Spend a full day aboard a semi-private luxury yacht through the Saronic Gulf, stopping to swim and snorkel at Metopi and Moni, and to explore Aegina and Agistri. Expect a chef-prepared Greek lunch, onboard drinks, and easygoing island time from Marina Zeas.

The yacht slips away from Marina Zeas at first light, Athens shrinking into a glint on the horizon as the Saronic Gulf broadens into blue. Salt air pushes at your face; the deck hums with quiet activity—coffee steaming, the crew readying lunch, towels spread on sun pads. By mid-morning the hull rocks gently in a sheltered cove off Metopi and the ladder drops: the water dares you to dive in.
