Imagine cruising the South Aegean on a sleek, modern speedboat, visiting some of Greece’s most stunning hidden spots. This private Paros and Antiparos tour offers a flexible itinerary, guiding you through crystal-clear waters and secluded beaches that are unreachable by land. For up to $734 per group—covering up to 8 people—you get a personalized experience that can last between 2 and 7 hours, depending on your preferences. With a new Saxdor 320 boat, equipped for both sport and comfort, your day on the water promises to be both luxurious and fun.
What we especially like about this experience is the freedom it offers. First, the customizable route means you can focus on swimming, sightseeing, or simply relaxing in privacy. Second, the skipper’s local knowledge and friendly demeanor help you discover some of the most beautiful spots around Paros, Antiparos, and even further afield if you wish to extend your trip to nearby islands like Mykonos or Milos.
A potential consideration is the weather. Since Greece’s summer storms can pop up unexpectedly, the tour might be rescheduled or canceled for safety reasons. You’ll want to keep an eye on the forecast, especially if you’re traveling during the shoulder seasons.
This tour is ideal if you’re looking for a private, tailored day at sea—perfect for couples, families, or groups of friends who value exclusivity and personalized service. It’s especially suited for those who appreciate a calm, intimate experience rather than crowded beaches or crowded boat trips. Based on reviews, it’s a hit with travelers who want to see Greece’s best without the hustle.

The Itinerary in Detail
The tour starts at The Sailor’s Ride, a convenient meeting point at the port of Aliki, right in front of a local restaurant. From there, your skipper—who, as reviews suggest, is both friendly and knowledgeable—will guide you through a series of stops based on your preferences. The itinerary includes some of the most beautiful and lesser-known spots around Paros and Antiparos.
Stop 1: Blue Lagoon – One of the most iconic sights in the area, the Blue Lagoon’s clear waters beckon for a swim. You can expect around an hour here to splash, snorkel, or just soak in the scenery. The vibrant blue hues are truly mesmerizing and a favorite among travelers.
Stop 2: Faneromeni Beach – Another swimming stop, this secluded beach provides a quiet escape. The calm waters and soft sands make it a perfect spot to relax away from the crowds—something you’ll value if you crave tranquility.
Stop 3: The Cave – Known for its unique geological features, this spot offers both sightseeing and swimming. Your guide will help you appreciate the natural beauty, and you might even explore some small caves or rocky formations.
Additional Stops – Depending on your interests, your guide can add more swimming or sightseeing as you wish. The boat’s flexible design means no rush—just pure freedom.
End of the trip: The boat returns to the starting point, completing a loop of serene beauty and personalized adventure.
Why This Tour Stands Out
The new Saxdor 320 boat is a highlight itself. With sleek lines, luxurious touches, and high-performance engines, it’s built to impress both in looks and capability. The extended sunpad on the foredeck invites you to lounge under the Greek sun, while the dinette with a lunch table, sink, and fridge makes on-board dining a pleasure. The sound system keeps the vibe lively, and the interior’s double bed and fully equipped toilet add a level of comfort that’s rare on smaller boats.
The skipper’s local expertise is also a big plus. As one reviewer noted, the guide was “fantastic,” able to steer them toward the best spots based on their interests and the day’s weather. They also appreciated the privacy—no crowded beaches, just your group and your personalized route.
The Value of a Private Tour
While $734 sounds like a significant spend, it covers a full day of exclusive access to Greece’s waters. Given the small group size—up to 8 people—you get an intimate experience that larger, more public tours can’t match. Plus, the ability to tailor your day means you’re not stuck with a preset itinerary or other groups blocking your view or swimming spot.

The main thing to keep in mind is weather dependence. If storms or high winds occur, the trip can be rescheduled or canceled, with a full refund. This flexibility offers peace of mind but also means you should plan for a backup date if your trip coincides with adverse weather.
Plus, the tour isn’t suitable for pregnant women or non-swimmers. It’s a boat-focused experience, after all, and safety is paramount.
Who Should Book This Tour?
If you’re seeking privacy and flexibility, this boat trip is a fantastic choice. It’s perfect for couples wanting a romantic day at sea, families with kids comfortable swimming, or friends looking for a fun, exclusive adventure. The focus on personalized service makes it ideal for anyone eager to explore at their own pace without the crowds.
This experience is especially valuable if you appreciate authentic, scenic beauty over busy tourist spots. Travelers who loved the friendly guidance and gorgeous stops reported in reviews will find this tour a highlight of their Greek island experience.
Final Thoughts: Is it Worth It?
For the price, you’re paying for luxury, privacy, and customization. The boat itself is a highlight, offering both style and comfort. The guided stops ensure you see Greece’s most beautiful, less crowded beaches and coves—a true escape from typical tourist spots. The flexible itinerary allows you to craft your perfect day at sea, whether that means more swimming, sightseeing, or simply relaxing.
This tour offers excellent value if you’re after a personalized, high-quality boat trip with a knowledgeable skipper, especially if you’re traveling with a small group. It’s a chance to see Greece from a perspective few get to enjoy—quiet, beautiful, and entirely tailored to you.
