Mykonos: Private Morning or Sunset Catamaran Boat Tour

Discovering Mykonos Afloat: Private Morning or Sunset Catamaran Tour

Imagine starting or ending your day on the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean, aboard a luxurious Lagoon 560 catamaran, with your own crew attending to every detail. This private tour offering from Luxury Yachting Greece is an excellent way to see Mykonos from a unique vantage point. Whether you prefer a morning voyage visiting Delos and Rhenia or a sunset cruise along the coast, you’ll find this experience tailored to your pace and interests. For around 5 hours, the boat becomes your floating haven, with the freedom to customize your stops—be it for swimming, snorkeling, or just soaking up the sun.

What we love most about this experience are the exclusive access to the yacht—meaning no crowded decks or noisy groups—and the chance to enjoy authentic Greek flavors right onboard, with meals prepared fresh for you. The spacious sun decks are perfect for relaxing, while the included water toys and snorkeling gear turn a simple cruise into a playful adventure. The transportation from your hotel makes logistics smooth, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the area or prefer a fuss-free start.

One consideration to keep in mind is that this tour isn’t suitable for travelers with mobility impairments, because of the nature of boat access and onboard movement. Also, while the experience is highly customizable, those who prefer guided tours with in-depth historical commentary might find this more of a leisure activity than a historical exploration.

This cruise suits travelers looking for a luxurious, private outing—perfect for celebrations, romantic escapes, or special family gatherings. If you’re eager for a personalized experience on the water, where you set the pace and pick the sights, this is an excellent choice.
