Rent a Yacht at Mykonos Princess V55

The best Mykonos days happen offshore. The Princess V55 charter gives your group a private eight-hour outing from Ornos, with time for Delos, Rinia, and Mykonos beaches depending on weather and your captain’s plan. You can stop for swims, snorkel from the boat, and shape the day around your own pace rather than follow a fixed sightseeing schedule.

I like the generous inclusions, especially the unlimited drinks, lunch, snacks, towels, Wi-Fi, and snorkelling gear. I also like the strong personal service associated with Christos, Konstantinos, Stamatis, and the wider crew. The main drawback is price: at $5,377.45 per group, this makes sense for a larger party or a special occasion, not a casual day out for two.

Key points to know before booking

• Ornos is the starting point: Meet at the Ornos dock at 11:00 am and return there after roughly eight hours.
• Delos and Rinia are weather permitting: The route can include both islands, plus the famous south beaches of Mykonos.
• You control the swim stops: Ask to linger at a beach that appeals to you, swim, snorkel, or move on.
• The price covers a lot: Fuel, captain, crew member, food, drinks, towels, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth speakers, and snorkelling equipment are included.
• The boat suits groups up to 10: The total cost works better when divided among friends or family.
• Bad weather has a clear remedy: You can accept another date or receive a full refund if the company cancels for weather.

Leaving Ornos at 11:00 am

Your day begins at the Ornos dock, on the small bay south of Mykonos Town. The meeting point is listed as Embarkation for Yacht Charter on an unnamed road at Ornos, so check the exact pin and allow enough time to find the dock before the 11:00 am departure.

The starting time is useful. It gives you a full day on the water without requiring an early morning alarm, and it leaves room for a relaxed breakfast before setting off. You also return to the same place, which keeps the logistics simple.

The charter includes a captain and a crew member. That matters on a private boat because you are not left to manage the route, food service, drinks, and safety arrangements while trying to enjoy the day. Communication by WhatsApp has also been praised, so you can clarify plans and preferences before departure.

The listing says the meeting point is near public transportation, though it does not provide a transfer service. You should arrange your own way to Ornos and confirm the precise dock instructions after booking.

What the Princess V55 day feels like

This is not a quick boat ride with a single photo stop. It is an eight-hour private charter designed around time on the water, with several possible destinations and room to adjust the day.

The route can include Delos and Rinia, two islands across from Mykonos, as well as the south coast beaches of Mykonos. The exact order is not fixed in the information provided, and weather conditions may change the plan. That flexibility is useful, but you should not book expecting a guaranteed visit to every stop.

A private charter gives you more say than a standard group cruise. If your group wants longer swims, you can ask to stay. If one beach feels too busy or the sea conditions are not comfortable, the captain can help shape a better plan within the limits of the day.

The boat can accommodate up to 10 people. This is a good size for a family, a group of friends, or a special celebration where you want the whole boat to yourselves. With a full party, the space should feel more social and the price becomes easier to justify. With only two or three people, the cost per person rises quickly.

Delos: an island with a very different mood

Delos is the cultural stop on the possible route. It gives the day more substance than a simple beach cruise, although the information provided does not specify how long you spend ashore or whether a guided visit is included.

If Delos is part of your route, ask the crew how much time is available and what the landing arrangements are. The day is built around a yacht outing, swimming, and leisure, so you should not assume that the boat provides a full archaeological tour.

The value of including Delos is the contrast. After a morning or afternoon of open water and beach stops, an island visit can give you a sense of place and add a historical dimension to the trip. The drawback is that time spent ashore means less time swimming, so make sure your group agrees on priorities.

Weather is especially important here. The company states that Delos and Rinia are visited weather permitting, so the route depends on sea conditions. A calm forecast may allow a wider itinerary, while rougher water can lead to a simpler day around Mykonos.

Rinia and the appeal of quieter water

Rinia is the other possible island destination. It is paired with Delos in the suggested route, but the charter does not promise a fixed stop at both islands. Think of them as possible parts of a flexible sailing plan, not guaranteed checkboxes.

The real appeal of Rinia is the chance to get away from the busiest parts of Mykonos. One of the strongest themes from the feedback is that the boat helps you leave the crowded resort areas and reach quieter beaches and outer islands.

This is where a private yacht can feel worth the money. You are not simply looking at the sea from a crowded deck. You can stop for a swim, use the snorkelling equipment, relax with a drink, and let the crew handle the practical work.

Still, you should keep expectations realistic. The supplied details do not specify a particular beach on Rinia, a landing point, or a fixed amount of time there. Ask the captain about the day’s route once you are on board.

Mykonos south beaches, swim stops, and snorkelling

The charter can visit the famous south beaches of Mykonos, with stops chosen around your interests and the conditions at sea. You can ask to stop at a beach you like for swimming and snorkelling.

That freedom is one of the best reasons to choose this experience. A standard excursion may give you a set timetable. Here, you can make the water time the main event, add more beach stops, or balance swimming with island visits.

The included snorkelling equipment removes one small but annoying task. You do not need to arrange a separate rental, and towels are included as well. Fresh fruit, snacks, and drinks keep the day moving between stops.

The beach names are not specified, so do not expect a guaranteed visit to a particular famous shore. If your group has a favorite, ask about it in advance. The captain can tell you what is practical for the weather and the day’s timing.

The south coast can be popular, especially in good weather. A yacht gives you a different view of those beaches and may help you reach quieter sections, but it does not guarantee solitude. If privacy is your main goal, say so clearly before departure.

Lunch, drinks, and the useful extras

Food and drink are included in a way that makes the charter feel like a full day rather than a boat rental that leaves you to organize everything yourself.

The meal is a choice of pasta with mixed seafood or pasta with pesto sauce. That gives you one seafood option and one simpler alternative. The details do not mention special dietary arrangements, so contact the company before booking if someone in your group has an allergy or needs a different meal.

You also receive snacks, a cheese plate, and a basket of fresh fruit. Espresso coffee is included, along with unlimited wine, beer, and soft drinks. These details have real value on an eight-hour trip. You are unlikely to spend part of the day searching for a café or carrying a large supply of provisions.

The drinks package deserves a practical note. Unlimited wine and beer can be useful for a group that plans to relax on board, but you should still pace yourself. Swimming, sunshine, and alcohol are not a clever combination when taken too far.

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth speakers are also included. You can stay connected and play your own music, provided everyone in the group agrees on the soundtrack. Towels and snorkelling equipment mean fewer items to pack, while the crew member can help keep food and drinks organized.

Crew service and the human side of the charter

The most praised part of this experience is the crew. Specific names connected with the service include Christos, Konstantinos, and Stamatis. Christos is repeatedly singled out for warm, attentive service, while the wider team is described as organized and easy to communicate with.

That personal attention matters more on a private charter than on a standard excursion. You are spending a large sum for a full day, so the crew should do more than steer the boat. They should help with the route, swimming stops, food, drinks, and the small details that keep the day comfortable.

One group of eight from Australia described the day with Christos and Stamatis as a highlight of a five-week European trip. Another group praised the clean, well-maintained boat and the way the crew kept drinks available. A separate party of 10 found that the yacht fit them comfortably.

You should not treat those comments as a guarantee that every moment will be perfect. Service can vary with sea conditions, the group’s requests, and the day’s workload. Still, the repeated praise for organization, communication, cleanliness, and hospitality is a useful sign when choosing a private operator.

Is $5,377.45 good value?

The price is $5,377.45 for a group of up to 10. At full capacity, that works out to about $537.75 per person. For eight people, it is about $672.18 each. Smaller groups pay much more per person.

That figure includes the boat, captain, crew member, fuel, food, drinks, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth speakers, towels, and snorkelling equipment. It also includes the privacy and flexibility of having the yacht to yourselves. When you add those items together, the price is easier to understand than it first appears.

I would consider it good value for a full group marking a birthday, anniversary, wedding event, or major holiday. It can also suit friends who care more about a private day on the water than about keeping costs low.

For a couple or a small family, the value is harder to defend. You may still decide that the experience is worth it, but you are paying for capacity you will not use. Compare the cost with other private charters before committing.

The boat is described as well maintained, and the group feedback points to a clean, comfortable yacht. However, the supplied details do not list cabin arrangements, deck layout, toilets, or exact onboard facilities beyond the stated inclusions. Ask for those details if they affect your decision.

Who should book this yacht?

I would recommend it most strongly to groups of six to 10 who want a private day with food, drinks, swimming, and a flexible route. It is also a good fit if your group values service and comfort over the lowest possible price.

Families and mixed-age groups may appreciate the ability to choose shorter or longer swim stops. Friends can use the speakers, share food, and make the day as social or quiet as they like.

This is less suitable if you want a strict historical tour of Delos, a guaranteed list of beaches, or a low-cost way to get on the water. It is also not the right choice if you dislike changing plans because of weather.

The experience is listed as suitable for most people, and the meeting point is near public transportation. The available information does not give detailed accessibility specifications, so ask the operator about boarding and onboard access if needed.

The booking is non-refundable and cannot be changed for any reason. That is an important financial risk at this price. The exception is poor weather: if the company cancels for that reason, you can choose another date or receive a full refund.

My final booking advice

I would book this Princess V55 charter when I had a full group, a flexible attitude, and a real interest in spending most of the day on the sea. The mix of island possibilities, beach stops, food, drinks, and attentive crew makes it more than a simple yacht hire.

Before paying, I would confirm the dock instructions, ask what route is likely for the forecast, and explain whether my group cares most about Delos, Rinia, quiet swimming spots, or the south beaches. That conversation can help set the right expectations.

If you are splitting the cost among eight to 10 people, this looks like a strong private-day option in Mykonos. If you are booking for only two or three, think carefully. The experience may be excellent, but the price needs to match your priorities.
