An Authentic Day in the Aegean: Private Catamaran from Mykonos to Delos & Rhenia

Imagine gliding across the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean aboard a sleek, spacious catamaran. The gentle breeze cools your skin as you leave the lively harbors of Mykonos behind, heading toward some of the most scenic and historically significant islands nearby. This private cruise offers an intimate way to experience the Greek islands, combining natural beauty, tranquility, and a touch of history.

What Makes This Tour Special?

The tour’s main draw is the combination of a private, customizable sailing experience with the charm of visiting two distinct islands. The itinerary, carefully designed by an experienced crew, balances sightseeing with leisure: you’ll stop at Rhenia Island for swimming and relaxing, while passing by the iconic Delos Island, known for its archaeological significance.

Two details stand out as favorites among travelers. First, the quality of the hospitality onboard — from a delicious, freshly prepared Greek meal to unlimited wine and drinks, the crew ensures everyone feels pampered. Second, the flexibility of activities — paddleboards and snorkeling gear are available so you can choose how to spend your time in the water.

A Possible Consideration

Since the cruise lasts about five hours, it’s good to plan for that duration. If you’re expecting a very relaxed pace or are looking for a full-day adventure, this might be more of a half-day escape. Also, the tour excludes visits to Delos Island’s archaeological sites unless you opt for an add-on, so history buffs should prepare for a quick look from the deck unless they add a guided tour.

Who Is This Tour Best For?

This cruise suits travelers who enjoy small-group experiences in a luxurious setting. It’s perfect for those who want to combine sightseeing with leisure — swimming, sunbathing, and sipping wine — all in a serene environment. Families with children, couples, or friends seeking a special day out will appreciate the personalized service and beautiful scenery.
