Best attraction in Athens
Our tour started from Glyfada south of Athens centre. We have booked a beautiful Ferretti cruiser that had lots of space for all of us. Everything rolled out fine, they had taken care of everything. We started on time and went to the nearby island of Aegina, stoped at a couple of beautiful beaches with no other access than a boat that we had literally on our own. The kids loved it and enjoyed the clear blue seas and exploring around the caves. We had a lunch at a local seafood restaurant with great food that they recommended and it was quiet and experience. We also visited Moni island on the way and did a quick stop at Aegina harbour. The crew was real professionals, with local knowledge and expertise making everything hassle free. It was our best day of our Greek holiday!

Rather than sticking to rigid schedules or crowded tourist hubs, our professional skipper and crew-host curated a personalized itinerary that adapt to your very own preferences, regarding the real-time weather conditions of the day, rather than sticking to a standard route plan.

An absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish!
From the very first contact and booking process, everything was handled professionally, smoothly, and with great attention to detail. Communication was excellent, and the entire experience was very well organized.
A very special thank you to our guide, Madiyos, and our captain, Theo. They were both incredibly professional, friendly, attentive, and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire trip. Madiyos was especially fantastic — knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely dedicated to making sure we enjoyed every moment. Captain Theo was excellent as well, making the whole journey feel safe, relaxed, and effortless.
The boat, the service, the organization, and most importantly the people made this a truly memorable day and one of the highlights of our trip to Greece.
I would highly recommend this team to anyone looking for a private boat experience in Athens. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Thank you again to the entire team, and especially to Madiyos and Theo, for an unforgettable day!

Wonderful Private Boat Experience!
We had an amazing day with 1852 Private Boat Tours! Manos and Theodore were wonderful hosts—communication was easy, and their hospitality was exceptional. They took care of every detail, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the day.
Manos prepared a delicious mid-day snack and took us to a fantastic, authentic Greek seafood restaurant for lunch. Everything felt personal and thoughtfully planned.
We highly recommend 1852 Private Boat Tours and would absolutely book with Manos and Theodore again!

Not to miss!!
This is our family’s second year booking a full-day private cruise with Mano and his crew, and once again, the experience was exceptional. Last year we explored Aegina and Moni, and this year Mano planned a beautiful day visiting Poros and Hydra. Both trips have truly been highlights of our time in Greece with fantastic swim stops along the way.
From start to finish, every detail is thoughtfully taken care of. Mano arranges private transportation to and from the marina, plans the itinerary in advance, and selects outstanding restaurants for lunch. On board, there is a wonderful selection of delicious snacks and drinks, and everything feels effortless and incredibly well organized.
The boats themselves are pristine, spacious, and beautifully maintained. Our family of six had more than enough room to relax comfortably throughout the day. Towels, snorkeling equipment, and pool noodles are all provided, making it easy to simply arrive and enjoy the experience.
One of the things that sets Mano and his crew apart is how personalized each excursion feels. They are happy to customize the day around exactly what you’re looking for, whether that means exploring different islands, swimming in beautiful coves, or simply relaxing and enjoying the water.
The level of service, attention to detail, and hospitality is truly first-class. We cannot recommend Mano and his crew highly enough and will absolutely book with them again. If you’re looking for an unforgettable private boating experience in Greece around the Saronic Gulf, this is it!

Your positive feedback really gets us going! We love to host families such as yours, and we put all our efforts at your service! Each time we carefully select the proper boat for the right boat tour and we customize it so to be perfect. If needed, we may change the course or the dates, but the outcome has always to be perfect. All our people are working to provide a seamless service, easy booking, non exhaustive communication, but preparing everything carefully in the background. To us, every guest is unique and the tours we provide are a perfect match. We have some excellent destinations around Athens, the islands and the Riviera, but we also know the perfect spots of unbelievable beauty. Regarding the fleet, we keep our boats neat and clean as they deserve, they are very rare to find in Athens, so this contributes to the unique experience. Our captains and hosts are experienced qualified professionals that know very well what they are doing, operating such boats. Every service and amenity we provide on board is carefully prepared, as the tasty snacks and paired wines we offer, a great variety of fresh Greek traditional products that give our guests an original taste of Greece. Our itineraries are endless, we have a lot of amazing destinations yet to explore! We are looking forward to host you again next year!

Many thanks for your appreciation! You nailed the core of what we try to do: while our brand-new powerboats, premium amenities, and iconic routes (from our Glyfada base out to the islands of Aegina, Moni, Poros, Hydra, and beyond) set the stage, it’s authentic hospitality and local expertise that turn a trip into a memory for our guests. Every couple, family, or group that cruise with us deserves a uniquely tailored experience, from the curated food and drinks to the hidden spot selections. Thank you for recognizing both our crew at sea and our back-office team for keeping communication easy and transparent. Attention to detail is everything to us, and we’re delighted we could deliver a perfect day for you! Looking forward to see you again next year!

Thank you so much for your appreciation! It makes us happy and feel honoured to satisfy our guests. All the team is working hard, mostly behind the scenes, to make everything work out perfect. The proper boat, the right destination, all equipment and of course our genuine Greek hospitality. We want you to feel like home, like your Greek friends invited you to their boat, proudly to show you around their beautiful homeland. The clear seas, the wonderful nature, the peaceful and scenic surroundings. And of course the special treatment (the cocktails, made onboard just for you). We want every guest to feel comfortable, and nothing missing. An end to end memorable experience! Hope to see you again!

Luxurious, easy and excellent Greek hospitality
We had an absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. Everything was seamless, punctual, and completely customized to what we wanted. It was just the two of us celebrating a birthday, and the team went above and beyond to make the day special, even helping organize a birthday cake for us.
The captain and his colleague were fantastic. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and shared interesting insights about the Greek islands and their history, but they also knew exactly when to step back and give us privacy. We never felt rushed or overwhelmed—they struck the perfect balance.
One of the highlights was being able to island-hop at our own pace. We stayed as long as we wanted at each stop, swam in beautiful coves, enjoyed an incredible lunch of fresh fish at a local seaside restaurant, and ended the day cruising back as the sun set over the Aegean.
It was truly the perfect day and one of the highlights of our trip to Greece. If you’re looking for a private, personalized experience with exceptional service, I couldn’t recommend this more highly.
