I really can’t recommend Rib Adventures and Aegean Marvel higher. I booked a surprise private tour of Poliegos and Kimolos from Platy Yiaros and knew immediately that from the moment I contacted them, I was making a very good decision. Giorgos was genuinely very helpful in his advice as well as through organising and sorting taxis to and from the hotel which were reasonably priced given we were staying on the other side of the island.

John and Giannis were absolutely fantastic company, extremely skilled seamen and made my wife feel very special right from the start. Their attention to detail, fascinating insight (politics, history, climate) and eye for the best spots all led to us genuinely having one of the best days of our life – and the beers on board were also great! There’s a selection of tours available but having discussed it through with Giorgos and reading through reviews, I decided this was the right one for us – never did I feel pushed into going for a more expensive tour.

The boat itself is impressively powerful (yet smooth) and the ‘premium seats’ at the front give you a real exhilarating adventure. The hidden beaches, coves and lagoons are stunning, you’d be hard pushed to find clearer waters in the Med. Thank you again as well for returning my wife’s clothing to the hotel – it wasn’t expected but you guys really went above and beyond for us and also for sending us the pictures you took which helped us capture and remember that very special day!

We loved Sifinos and will 100% return. When we do, I know the first tour I am booking up!

My mother and I booked a day tour with Captain Yiannis and his first mate while in Sifnos to go to Polyaigos and Kimolos. From the first moment we stepped on the pier, Yannis and his first mate did absolutely everything in their power to make the experience unforgettable. From offering to play music of our choice to telling us about the history and mythology of the islands to just sharing personal stories, they put so much effort and passion into what they do. We made a total of 7 stops: 5 swimming/snorkeling/beach stops, a FABULOUS restaurant in Kimolos for lunch (some of the best food we had the entire three weeks we spent in Greece), and then a final swimming stop before taking us back to the harbor. Each stop was more beautiful and spectacular than the one before it. Captain Yiannis was so personable and professional and I truly believe that taking the trip with him versus another tour company made the day extra special. We enjoyed our time with him so much. He is also incredible skilled at what he does- on the way back to Sifnos, the water was pretty choppy and my mother is not the strongest swimmer in stronger currents and she said afterward that if it hadn't been him at the helm, she would have been nervous about her safety. Thank you to Rib Adventures for the absolutely wonderful experience! We can't wait to sail with you again.

Giannis and Nikos have us the most perfect boat tour around Sifnos, we learnt so much and got to enjoy swimming in some amazing protected coves thanks to their knowledge of the islands we visited. They were both very welcoming and hospitable and could not recommend them highly enough to anyone who wants to get out and see some of the islands around Sifnos. Great music choices from Giannis too 😀.

Thank you!

Giannis and Aggelos were a fantastic crew for us. First they provided us a private transfer from Paros to Sifnos. Lower priced than any other company and a fantastic experience. So fast and easy.

Then we did a full day with them on a tour of Poliegos and lunch on Kimolos. Poliegos is the largest uninhabited island in the Aegean and was incredible. We were lucky to go on a day with little wind so we got to explore parts not normally available to see. Giannis was awesome with lots of information when we asked questions. Aggelos was the perfect captain mate, providing us fresh fruit and drinks whenever we wanted. They booked a fantastic Taverna on Kimolos for us to eat lunch.

The day finished with a golden hour swim back on Sifnos in a bay with literally not waves, a crystal clear swimming pool. Spot after spot we went to were so incredible, it was hard to believe each one was so amazing. And almost deserted but for a few other boats.

I’ve done boat trips all over the world, including many times in Greece and I have never experience a day more incredible and fun than this day with Giannis and Aggelos.

An excellent adventure jumping waves in the Rib Extreme. The captain attacked the waves from different angles and explained the different sensations. Afterwards we picked up the rest of my family to enjoy the sunset from the boat in a quiet cove. The Captain had a great knowledge of the history of the Greek islands. Would highly recommend this for the adrenaline junkie.

A great (only?) way to visit many of the more private beaches/coves. Our captain and mate were interesting, shared a lot of local knowledge and were very easy to talk to. Highly recommend, note that there is not much cover from the sun on these boats so prepare accordingly. Also, if you go when it's windy it will be a rougher ride but they are incredibly experienced and veyr sensitive to your comfort so don't skip it!!

My partner and I had the most fantastic time with Giannis and Kritsin on our private boat trip to Poliegos and Kimolos . Both were incredibly accommodating always offering us any opportunity to go for a swim in the most stunning of places. We saw all the colours the Aegean has to offer along with a variety of deserted beaches and coves. Luckily we were the only tourists around due to the late season visit in the first week of October. We created awesome memories thanks to them; an ABSOLUTE must!!!!

We had an amazing day with Captain Yannis and the Captain’s mate, Kristen!
They took us to Peliagos and Kimolos, ending the day in Fikiada, a beach only reachable by sea in Sifnos.
What an amazing day!
Turquoise-blue sea, secluded beaches with olive trees, rocks and a couple of goats as only companions, the nicest little port you would ever see at Elephant beach...
A marvelous trip! A great captain, piloting the boat surfing the waves and avoid a bumpy ride, and the most caring mate you could dream of, offering you drinks and fruits along the way.
Highly recommend!

Great attention to timing and our comfort on the "James Bond option" for getting from Milos to Sifnos (the ferry was the alternative). Giannis and Maximus took us on a sunset cruise .Though it was an expensive trip (because the ferry timetable did not work for us) and the sea was choppy we arrived neither shaken nor stirred at our fabulous holiday destination!

Amazing afternoon with Captain John & Nick. Showed us many different spots and tried to cater to everyone's tastes on the boat (some wanted caves and snorkel, others wanted calm turquoise water and sandy beach).
He was also great at sharing some of the history of the islands. Highly recommend.
