Catamaran Cruise Nafplio: Greek Wine & Swimming

Four and a half hours of sailing, swimming, and wine between hidden shores

A semi-private catamaran cruise from Nafplio that takes you to secluded beaches and the small islands of Romvi and Daskalio, where you swim in the Argolic Gulf, try snorkeling and paddleboarding, and taste wines from Nemea wineries with local food and fresh fruit. The skipper shares the history of the coastline and adjusts the route based on weather and what you want to do that day.

The experience

The boat leaves Nafplio's old harbor and sails toward Romvi and Daskalio, anchoring between them so you can swim in water clear enough to see the bottom. You get snorkeling equipment and a SUP board to use as much or as little as you want: some people spend the whole stop in the water, others float on the board and watch the islands. The crew brings out food as you're anchored: Greek pies filled with feta and spinach or chicken, sandwiches with salmon or tuna, seasonal fruit, and a rotation of wines from Nemea wineries along with juices and other drinks. The skipper talks about what you're looking at (the history of the islands, the towns visible from the water) without turning it into a lecture.

You can choose a morning departure or a sunset one, and the route shifts depending on weather and what appeals to you that day. The whole thing runs 4.5 hours from start to return, which means you're not spending half the day on logistics. If you're staying in Nafplio without a car, the boat leaves from the port right in town. If you're based elsewhere in the Peloponnese, private transportation to the harbor can be arranged at checkout.

Is this one for you?If you're staying in Nafplio without a car, the boat leaves from the harbor in town, so you walk to the dock instead of arranging transport to a distant marina. Private pickup from your hotel or another location can be added at checkout if you need it.

All fees and taxes are built into the price.

Can I swim and snorkel on this Nafplio catamaran?

Yes. The boat anchors between Romvi and Daskalio islands, and you can swim in the clear Mediterranean water for as long as you want during the stop. Snorkeling equipment is provided, and a SUP board is available if you'd rather paddle or float.

How long does the catamaran cruise take?

The cruise runs 4.5 hours total, including the sail from Nafplio port to the islands, the anchored swim and snorkel time, the meal and wine service, and the return to port.

What are Romvi and Daskalio?

Romvi and Daskalio are small islands in the Argolic Gulf near Tolo, reachable only by boat. The catamaran anchors between them, giving you access to secluded beaches and clear water that larger tour boats don't reach.

Do I need to know how to sail or snorkel?

No. The skipper handles all the sailing and can teach you the basics if you're interested. Snorkeling equipment is provided, and you use it at your own pace. There's no instruction required, and you can skip it entirely and just swim.
