What To Expect
Your sailing cruise experience starts when you're picked up either from your hotel or a designated meeting point depending on the location of the accommodation by our shuttle transportation to reach the embarkation point or meet us directly at the sailing yacht. One of your cruise representatives greets you and gives you an overview of the cruise itinerary. A short ride follows from the small dock in order to embark the sailing yacht anchored out in Agios Ioannis bay.
Meet your cruise representative and friendly crew, and get a safety briefing before climbing aboard the yacht. If you like, help the skipper raise and trim the sails and get a lesson in steering as you make your way out into the bright blue Aegean, or you can simply soak up the sun on deck.
Drop anchor in an unspoiled bay at the island of Rhenia for a swim and snorkel break off a golden sand beach. When you've had your fill of the water, enjoy a delicious light lunch right on board featuring either Italian pasta with Greek Flavored dressing and Salad, or a local Mediterranean style buffet and fresh local fruits, and a selection of complimentary house wine and soft drinks.
Then, go ashore at Delos, the birthplace of the Apollo according to Greek mythology, for a licensed guided tour of the UNESCO-listed ruins of the ancient Greek trading and pilgrimage city (entrance fee not included). Explore the remnants of temples and marketplaces, see sacred artifacts in the museum, and hike up Mt. Kythnos for spectacular views of the island and surrounding sea.
Climb back aboard the yacht in the late afternoon and start the return voyage to Mykonos, where the full-day tour concludes.
Say goodbye—in Greek style—with a farewell shot drink toast.

What a wonderful way to spend the day.
Captain Babis and first mate Fotis were the perfect hosts and made the trip the best it could be.
A motor out to Delos. Then a tour around Delos island with our brilliant guide. Then back to the boat with a short trip to Rhenia to drop anchor. Lots of time for swimming in the turquoise waters and sunbathing. A delicious lunch with wine. Then a fantastic sail back to Mykonos.
Highly recommend this trip and a must do!

Amazing place and amazing experience. Met some lovely people from all around the world. Silia and Elisa were amazing guides. The food on the boat was so tasty and good. The boat men were also very helpful. Loved the clear blue and green water and the Delos and Reneia islands. Overall it was a good day trip.
History and time in the water
Krupa_T, Oct 2024
This was a cool experience! The yacht was nice and the staff was very attentive to the needs of the whole group. We started with swimming in the clear water and then we had lunch and headed to Delos. Our guide was informative and the tour made sure you were prepared with an extensive list of what to bring and by providing water because it gets hot in the sun over Delos. The guide explained all about the site and helps us envision life in that time. We really enjoyed exploring the ruins! If you like water and history, this is the experience for you!
Wonderful swimming but not really a snorkeling experience
Anonymous, Oct 2024
Beautiful water and fun on the ship. The lunch was good and plentiful. However the guide to the Delos ruins was not fluent enough in English that she needed to be so we missed out on some of the history. She was bubbly and very nice but she needed to practice a little more for the commentary.
Also, the excursion was advertised as snorkeling. Where we went there wasn't anything to see. This excursion should be listed as a swimming and boating excursion so that you are not disappointed when you don't snorkel. Still being on the boat with beautiful water and swimming in Greece you can't complain!
Excellent trip in windy conditions
deanna_h, Oct 2024
Weather was very windy but the crew were great, confident and experienced. Delios was fab as was lunch and the opportunity to swim. Really good day, highly recommend
Well Worth the Experience!
Matthew_H, Sep 2024
We were picked up at our hotel in a very nice Mercedes van. The boat, captain, and crew were excellent. The guired tour of Delos was prefessional and informative. Our guide is also a school teacher and provided excellent background on the importance of Delos as a place of worship and commerce. The food on the boat was delicious and the swim was refreshing.
Enjoyable Experience.
Simon_L, Sep 2024
Good cruise, the crew took good care of us. Food was Pasta served with greek salad, and some fruits with wine. We enjoyed the tour on delos and the quiet time whens anchored in close the Rhenia.
There was some confusion regarding the location of start of the cruise. It’s advertised Viator that it’s close to Olia Hotel, however it was closer to Paralia Agios Ioannis
A good varied trip
Caroline_W, Sep 2024
This was a very good trip well organised. The fact it set off early was a godsend as we had almost finished our very good guided tour before the masses hit the island off the big boats! The lunch was as quite tasty and more than enough plus they were very free and easy with the complementary drinks. Snorkelling was fun and generally chilly on the boat there and back was most pleasant.
History and relaxation in one trip

Celeste_H, Sep 2024
I would recommend this tour. The staff was friendly and organized as well as the tour guide on Delos very informative. It was a fun combination of history and enjoying the beautiful sea waters swimming. Definitely worth the cost!
Amazing
Roisin_H, Sep 2024
The trip was amazing the crew went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and kept us all topped up in drinks and the food was amazing. The scenery was beautiful and the ancient ruins where something else. Our next stop was unreal. There you could swim and we were once again topped up with drinks and food. Would highly recommend this excursion
Nice Day!
Madeline_F, Sep 2024
We had a nice time on the boat ride to and from Delos. The tour guide at Delos did a nice job of explaining the ruins. The lunch prepared by the boat crew was tasty.
Great option to see Delos
Lona_D, Sep 2024
Very nice and great food. We felt everything was timed just right and honestly the price was excellent for an all day excursion.
Fantastic day at sea!
Abraham_L, Sep 2024
Fantastic day out at sea! Delos is very interesting and educational and then paired with Rheneia island and enjoying the water and good vibes is the perfect combination. The included wines are good and the lunch is well rounded and tasty.
A great historic and fun excursion for the family
Hussein_L, Aug 2024
My wife and I with our 2 teenage daughters really enjoyed this excursion as it was a great combination of a guided tour of the historic island including a visit to the museum followed by an enjoyable swim in the blue sea and a nice lunch with wine. Collection was from the hotel and the tour group size was on the small size so their were not too many pick-ups and there was a great atmosphere and some good conversation on the boat.
Would recommend this for families travelling to Mykonos.
Great trip

Great experience. Visited Delis and learned a lot of history. The crew was great. If there was one recommendation it would be to have floats - noodles and snorkel equipment.

Lacey_F, Aug 2024
We had a great time! The crew was very friendly and informative. They took the best care of us the whole day. The food was amazing, but our favorite part was getting to swim in the sea. Would recommend!
Fun and relaxing experience to get away from Mykonos!
Michael_N, Jul 2024
Fun opportunity to get off Mykonos. If you get sea sick easily, take medications before hand or don't do this experience as it's a sail boat that DEFINITELY rides the waves haha. Cool opportunity to explore Delos, a now uninhabited island that seemed to be bustling back in the day, and just relax in the water on a boat. The captain of the boat has a ton of knowledge about sailing and the Greek Islands so it was cool to learn/get his perspective.
Great Day!!!
Kristin_B, Jul 2024
We had a blast! the boat owner was very skilled! Our tour guide was also very knowledgeable. Pick this one!
Amazing day being pampered at sea!
Amie_A, Jul 2024
Phenomenal day with Joanna, Koastas, and our guide Alex! to our delight, our family of 5 were the only patrons on our boat!! All details were executed flawlessly. Let’s start with a tour of Delos.. Alex gave us an amazing tour!! I was delighted by the ear headsets that we were all provided so we could hear the narration in the wind. My three teenage daughters were very engaged and we had a few moments at the museum. The timing was just perfect for a teenage centric outing.. Next stop, short cruise to a very calm and pristine bay, where the gorgeous turquoise water awaited our snorkeling and swimming stop. I have not heard my daughters laugh so much on the vacation. It was amazing. After our time in the water, we were treated to an amazing, tasty, lunch! We were literally dining privately on the deck of the yacht. Everything we needed was well addressed. We were able to enjoy some amazing time, relaxing followed by a pretty exciting ride home in the waves! All of the facilities were extremely comfortable, including the head and a private place to change clothing. My teenage daughters also appreciated the fact that there were places to sunbathe on the hull of the boat, while my husband and I enjoyed hanging out in the lounge area under the shade. There really is something for everyone. Definitely our vacation highlight would highly recommend!!! One tip, book earlier in your vacation as ours did have to get canceled the first day due to high winds, but we were able to get our trip booked two days later with no issue. Extremely efficient and professional service.
A Relaxing and Informative Day
Andrew_M, Jul 2024
What a delightful day. These folks have their act together. The pickup, embarkation and disembarkation, the meal, the snorkeling were all a delight.
Our captain, Capt Stelios, and first mate, Spyros provided a relaxing atmosphere from the music chosen, to the lunch of Greek salad and penne pasta. Desert was fresh cut fruit.
Our guide's name on Delos was Alexis. The man knew his stuff. The only advice I would give him would be to put the microphone closer to his mouth so the sound is more consistent as you're trying to listen to him.
We were paired with a nice group of people on our tour. But one thing I noticed was the dearth of tips given to our guide. This man did a good job and should have been given a couple of euros.
I highly recommend this company and this your.
