Overview

This is a fully private cruise — no shared groups, no fixed itinerary. The price covers your entire group (up to 8 guests), not per person. Just your party, your skipper, and the Ionian Sea entirely to yourselves.

Paxos and Antipaxos offer some of the clearest water in Greece, dramatic white cliffs, and villages untouched by mass tourism. Departing from Arillas Harbour (complimentary transfer from Elix Hotel/Karavostasi), choose between two itineraries.

The 4-hour Classic covers Voutoumi and Vrika beaches on Antipaxos — white sand, Caribbean-clear water — plus free time in Gaios harbour.

The 6-hour Premium adds the Blue Caves, Tripitos Arch, Erimitis Bay, and Lakka village.

Both operate aboard our Jeanneau Cap Camarat 7.5cc — 25ft, 250HP Suzuki, up to 8 guests.

Activity itinerary

Paxos

Embark on a classic 4-hour cruise to Paxos Island with flexible departure starting at 10:00 from your chosen location. The smallest of the Ionian Islands, Paxos is a rare and special gem - laced with silvery olive groves and lined with soft white chalk cliffs, along with clear aquamarine sea and pebble beaches that must be seen to be believed!

Lakka

Cruise towards Lakka, the second-largest village on Paxos Island. It is situated in the north part of the island and used as a port for boats, yachts, and sailboats. We anchor in the centre of the colourful waterfront village and make a quick stop for coffee/ice cream.

Γαλάζιες Σπηλιές

Sea caves on the dramatic west coast of Paxos where reflected light turns the water electric blue. One of the most photographed natural landmarks in the Ionian.

Antipaxos (Pass by)

Sail towards Antipaxos Island, where we make a stop at the charming beach of Vrika, known for the soft white sand and caribbean-esque, striking blue waters. Although a small island, it is endowed with outstanding beauty. The island of Antipaxoi (literally meaning “opposite Paxi”) lies at just 3 nautical miles from the port of Gaios.

Paralia Vrika

Antipaxos' second iconic beach, equally beautiful. Shallow, warm water and soft white sand.

Voutoumi Beach

1h
Admission ticket included

We continue our cruise and reach the crystal-clear waters of Voutoumi beach for swimming and snorkelling. Voutoumi is a nice, pebbled beach located on the north eastern side of Antipaxos Island. It is situated inside a large cove with high rocks covering both sides of the beach. The water here is shallow, ideal for all ages, while snorkelling near the rocks is a nice activity.

Mongonissi Beach

Cruise towards the island of Paxos and swim at Mogonissi, which is situated south of Paxos just 4 kilometres away from the capital, Gaios. What makes this small island so unique is the complexity of the landscape. It combines the wildness of a rocky scenery that one finds in the west coast together with the lush vegetation that surronds the east coast. Adding to that, the deep blue sea, the sandy beach and the impressive caves compose an ideal scenery. Paradise is a few minutes away as Mongonissi conects with the island of Paxos with a bridge.

Gaios

Our cruise returns once again to Paxos, where we’ll make a stop at the picturesque port of Gaios village. Gaios is the main port on Paxos, and is situated on the east coast of the island. On our way we’ll cross the stunning narrow channel between Mongoniss and the little round islet of Caltsonisi, cruising alongside the islands of Panagia and Agios Nikolaos. At the port of Gaios, we’ll have time to wander through the narrow streets of the charming village, visit countless souvenir shops, and enjoy a refreshing lunch at one of the many traditional tavernas – my favourite is Genesis – a small family-run restaurant with fresh seafood and local wine.The natural port of Gaios, resembles a fjord.
