Private boat cruise to South coastline of Mykonos

Imagine gently cruising along the sun-drenched south coast of Mykonos in your own private boat, with the wind in your hair and the sparkling turquoise waters stretching endlessly around you. For around $847 per group, up to nine of you can enjoy a three-hour adventure that combines sightseeing, swimming, and a touch of luxury. Your captain, often a multilingual local, will take you past the island’s famed beaches—Psarou, Platis Gialos, and Super Paradise, among others—showcasing perspectives most visitors miss.

What we love most about this experience is the freedom to explore the beaches at your own pace, plus the chance to relax or party in complete privacy. The boat is stocked with fresh fruit, snacks, and beverages, making it feel more like a floating oasis. And if you’re into snorkeling, the included equipment opens up a whole new world beneath the waves.

A possible snag? Since the cruise is weather-dependent, poor weather could mean rescheduling—so keep an eye on the forecast. This tour is ideal for those seeking a luxurious, personalized way to see and enjoy some of the most exclusive parts of Mykonos’ coast, especially if you’re traveling with a small group or family looking for a memorable day on the water.

The Experience in Detail

The private boat cruise begins at a dock in Mykonos, where you’ll meet your captain, dressed in the company’s uniform, about 15 minutes before your scheduled start. The boat itself is a comfortable vessel designed for small groups, balancing style and functionality. With a capacity of up to nine people, it offers a cozy yet private setting that’s perfect for families, friends, or couples seeking a more personal tour.

What You Can Expect From the Itinerary

Once aboard, the captain will set sail along the famous south coastline, which is renowned for its stunning beaches and vibrant beach clubs. The famous beaches such as Psarou and Super Paradise will be highlighted for their glamorous reputation and celebrity sightings—though on a boat, you get to see them from afar in a more secluded setting. Travel times between stops are short, giving you plenty of time to relax, take photos, or chat with your companions.

One of the most appealing aspects is the freedom to choose where to stop and swim. Swimming in crystal-clear waters at beaches like Kalo Livadi or Elia is often a highlight, with the snorkeling gear providing a chance to explore underwater. Many reviews mention that the views are simply stunning, with picturesque coastlines and rocky outcroppings providing excellent photo ops.

Onboard Comforts and Inclusions

The boat comes stocked with refreshing beverages—think cold water, soft drinks, and perhaps a chilled glass of wine or local beer for those inclined. You’ll also get fresh fruit and light snacks to keep your energy up during the cruise. Towels are provided, so no need to pack your own, and Wi-Fi ensures you can share your photos or stay connected if needed.

Snorkeling equipment is included, which adds a layer of adventure to your trip—just slip on a mask and fins and see what lies beneath. The multilingual captain ensures smooth communication and provides insight about the scenery and beaches you’re passing.

The Value of This Tour

While the price might seem steep for three hours, consider the value of privacy, exclusivity, and the personalized experience. Unlike crowded tours, your group has the deck to yourselves and the flexibility to focus on what interests you most—whether that’s lounging, swimming, or just soaking in the views.

The tour covers fuels, taxes, and all the essentials, so there are no hidden costs. However, you will need to arrange your own transportation to and from the dock, as hotel pickups are not included.

Why It Stands Out

Travellers consistently praise this cruise for its beautiful views and the chance to swim in pristine waters. One reviewer fondly noted, “We loved the way we could stop whenever we wanted and jump into the water from the boat.” Another mentioned the excellent selection of drinks and snacks as a treat—making it feel like a floating luxury lounge.

The ability to customize your day makes this experience flexible and memorable, offering more than just a standard tour. The small group size also means fewer crowds and more intimate moments, which many travelers cherish.
