What to expect on a Mykonos boat tour
Most boat tours depart from the Old Port or Ornos and spend three to eight hours cruising the calmer southern and western coast, where the water is clearest for swimming. Expect stops at bays you can't reach by road, snorkelling gear on board, and a mix of Greek meze, drinks and music. Semi-private RIBs go faster and reach more coves, while traditional wooden kaïki and catamarans trade speed for shade and space.
Private boat charters vs group cruises
A shared group cruise is the affordable, sociable choice and the easiest to book solo or as a couple. A private boat charter — from a speedboat to a crewed catamaran — lets you choose the beaches, the timing and the pace, which is ideal for families, groups and special occasions. Private trips to Rhenia island and Delos are the most requested.
