This day cruise was the best day I had in Greece! The crew was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and accommodating during the full day. The food was phenomenal as well. I came on as a solo traveler and left with loads of new friends! The islands were beautiful and the time spent at each felt just right. Jumping off the boat and swimming in the ocean was the best part. They gave us a few face masks to snorkel in and small floaties. The music was great…vibes were great…I couldn’t recommend this enough!!

Beautiful island trip

Karlyn_B, May 2024

Fantastic experience. It was lovely to see such beautiful islands. The whole experience and service from the crew and our tour guide was outstanding. Communication beforehand was great too. Would highly recommend booking this.

Best boat trip

nir_w, May 2024

The crew was great. Also the food and music. The atmosphere was 100%. There was enough time on every island

Great day on the water

Naomi_R, Apr 2024

We enjoyed this trip and the stops on the two inhabited islands. We felt we had time to explore in both. The included lunch was very good with lots of options and the crew was friendly and helpful. We appreciated the included pickup at our hotel in Athens. We took advantage of the swimming stop but being early in the season, the water was quite cold. The sea was a bit rough the day we went, something that did not bother us but was hard on some of the other folks that took the trip.

Great day out

Maureen_L, Apr 2024

Really enjoyed the day, very friendly staff, beautiful food & relaxed vice - highly recommend! It was a little windy but that wasnt a problem, blankets were provided & we still had a comfy journey

A must if you want to kick back and enjoy the sights

Corey_H, Apr 2024

Absolutely amazing trip! The Marisol crew did a fantastic job taking care of us on our trip to the islands. We had ample time to visit each spot and swim/ have lunch. The water the last week of April was a little cold (for obvious reasons lol) but once you're in, you'll love the temperature if it's a warm 20+ degree day. Aegina island was our favorite part, from the shops, the views and the fantastic street food (trust me, you'll want to try their souvlaki!). Overall, we had a blast and it's a great way to break up a trip to Athens where you can just kick back with a drink, a book and relax for almost the whole day.

Relaxing day at sea

Don_W, Apr 2024

It was incredibly relaxing. Our guide did a fantastic job, she was attentive and genuinely is passionate about what she does. If you looked closely you would notice she was doing walk arounds on the boat to make sure everything was working correctly and that everyone was being safe without the feeling of being watched.

A Great Escape

Beverly_O, Apr 2024

The whole tour was wonderful. The crew was friendly and attentive. The views and stops were spectacular. We had such a memorable time.

Good trip to these islands. The services are very good. I had a wonderful time when walking on the beaches.

A trip to remember !

ELZBIETA_K, Apr 2024

I could do it over and over again! The ship was great, food fabulous and very attentive (but not intrusive) crew. If it wasn’t my last day in Athens I would have done it again !

Amazing

Brittany_G, Apr 2024

Weather was rough to and from the island but, everything in between was perfection! The staff was extremely kind and helpful.

A beautiful, memorable experience

Erica_C, Apr 2024

Amazing experience — definitely do this! Great food, great crew, great views. I could've done this again and again. Jumping off the boat into the sea is something I'll never forget!

Very fine experience!...

Shyam_D, Apr 2024

Very fine experience! Good combination of boat time, island time and ocean time. Excellent lunch. Susana, our host, was excellent and very helpful.

Great day trip from Athens

Richelle_H, Nov 2023

Great day trip to visit a few island beaches and go for a swim. The pick up option was very convenient. Lots of good food and drinks provided throughout the day. The board ride was pleasant and comfortable and the crew was very nice.

Charles_A, Oct 2023

Such a fun experience! The crew were amazing and the lunch was fantastic. The most fun experience was the swimming and pistachios

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thank you for your enthusiastic feedback! We're delighted to hear you had such a memorable time with us. The swimming and the taste of local pistachios are indeed special highlights, and we're glad you enjoyed them. We truly appreciate your kind words about our crew and the lunch. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again on another adventure. Safe travels!

Best boat tour ever!!!

Tracey_Y, Oct 2023

From the moment Stacey our guide stepped off the bus to greet me, she had the biggest more welcoming smile on her face. She was so sweet and funny. We got to the boat with the crew waiting for us with coffee, cakes, juice and plenty of water. We set sail to the first island which was small but very charming. We got to spend an hour and half there exploring on our own. Then we got back on the boat to this little spot, where we anchored down and got to jump off the boat and swim in the Mediterranean Sea which was amazing. Once we got back on the boat, they had a beautiful lunch ready for us. We set off to to another island known as the Pistachio Island where we tried the most amazing Pistachio products. Here we had another hour and a half to explore the island. Then back on the boat to return back to Athens. They had plenty of wine, beer, juice and water. This was one of the best tours I've ever done. Would highly recommend. A special thank you again to Stacey, our guide, Captain Yiannis and Takis our deck hand. Who always had a smile on his smile and is the typical Greek charmer.

100% recommend

Ciara_H, Oct 2023

We've done this trip twice now and it's been excellent both times. The crew are very friendly and professional. You get plenty of time to explore and enjoy yourself on the islands and the 'off the boat' swimming is a great experience. Also, if nothing else... The lunch provided is some of the best food I've tasted!

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thank you for choosing us again for your adventure. It's heartening to hear that our crew, the time spent on the islands, and especially the lunch continue to meet your expectations. We look forward to having you onboard for a third time! Safe travels!

Great!

Didi_K, Oct 2023

Had a lot of fun and a relaxing time, the crew was very nice and it was good to be outside of the city for a day! Also it was nice we were picked up and brought back to our Airbnb.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're delighted you enjoyed your day outside the city and found our pickup service convenient. We hope to welcome you aboard again soon! Safe travels!

Well worth the time and money!

Andrew_P, Oct 2023

First, I just want to say that our host, Andie, was excellent. She said she had only been doing this for two seasons, but she was a pro - knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. The tour started with a pickup at our hotel which we found helpful, but is not mandatory. We found it worth the cost. The timing of the tour in mid-October was just about perfect. The boat wasn't completely crowded, so we had room to move, while still plenty of people to talk to and get to know. The weather was also warm enough (around 24C/75F) to enjoy the outer deck and get some sun and comfortably tour the towns, but not feel like we were melting in the heat. The itinerary included a stop in the town of Skala on Agistri, a stop off the uninhabited islet of Metopi for swimming, and a stop in Aegina (town and island) for some tourism. We were offered some snacks (sandwich wraps) on the way to our first stop of Skala. At this time of year, there just isn't much to do in Skala, so we just wandered a bit and went swimming at one of the nearby beaches. Do beware of the sea urchins! This was the least interesting part of the tour, although maybe it's better during the summer season when everything is open and more populated. Swimming off Metopi was so much fun. It wasn't a hot/warm spring, but the water was crystal clear and the perfect temperature. Andie told us the water was about 6m (19-20ft) deep, but you could see the bottom easily. Some of us - myself included - jumped and dove off the upper level of our boat into the water. We were provided pool noodles for flotation, if needed. Really a fun time. This is when we also were provided a lunch of roasted chicken, two types of pasta, and two types of salad. There was also water, sodas, beer, and red/white wine. A great spread. Our final stop was the town of Aegina on the island of the same name. This was a great stop. Andie offered to take us on a tour of town and about 10 of us took her up on it. The others went off on their own. We stopped in town to get some pistachio gelato and sampled some pistachio goods (brittle, cream spread, pesto, etc.), as the island is known for its pistachios. Everything was great. We then walked over to the temple of apollo archaeological site (4 EUR entrance fee) which was interesting and a nice walk. The town itself was still bustling and fairly large, unlike the small and quiet town of Skala. On the way back to Piraeus, we were given a snack of sliced fruit which was nice. It was hot in Aegina, but being back on the boat outside was not at all hot with the wind. Protips - bring sunscreen, definitely need it in the Mediterranean sun! We forgot our towels and it didn't really impact us, but that's another thing to bring. You won't have phone reception out on the water, but totally fine on both islands (I had a local eSIM on Wind). Overall, I would absolutely do this again!

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thank you for the detailed review of your experience with us. We're elated to hear that Andie made such a positive impression and that you appreciated the convenience of the hotel pickup. It's great to know that the mid-October timing and the itinerary met your expectations. We're especially pleased that you enjoyed the swimming off Metopi and your exploration in Aegina. Your tips for future travelers are invaluable. We look forward to having you aboard again and creating even more memories. Safe travels!
