Mykonos: Day Boho Experience Catamaran Cruise — a detailed review
Imagine starting your day with the wind in your hair, the sun warming your face, and the sparkling Aegean Sea stretching out before you. For around $203 per person, you can spend about five hours on a relaxed, stylish catamaran cruise departing from Paraga Beach. This experience takes you to Delos, the legendary island of myth and history, and Rhenia, known for its crystal-clear waters and peaceful beaches. It’s a mix of sightseeing, swimming, and chilled-out music, all wrapped in a boho-chic vibe that feels both luxe and laid-back.
What we love most about this tour is how it balances spectacular scenery with authentic leisure. The chance to capture photos of Delos’ ancient ruins is a highlight—something that makes even casual photographers feel like pros. Plus, the swimming in Rhenia’s clean, inviting waters provides a refreshing break from sightseeing. The live DJ sets and delicious buffet add a lively, fun atmosphere that makes the morning cruise genuinely memorable.
One thing to consider is that the weather can influence the itinerary. If it’s too windy, the captain might switch plans from visiting Delos to exploring the south beaches of Mykonos—which are still beautiful but different from the original plan. This flexibility is sensible but worth noting if your heart is set on certain stops.
This tour suits travelers who appreciate a relaxed pace, good music, and scenic beauty. It’s ideal for those looking to combine sightseeing with leisure and enjoy some authentic Greek sun and sea without the hassle of planning every detail. If you’re after a fun, stylish way to see part of Mykonos and its nearby islands, this cruise could be a perfect fit.

A closer look at what makes this cruise special
Starting early at Paraga Beach, the tour sets a relaxing tone with a stylish catamaran decked out in boho décor. As the boat slips into the water, you’ll enjoy sailing near Delos, which is famous for its archaeological remains and mythological significance. Though the boat doesn’t stay long, you’ll get plenty of chances to snap photos of the ancient ruins and learn a snippet of history from the crew, if they provide commentary.
The highlight for many is the swimming stop at Rhenia. Known for its unspoiled beaches and clear waters, it’s a perfect place to relax, snorkel, or just float in the warm sea. The music by DJs—a mix of afro-house and downtempo beats—creates a lively yet relaxed environment. Several travelers mention how the soft drinks and finger foods are a welcome touch, adding a casual, tapas-style element to the experience.
The disembarkation on Delos offers an opportunity to walk among the ruins—an optional extra that requires some planning with the crew. Given its historic importance, it’s a chance to combine leisure with a quick cultural fix. Reviews indicate that if weather conditions aren’t favorable, the tour adjusts to include more time exploring the south beaches of Mykonos, which still provides stunning views and a peaceful retreat.
The music and food are two standout features. Many visitors appreciate the careful selection of food and the lively DJs, which elevate the cruise from a simple boat trip to a party on the water. The boho theme is more than just aesthetics; it’s about feeling free, chic, and connected to the relaxed Greek lifestyle.
