes you back to your hotel.

A few things to know: everyone goes barefoot on board for safety and comfort. If you're not a confident swimmer, the crew can provide a swimming noodle or life vest. Bring a swimsuit, hat and sunscreen. A light jacket helps in early or late season. The starting time shifts through the year to match the sunset. If weather turns rough, the crew will call the evening before with changes or a cancellation notice. Groups over 15 people need to book as separate reservations.
