The experience

The boat leaves Lindos bay at 10am and sails north for roughly 1 hour 10 minutes to the first swim stop: timing shifts with the wind. You're invited to help steer and trim the sails if you want to. If not, the cushioned deck and couches are there to relax on while the skipper handles it. The engine runs only when anchoring, when hunting for wind, or if the sails aren't moving you forward fast enough. Safety comes first in every decision.

At the first stop, you jump in with snorkeling gear provided and ready. The boat passes Lindos bay on the way, and you'll photograph the Acropolis rising from the water: over 100,000 people visit it each year, making it Greece's third most-visited archaeological site. Navarone bay, close to Lindos, is the likely second swim stop. Between swims you eat Greek lunch with salad and fruit (on full-day bookings made more than 14 hours ahead), sip complimentary wine, beer, Prosecco or soft drinks, and settle into the plush deck.

The group stays small: typically around 10 people, never more than 13. That size means everyone gets space on the large swim deck and nobody waits for gear or a turn in the water. A waterproof camera is included if you want to capture what's below the surface.

Top questions

Can I help sail the boat or do I just watch?

You can steer and trim the sails if you want to. The skipper will teach you. Relaxing on deck is equally fine. The choice is yours each time the opportunity comes up.

How many times do we stop to swim and snorkel?

The skipper guarantees a minimum of two swim and snorkel stops, weather permitting. The exact locations depend on wind and conditions on the day.

What is the Acropolis of Lindos and why do we see it from the boat?

The Acropolis of Lindos is an ancient hilltop fortress overlooking Lindos bay. The boat passes close enough for clear photographs as you sail north from the departure point.
