While exploring the peaceful, unspoiled south east Naxos onboard we want you to know: The fresh fish we serve onboard isn't just “local.” It's personal. Every morning, we get our catch from Captain Dimitris (galanogiannis_boat), a trusted fisherman who has worked hand in hand with us the last three years and without whose help and support serving fish onboard would not have been the same. No middlemen, no frozen shipments, just what the sea offers to Captain Dimitris that day, respectfully taken and lovingly prepared for you to enjoy on deck, surrounded by the same Cycladic waters it came from. Everything we cook and serve is bio, real, seasonal, and full of flavor. We hand-harvest sea salt from the rocks near Panermos, gather wild capers and pick lemons and oranges from our family’s garden trees. We collect and dry oregano and other herbs and we produce and use only our own olive oil. Most of the things you taste, if not everything, are locally sourced. Savor the journey with us!

What To Expect
Paralia Panormos
From Panermos Bay, heading to the mystical Rina's Sea Cave, indulge in the finest authentic flavors with a Naxian private chef on board as you sail and explore South East Naxos like a local on a traditional wooden "Varkalas" boat. Every dish served is carefully crafted using fresh, locally sourced fish and ingredients, highlighting the flavors of Naxos. From expertly grilled seafood and seasonal vegetables to self harvested sea salt and capers, dining onboard offers the ultimate combination of savoring the sea, right on the sea.
Naxos
We'll cruise past and stop at a series of natural, secluded bays, rich with history and authentic Cycladic charm and we'll also anchor in Rina's cave beach, where you’ll have the opportunity to swim inside the cave, explore its hidden natural water springs, or dive off the cliffs. We provide snorkeling gear and swimming aids for all levels, so everyone can enjoy the water safely and comfortably.

The BEST experience in Naxos!

5.00This was hands down the best experience of our trip. Myself and 4 friends booked this tour because it looked beautiful and sounded all-inclusive. What we got was so much more. We received a beautiful and comfortable vessel to sail around the gorgeous Naxos coastline, through gemstone-hued waters, to Rina's cave and more. We were also gifted with so much more. We received amazing hospitality from the entire crew but mostly its bright, knowledgeable, inviting Captain. We were a group of women and men, all queer, and felt seen, safe, and welcomed — both part of their crew and they felt part of ours. We received beautiful photos from our Captain. We had an AMAZING lunch that spoiled all other food in Naxos for us. Freshly caught fish -- prepared to perfection -- the best greek salad I've ever had, the freshest figs (literally picked while we were on the tour), and the freshest sea salt (harvested themselves). The chef on board is a master chef and you should count yourselves lucky to get to partake. On top of all of that, we just had an amazing time! We kept saying how we wish we would've booked a whole day. We felt so taken care of, so welcomed. We saw and swam in some amazing waters. We learned so much. We made beautiful connections with the Captain and crew. Thank you so much! We WILL be back.
Perfect!

5.00I don't know where to start. It was one of the most beautiful experiences we ever had. The food was the best there is on all of Naxos! The girls are totally lovely, helpful and the boat is just a dream. This experience has charm, style and simply everything you could wish for. I don't want to give too much away but it's worth every penny.
Out of a 10-day vacation...

5.00Out of a 10-day vacation throughout Greece with fun-filled adventures, this trip was among the best and most memorable adventure I had. After a 1.5 hour drive through the mountains from the port of Naxos to the boat, we arrived to stunning blue water, friendly faces, and a beautiful traditional Greek boat. Chef Poppy and the captain for the day warmly greeted us, shared with us the plan, and we set out for Rina's cave, hugging the coastline along the way. We had unlimited white wine, a stunning swim in a private cove and then also in Rina's cave, and we returned to a gourmet lunch consisting of tartar, crudo, Greek salad, and cooked fish stew. The food was among the best and freshest we had in all of Greece. We were also able to play our own music on the provided speaker, which only added to the great vibes. I 100% recommend this trip without hesitation!
Absolutely unforgettable experience!

5.00From the start to finish, this was truly one of the most amazing dats we’ve ever experienced!! From the moment we arrived at this remote and breathtakingly beautiful spot, the crew was knowledgeable, sweet, very helpful and overall just lovely! And to top it off, the seafood was the best that we had on our entire vacation! I believe we had four different types of fish and the most amazing Greek salad we’ve ever had! I cannot recommend this excursion enough and what made it so special was the personal touches by the crew! !I’d give it 20 stars if I could!! You will not be disappointed!!
