The FULL DAY CRUISE is available as a shared experience (for individual bookings) or as a private charter (for families or groups who want the boat exclusively).

Destination options (weather‑dependent)

1) Along the west coast of Sifnos

09:15 embark
09:30 depart
16:30 disembark
2-3 stops chosen among these bays (depending on conditions):
- Gialoudia Bay
- Vlichada Bay
- Hontropou Bay
- Fikiada Bay
- Kitriani Island

2) The uninhabited island of Poliegos

09:15 embark
09:30 depart
17:15 disembark
2-3 stops around the island in secluded coves

Sifnos and Poliegos are two different islands! The difference between these two routes is sailing time and overall duration: Poliegos lies about 12 nautical miles from the small port of Platis Gialos, so this cruise runs a little longer to give you the same unhurried time for swimming and stops.

Pricing note: Choosing Poliegos adds +€20 per person due to the longer cruise and higher fuel consumption.

What to expect

We don't "tick off" specific sights. Our proposal is a day like no other on a refined and very comfortable wooden gulet, immersed in nature's quiet. There's plenty of time for swimming and snorkelling in coves you can't reach from land, with relaxed cruising between our stops.

Good to know

The final route and stops are decided by the captain on the day, based on safety and prevailing conditions.
We recommend comfy clothing, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a towel.
Please inform us in advance about dietary preferences/allergies so we can adapt lunch accordingly.
Embark/disembark: Platis Gialos, Sifnos (unless otherwise arranged).
