- 13arturoo0 contributionsOne of Athens best experiences.This was the highlight of our days in Athens. Mike and Ari are superb skippers and made everything in their hands to make this an unforgettable experience. Both of them are very knowledgeable about Athens, Greece and the areas that you visit along the coastline. The sailing boat is spotless and once you start cruising the Athens riviera you can just relax and enjoy the Aegean sea. You can just jump off the boat a couple of times to swim in pristine waters. The food was local and delicious. Mike excelled with the feta shrimps and the grilled squid (kudos!) We will definitely do it again when we are back.Written August 10, 2022

He was so cautious of our group and made sure we were all safe. Also, can we mention the food? It was incredible!! Our group is still saying it is the best food they have had in Greece. Thank you for everything! We would definitely book again on the next visit.Written July 2, 2022

10/10! Our best day in Greece! The pick up and drop off service makes the whole experience completely stress free and the driver Paschal is wonderful. Once on board the crew are fantastic explaining what will be happening, and allowing ample time to swim. The food was the best we had during our entire stay in Greece, plentiful and delicious. I could not recommend this experience and this team more. If you are in Greece you have to do it, it is more than worth the money.

After three days of exploring the fascinating city of Athens on foot in the blazing sun, a day out sailing and swimming was just what we needed at the end of our holiday.
The skipper and crew were fabulous and the meal cooked scrumptious.
I'm happy to recommend this experience most highly!

My wife and I took this tour and thought it was amazing. Prompt pickup at our hotel with door to door service to and from the boat. Skipper and first mate were extremely attentive and the food was so good; traditional greek salad, greek pasta, grilled chicken, pork and squid - all seasoned to perfection. The water was aqua blue and clear to the bottom. A MUST if your travels find their way to Athens!

I had an amazing time swimming at the two swim spots, relaxing on the boat, and having a delicious lunch. The two skippers (? not sure if that’s the correct terminology) were also very kind. However - I’m not sure if it’s worth $200+ per ticket, unless having a small group is really that important to you (because that’s essentially what you’re paying for, the added privacy). The 3 island day cruises are less expensive than this, which I found interesting.
Either way, I still enjoyed myself a lot - so if you have the means, go for it!

We were picked up at our apartment by Pascal, the driver, and transported to the marina in a nice and clean Mercedes van. Once there, we were escorted to the catamaran, a 40ft Lagoon, and greeted by Capt Kostas and First mate Dennis. They gave us a full explanation of the vessel and what’s to be expected for the day. We met a couple on the sail for a total of 7 people, my family of 5 and the nice couple. We sailed to our first swim spot and while under way, the crew provided info on Greece’s coastline. We had a great swim and after about an hour, we sailed to the second swim spot. While there and enjoying our time in the water, the crew started to prepare lunch. We had an absolutely delicious lunch and plenty of drinks were provided. After lunch, there was more water time then, sadly, had to sail back to the marina. We had a fantastic time and the crew was great. I highly recommend this tour and will do it again the next time I visit Athens.

This is my second time taking the evening cruise. The first was in 2018 and this time was just as wonderful. The crew was so welcoming and friendly, the catamaran was beautiful, the meal was delicious, and the views were stunning!
The level of care from the crew cannot be understated. At the anchoring for swimming and dinner my phone slipped out of my hand and bounced off the deck overboard. Captain Mike asked what kind of phone it was and without missing a beat in serving the meal, donned fins and mask and retrieved my phone (it was still working!)
On the administrative end of things, Stella was able to work magic and adjust our pickup time on the fly to accommodate changing our location to match the end of a different tour that we were taking that morning.
I plan to come back to Athens, and absolutely plan on taking this cruise again!

Sailing Athens was an amazing company. Easy to book tours. Catamaran was exceptionally clean with fresh towels and excellent staff. We took the sunset cruise to the Athens Riveria, where we enjoyed a wonderfully prepared and delicious greek dinner on board. The Staff was very attentive and friendly. The maximum number of guests were 10 and there was plenty of room to relax. They also had hotel pick up and drop off which was very helpful. Vicki, the reservationist made sure that my daughter's food allergies were noted for the trip and we had no issues whatsoever. The catamaran trip was a nice getaway from the city and I would highly recommend it!!

We booked for two people (with friends) for 10am. The transfer service included was perfect and very convenient. Regarding the cruise, everything was perfect; cleanliness and service were there. The staff was very nice and prepared a meal both qualitative and tasteful. I highly recommend it.

Solo female traveler here! From pickup to drop-off, I felt safe and comfortable on this trip. Traveling alone can sometimes be daunting, especially since you want to be safe on your travels. This was a great choice to get out and do something fun that I've never done before - plus, all the other travelers on the boat were lovely and we all got on well.
Our crew, George and Georgia, were amazing. From the safety briefing to finding us good spots to swim to the dinner that was delicious! We went on a day that started to get a bit rainy as we were leaving port, so we were worried that it would put a damper on the evening. It was chilly towards the end (early May+rainy weather+ocean breeze), so I'm glad that I brought an extra layer to put on, especially after swimming around and having wet hair.
Unlimited beer, wine, water, sodas, juice. Dinner was great and there were alternative food for people who didn't eat chicken or pork (we had pasta, salad, bread, chicken, shrimp, pork, veggies, and tzatziki). It was plenty for the entire group of 10 of us.
There were 2 swimming stops with plenty of time for swimming. For nervous swimmers, there are life vests you can wear and floaty toys you can hold on to. You also are not obligated to swim if you don't want to. Towels are provided and there is a bathroom on the boat.

After a long flight from Atlanta to Athens, we went on this excursion in the afternoon. Perfect way to chill after overnight flight! George & Georgia were great hosts and provided everything we needed. Cruise was relaxing, swimming was great and dinner was over the top. Would highly recommend for travelers looking to enjoy an afternoon in the sun with dinner before you jumped back into other activities (like a cruise) the next day). And Paschal picking us up at our hotel was a real plus to avoid taxi’s.
