Good cruise. Would only recommend to someone who is good at swimming. The captain and crew were very fun. The food was good.
We had a very pleasant day! The staff of the boat was at the top! The sumptuous landscapes! The meal with its chicken skewers, grilled fish and salads was delicious! I recommend
Me and my girlfriend, in mid-August, took the boat ride between Antiparos and Despotiko on the Meraki and we had a really great time. Very kind crew, relaxed atmosphere and snorkeling stops in wonderful places: mask, dive and clear seabed. Joking note: the wine glasses were definitely “British style”, that is, nice and full. The environment was very international, but there were also several Italians, we must have been at most thirty people. The food on board was varied and plentiful: for lunch well grilled meat skewers, crispy Greek salad, cold watermelon and other things. Open bar throughout the day with Coca-Cola, wine (try the rosé!) and beer in a can. Comfortable boat, perfect stops and smooth organization. For us it was an unforgettable experience, worth every euro spent. We also recommend it to those who speak little English: on the Meraki you still feel welcomed and at ease.
Was a good time on the boat and sight seeing around the island. Got to swim and go to some caves. The service was good and provided food and drink more than once.
Was great, worth it for the cost. Might be a little crowded at some moments but for us was just fine. Be sure to bring sunscreen
Heavy winds forced a several day delay in our outing. The tour operators stayed in touch and offered to refund or rebook. So happy we chose to rebook. The memories are wonderful- amazing water and views, gracious Captain and crew, good food. Definitely recommend. If you are driving be sure to give yourself plenty of time to find a parking spot in busy Parikia and locate the right boarding area.
Wonderful experience. The crew were on time, very accommodating to all requests and served an amazing lunch. I would recommend to all who are in the area.
We had a wonderful experience with this excursion. We spent the day swimming at various stops along the way, cave swimming and cliff jumping. Our host prepared a fabulous lunch of chicken, fish, pasta salad, and Greek salad with unlimited wine and beer. I would highly recommend doing this trip.
Very good tour, it was likely fully booked but we still had a lot of room to move around on the boat, and did not feel cramped. There were a lot of lengthy stops for swimming/snorkeling, and the cliff diving was exciting. I think more options than just vegetables or seafood would be a good addition, and would be our only suggestion. However there was plenty of food for everyone, and plenty of wine and beer. A bit more history of the boat would be excellent as well, since it is marketed as a traditional boat. However I understand the crew is busy making sure everything is prepared for us, and cannot necessarily always play tour guide while we are on the water.
What an amazing day and what an amazing crew. These guys were so nice, every single one of them cared about the boat and its cleanliness, the guests, the locations they took us to, and the FOOD! The fresh food they cooked in front of us was some of the best we had in Paros. I can’t say enough good things about this experience. What I can say is that it is an absolute shame that they don’t have 5 stars due to some donkey brained people leaving lower reviews for things out of their control like the weather LOL Anyways, I fully support the efforts this team put in and hope you give them a chance!
