The experience

What makes this different from a set-route tour is the freedom built into it. You're not following a fixed schedule or a group itinerary: the captain and hostess ask what appeals to you, and the boat goes there. Want to spend an hour at Paraga Beach swimming in turquoise water and trying the local taverna food, then skip Paradise and head straight to Super Paradise? That's your call. The kaiki itself is a 10-meter wooden boat with a brand-new eco-friendly engine, recently restored to keep the traditional mykonian feel while running smoothly. WiFi is on board if you want to share photos as you go, and the crew speaks English and Italian.

The boat passes Psarou Beach first, where you'll see the legendary Nammos Beach Club and its open-air designer boutiques from the water, then Platis Gialos with its calm turquoise shallows and seaside tavernas. From there, you anchor at one or more of the south-coast beaches (Paraga, Paradise, or Super Paradise) depending on what you want. At Paraga, the water is clear and sheltered, and the beach bars (Scorpios, Kalua, SantAnna) line the shore. At Super Paradise, you can try local mykonian food and relax before heading back. Snorkelling gear is provided, so you can go in the water whenever you want to.

The four-hour tour includes Greek wine, light lunch, bottled water, soft drinks, fruit, and the services of an experienced local captain and hostess. Bring your swimsuit, towels and sunscreen. The crew handles the rest. You'll need to provide a photo of your passport to the port authorities by email or WhatsApp at least 48 hours before departure.

Is this one for you?Book the morning departure if you want the full four hours of daylight and calmer waters. The afternoon option works better if you're joining other activities later in the day. Either way, the private format means you're not waiting for a group or sticking to someone else's pace. The boat and crew are yours alone.

Can I choose which beaches to visit on the Mykonos cruise?

Yes. The itinerary is entirely up to you. You tell the captain and hostess which beaches appeal to you, and the boat takes you there. You also decide how long to stay at each stop, so a four-hour cruise can focus on one or two beaches in depth, or sample several.

What is Paraga Beach like, and why do people stop there?

Paraga is a sheltered bay on Mykonos's south coast with crystal-clear turquoise water, golden sand, and a laid-back but lively vibe. The shore is lined with some of the island's most famous beach bars (Scorpios, Kalua, and SantAnna), so you can swim, relax and eat without leaving the beach.

What food and drinks are included on the cruise?

Greek wine, light lunch, bottled water, soft drinks and fresh fruit are all included. You'll also have the chance to try local mykonian food at the beaches where the boat stops, if you want to order from the tavernas there.

Is snorkelling equipment provided?

Yes, snorkelling gear is included, so you can go in the water at any of the beaches where the boat anchors.
