The day was fabulous, couldn’t fault anything. Firstly the boat; perfect and numbers kept to a level whereby everyone had a decent amount of space and we weren’t stacked on top of one another. The timing; a lovely pace to the whole day, nothing was a rush. The locations; just beautiful and as I said a great amount of time to swim and snorkel. The food; really nice and plentiful. I have been on trips like this before where lunch is a buffet and it’s like feeding time at the zoo. The team arranged everyone into two groups who sat down at the dinner table at two different times. Everyone gets their own plate of lunch served to them which was a much better experience than a buffet. The team; perfect!! Nothing was too much trouble, they cooked a great lunch, served great cocktails and were very knowledgable about the locations we visited. A fantastic end to our time here in Paros. If you are looking for a sailing trip from Paros or Antiparos, this is the one to do!!!!

Simply put, a wonderful day!! Loved meeting other people from around the world all sharing in the beauty of the waters of Greece. A highlight of the trip— would do it again!

Our guides and the crew were great. They took us to many different places we wouldn’t be able to see without doing this boat tour. The blue lagoon was a highlight.

Good amount of people so it was comfortable on board compared to other boat trips on the islands. Great food and drinks too

Super friendly personnel. Lots of space on the boat. Nice food. Superb spots.
