5.00Great day to swim and see the temple of Apollo and meet people. Clean bathroom, and awesome hosts. Lunch was a light, simple but perfect amount for the time. Loved it.
Fun day in the sun on a great boat

5.00I had the most amazing day on this boat and with this incredible crew. Galatea is a beautiful old wooden vessel—full of character and charm—and truly part of the whole experience. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out, relax, take a nap, read, or just enjoy good conversation without ever feeling crowded. The atmosphere on board was relaxed and generous, with plenty of food and drinks throughout the day—including wine, beer, and a celebratory ouzo at the end. One of the highlights was swimming together to Despotiko, everyone bobbing along with pool noodles, slowly making their way across the clear blue water. As we began our walk to the temple of Apollo, we suddenly heard little voices behind us—turns out the captain’s two young sons (around 8 years old) had swum across on their own to join the group. They proudly became our little tour guides, and it added such a sweet, personal touch to the adventure. By the end of the day, it felt less like a tour and more like a family outing—a truly special, one-of-a-kind experience I can’t recommend enough.
Sights were beautiful,...

3.00Sights were beautiful, food was alright, tour guides were bothered. I was looking forward to this boat tour but when we got on the boat the tour guides acted like they couldn't wait to go home. They did not explain any of the islands we stopped at, I used google maps to understand where I was. The captain was watching Facebook videos the entire time and was bothered when you engaged him. Also the itinerary on Viator for this is wrong, if says you will go to the caves on Anti Paros, but you don't. If you're looking for a fun party atmosphere, don't go with this tour.
A Day Well Spent!

5.00We enjoyed every minute of this excursion! The crew (the caption & Fabio) was very friendly, dependable, and funny. Every stop was stunning. The boat was comfortable and the bathroom was tidy. Our snacks and lunch were delicious. It was nice that the boat had some areas that were covered, in case you wanted to be in the shade or sheltered from wind or splashes.
Great time, but a few hiccups...

4.00The operator was very friendly and easy to communicate with prior to and during the excursion. The crew on board was friendly and helpful, and there was plenty of food, beer, and soda. In all, it was a fun and enjoyable experience. Words of caution though: Do you homework ahead of time on weather. We were very disappointed that the crew convinced us not to go to Despotiko and the Sea Caves of Antiparos because of "wind and cold water", only to hear from our neighbors at the hotel that they went with another boat operator and the wind and water were just fine. Our other neighbors were on this same tour the next day, and we warned them about this. Sure enough, they were given the same story about wind and cold water. Only, they insisted on going anyway and discovered the same calm and warm water. We actually rented our own boat the day after, and discovered the same thing once again. Also, they do not have snorkeling equipment. They do have a few masks, but no snorkels or fins. When we asked, they said it was because they were not allowed to once COVID came around. Luckily, we had our own snorkels and masks, but would have liked to use some fins though. Aside from this, the boat is very nice, comfortable, and overall a pleasant experience.
