    Depending on the weather and sea conditions, the cruise follows one of two possible routes. You may sail towards Antiparos, with potential stops around the Blue Lagoon and Despotiko, or head south towards Rina Cave and the Small Cyclades. The final route and swimming stops are selected by the skipper with safety, weather conditions and your group's preferences in mind.

    During the cruise, there will be opportunities to swim and snorkel in selected locations. Snorkeling equipment, flotation noodles and life jackets are provided on board.

    Guests who would like a more active experience can also take part in the sailing. With guidance from the skipper, you can learn how the sails are adjusted and assist with simple sailing maneuvers. Participation is entirely optional, so you may also choose to relax on board and enjoy the journey.

    Bottled water, soft drinks and seasonal fruit are included. Depending on the selected route, the cruise may include a stop near a traditional tavern, where guests who wish to have lunch can do so at their own expense.

    FAQs

    What happens if the weather is bad?
    In case the weather is bad and for your safety your excursion is cancelled you will first be offered the chance to reschedule. If, for whatever reason you can't or don't want to reschedule - including, simply, your wishes, we will then immediately process a 100% refund of your booking. Without any extra fees or charges. No hassle no fuss.

    Rarely, bad weather may also mean that, for your safety, a different itinerary is used. Here, no refund is possible. The tour organizer will always offer an equivelant itinerary taking the same amount of time and visiting equally impressive places (just those not so prone to bad weather) and offering an equally enjoyable experience that you are sure to treasure.

    Can I pay on arrival?
    It is not possible to pay on arrival. The only way to secure a booking is to make a reservation beforehand.

    A refined way to enjoy the Cyclades from the sea

    VERIFIED BOOKING
    December 15, 2025

    The day on board the "Annabella" boat was wonderful with beautiful stops along the route. Swimming near the so called "Blue Lagoon" and the small islets was a true highlight: A refined way to enjoy the Cyclades from the sea!
