“Costas and Joanna were amazing, we loved every detail of our cruise. They took time to tell us the story behind each stop, made sure we had plenty of drinks, and provided us with the most amazing meal cooked right there. I couldn't recommend Sailing Athens enough, they were super accommodating with a last minute issue with our plans and made sure we could do the cruise the next day, which ended up being even better, because the weather was amazing! We fell in love with Greece, and this cruise, Costas and Joanna were certainly part of it. Can't recommend enough!”

Review of Athens’ private luxury catamaran cruise, with swimming stops, Greek BBQ, open bar, hotel transfers, pricing, tips, and honest drawbacks.
“We booked this boat trip expecting a luxury experience, especially at €300 per person, but unfortunately it didn’t meet our expectations. The crew were lovely and welcoming, which we appreciated, but several aspects were disappointing. The wine was served from a plastic bottle and so poor in taste it was only drinkable when diluted with water or Sprite. No snacks were provided during the trip, and the “scenic views” amounted mainly to the coastline, before we ended up swimming right outside the hotel we were staying at — not exactly the adventure we had in mind. The food was acceptable, but certainly not what you’d describe as luxury. Overall, while…”

It was really dreamy and we were so happy to do this tour even though we booked it very last minute. The communication was great and helpful pre-tour as well. Also we thank the company so much for meeting us in the city center of Athens to return my son's brand new hat (it was his souvenir). It was beyond and above services that we are grateful for!…”

Captain Nick was fantastic—skilled, informative, and guided us to beautiful swim spots while sharing great local insights. And diving off the boat was a definite highlight! Ada, our hostess, was incredibly warm and served a delicious lunch, always making sure we had a drink in hand to enjoy the views. Truly the best crew—highly recommend this unforgettable experience!”
