The absolute best day of our entire trip!!! A group of four of us booked a private day trip around Milos with Salty Rides and it was an absolute dream. Michalis picked us up directly from our hotel’s dock on the most beautiful boat first thing in the morning. He was incredibly knowledgeable and helped map out the itinerary for the day ensuring we got to see all noteworthy sites. Despite somewhat windy conditions, all of the rides to and from our various destinations throughout the day were smooth and enjoyable - a testament to his supreme captain skills. The boat itself was absolutely perfect. It had numerous locations for sitting and lounging including both shade protection and sun exposure.The boat also came with a beautiful cabin including a proper bathroom and even espresso machine! The boat was fully stocked with beverages and snacks as well as fun gear such as snorkels, a paddle board, fins etc. A very special touch which our entire group appreciated was the traditional Greek tapas that he provided which his mother (a long time island local) made. His music playlist was sublime and his hospitality really made the entire experience one that we will never forget. We did tremendous amounts of research on private boat tours around Milos including hotel recommendations etc. and we couldn’t be happier with the experience Salty Rides provided. Many of the other companies we explored were outrageously priced and felt very touristy and scheduled. Michalis and his team were the opposite - island locals with a passion and love for the wonders of the Aegean. If you are looking for a memorable, luxurious, comfortable and exciting experience this is the company for you!!

Excellent day with Michalis. He was a great captain and very professional. We had several swimming stops at beautiful locations. He had paddle boards and such to use as well as taking drone photos and videos for us.

Fun and adventure
We had an amazing day out with michael. Such a pleasure. The day was a little windy so the ride had some exciting moments which was fun. He found some beautiful beaches out of the wind. Caves swimming and a glass of wine to top it off. Don’t be afraid if the wind is up. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend the lovely michael and his brother. It was a great adventure

Best day of our vacation
5 out of 5. They are the best team. Took care of my 80 year old parents and entertainment our two kids. Phenomenal food, company and the location is out of this world!

Captain Chris - The Best!
Absolutely amazing! My wife and I were on our honeymoon and we booked Salty Rides on our first day in Milos. Captain Chris met us in Pollonia port and explained the itinerary to us, ensured we were comfortable and we were off to the races! We had such a good time, always cold drinks, private beaches, goat island and a very nice lunch at an Oceanside restaurant in Kimolos. Adrenaline fuelled relaxation. Worth it! We had a blast.

Best part of our trip!
Best part of entire trip to Greece. It’s expensive and worth every penny you spent. Manolis was our captain. He was professional, personable, and shared with us a lot of information around the islands on our tour. He really catered to our group of four. My mother is disabled and he took us to places that would be easier for her. The snacks and drinks were plentiful. The boat itself was their premium boat. Lots of space and storage. Just a wonderful trip!

Incredible experience!!!
An absolutely fantastic experience with Manolis and Salty Rides. We booked the premium boat for a full day tour. Our agenda was flexible and we focused on Poliegos and Kimolos islands having already gone around Milos with Naya Yachting a few days earlier. For this reason, we decided to skip Kleftiko which is at the far south-west end of Milos and a bit further to get to (although this boat would have had no problem getting there!). We must have gone into 9 or 10 anchorages during the day and all of them were fantastic. Great swimming at all of them! We LOVED Blue Bay at Poliegos as the surrounding rock cliffs contrasting against the bright blue water was stunning. We also went into a beautiful and very private bay at the south-west end of Poliegos that is shaped like a heart when viewed from above - incredible! Manolis knew all the best spots and took us to places you would never see on a larger boat charter. The premium boat is terrific and had no problem accommodating the 5 of us. There was plenty of room for more people as well. The fact that the boat has a toilet is also reassuring. Manolis had a great music playlist going all day and provided us with terrific food made by his mother and plenty to drink (wine, beer, mixers, soft drinks, water, fruit juice, etc.). He provided take-home towels and lanyards for our sunglasses. Throughout the day we very much enjoyed his company and he told us all about the islands. Manolis is a terrific person to spend time on the water with. I highly recommend Salty Rides! It is also important in case Manolis’ mother reads this review that I mention he ate all of the food she packed for him during the day….!

Amazing boat tour of Milos!
Stay Salty boat tour of 3 islands was fantastic! We did an all day tour with Chris. He was absolutely phenomenal, keeping us safe, showing us all the most beautiful coves and landscape + sharing incredible knowledge. It was by far our most memorable experience in Milos. Highly recommend if you really want to see Milos and it’s gorgeous surrounding islands! Thank you Chris!

Our favorite day of our honeymoon
We had an absolutely perfect day exploring Milos, Kimolos, and Poliegos with Matthew from Salty Rides. The boat was beautiful, fast, and clean, the snacks were absolutely delicious, and the drinks were excellent. We learned about the islands, the history and explored hidden coves and amazing swimming spots (with snorkel gear, drones, and sea scooter included!). It was our absolute favorite day in our 2.5 week honeymoon and wouldn't hesitate to do it again! Highly recommend.

Dream tour of Milos neighboring islands
The boat was absolutely amazing, new, and in impeccable condition! It was like a 30 foot long spaceship that kept us dry and comfortable but probably could’ve taken us to Athens in minutes :-) captain Mike was extremely genuine and nice and took such good care of our family! He grew up in Milos and knows the islands, caves, beaches and sites like the back of his hand and likes to share. He has all the toys including underwater scooter, inflatable SUP board, snorkeling equipment, drone for kickass pics, and a refrigerated compartment for all the local foods he provided (family garden and recipes…). He took us to the most incredible locations!
