Catamarans Private Tour / Mykonos

A Private Catamaran Cruise in Mykonos: An Authentic and Relaxed Aegean Escape

Imagine floating on a sleek, boho-styled catamaran, the warm Greek sun kissing your skin, and the gentle sound of waves lapping against the hull. For a group of up to 20 people, this private Mykonos catamaran tour offers both morning and sunset options, each with their own charms. Starting from the picturesque Paranga Beach, the $2,258 price tag promises a personalized, intimate experience—whether you’re looking to explore the ancient island of Delos, swim in crystal-clear waters of Rhenia, or just unwind with soft drinks and relaxing tunes.

What we love most about this tour is its flexibility and atmosphere. The morning cruise provides a peaceful, sun-soaked voyage where you can take stunning photos of Delos and enjoy a refreshing swim, while the sunset cruise feels like a boho party on the waves, with Afro-house and downtempo rhythms fueling the joyful atmosphere. The fact that it’s a private experience means you’re not caught in a crowd, giving you space to relax and connect—an authentic way to see the Greek islands.

This tour suits travelers who value privacy, personalized service, and a laid-back vibe—perfect for couples, friends, or small groups wanting an exclusive day on the water.

The cruise includes a sailing tour near Delos, with the possibility of disembarking if you wish—something past travelers have appreciated, as one noted, “It is possible for guests, upon consultation, to disembark on the island of Delos.”

The highlight here is the chance to swim in the crystalline waters of Rhenia, often called the “Paradise of Mykonos.” Many guests have remarked on the refreshing waters and the serene beaches that feel worlds away from the bustling town. Soft drinks and finger foods are provided, allowing you to relax and soak up the sun while listening to gentle music—an experience that feels both luxurious and authentic.

This cruise quite often feels like a peaceful retreat; one reviewer described it as a “special morning cruise” with “relaxing music combined with the Greek sun.” The quiet morning hours let you appreciate the natural beauty and historical sites without the crowds.

The boat stops briefly at Rhenia for a quick dip before the real party starts. Passengers enjoy exquisite dishes, cocktails, and relaxing tunes as they watch the sun dip below the horizon. The views of Delos and Mykonos at sunset are breathtaking, and many travelers describe this part as “the highlight of their summer.”

One guest wrote, “the party begins, and the boho aesthetics create an unforgettable setting.” The energy is palpable, and the combination of stunning scenery, good music, and refreshing drinks makes it one of the most memorable ways to end a day in Mykonos.
