Milos:Rent a Luxury RIB Boat (Speedboat license is required)

Experience the Freedom of a Luxury RIB Boat in Milos

Imagine being the captain of your own adventure, slicing through crystal-clear waters aboard a luxury RIB boat for a full 10 hours. For about $903 per group (up to 7 people), you get the chance to explore Milos and its neighboring Cycladic islands like Paros, Sifnos, and Mykonos. This experience is ideal for confident boaters with a speedboat license, offering a mix of independence and adventure.

What we love most is the freedom to create your own itinerary—you’re not tied to a tour schedule, so you can spend as much time as you like at your favorite spots. Plus, the powerful boat, equipped with a 100hp Yamaha engine, can reach speeds up to 42 knots, making island hopping swift and fun. The onboard GPS ensures you won’t get lost, and the bluetoothed stereo adds a relaxed vibe during your day.

A minor consideration is that this experience is not suitable for wheelchair users, owing to the nature of boat handling and the rental setup. Also, you’ll need to bring your passport or ID and a speedboat license to rent, which could be a hurdle if you haven’t already got those documents or credentials.

This tour is perfect for independent travelers, seasoned boaters, and groups seeking a personalized adventure. If you love the idea of discovering hidden beaches and secluded spots, and enjoy the flexibility of setting your own pace, this is a fantastic way to see Milos and beyond.

The Practicalities of a 10-Hour Day

Speed and Comfort Combined

The Yamaha 100hp engine delivers both power and speed, enabling swift crossings between islands. The boat’s spacious design and amenities like Bluetooth stereo make the experience comfortable and fun.
