Details
A private cruise is a perfect way to get the best of Milos! Having the luxury to make your own plan means being able to avoid crowds which is priceless, especially in high season!
Our cruises are normally from 10am to around 7pm. Nonetheless, since you will have the boat to yourselves you can start or return a bit earlier or later if you like.
As per the itinerary and stops you can plan this together with our skipper or just leave it to us since we know how to show our guests a good time. If you prefer sailing Milos or Polyaigos, just inform us and we will make it happen!
What to bring
Sailing with Polco is a carefree trip. You only need to bring your personal belongings; a swimsuit, towel, sunscreen, hat, and glasses to protect yourself from the strong Greek sun, and your cellphone/camera.
Our yachts are fully equipped with snorkelling gear but if you have your own mask and flippers you are welcome to bring them.
Early or late in the season, a light windproof jacket might help to warm you up when the sun starts dropping.
