Set sail from Naxos on a private full-day cruise aboard a sailing yacht reserved exclusively for your group. Spend approximately nine hours exploring the clear waters, secluded bays and island landscapes of the Cyclades with an experienced skipper.
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.

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.
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!
