Sailing the Saronic Gulf: Agistri, Moni & Aegina All-Day Cruise

Best staff 🤍🇬🇷

Everything was perfect the staff were amazing and so lovely with the whole group, the food was so delicious. I recommend everyone to come and visit the beautiful islands with them.

Awesome island visits

Awesome, there are no words to explain how good this was, awesome crew, awesome boat!!! Wouldn’t have changed anything about it. And the people you go with too, you get to meet great people and it didn’t feel crowded, just a small group of people.

“Private excursion “

First off the staff were all super friendly and outgoing , constantly checking in. Second the lunch provided was more than adequate, as were the drinks. Had the feeling of a “private” excursion, Not rushed ….. shout out to Panou

Gathering sunlight while the breeze refreshes you!

Absolutely fun and exciting!! We had great food , visited amazing places and the staff was super friendly! I highly recommend this experience

Anna is the best!

Great experience. Anna is the best guide you can imagine! We had a great day. There were people from different countries and the whole experience was awesome. Food and drinks were provided and they were plenty. The crew was very professional and friendly.

Our Favorite Day in Athens!

My brother and I had amazing time on this trip, every was planned out perfectly and we never felt rush. We were able to soak in and enjoy the day, thanks to Paños, Betty and Bassos. This trip still allowed us to be flexible to do as we wanted. I loved the scenes, peacefulness and the lovely people we met.

Cruise around Saronic Islands

Amazing day around Saronic Islands. From the start crew been looking after us. We have time for swimming, relaxing and having fun during cruise.

Save your money

Crew was arguing with each other throughout the trip. the beaches we went to were below average, snorkeling was worthless not to mention no life jackets were issued. A waste of money and time.

A perfect day out in Athens nearest islands

We had our hesitates, but after talking to Rita from the office/admin who her English is perfect and is so helpful and kind, and even more after met Anna our tour guide - I can truly summarize it as PERFECT DAY. Everything was well organized, we ordered with transportation, Anna was so attentive and knowledgeable, food was good and we had enough time in both Agistri and Agina. Perfect solution to experience the islands to whom can't or don't want to visit/stay. Highly recommend.

Very nice boat trip, a bit unevenly divided lunch - but enough to have enough for lunch (but little salad etc). Other than that, a very nice boat trip 😎🌴

Perfect Day at sea.

We spent a beautiful day at the sea. The experience was exactly the same as it was advertised. Very nice boat,very friendly crew. I definitely recommend

So much fun!

Loved when the boat stopped for lunch and we got to jump off into the water! I would highly recommend this cruise!

Excellent trip with this cruise

This is an amazing trip that one should take. The islands maybe ok to visit but the boat ride and services are excellent. We experienced awesome weather and ship ride was extremely relaxing.

Great day to enjoy the beautiful islands close to Athens

It was such a great day! The boat trip was lovely, not too crowded, nice seat areas inside the boat, nice music (not too loud!). The boat itself is beautiful! The food was very good and the staff was always kind and attentive, especially our guide, who treated us always so well and always made us feel excited about the program for the day. The islands are beautiful and you get to spend time on each one and do whatever you prefer - some people walked around, some others went for drinks and cocktails, we went to the beach to swim and relax. Speaking about swimming, the highlight of the trip is definitely the jump and swimming from the boat!

Very good trip

It was a really nice cruise with a good crew, we met people and enjoy all the organisation. A chill time and interesting destinations.

A perfect day on the Aegean

The perfect day trip to see some less crowded parts of the Aegean. The crew were wonderful and we were lucky to have a good group of travelers as well. Plan for a long day but a very relaxing one.

Can’t get over it

It was an amazing experience. The islands are not sooo impressive but if you like boat trips, this is the one. Small cruise, around 20 people, super nice crew on board, nice food and drinks, etc. For me, the best thing about the tour was the crew. Everyone was so easy going and talkative. I just wished we could have stayed longer. Really amazing trip. Just one thing - not the best place for snorkeling, the water is crystal clear but unfortunately there’s not much sea life to explore. Swimming is still amazing but just don’t expect to see a lot under water.

Great people, great tour!

We would definitely recommend to book this sailing tour. You won’t be disappointed! Great team and very well organized

epic win

Definitely great value for money, if you wanted to do the same cruise you couldn’t on the same budget. All the bad reviews mention the food, but it was great, plus there’s stop overs if you go hungry. Only downside is it’s a diverse mix of people, we made a couple mates but there was a couple unsavoury characters. Would recommend.

Amazing experience

Amazing experience, with really accommodating staff. Even though we was late to the boat they waited for us and still made us feel welcome.

Relaxing

We had an amazing time on on this very relaxing beautiful day. Captain gave great recommendations and guide was a delight. Martika crew

Viator failed badly on this one

This was not the crews fault. However, I arranged for pickup at our hotel for an added cost and was sent a confirmation email. We were travelling from Canada. I was NOT sent an email informing me of a last day change of plans that I was to go to a new meeting place. I received a phone call 25 minutes past our pickup time asking me where I was, that they were waiting for me and my guest. We had to rush to get an Uber. This cost me a 30 minute taxi lift as well as a shortened day cruise. I was assured we would be returned to our hotel at the end of the day. On our return, once again we were dropped off too far from the hotel to walk, so we had another taxi cost. When I booked this tour I was told I would be picked up at our hotel for an added cost which I accepted. Viator was very unprofessional in handling this tour. There was no red wine to be seen. The sandwiches did not have any butter on the bread. It was like a fast thrown together picnic lunch.

Excellent cruise and guide

Excellent experience and really good guide in the trip! Guide knew her things and was really fun. The cruise was good fun

Great!

A fun and lazy day at sea. Visited Agistri & Aegina, 2 beautifull islands. Food was good, staff was friendly and helpfull, the guide was great.

Above and Beyond

Although the day started with a snafu with the pick up, the way in which the company responded really won me over. They went above and beyond to salvage my day and make sure I got to experience as much of the cruise as possible. Every single person on staff was aware of what happened with the pickup and they personally greeted me at each stage of the rest of the day. I would definitely travel with these guys again. They showed me exceptional customer service and true hospitality.

Cruise Catastrophe

I have never taken a cruise in such poor condition. We got plucked just as it should be. A dream program and tempting photos but we had none of that. On the agenda is disastrous weather, the company is not canceling the cruise so in the end what is happening? Everyone is sick on the boat, we can't visit any islands as planned, only a stop in a small village where there is nothing on a 10 hour cruise!!! Crossings in the endless storm, wind and cold as hell. The company which refuses to compensate us more than 20% given the ticket prices and the absolutely disastrous conditions we had. This is called simply being pigeonholed. I simply do not recommend this company at all. One hell of a cruise. What was supposed to be the best day of the vacation was in fact the worst and most disappointing

Great day cruising the islands!

The crew and guide (Anna) were wonderful! They went above and beyond to make sure we all had a great time. We loved the relaxing and incredibly scenic cruise, the delicious lunch and drinks and the tours of the islands. The bike ride, the swim in the ocean and the pistachio tasting were our favorites. Traveled with my 19 1/2 year old daughter and we definitely recommend this trip:).

Relaxing day on the water

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. The transfers from our hotel were well organised in a modern minibus - first pickup was about 50 minutes before the boat was due to sail. The boat was full, but not overcrowded. There was a mix of normal seating near the front, back and interior, and sun bed style loungers on the deck in the middle which were very comfy. The staff were all very helpful and friendly including Anna (tour guide) and Panos (hope I remembered his name right). In the morning there was coffee and pastries as we sailed for the first stop on Agistri which is a small fishing island. Some people hired bikes for ten euros to ride to the other side, others wandered up into the village for a drink, and we strolled along the harbour and coast feeding a few of the local cats and enjoying the sun. After 90 minutes we set off for a smaller island where people swam in the sea before lunch was served. The buffet food was some of the nicest I ate on my trip - there was a lamb stew and roast potatoes that were *so* good! There was enough to go round and some people had second helpings. Drinks were beers, white wine or the usual soft options. They did eventually run out on the return leg, but I’d had enough by then. It’s not a “drink yourself silly party boat”, but neither was it two drinks and done. Last stop was on Aegina which is a fair bit bigger. Some people went shopping in the town or to a waterside bar. A few of us went to the nearby archaeology museum which has the extensive ruins of a settlement and temple overlooking the sea. Only four euros which was a bargain. On the return journey there was more time to relax, chat, read or listen to the music (again, this was not a party boat with drunken dancing) before getting in to harbour around 6:20. A very nice end to our week in Athens.

Sailing without Sails!

Most memorable was swimming in the Saronic Gulf! I wanted to sail, but unfortunately, there were no sails!

A must do from the city

This was a great trip with small stop in the islands and lots of sailing time .. great bunch and Anna was great leader , great communication also

The Saronic Geek Islands

What a beautiful way to discover Greece. From onboarding, to breakfast, snacks, all you can drink beverages (including adult) it was a magical day spent sailing the beautiful Mediterranean. Oh …did I mention…the plunge in the blue waters!! The best day ever…don’t miss this amazing opportunity!!

Great Day

Great day with great crew and guide Anna, lovely spots visited including Agistri and Agena .. loved it! A great contrast to Athens and a real must!

Trip was canceled due to...

Trip was canceled due to weather and no alternative option was offered, only a refund. We wanted another experience and was told none was available, they were booked

Cold- no sun☹️

Long day when weather isn’t good. But that’s not their fault. The crew did great, and the tour person was good. Food was so so

So far worse boat trip I had

Trip was nice by it self but that all I can say. For breakfast soft drinks and tea coffee was served buffet style. Later on sandwiches was brought but literally maybe few people got them to taste as there was not enough. Lunch was okay meatbals , rice , chicken, salads, bread wine and bear. Some fruits for dinner. Service was very poor as you don't know who is staff literally one guide on boat which literally pass information about stops. No service provided serve your self. No entertainment or any communications with people from the staff to make enjoyable trip. Staff appears with cigarette in their mouth smoking all over the boat which we didn't enjoyed. Everyone were with their shoes on and walking over the sunbeds on front deck also it was wet and coming water u underneath which makes slips conditions and boat more dirty. Music was so loud in the front of the boat you can't hear each other talking. Also if you like music from 2000 -2004 It's your boat for rave. But thats was not occasion also sunbeds was cover with tarp literally get sun on them as it was quite cold till lunch it was not so pleasant to travel. Personally there is better boats to spend money on. I would not recommend this boat as I had plenty of boat trips in the past so far its the worst.

It was okay. Needs more changes and more communication.

It was my second boat trip in Greece. To compare with last year boat this one was okay. Everything was nice but some of the crew could be more organised and communicated with people. The sun we got very little because boat was covered and it was cold during the journey. Music was too loud and more club style where it would be more nicer relax music and chill. Overall organised was okay but could be better. Food choice was very poor. Bathroom needs a bit upgrad. Would be good to make sure that all people have a nice seats or feel more comfortable during the journey. I would give 5/10.

Overall 10/10 experience

Me and my partner had booked this for my birthday and it was the most pleasant experience, the tour guide Anna was so lovely she had such a warm personality, she was so easy to talk to and enjoyed every minute of her company and conversations we had! The trip was a great way of exploring more and see different islands, there was unlimited drinks and food it was perfect, the team was very friendly!

Great cruise

Ana and the crew were wonderful. Food and wine was delicious. And they kept us updated on issues that were beyond their control. They were very professional through weather issues we had.

Great way to spend a day

I would highly recommend this tour. Staff is friendly and helping. First stop is Agistri island, it has perfect beach with clear blue water. You can rent bicycle and take a bath. After that, there will be a stop for swimming near the island of Moni. Last stop is island of Aegina. It's pretty urban, lots of ice cream shops, bars, restaurants and archeological site. You should bring warmer clothes as it will become very cold in May on return and it takes almost 2 hours back to Athena. Sea temperature is still very cold, but some peopl were taking bath. I would say that this time of the year has its own advantages as you can take a walk and explore islands, which in the summer is probably impossible due to strong sun.

Great boat trip

Pros: The boat trip was really nice. The staff was friendly, and the boat was comfortable. The islands are beautiful, we definitely recommend the trip. Cons: The lunch could be improved. More options and better seasoning. Aegina is a big island to explore, I suggest increasing the time spent on the island to 2 hours, instead of 1:30.

Just average, not worth it. Only good thing was the guide's friendliness

The ship was lovely and there were enough seats for everyone despite looking much smaller than the average cruise ship. Due to weather constraints, we only got to visit Aegina and stop by Moni, but not Agistri. The guide was extremely friendly but it felt like she wasn't very knowledgeable. She didn't give a lot of info in the museum and she went through it really fast. She seemed to repeat certain points that she already said then moved on quickly. But let it be known that she genuinely did try her best to make things comfortable for everyone, offering pills for those sea sick and planning ahead. The food was underwhelming. From the description, I thought it would be like a row of standing metal trays like those you saw in catering, but it was just some normal trays squished onto a table. With how small the shop was, the placement couldn't be helped but generally the food was great. All in all, it wasn't good value for money. I guess if you don't know what else to pick this is still something to do on a chill, calm sea day. I just expected more value add I suppose? P.s. the weather being volatile was out of their control and I didn't take that into account in this rating

A Birthday to Remember

We had a very beautiful day together with the company of the cruise crew and Ana, our guide. Ana was very nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. We were welcomed with tea, coffee, and cake. Later, we had a refreshing lunch with unlimited drinks. It was quite a long and enjoyable day with different activities that were offered. We recommend that you book with this company.

Greece island cruise

The trip was well organised with an excellent guide . She was very helpful and was a pleasant person and spoke to every one individually and made sure everyone was comfortable. The islands we visited were wonderful and a must visit . We also got a chance to swim in the sea and were told in advance to bring the swimming costume and towels . Light breakfast was served and there was proper lunch starting with salads , chicken , pasta , vegetables , rice etc . Also drinks were served. Food was excellent and cannot complain . We had enough time to go around the islands and everything was well organised. Overall we had a wonderful experience.

Beautiful boat, lovely people

We had a great day on this cruise! The guide (Ana) and crew were really truly lovely and went above and beyond. The boat is very cool and comfortable, whether you prefer chairs or lying on a little tanning matras. The journey is beautiful and we really enjoyed strolling around the islands. Couple of things to note: we got some windy weather and that made for a slightly rougher journey on the way back. The crew were hyper professional and we all felt safe, but a little bit sick. The weather makes a massive difference. We had a mixed day, so some of it was amazing and some parts a little cold and windy. Still jumped in the water at the swimming spot, good fun. We could have used a little more time at each location, this was also weather related, but 1.5 hours per place goes very quickly. Bring sunscreen, a good attitude and you’ll have a great time. Don’t expect all too much from the food, it’s fine but not amazing (we ate on the islands as well, great stuff there). Plenty of beers and wine, good vibe, truly awful music but the crew occasionally were open to changing it (for some of the time). Recommend!

A good experience

A nice trip despite inclement weather coming back. The crew were cheerful and helpful. The food and drinks provided were great and plentiful. All in all a good experience. Recommended

Highly recommended way to spend the day

Well worth it to spend the day on this trip. Views of the islands, some swimming in the lovely Mediterranean, very nice food for lunch. Crew were very nice people and our guide gave good advice on what to do at each stop. Recommend bringing some clothing layers for the strong breeze at full speed to stay warm, there's no blankets available on the boat although there is the inside cabin and the back of the boat which are more sheltered. That aside, we loved it.

Great experience

Very nice experience. I recommend you bring a light jacket or blanket for the morning ride there. The time frames to spent time in the islands are still good and decent food, I went for seconds. They had beer , soda , juices and water. The bathrooms are very clean .

Sailing Bliss

The tour was wonderful!!! The crew and staff were very helpful and attentive to all our needs. Be warned that it may get cold at times so bring appropriate clothing. Ana and Margarita were outstanding!!! We loved their energy and friendliness which made the tour that much more enjoyable! We are very pleased with the tour and the service of the staff. Highly recommended. Arnold R.

Relaxing and Fun

Very relaxing and nicely organised. The guide was superb. We had bike riding, swimming and lot of tasty food

Sailing the Saronic Gulf - 06.04.24 - 5* Trip

What an amazing trip, starting with cycling along the coast on the first island (you can walk but we decided to hire bikes), and diving into the sea on the second spot. Followed by a fantastic drop-off to enjoy the most amazing pistachio ice cream at the last stop. Lovely food and a lovely crew including Rita who was an absolute star.
