Salty Cruises is a Paros-based boat operator offering curated sea excursions around the Cyclades.
Operating from Paros, Greece, the company runs a fleet of two boats — Andromeda and Kima — that host sunset cruises, private half-day trips, and full-day explorations. Trips include visits to the Blue Lagoon, Marcelo Bay, the Gulf of Feira, the sea caves of Antiparos, and the beaches of Despotiko Island.
Each outing emphasizes relaxation, scenic swimming and snorkeling, and local hospitality. Guests can expect light bites and refreshing cocktails on sunset cruises, and homemade meals on selected half-day and full-day departures. Several itineraries include guided swims and opportunities to explore sea caves and secluded coves.
Salty Cruises offers both shared and private options to suit couples, families, and small groups seeking a tailored Aegean experience. Private half-day cruises focus on intimate exploration of nearby bays, while full-day cruises extend to Antiparos and Despotiko for more extensive sightseeing and beach time.
Safety and local knowledge are central to each trip: captains navigate familiar routes around Paros and adjacent islands, choosing sheltered anchorages for swimming and dining. Reservations can be made in advance for seasonal departures during spring, summer, and early autumn.
Salty Cruises places emphasis on genuine island hospitality, clear waters, and memorable sunsets. Visitors looking for scenic coastline views, comfortable boats, and curated island stops will find a straightforward, reliable option for discovering Paros and nearby Cycladic highlights. Bookings accommodate dietary requests and small group preferences when noted at reservation time, subject to availability and seasonal schedules.
