The experience was amazing and we enjoyed the shipwreck island, blue caves and the lunch at Nikoloas, Zakynthos. They even had a wonderful second stop for us to enjoy a nice swim on our return to Poros port. The staff are extremely friendly and wonderful people who took great care of the guests on their boat/yatch. I highly recommend them.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such an amazing experience exploring Shipwreck Island, the Blue Caves, and enjoying lunch at Nikoloas in Zakynthos. It’s wonderful to know that you also enjoyed the extra swimming stop on the return journey to Poros port — those moments often become special memories of the day. Our crew truly appreciate your kind words about their friendliness and care. Making our guests feel welcome, safe, and relaxed is always our top priority, so your recommendation means a great deal to us. Thank you again for choosing to sail with us, and we hope to welcome you back on board for another unforgettable trip in the future!
Nice day. There are a couple of moments of navigation a bit long that, if exploited sunbathing in costume become super pleasant. The stop at the beach of the wreck is only from the boat to take a picture, as well as the one at the Blue Caves because the boat is too big to pass through, but other smaller boats pass without problems, so you do not swim in that spot, but we stopped shortly after in a place with beautiful colors. We left after the bathroom stop we stopped for lunch where they deliver a discount voucher for a local, but you can go where you want and swim... let's say it's an opportunity to see places that from the ground you can not see.
Thank you so much for sharing your detailed feedback! 🌊 We’re glad you enjoyed the beautiful day on board and made the most of the navigation time relaxing in the sun. You’re absolutely right—the stop at the Shipwreck Beach and the Blue Caves is mainly for photos, as the boat is too large to enter, but we’re happy you enjoyed the stunning swim stop just after, with its amazing colors. We’re also pleased you liked the lunch break and the opportunity to explore freely. As you said, the real charm is discovering places that can’t be reached from land, and we’re delighted you got to experience that. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
Beautiful experience, to do again very soon. The turquoise blue water and warm. The captain and the whole crew of the nice hipper boat.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a wonderful experience with us. The warm, turquoise waters, the sunshine, and the atmosphere on board—it's great to know everything came together for a memorable day. Our captain and crew will be so happy to hear your lovely feedback! We’d be delighted to welcome you back again very soon for another adventure at sea.
A magical spot for couples, The turquoise sea, dramatic cliffs, and iconic shipwreck took our breath away. We made memories we’ll never forget.
Thank you for your kind review. We are delighted to hear that the natural beauty of the turquoise sea, dramatic cliffs, and iconic shipwreck contributed to a memorable experience for you. It is always our pleasure to provide a setting where lasting memories can be made. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future.
My trip was terrible. When we arrived to Shipwreck Beach, I was on the side of the boat and about to take a picture when a large object came flying at me. It was one of the seat cushions from the front of the boat which was not securely fastened. It could have knocked me into the water. Fortunately it did not, but it did knock my iphone out of my hand and into the water. The crew apologized, but did nothing to help compensate me for this horrible and unsafe experience. Barely any shade available the boat, and seating was limited. Inside was unbearably hot. At no point were we shown lifejackets. Would NOT recommend.
We’re sorry to hear that a flying seat cushion ruined your entire day — and your phone. While we understand how surprising a gust of wind can be, we do want to clarify that random acts of nature, such as wind lifting an object, are outside our control and certainly don’t make us responsible for where you were holding your phone at the time. For the record, all our boats meet strict safety standards, life jackets are always on board (stored visibly or under seats), and cushions are secured — though unfortunately, we can’t control the weather or how tightly guests hold their devices while leaning over the side for the perfect photo. We are, however, glad to hear you managed to get a new phone quickly — and still had time to leave us a review. All the best on your future adventures.
Departing from the port of Poros the visit includes a stop at the wreck beach, a swim stop in a bay surrounded by caves, lunch stop at the port and subsequent stop for swimming in blue waters never seen! A tip, do not stop at the restaurant recommended by them with 10% discount, there are better see the reviews

We had a wonderful day with Zante cruises. Lovely comfortable boat captained by man with 40 years experience and only 20 people on board. We thoroughly enjoyed the Shipwreck Beach, Blue Caves, and swimming opportunities from the back of the boat. They had pool noodles and life jackets for anyone who was not a strong swimmer to give everyone a chance to enjoy the experience. Highly recommended.

I booked with my company a one-day cruise in Zakynthos and was completely satisfied with the excellent service I received from the office that took over the reservation. From the very beginning, the staff was very helpful, professional and willing to guide me. All the details of the tour were perfectly organized by the Kefalonia Excursions without any stress or unexpected. I will definitely use their services again as I saw that they have other similar cruises and tours.
Wow what a wonderful review which truly makes our hard work truly worth it! Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with us!
