Family owned and operated, that is truly AUTHENTIC! Great Cruise! - This ship holds a lot of people and they will fill it up. This is not a semi-private tour. With that said I recommend boarding early to grab a nice seat up top on a bench in the shade. I prefer small tours but still GREATLY enjoyed this one! It begins with a straight sail out to a semi-cove with beautiful water and some land to explore. There is plenty of room to spread out. You may also jump off of the ship. Noodles were provided for floating. We chose to explore some of the rockier coastline and enjoyed some private time looking at shells and natural salt formations. Be wary of when other passengers start re-boarding the ship for lunch. We were so far away we didn't hear any alert for lunch but saw everyone re-boarding. The family themselves serve you a nice traditional meal with a bar for purchasing alcohol if desired. The lemonade was good too! After lunch you are free to jump back in and enjoy the water some more. Once anchors are pulled you head straight to Delos where you can chose to debark for a self-guided tour or stay on the boat for another swim stop. We chose to tour Delos. Delos has an entrance fee but it was nominal. Out of all of the ruins we visited Delos was the most natural and unprotected. There is history everywhere, you are literally walking on clay pot pieces in the ground and can see full pots just laying out in the open next to you. I really enjoyed Delos and would recommend debarking to do this tour. After boarding the ship you are taken directly back to the dock. On the sail home they serve watermelon and their kids will entertain you on the top deck with some traditional Greek dancing! It was a memorable cruise!

The boat crew were... - The boat crew were incredible - their mantra was ‘make memories’ and they provided lots of opportunities to do so. Can’t credit the staff and crew enough.

So much fun! - This was such a great excursion! We started our morning with a beautiful ride out to Rhenia Island and got to swim for a little, pool noodles were provided. It was a bit cold out but so worth it. We were then provided with a delicious Greek lunch, plenty of wine, and a variety of non-alcoholic juices. Other alcohol was available for purchase. They took us over to Delos next where we were able to explore for about 2 hours and got some fresh fruit on our return to the boat. Our return trip to Mykonos was so fun with music and dancing. The only thing I’d change is that I would’ve rather seen Delos first and went swimming after as Delos was really hot to walk around, but I’m sure they have a reason I’m not aware of for the order of the trip. I’d highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great full-day excursion in Mykonos!

Great trip from Mykonos, highly recommend. - This was a great tour, the ship and crew were great. We really enjoyed the lunch. Snorkeling in Rhenia was so beautiful. We had no idea the archeological site on Delos island would be so amazing. It was hard climb, but worth it. It could not have been easier to get to, the pickup was right next to our cruise ship gate.

Fun, exciting, calming and cultural - The staff were more than helpful. Get prepared to get some splashes from the sea but tbh it only made the trip more fun! You got the vibe you were on a trip with some really honest kind people who’ve been doing this for years. They would check that everyone’s okay and comfortable and you have the option to continue swimming rather than seeing Delos, I’d say it’s worth it for sure though an hour and a half there gave us lots to absorb and felt like it was one of the best parts of our trip to Mykonos

Relaxing day on the waters - Great for the price, we did the second cove vs getting off at Delos, definitely worth it as the small cove was quaint and nice for sun bathing on the small beach or a refreshing dip. Food was decent, the kabobs were tasteful.

Don't book this trip if anything happens they will not return your money. - Avoid the blue boat at all cost! We were not able to attend the cruise because we got seasick when we contacted the company they told us there was nothing they could do and charged our card the card was charged not even 24 hours after we got off the boat it's like they wanted to take advantage... Almost a month and I am still trying to communicate with them. They are 0% cooperative and have no emotions to illness.
