Exploring Mykonos by Sea: A Practical Guide

When we first picture Mykonos, the iconic windmills, lively town, and vibrant nightlife come to mind. But the real magic happens when you see the island from its periphery. That’s where this private RIB cruise comes in—a sleek, fast boat that offers a different lens on the island’s natural beauty.

You’ll start by arranging your preferred pick-up point from any of the south beaches, making it easy to hop from your hotel or villa. Once on board, the skipper—a licensed captain—guides you through your customized route. Whether you want to explore the south coast’s famous beaches or venture further to Delos or Rhenia, the boat’s agility means you can visit those spots that most travelers never see from the land.

The Experience: What You Can Expect

The boat itself is state-of-the-art and designed for comfort and speed, giving you the thrill of zipping along the coast while enjoying panoramic sea views. The itinerary is entirely up to you; you could spend the morning sunbathing on the boat, stopping for a swim at a hidden cove, or exploring archaeological sites if you choose to visit Delos.

Swim stops are a highlight, especially for those who love cooling off in crystal-clear water away from crowded beaches. The guide will help identify the best spots for swimming or relaxing on the boat, depending on your mood. A couple of travelers have mentioned that the quiet beaches you visit are remarkably secluded, making it feel like you have your own private paradise.

What Makes It Special

One aspect we particularly appreciate is the ability to tailor the route. If you’re interested in the south coast cruise, you’ll get breathtaking views of the island’s famous beaches, with plenty of opportunities for photos and lounging. For history buffs, visiting Delos and Rhenia provides an opportunity to see archaeological ruins and enjoy pristine landscapes, all from an intimate boat setting.

The price is reasonable considering the exclusivity, especially when you consider the private nature of the experience, water, soft drinks, snacks, and beach towels included. It’s a good value for those looking to combine comfort, adventure, and personalization.

Authentic Experiences and Real Reviews

Many travelers have commented on how easy and flexible the process is. One noted, “We loved the way we could decide our own stops and the boat was perfect for just our group.” Others appreciated the professionalism of the crew, who made safety and comfort a priority.

A common theme is the peace and tranquility — being away from the crowds and having your own slice of the sea. The privacy makes it perfect for romantic getaways, small family celebrations, or just a quiet day with friends.

Logistics and Practical Tips

Since pick-up is from the beach, you’ll need to reach your designated spot on your own—so plan accordingly. The duration you choose will influence how many beaches or sites you can visit, so consider your energy level and interests. The 7-hour option is best if you want to explore more distant spots like Rhenia or do a full circumnavigation of the island.

Regarding what to bring, pack your swimwear, sunscreen, and perhaps a hat or sunglasses for sun protection. Remember, the boat is private, so you’ll have beach towels and snacks provided, but bringing extra water or personal items is always a good idea.

Who Will Love This Tour?

This private RIB cruise is ideal for those who value flexibility and intimacy. If you’re traveling with a small group and want to avoid crowded tours, this offers a relaxed, customized experience. It’s perfect for romantic couples seeking privacy, adventurous friends eager to explore the coast, or small families wanting a fun, private day on the water.

However, it’s not suitable for pregnant women or those with mobility issues, given the nature of boat transfers and swimming stops. It’s also best for travelers comfortable with small-group boat trips and quick-moving waters.
