Boarding a brand-new catamaran off Platis Gialos, the sea opens in a hard blue that pushes against the hull and invites you west toward Rhenia. Sun-beds and shaded lounges promise slow hours; a crew of three smooths every transition from cast-off to anchor drop. The engine hums, the coastline of southern Mykonos tightens into limestone cliffs, then opens to the shallow bays around Rhenia where the water turns an audacious aquamarine.

Conservation
Anchoring in seagrass meadows can damage posidonia beds—choose operators who anchor in sandy areas and use moorings where available; limit single-use plastics aboard.

Protect your skin and lips
Use reef-safe sunscreen and a wide-brim hat; the Aegean sun is intense and reflection off the water magnifies exposure.
Bring a dry bag
Store phones, passports and extra layers in a dry bag—wet decks and swims make this essential for peace of mind.
Time your swim
Choose morning or late-afternoon for calmer seas and better underwater visibility when snorkeling.
Motion-sickness prep
If you’re prone to seasickness, take preventative medication before boarding; the open Aegean can get choppy with meltemi winds.

Protects skin while avoiding harm to marine ecosystems during swims and snorkeling.
