How do I book a cruise?

You can book directly through our website by selecting your preferred cruise, choosing your date, and completing the reservation. You'll receive an instant confirmation email with all the details. For events, weddings, or custom charters, please use our enquiry form and our team will get back to you within 24 hours with a tailored proposal.

Do I need to pay the full amount when booking?

For our per-person day cruises and sunset cruises, the full amount is charged at the time of booking to secure your spot. For private charters and events, we require a deposit to confirm your date, with the balance due closer to your sailing date. Exact terms are outlined during the booking process.

Can I buy a cruise as a gift?

Yes, and it's one of our most popular requests. Contact us directly and we'll arrange a beautifully presented gift voucher for any cruise or experience. Perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, honeymoons, or any occasion worth celebrating.

What is your cancellation policy?

Free cancellation up to 48 hours before departure for per-person cruises. Private charters and events have specific terms outlined at booking. Bad weather according to the port police? Full reschedule or refund — always.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit and debit cards through our secure online booking system. For private charters and events, bank transfers are also available. Full payment details are provided during the booking process.

Where do your cruises depart from?

Our scheduled cruises depart from Alimos Marina in Athens. You'll receive the exact berth location, a map pin, and arrival instructions in your confirmation email.

How do I get to Alimos Marina for the scheduled day cruises?

Alimos Marina is easily accessible by tram and bus from central Athens. If you're driving, free parking is available at the marina. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are also convenient options. Detailed directions are included in your booking confirmation.

Do you offer hotel transfers?

Hotel transfers are not included in the cruise price for either scheduled or private cruises, but we can help arrange transfers upon request. Contact us and we'll take care of it

Is there parking at the marina?

Yes, free parking is available at Alimos Marina for our guests.

What time do the cruises depart and return?

Departure and return times vary depending on the cruise type — whether it's a full-day cruise, sunset cruise, or half-day experience. Exact times are listed on each cruise page when you book. You'll also receive detailed timing information in your confirmation email.

Is there a minimum or maximum number of guests?

Each cruise has a carefully considered capacity to ensure a premium, uncrowded experience. Our scheduled day cruises operate on two motor sailers — one accommodating up to 49 guests and the other up to 160 guests. For private charters, we can accommodate groups ranging from 2 to over 100 guests across our fleet.

Can I book a private charter for my group?

Absolutely. Any vessel in our fleet can be chartered exclusively for your group, from 1 guest to over 150. Contact us for a tailored proposal.

Do you host wedding parties and events?

Yes, and it's one of our specialities. From intimate proposals to grand celebrations, we handle everything cruise-wise. Visit our Events page or use the contact form for a bespoke proposal.

What if I want to cruise in other destinations or charter a yacht for a weekly cruise?

Please, contract us because we have access to any type of yacht all over Greece.

Do you offer bachelorette or bachelor party packages?

We are currently developing dedicated bachelorette and bachelor party packages for both private and semi-private options. In the meantime, contact us directly and we'll create a tailored experience for your celebration — whether it's a sunset cruise with a DJ, a day-long island-hopping party, or something entirely unique.

What's included in the cruise price?

Our scheduled per-person cruises include food, an unlimited open bar (water, soft drinks, beer, and wine throughout the cruise), crew service, and music. Exact inclusions vary by cruise and are listed on each cruise page. For private charters, inclusions depend on the package — details are provided in your tailored proposal.

What should I bring on board?

For scheduled cruises: wear comfortable clothing and bring a swimsuit, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and a light layer for the evening breeze. Towels are not provided on scheduled cruises, so please bring your own. For private charters: towels are provided; just bring sunscreen and your sense of adventure. On all cruises, we recommend flat shoes or sandals with non-slip soles.

Can I bring my own food or drinks on board?

For scheduled cruises, food and an open bar are already included, but you're welcome to bring your own items on board if you wish. For private charters, please let us know in advance what you'd like to bring so we can accommodate accordingly.

Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes. We can cater to vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergy-specific requirements with advance notice. Please let us know your dietary needs when booking so our chef can prepare accordingly.

What is the food like on board?

Our scheduled cruises feature a carefully curated Greek-inspired menu prepared fresh on board by our chef (or two chefs on our larger vessel). The menu is the same across both of our motor sailers, ensuring a consistently excellent dining experience regardless of which vessel you sail on. Expect vegetarian dishes, fresh salads and dips, appetisers, side dishes, and meat-based main courses.

What kind of boats do you use for scheduled cruises?

Our scheduled day cruises operate on two beautiful motor sailers — sisterships that share the same elegant design. The smaller vessel accommodates up to 49 guests comfortably and was fully refitted in 2026, while the larger accommodates up to 160 guests and was built in 2024. Both are based at Alimos Marina with permanent, experienced crews.

Are both boats the same quality?

Yes. Our two motor sailers are sisterships — they share the same design, the same level of service, and the same menu. The only difference is size: the larger vessel has more crew members and two chefs instead of one. You can see photos of both vessels in our gallery.

What vessels are available for private cruises?

Beyond our two motor sailers, our private cruise fleet includes motor yachts, catamarans, and RIBs of various sizes. Whether you're looking for an intimate cruise for two or a large-scale event for over 100 guests, we'll match you with the ideal vessel. Browse our Private Cruises page or contact us for a personalised recommendation.

Will I get seasick?

We take every precaution to ensure a comfortable experience. Both motor sailers are equipped with stabilisers to minimise movement, and we customise the programme based on weather conditions so our guests are as comfortable as possible. We also always have seasickness pills, gums, and natural remedies available on board, just in case.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Your safety and comfort come first. We monitor weather conditions closely and customise the cruise programme accordingly. If the port police issue a sailing ban due to severe weather, we offer a full reschedule or refund — no questions asked.

Is smoking allowed on board?

On scheduled cruises, smoking is permitted in exterior spaces only. We ask guests to be considerate of fellow passengers. Indoor areas are strictly non-smoking.

Is WiFi available on board?

Yes, WiFi is available on board. Please, keep in mind that mobile phone signal doesn't hold well throughout some areas of the Saronic Gulf.

Are children welcome on your cruises?

All ages are welcome aboard our cruises. Children aged 0–5 sail free of charge, and children aged 6–12 enjoy a 50% discount. We ask that all children are supervised by an adult at all times.

Is the boat accessible for guests with mobility issues?

Our vessels are not fully wheelchair accessible, but we can often accommodate guests with mobility needs with prior arrangement. Please email us before booking with details of your specific requirements and we'll let you know exactly what we can do to make your experience comfortable and enjoyable.

Are pets allowed on board?

Unfortunately, pets are not permitted on our cruises. This is for the safety and comfort of all guests on board.

I'm pregnant, can I join the cruise?

We recommend consulting your doctor before booking if you are in an advanced stage of pregnancy. Please contact us in advance so we can ensure your comfort and safety on board. For cruises on RIBs, we strongly advise against it.

Do you have water wings or floaties for the children?

Yes we have.

Are your cruises safe?

Absolutely. Our vessels are fully licensed and meet all Greek maritime safety regulations. They are equipped with modern safety systems including life jackets, life rafts, and fire safety equipment, all regularly inspected. Our permanent, experienced crews are trained in first-aid procedures.

Is tipping expected?

Tipping is entirely optional and at your discretion. Our crew takes pride in delivering an exceptional experience regardless, but gratuities are always appreciated if you feel the service was outstanding.

Do I need any travel documents for the cruise?

For our day cruises within the Saronic Gulf, no passport or special documentation is required for EU citizens. International visitors should carry valid identification. You will need your booking confirmation or e-ticket, which is sent to you via email.

What if I miss the departure?

We strongly recommend arriving at least 15–20 minutes before the scheduled departure time. Unfortunately, we cannot delay departure for late arrivals, as our schedules are coordinated with weather, port authorities, and the comfort of all guests on board.
