Paros Semiprivat Heldagssegelkryssning

Great beaches, great company, great weather! Crew was awesome. Had some slight wind but other than that no complaints!

We were a bit tired at the time we went on the cruise. And I was a little afraid that it would be a bit too party-like for us. I was looking for something low-key. But then we got on board and all was great! Capt Costas and the first mate (Yiannis?) made us all feel like we were at home. There was a couple on the boat with our family - they were great too and were on their honeymoon. We had a good group that had a good vibe and were quite comfortable the whole time. Now sailing wise it was quite windy - they only had to put the jib up while we were sailing - but we all had a great time. Oh and Capt Costas and Yiannis(?) were great cooks too, for our snack and lunch!

+1

The sailing can become a bit rollercoastery, so definitely take something for nausea before if you become seasick easily. The swim stops were beautiful. Lunch was tasty but there could've been more food- there were three teenage boys on our tour and they were definitely still starving after lunch.

It was a nice day, however it was listed as a Paros cruise yet we sailed for 2 hours on choppy water to Naxos. We were sat under the cover for 2 hours and weren’t offered a drink/snack until we stopped which was quite long winded! The staff were also quite abrupt and not willing to help, I had to ask for snorkelling gear! I would’ve expected a bit more consideration for £322

This trip was okay. A bit awkward at times and didn’t have much space to sit/lay on the boat. Very low music playing and had to ask awkwardly for drinks. The crew was a bit quiet so didn’t really know what we were looking at & just docked far away from places to “jump in” a few times. Food was good.

If you’re looking for a memorable thing to do on Paros, I highly recommend this trip! We had a group of 5, and we absolutely had a BLAST! The experience on the water was so memorable, and the crew was absolutely amazing. It felt like hanging out with old friends while spending the day at sea. We are so grateful for the memories made. 10/10!! - Sarah

We had an amazing day on the boat! Beautiful swimming spots, incredible views, and very hospitable captains. Would definitely recommend!

2 weeks ago we spent a full day on the “Istion”. We were a family of 5 and there was another family of 5 on the yacht that day as well around the same ages which was nice. We enjoyed the day out. The trip left on time and returned on time as well. We were able to swim in some really lovely areas and managed to swim into a cave, and also jump off the rocks. Snorkelling gear was supplied along with “noodles” for those of us not wanting to tread water for too long and to just float and relax in the ocean. A highlight was when the captain shut the engine down and raised the sails and let the wind drive the yacht all the way from Naxos to Paros. It was beautiful. We would recommend this tour and would happily go again when next in Paros.

Great experience! I went solo and had a blast. They had local wine to share with some snacks. Lunch was great also! Snorkeling was fun and we went back into a cave which was cool too. The water is just so pristine and clear! We even had dolphins swimming along the boat with us. It was an all-day tour but it went by so fast! Loved every minute of it!

okay so as a summary there are two things that make or break this experience: your group and your captain & crew; be aware you are getting what you pay for meaning not a luxury experience. Our group was fine, it will 100% shift the vibe if the group is more party or more child to be expectedl. Our crew was a bit stern, and didn't really engage with us at all, the first time we experienced this in Greece. The boat was lovely and clean but our sailing day consisted of 1) drop anchor, 2) stop off at random places without warning to swim -- sometimes there was a beach sometimes nothing, 3) repeat. They did not point out anything to see or do, just stop okay go swim, get back on, dry off a bit, jump off, swim, again. They also had no flippers and only some masks, a few that weren't in the best condition. We also did not stop at at WWII-era wreck and the crew had no idea what i was referring to when I asked about it. We did not stop at any good snorkeling spots, just random swim stops as mentioned without good places to climb up on rocks to jump either. The food really wasn't great, premade pesto pasta and some greek salad but there wasn't quite enough salad for the whole group. Snacks were just dips and some breadsticks but no fresh food. They were nice about accommodating allergies for members of the party which was well appreciated. overall just an average experience but nothing super negative to report
