Everyone on the boat had a relaxing time with a heart lunch, with plenty of variety, even for the fussy eaters. We snorkelled at every stop and the guide/commentary was the perfect mix of smart and cool-girl funny. My…"

GetYourGuide lists the exact inclusions on the booking page — typically snorkel gear and life vests, drinks (often open bar), light food or lunch on the longer trips, and crew. Hotel pickup is sometimes included depending on the operator. Check the operator's inclusion list before booking; this comparison page surfaces the headline product, not every detail.
This tour starts at From $110 per person on GetYourGuide on our last refresh. Prices vary by date, season, and group size, and private-charter options are priced by the boat rather than per head. Click the Book button to see live pricing for your dates.
Most tours on GetYourGuide offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure. Look for the cancellation policy on the GetYourGuide tour page before booking — it's flagged prominently on the offer card.
You don't need to be a strong swimmer — operators provide life vests and snorkel gear, and the crew watches the water at each stop. If you have specific concerns, message the operator through GetYourGuide before booking; they reply within hours.
Typically local rum, beer, soft drinks, and water — unlimited during the cruise. Premium spirits are usually a paid extra. Pace yourself: wind and sun hide intoxication and the deck moves.
May – October (peak July–August). Shoulder months (april, may, october (lower prices, smaller crowds)) are the best-value window — smaller crowds, lower prices, mostly the same conditions. Avoid november – march (most operators reduced or paused).
10 % cash; service sometimes included on private charters. Cash to the captain at the end of the trip — they share with the deckhands. Service is sometimes included on private charters; check the booking confirmation.
You charter a sailing catamaran (typically a Lagoon 42-50 or Bali 4.x) for 4-14 days with a captain (skippered charter) or, if you have an ICC / RYA Day Skipper certification, bareboat. The boat moves between islands at 6-8 knots; you sleep on board between 4-12 guests. Typical Cyclades loop: Athens → Kea → Kythnos → Serifos → Sifnos → Milos → Santorini. Best window May–June and September.
