Private 5-Hour Cruise on Brand-New 2023 Motor Yacht in Mykonos (Voreus)

Mykonos looks best from the water. This private cruise combines famous south-coast beaches, a modern 2023 motor yacht, swimming time, and hotel or port pickup into one easy half-day. I especially like the private setting for up to four people and the chance to see both party beaches and quieter coves without changing hotels or hauling beach gear around. The main point to consider is the extra fuel charge, which is not included in the advertised group price.

I also like that you get more than a sightseeing ride. At Super Paradise, you can swim and use the supplied snorkeling equipment or SUP, then spend up to two hours near Elia Beach with fruit, savory snacks, wine, beer, water, and soft drinks. The boat has towels, WiFi, a bathroom, and a deck shower. This is a polished outing, but the food is a snack spread, not lunch.

A crew member named Stelio receives specific praise for being friendly, polite, and well informed about the area. The experience has a five-star rating from 20 ratings, with 100 percent recommending it. Still, remember that boarding and returning to shore happen by tender boat, and the cruise depends on good weather.

Key points to know before booking

• The cruise is private for up to four people, so you are not sharing the boat with a large group.
• The advertised price is $1,020.20 per group, with an additional fuel charge of €200 for the southern coast route.
• Pickup and return are included from a Mykonos hotel, villa, airport, New Port, or Old Port.
• Super Paradise is the main active stop, with time for swimming, snorkeling, and SUP use if weather allows.
• Elia receives the longest stop, with two hours for swimming, relaxing, and enjoying Mediterranean snacks and drinks.
• Tender-boat boarding matters, especially if you prefer direct dock access or have mobility concerns.

A private boat day from Agia Anna

The meeting point is at Agia Anna Beach near Paraga Studios. Pickup is also offered from your hotel, villa, airport, or either Mykonos port, with return included at the end.

That pickup service can save you a surprising amount of effort. Mykonos roads and beach access can be awkward in high season, and a private transfer means you do not need to arrange a taxi for the start and finish. If you are arriving by ferry, confirm the correct port and pickup timing when booking.

The boat departs for a route along the southern coast. This is the island’s famous beach belt, where glamorous beach clubs sit beside rocky hills and clear bays. The cruise gives you a look at Mykonos without committing your entire day to one beach.

The boat is a brand-new 2023 motor yacht, according to the supplied details. You can expect a more comfortable setting than a basic excursion boat, with an indoor bathroom and shower, a deck shower, WiFi, towels, and space to sit outside. The exact seating layout and cabin size are not provided, so I would not book this expecting a large yacht interior. The value is mainly in the private deck, easy route, and personal use of the boat.

Boarding and disembarkation take place by tender boat. That means a smaller boat carries you between shore and the yacht. You should be comfortable stepping into a tender and transferring between boats. This detail may matter more than the yacht’s newness if anyone in your group has mobility limitations.

Psarou: Mykonos at its most polished

The first scheduled stop is Psarou Beach, with about 20 minutes to view the bay from the water. Psarou is the island’s most cosmopolitan beach, known for large yachts and high-end beach clubs.

The appeal here is visual. From the yacht, you can take in the packed anchorage and the polished feel of the coast without paying for a beach club bed or fighting for a place on the sand. It is a good opening scene because it quickly shows you the side of Mykonos associated with luxury tourism.

The tradeoff is that this is a passing view, not a beach visit. You do not get a stated swim stop or shore time at Psarou. Bring your camera, enjoy the boats, and treat this as a short scenic introduction.

Paraga and Scorpios from the sea

The cruise continues past Paraga Beach for about 20 minutes. The shoreline here has a more relaxed, bohemian feel, although the famous Scorpios and SantAnna clubs give the bay plenty of style and energy.

Seeing these places from offshore is useful if you are curious about Mykonos beach-club culture but do not want to spend your day inside one. You can look at the shore, compare the different bays, and decide which areas deserve a return visit.

Again, this is a viewing stop rather than a shore excursion. The boat does not include admission to the beach clubs, and the itinerary does not promise a landing at Paraga. That keeps the cruise simple, but it also means you should not book it as a way to visit Scorpios or SantAnna directly.

Paradise Beach keeps the schedule lively

At Paradise Beach, the boat spends about 30 minutes taking in one of Mykonos’s best-known party beaches. The shoreline is famous for its music, beach bars, and social scene.

From a private deck, you get a different perspective. You can photograph the bay and watch the activity from a little distance, without committing to the noise or crowds on land. If you want a taste of the party side of Mykonos but prefer a calm seat and a cold drink, this stop does the job.

It is worth setting expectations correctly. The schedule describes a scenic stop, not a party-club visit. You will not be heading ashore for dancing or drinks at the beach clubs as part of the included program.

Super Paradise is the best place to get in the water

Super Paradise receives about 45 minutes and is the most active stop before the longer Elia visit. Here you can swim in the bay, use the included masks and snorkels, and try the stand-up paddleboard if weather conditions permit.

This is where the boat becomes more than a sightseeing platform. The snorkeling equipment means you do not need to pack your own mask and snorkel, while the SUP gives you another way to look around the clear water. The exact number of pieces of equipment is not stated, so a group of four may need to share.

The weather clause matters. The SUP is available only if conditions allow, and the whole experience requires good weather. Mykonos can be windy, so do not assume every water activity will operate exactly as planned. The operator may offer another date or a full refund if poor weather causes cancellation.

Forty-five minutes is enough for a swim and a short turn on the equipment, but it is not a full watersports session. If swimming is your main goal, save your energy here and at Elia rather than spending all your time taking photos at the earlier beaches.

Agrari offers a quieter change of pace

The boat then passes Agrari Beach for about 20 minutes. This sandy beach is presented as a peaceful contrast to the busier party bays.

That change is one of the better features of the route. Mykonos is not only beach clubs and expensive yachts. Agrari gives you a calmer view of the island, with a less showy shoreline and a slower feel from the water.

You should treat this as a close coastal pass, not a landing. The stated schedule does not include time on Agrari’s sand. Even so, it helps break up the route and gives the cruise a little more range.

Two hours at Elia make the price easier to judge

The longest stop is Elia Beach, where the boat spends about two hours. This is the part of the day that turns the trip from a coastal tour into a proper half-day on the Aegean.

You can swim and relax while the crew serves savory platters and fresh fruit. Drinks include bottled water, soft drinks, Greek wine, and beer. The alcohol allowance is one bottle of wine per four people, or three bottles of beer for those who prefer beer to wine.

The food is specifically described as platters, not a meal. I would eat breakfast or lunch beforehand, especially if you have a large appetite or plan to spend much of the two hours swimming. The snacks should work well for a light midday break, but they are not a substitute for a restaurant lunch.

Elia is a smart final stop because it gives you time to slow down. The earlier beaches are mostly about views, while Elia lets you use the boat’s practical features: towels, water, deck shower, bathroom, and outdoor space. You can rinse off after swimming and settle in without rushing to the next bay.

What the $1,020.20 group price really buys

The listed price is $1,020.20 for a private group of up to four. That works out to about $255 per person if four people share the cost, before the fuel charge. For two people, the per-person cost is much higher.

The biggest value comes from privacy. You are paying for your own group’s boat time, rather than joining a large shared cruise with a fixed crowd. Pickup and return also reduce the need for separate transport. The boat includes drinks, snacks, towels, water equipment, a bathroom, shower facilities, and WiFi, so several small costs are already covered.

The important extra is fuel. The southern-coast route has a €200 fuel surcharge per booking. A route to Delos and Rhenia has a €300 fuel charge, although the supplied schedule describes the southern coast as the default route. Ask for the exact total in writing before you commit, especially since the fuel charge is substantial.

I see the strongest value for a group of four celebrating a special day, a family that wants its own schedule, or friends who will actually use the swimming gear and two-hour Elia stop. It is harder to justify for one or two people who mainly want a quick look at the beaches.

Who will enjoy this cruise most

You should consider booking if you want a private, polished day on the water without organizing transport, food, and beach equipment separately. It suits people who want a mix of sightseeing and swimming, rather than a pure speedboat transfer or a full-day island-hopping trip.

It is also a good fit if your group has different interests. One person can photograph Psarou and Paradise, another can swim at Super Paradise, and everyone can relax at Elia. Since only your group participates, you do not need to negotiate the mood of a large shared boat.

The cruise is less suitable if you want a full lunch, long shore visits, or extensive time at every beach. It also may not suit anyone uncomfortable with tender-boat transfers. Families and older adults should consider that access point carefully before booking.

The tour is offered in English, and confirmation is provided at booking. Most people can participate, but the tender transfer remains the key practical detail to check with the operator if you have any physical limitations.

Weather, timing, and cancellation details

The experience runs for about five hours, with the route centered on the southern coast. It is commonly booked around 20 days in advance, so early planning is sensible during the busy summer season.

Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the start time. Changes or cancellations inside that 24-hour window are not accepted for a refund. The cut-off follows local Mykonos time.

Because the cruise depends on good weather, conditions can affect the schedule. If the operator cancels because of poor weather, you can choose another date or receive a full refund. The operator does not cover emergencies or travel problems before or after the activity, and missed services are not refunded, so leave sensible time around ferry and flight plans.

Should you book the Voreus private cruise?

Book it if you value privacy, want a modern boat, and plan to use the water time rather than simply look at the coast. The strongest parts are the hotel or port pickup, the private group setup, the Super Paradise swim stop, and the generous two hours at Elia with snacks and drinks.

Think twice if the total cost feels high for a short outing, since the €200 fuel charge comes on top of the group price. Also, do not expect a full meal or lengthy visits ashore. For four people who want an easy, comfortable Mykonos boat day, the price can make sense. For a couple seeking the cheapest way to see the beaches, a shared cruise will likely be better value.
