Incredible experience.

5.00Superb experience that we chose to conclude our stay in Athens. The barbecue was delicious, and George the Captain was very nice. What we appreciated less: the somewhat outdated snorkeling masks and the fact that we chose the French language for the audio guide during the booking, and the crew did not speak a word of French... Otherwise, everything else was excellent.
It was great! Very nice crew

5.00The tour was chill. We docked and swam. The food was absolutely great! We were with another small group. We had time by ourselves and also did some chatting part of the time w the other group. The men running the boat kept making sure we had a nice time. They continuously asked if we needed anything. We took cool pics at sunset too

5.00An absolute great time on a traditional Greek wood boat with great food, hospitality, and vibe! George, Tina, and Mike hooked it up! Great prep information, Tina did a good job at giving us meetup location and host of the excursion! George did a great job at grilling, and taking us to our swim spot, while Tina and Mike prepped the sides! Easy coasting, and calm enough water to not worry about sea sickness too much!
Great Fun on a Boat

5.00The crew were really helpful, the boat was clean and comfie, plus the BBQ was good. 5 hours at sea, saw some sites and ate food on the waves. There were 8 people on our trip, so the boat didn't feel full and there was lots of room to.mive around. Plenty of free drinks, including alcohol, as you wanted. Really enjoyed the trip and recommend.
Definitely a "don't miss" activity

5.00This excursion was amazing and utterly breathtaking! We set sail to a beautiful spot with crystal clear blue waters and jumped into the ocean from the ship... which was a classic wooden Greek sailboat! While we swam, the crew prepared a classic Greek BBQ of souvlaki, grilled vegetables, and unlimited white wine!!! After our first stop, we headed to a secluded island where only wild rabbits live. We snorkeled and explored caves underwater with equipment they provided! Then, we set sail back to the pier as the sun was sett.ing and got the most amazing pictures of the Athenian Riviera!!! I highly recommend taking this tour with Christina, as she told us the history of all the Greek isles and made this experience even more amazing!!!
