Private Catamaran Cruise Mykonos: Delos & Rhenia with Lunch

Ancient ruins, hidden coves, and a freshly grilled lunch on your own boat

A private catamaran cruise from Mykonos visits the archaeological island of Delos and the secluded waters around Rhenia, with hotel pickup and drop-off, a skipper and crew, BBQ lunch with local appetizers, snorkeling equipment, and unlimited wine and beer. You pick either a half-day or full-day departure, and the boat's pace is set by your group alone.

The experience

Your hotel pickup starts the day, and you board a private catamaran ready to leave whenever your group is ready. The boat carries only your party, so there's no waiting for other travelers or following a fixed schedule that doesn't match your pace. A skipper and crew handle navigation while you settle in on deck or below, and the catamaran heads toward Delos first: the legendary birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, now one of Greece's most important archaeological sites. You'll have time to explore the Temple of Apollo, the Theater, the House of the Dolphins, and the mosaics and statues scattered across the island, all set against views of the Aegean.

After Delos, the boat moves to Rhenia, where the waters are clear and far fewer visitors arrive by tour boat. Here you swim and snorkel in coves the crowded beaches of Mykonos never see, with snorkeling equipment already on board. A freshly prepared BBQ with chicken skewers and local appetizers is served onboard, paired with unlimited wine and beer throughout the day. You can stay in the water as long as you want, move between spots on your own schedule, or simply lie on deck without the noise and press of a larger group.

The half-day option runs five hours. The full-day runs eight. Hotel drop-off is included at the end, so you don't need to arrange transport back. The boat is anchored when you board and leave, so embarkation and disembarkation happen by tender: a small boat ferrying you between the catamaran and the shore. Children must stay seated on an adult's lap while on board, and parents supervise them throughout.

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 can I see and do at Delos?

Delos holds the ruins of the Temple of Apollo, the Theater, and the House of the Dolphins, along with well-preserved mosaics and statues that show ancient Greek life and mythology. You explore on foot while the catamaran waits, with the Aegean as your backdrop.

Is snorkeling equipment included, or do I need to bring my own?

Snorkeling equipment is provided on the boat at no extra cost, so you can swim and snorkel in Rhenia's waters without packing gear or renting it separately.

What's the difference between the half-day and full-day cruise?

The half-day cruise runs five hours. The full-day runs eight hours. Both visit Delos and Rhenia and include the same meals and drinks. The full-day simply gives you more time in the water and at each stop.

Does the price include drinks?

Yes, unlimited wine and beer are included throughout the cruise, along with soft drinks. The BBQ lunch with appetizers is also included.

How do I get on and off the boat?

The catamaran anchors in the water, so you board and leave by tender: a smaller boat that ferries you between the catamaran and the shore. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, so transport to and from the dock is arranged for you.
