    Highlights

    • Design your own itinerary with a private captain, choosing where to swim, snorkel, relax or stop for lunch, all at your own pace

    • Enjoy a luxury speedboat experience guided by knowledgeable local captain, ideal for couples, families and special occasions

    Description

    Discover Ios the way it was meant to be seen, from the sea. This private speedboat cruise takes you along the island's dramatic coastline, revealing crystal-clear waters, hidden caves, shipwrecks and some of the most pristine beaches in the Cyclades. Life really is better on a boat.

    Snorkel above a sunken cargo ship resting just six metres below the surface, explore the interconnected Koumbara caves on foot, or dive into the electric blue waters of Neverbay, a stunning filming location made famous on Instagram. Along the way, you'll visit secluded coves and untouched beaches such as Tripiti and Pickernero, sheltered from the wind and glowing with turquoise hues.

    For full-day tours, a stop at Manganari Beach on the southern tip of Ios is highly recommended, where you can enjoy lunch at traditional seaside tavernas. Whether you're celebrating something special or simply escaping the crowds, this private boat tour offers a truly personalised, luxurious and unforgettable day out on the water.

    One of our best experiences in Greece

    April 29, 2025

    It was a pleasure to spend our day with Joe in his boat. He was super kind and did his best to make the trip as pleasant and safe as possible. We will for sure keep this experience in mind if we ever come back to Ios. Best wishes!!!
