Spiros was the best captain we could have asked for. He gave special attention to our little ones (ages 5 and 7) and made sure our older generation (65+) all feel comfortable while on the boat. He let us reschedule to the next day because of Cycladic winds and we were nervous kids would get seasick. The boat itself was in amazing condition, we selected premium option and felt like we had a lot of space for 8 people. The food he gave us was also great (spinach and cheese pies) with so many beverages to choose.
Did multiple boat tours around the Greek islands and Milos was the most impressive! So much to see - blue waters, caves, volcanic rock, snorkeling, abandoned villages, etc. This boat day is a MUST SEE if you're on the fence about it!

Don’t miss this bucket list experience!
We had an amazing day on the water with our guide Manolis. The timing of our trip had to be adjusted due to upcoming windy weather and they did everything possible to accommodate us and make it work. We went out at 2 PM and got back to the pier at 9 PM, watching the sunset before heading in for the day. Our two boys 15 years old and 13 years old had an amazing time snorkeling and using the sea scooter. Manolis took us to all the coolest beaches and timed it so crowds were minimal. It was a bucket list experience for sure. I highly highly recommend. Thank you Salty Rides!

A “salty” way to fall in love with Milos!
This has been our favorite activity while in Greece by far! What a beautiful place with unspoiled terrain and crystal blue waters. The boat we were on was brand new! As its maiden voyage, we were taken completely around Milos stopping at many points of interests and given ample time to swim. The captain (one of the owners) was very knowledgeable about Milos as he was born here and came back to start this business after going to another country for university. He shared stores and answered our questions throughout our excursion. I would highly recommend this tour. It is well with the cost and it will make you fall in love with this special place!

Amazing Private Boat Tour in Milos!!
Amazing experience with Captain Matt! He was so knowledgable about all the spots we went to and truly was the best boat captain we had on our entire trip! He knew the best times to go to each place so we were always ahead of the larger crowds! Also his service was incredible, it was a great day! He also was able to pick us up and drop us off right at our hotel dock which was super convenient and made the day that much better.

Wow! What an unforgettable day with Salty Rides.
Our family of 9 from Chicago had an absolutely epic experience out at sea thanks to our incredible captain and guide, Manolis. My only regret? That we didn’t have more time!
The Luxury Day Cruiser was the perfect vessel for our group, offering both comfort and style. Manolis’ deep knowledge of the area and steady hand at the helm made us feel safe, relaxed, and completely immersed in the beauty around us.
From exploring hidden caves to lounging on secluded beaches, every stop was breathtaking. There’s simply no better way to experience the Aegean than with Manolis and his brother Michalis.
If you're on the fence about booking a boat trip—don’t be. Go for it! You won’t regret it. Salty Rides delivers an experience that creates family memories to last a lifetime.

Terrific Boat Trip with Salty Rides!
What a terrific half day trip with Manolis as our captain. Manolis (sp?) was very friendly, explained the history of the island and took excellent care of my family and me. He took us to out of the way spots, which were all amazing. And the snacks and drinks were very much appreciated! And the boat (Triton) was absolutely first-rate.
While not inexpensive, this tour was worth every penny, and I would definitely do it again.

An Incredible Experience!
My wife and I booked the half-day private Kleftiko boat tour as a part of our Milos honeymoon adventure and it was the highlight of our trip! We had originally booked our trip for our second day in Milos but a few days before, we were contacted with a proposal to move our reservation up one day to avoid high winds and improve our experience - which was super thoughtful. We are so glad that we agreed to change our date because this was the best way to kickoff our honeymoon.
Our captain, Mike, was so kind, knowledgeable, and personable. Being a local himself and growing up on the island allowed him to offer us so much information on our surroundings (nature and the like) and give a unique perspective on restaurants to try, beach recommendations, and everything Milos. He was so willing to provide any knowledge he could offer despite my rapid-fire, constant questions (sorry Mike).
The trip itself felt so catered to us. We were shown all of the little hidden gems, coves, and beautiful beaches only accessible by boat and were given the power to choose whether we wanted to stay longer at one place over another. While that option was an amazing perk, we opted to go with Mike's recommendations on how long to stay at each place - we figured he would know best!
The boat itself was a beauty and was equipped with many amenities: mini fridge to hold our complimentary drinks and local food, toilet, plenty of sitting/lounging space, and all the bells and whistles.
On our second to last stop of our trip, Mike broke out the snorkeling equipment, scuba scooter, and paddleboard for us, which made the experience even more fun. He even captured some amazing photos/videos with his drone to commemorate the trip!
In short, we were so incredibly glad we booked this trip and would absolutely do it all over again!

Best part of our entire trip!
Best part of our entire trip!
We had an amazing experience with Salty Rides! The boat is incredible, and our captain, Manolis, was truly amazing - a local from Milos, very friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. He provided a truly exceptional service throughout the entirety of the ride. He would stop to talk and gave us great recommendations when we asked about local spots/experiences/restaurants from an authentic viewpoint.
The onboard snacks were sooo good, and, not to mention homemade by his mom. All of the stops were breathtaking and the background on each equally as fascinating. Last, but certainly not least, the highlight of the excursion was the water toys provided. We utilized the SUP, snorkeling gear and my personal favorite the sea scooter. We forgot our underwater phone case but Manolis saved the day with an underwater GoPro and drone footage.
Do not make the mistake of passing on this experience. It’s worth every penny and I highly recommend Salty Rides to anyone seeking an unforgettable adventure on Milos.
