The experience

The boat leaves from Serifos with a local skipper who knows the island's coast. Instead of following a fixed route, the day adapts to the weather and what you want to do: some groups want more time in the water, others prefer drifting between coves. You stop at secluded beaches and picturesque coves that are easier to reach by sea than by land, the kind of spots that stay quiet because most visitors never find them.

Swimming and snorkeling happen throughout the day in crystal-clear waters. Snorkeling equipment is provided, so you bring only a swimsuit. The boat carries bottled water and soft drinks, and you're free to spend an hour at one beach or move on after twenty minutes: the skipper adjusts as you go. Five hours on the water means you're back by early afternoon, leaving the rest of your day open.
