About

Our aim throughout the day is to show our guests the beautiful nature of our area, with some drops of history and interesting local facts, while experiencing the famous Greek ambiance and hospitality (Filoxenia) on board. All of these result in an unforgettable experience, which is awarded the Certificate of Excellence on TripAdvisor every year since 2012. The itinerary is designed to avoid long cruising distances, allowing you to spend most of the day swimming, exploring, or simply relaxing in the sun! Additionally, the times of arrival at each of our stops have been carefully chosen to avoid the crowds of other tour boats.

CAVE OF PAPANIKOLIS (30min)

We glide out of the harbor on route to the cave. Experience a unique, once in a lifetime opportunity to swim inside one of the biggest marine caves of Europe. On our way, you will also be able to enjoy the spectacular views on the islands of Cephalonia, Ithaca and the South cape of Lefkada

SPARTOHORI VILLAGE (1h30min)

Join us as we step back in time and explore the picture-postcard village of Spartohori on Meganisi Island, offering visitors panoramic views overlooking the bay and beyond. We provide a fully guided tour of the village and a visit to a beautiful Orthodox church, sharing insights on the local way of life and giving you the opportunity to observe age-old traditions. Spartohori also has a beautiful beach and picturesque harbour for anyone who would rather stay by the water for a refreshment or swim.

OUZO TIME

All aboard, it is time for some Lefkadian Ouzo with homemade olives, offered by the captain and crew!

KLIMAKI BEACH (2h30min)

It’s time to cool off in crystal clear waters in a deserted bay, just for us! A feast of locally grown food, served with free flowing Lefkadian wine and soft drinks. We pride ourselves on quality and provide alternative menus on request. With lunch over, it’s now time to unwind and rest under an umbrella, offered free of charge, or enjoy the beautiful waters. You can also make use of our masks, snorkels and beach games which of course are also offered free of charge. Direct access to the beach via ladder is guaranteed.

SKORPIOS ISLAND (40min)

Visit Skorpios, the private playground of Billionaires. Swim at the famous beach of Jackie Kennedy and see for yourself why the world’s richest and most powerful choose this area as their personal paradise.

MADOURI & THE PRINCE’S ISLANDS

All hands on deck to help Captain Gerry and crew hoist the magnificent 45 square meter sail. Take pleasure in the silence of sailing; just take it easy in the afternoon breeze as we head to Nidri, sailing through the magnificent island of Madouri and the Prince’s Islands.
