About
Taking to the seas off Milos usually means expensive boat charters or busy, large-group cruises. This small-group trip offers the best of both worlds: a skippered yacht, limited numbers, and route that’s customizable through discussions with the crew. Sail by tiny fishing villages, cliffs, and rock formations; stop to swim and snorkel; and ride a dinghy around sea caves. Onboard meals, snacks, drinks, and snorkel gear make everything complete.

- Dancoco4620 contributionsThe bestThanks son much Nico and Marion we had the best experience with you both The level of care , professionalism And fun factor were exceptional After having done expensive research on which your would suit us best I’m so impressed with our day yesterday Love Danielle and JonathanWritten July 6, 2024
- sbssemibra0 contributionsWonderful dayIt was a special day provided by Marion and Nikos. They are great hosts. Everything was 100%. I’ll recommend them to everyone I know. No words to describe the wonderful day we had. Sergio and CyntiaWritten June 5, 2024
- kyletravel20220 contributionsBest Activity we did in GreeceI can't say enough about our day sailing with Marion and Nikolas! We did a lot of different activities across multiple islands in Greece and this was by far the best activity that we did. The boat has enough room for everyone to spread out, but thankfully its very personalized as it's a small group (max 14, and only 12 of us on our day). There were some people in their 20's, 30's and then my parents in their 70's and we were all able to enjoy whatever we wanted to. I really wanted to make sure we were on a small boat that had a dingey so we could get out into the caves. I'm glad I did because Nikolas provided such incredible tours around the caves, where we got to swim in some really beautiful and neat areas. Where we would see other boats just come in and out we actually spent time and got to enjoy it all. Let's not forget the food, it was delicious and we definitely had enough to enjoy throughout the day with breakfast, lunch, and a sundowner local drink and snack as we sailed into the sunset. Really, what makes this day so special were Marion and Nikolas! Can't recommend them enoughWritten October 25, 2023
- filippobR4850ZG0 contributionsBest day in milos, by far!Niko and Marion were absolutely incredible! The trip was tailored to the group’s interests & level of confidence swimming, Nico went the extra mile to show us some hidden gems of milos, Marion was incredibly friendly and upbeat which gave the perfect vibe to the day. The food was SO good: both the traditional watermelon pie for breakfast and the lunch served after visiting kleftiko! We enjoyed it so much that we tried to book a second trip with them but they were fully booked. We did other boat trips in milos but this one stands out by a long shot! We hope to be back soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️Written August 5, 2023
- BASG20050 contributionsAn Absolute Amazing Day!!!!Fantastic day! Highly recommend, a must if you are visiting Milos. We were able to do some cave swimming, and had the opportunity to jump off of some great rocks. No other cruises we saw were doing as much as we were able to do. The couple who own/run the cruise were amazing. If you want a fantastic day around the Island, this is a must! Absolutely Amazing!Written July 1, 2023
- elinev6260 contributionsAmazing must-do experienceNiko and Marion are such fun and sweet people. They are incredibly passionate and very well organised. They are adventurous and keep exploring new things to keep improving the tour. The boat is very well kept and comfortable. During the day, Niko takes you on a smaller boat to explore the rocks and caves and water of the bay (if you like, otherwise you can stay on the boat or swim/snorkle around). This smaller boat tour included snorkeling and diving with all the material provided. Niko is very adventurous and passionate and encourages you just enough that you experience new things without being uncomfortable. He knows very well what he is doing and is a lot of fun. We have seen/experienced places that no other boat tours will bring you. After this adventure there is delicious local food. They tell many stories about the island and the life there. This boat tour was much more than we expected!Written June 25, 2023
- Kelly M0 contributionsWonderful experience!My group had wonderful time! Nikos was a fun and engaging guide, and Marion was a gracious host. My group was especially grateful for her thoughtful inclusion of gluten free foods for one of my friends. Our route was changed a bit due to weather, but it allowed for an amazing experience to spend a substantial amount of time exploring and touring Kleftiko - so beautiful! I highly recommend booking with this team.Written October 17, 2022
- 696laurena0 contributionsWonderful semi private tour with experienced crew in MilosARKsailing is under new management…and they are AMAZING. Nico and Marian hosted us for their first sail. They treated us with true Greek (and French) hospitality. The drinks were cold, the food was local and delicious, and they were extremely knowledgeable on the history and culture of the lovey island of Milos. My wife and I were very pleased with the attention to detail and their focus on ensuring our experience was perfect. Would highly recommend to any interested in a fun sightseeing expedition by boat without crowds. Also, thanks to Captain Alex! What a crew!Written July 10, 2022
- christophers3860 contributionsFantastic experience with accommodating hostsHaving messaged multiple boat companies we opted to go with ARKsailing as appeared to be best value. It did not disappoint! Panos and Aris were the friendliest hosts; accommodating throughout, ensuring we never went thirsty! Provided history for at each site. The sites were beautiful. We did the west coast route stopping at Kleftiko and Sikia (and one other). Would highly recommend!!Written September 26, 2021

- Xrhstos S0 contributionsUnbelievable experience on the seaIt was an exciting day on the beaches of Milos that have no road access on the west side of the island. Many thanks to the crew (Aris, Panagiotis, Nikos) that was incredible as they provided everything that was needed to us from equipment to tasty food and beverages. It's an experience that shall be accomplished by everyone who visits Milos and wants to explore each side of the island. The trip started in the morning from the port of Adamas and we made four different stops for swimming on Kalogries, Kleftiko, Sykies, Agios Dimitrios beaches. Also, Panagiotis led us with small boats inside the caves of the pirates. We ended up with making new friends and drinking wine and beers while watching the sunset of Milos.

Many thanks to Aris, Panagiotis and Nikos who make us feel comfortable in order to enjoy each moment.

Nikos and Marion are a class act couple. They deliver more than you would hope for even when they had to change the itinerary because of high winds on the north part of the island. As many of the reviews confirm, you will have a day that will provide many memories that you won't have by staying on land. They are no large company and it shows with the personal touches. They shared great history and geology lessons about the island and rock formations. The food Marion provided was amazing and their were many opportunities to swim and snorkel and if you are an adrenaline seeker Nikos can provide that too with some rock jumping.He even got my wife to jump off the higher rocks. Don't look anywhere else to book. Thanks to both of you.

Amazing experience! This was a great trip for anyone seeking an adrenaline rush but you also have the option to sit back and relax if you wish. Marion and Nicos were were wonderful hosts. They were excellent at everything from cooking, finding magical places to explore, and to managing the technical aspects of sailing so that everyone on board is comfortable. Don't pass up this opportunity! This was the best part of our trip to Milos!

Amazing trip with the very best tour guide duo!! Nikos and Marianne were fantastic and really went above and beyond to make sure we got the most out of the full day. With guided tours through caves on the zodiac, breakfast and lunch with authentic greek food and taking us to some of the most breathtaking spots to swim i’ve ever seen! I have been in europe for 4 weeks travelled to multiple countries with multiple different activities but this was the highlight of it all! Highly recommend doing this tour if you are in milos and look for a boat day!! Thanks again guys!!

If there is one thing we would without a doubt recommend you do in Milos, it is a full day sailing with ARKsailing! Marion and Niko make wonderful captain and crew for a full day that is unmatched. They are filled with knowledge of the island and you can tell they love what they do and where they do it! They take you to beautiful beaches where you can adapt the trip to whatever you want (but we highly recommend you go all in! Snorkeling, swimming, exploring caves, and cliff diving are all options and made the experience that much more fun and memorable for us)! Marion also makes sure you are well fed with delicious and homemade meals, snack, and drinks! We will definitely be back to Milos and will without a doubt go back for another full day with ARKsailing!!

This was our favorite day out of the 2 weeks we were in Greece! Marion informed us the day before that the winds were not good to go to Kelftikos so they had to change the itinerary. At first I was disappointed but that shifted quickly once we got started. Our first stop was an uninhabited island (except for the goats!) where there were no other boats around. The water was crystal clear blue that I had never seen before. We then continued the day with so many amazing stops including dingy rides in and out of caves. We were able to swim through some and even snorkeled at a ship wreck. The food made by Marion was absolutely amazing!! We even made a surprise stop at Moon Beach which made my whole birthday special. Nikos and Marion are a beautiful couple who are passionate about giving you a 5 star personalized experience. The day was perfect and we barely saw any other boats which was awesome. There are only 15 people on board which makes it even more enjoyable. I can’t wait to come back to Milos and sail with Them again!

Best day ever!! Have recommended to so many friends. Marion and Nicholas were fantastic hosts with amazing hospitality and knowledge of the area. We felt like we learnt about the island while also enjoying lots of swims! We never felt rushed and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Our favourite part was exploring Kleftiko on the small tender and lunch!!
Thanks for having us 💗

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of spending a magical day aboard La Pomme Bleu in July with Marion, Nikolas and Aldi. As avid travellers, we have done MANY tours, but both walked away from our day sailing around Milos saying that, hands down, that is the one tour/excursion we have ever done that we would do a second or third time in a heartbeat!
Not only were the sights out of this world, but the crew, food, swim stops, everything, were absolute perfection.
If you are considering this excursion, please stop considering and book it now. It is the best decision you will make.

We pre booked with ARK Sailing, cannot recommend them highly enough. It’s a husband and wife operation, small numbers (only 14 people) food was delicious, their service was amazing, we visited some private beautiful beaches where there were no other boats or people. When we arrived at Kleftiko Beach we noticed we were doing other activities that no other boats were doing, we swam through the caves, jumped off the cliffs. It truly was a wonderful day. They provided information and commentary and history on every place we visited. Thank you Nikos and Marion for your warm hospitality we had the best day.

We thank Marion and Nikos for a wonderful day on their boat. Everything was perfect both in terms of meals and swimming proposals. Nikos is an excellent Guide (we recommend the rock diving session). Marion is French and made us discover with passion the charms of her island. Through a subtle organization we let you discover we are always comfortable on their boat.
We recommend.

That may be a long trip to bring an infant. We were on the boat for 9 hours. There wouldn't be much to do for the baby and some of the waves were pretty rough and may be unsettling for an infant. In addition, you'd be in the sun for long stretches or you'd have to spend most of the time underneath the deck in the area below which may not be very fun or interesting and definitely more uncomfortable if there are waves.
