Cruise overview

Set sail from Anavyssos on a fully private day cruise through the heart of the Saronic Gulf — three of Greece's most beautiful islands, one extraordinary day. With over ten hours at sea, this is not a rushed excursion. It is a genuinely unhurried journey through island Greece, designed entirely around you.

Your first stop is Poros — a lush, pine-covered island with a charming harbour town and some of the calmest waters in the Saronic Gulf. Settle in, take a swim, and feel the pace of the day slow down exactly as it should.

From Poros, you sail to Hydra — one of the most iconic islands in all of Greece. No cars, no motorbikes, no noise. Just cobblestone streets, neoclassical mansions, and a waterfront that has been drawing artists, writers, and travellers for over a century. Wander at your leisure, explore the port, or simply sit with a coffee and watch the world drift by.

Your final stop is Aegina — famous for its pistachios, its magnificent Temple of Aphaia, and its laid-back island atmosphere. Browse the waterfront, pick up local produce, and enjoy the warmth of a place that still feels genuinely Greek.

Throughout the day, your private boat is stocked with wine, water, and light snacks — because the best days at sea should never go thirsty. Swimming stops are built into the journey whenever the mood strikes, and your captain adapts the itinerary to the conditions and your preferences on the day.

This is private cruising as it should be — no strangers, no fixed group schedule, no compromise.

Suggested itinerary

08:30 - Embarkation from Anavyssos

Your private day cruise to Poros, Hydra & Aegina from Athens begins at Anavyssos, where your captain welcomes you on board for a smooth and relaxed departure.

Leaving the city behind, the experience shifts instantly from busy streets to open sea, fresh air, and the calm beauty of the Saronic Gulf.

With a full day ahead and three beautiful Greek islands waiting for you, there is no schedule to rush — only time to enjoy a truly private yacht experience designed around comfort, freedom, and unforgettable moments.

10.00 - Poros Island, first Stop at

The first stop on your Saronic Islands cruise is Poros, one of the most charming and green islands near Athens. Known for its peaceful atmosphere and crystal-clear waters, Poros is the perfect place to begin your island-hopping experience.

Your captain anchors in a quiet bay for your first swim of the day, where calm turquoise waters invite you in. Alternative, step ashore and explore the picturesque harbour town, enjoy a traditional Greek coffee by the waterfront, and experience the slower rhythm of authentic island life.

12.00 - Hydra Island - The Jewel of the Saronic Gulf

Next, your private cruise arrives at Hydra, one of the most iconic and exclusive islands in Greece. Famous for its unique beauty, Hydra is completely car-free — no traffic, no noise, just elegant stone mansions, narrow cobblestone streets, and a timeless atmosphere that feels untouched by modern life.

This luxury island destination has attracted artists, writers, and international travellers for decades. Walk through the beautiful harbour, discover hidden alleys, enjoy lunch at a seaside restaurant, and experience one of the most unforgettable day trips from Athens.

15.00 - Aegina Island - Ancient History & Local Flavour

Your third destination is Aegina, a vibrant island known for its rich history, famous pistachios, and authentic Greek character.

As one of the most popular islands close to Athens, Aegina offers the perfect mix of culture and local charm.

Visit the lively harbour market, taste fresh pistachios directly from local producers, or take a short drive to the magnificent Temple of Aphaia, one of the best-preserved ancient Greek temples in the country. From here, the panoramic views across the Saronic Gulf are simply unforgettable.

18.30 - Return to Anavyssos, Athens

As the boat returns to Anavyssos, you arrive back in Athens relaxed, sun-kissed, and carrying memories from a truly exceptional day at sea.

Three beautiful Saronic Islands, hidden swimming spots, authentic Greek experiences, and the comfort of a fully private yacht charter create the kind of luxury day trip that stays with you long after your holiday ends. Your captain is there for a final farewell - and whenever you are ready, Athens welcomes you back.

Worth every penny

We did this cruise as a family with two teenagers and everyone loved it. Hydra was our favorite — no cars, just donkeys and beautiful streets. The whole experience was stress-free and well-organized from start to finish

Memorable experience!

I had only two days in Athens and chose this cruise for one of them — best decision of the trip. Three islands in one day sounds rushed but it was perfectly paced. Aegina's pistachio market was a lovely surprise. Our guide was knowledgeable and made the whole journey so enjoyable

Hydra - Poros - Aegina cruise

Hydra alone is worth the trip. No traffic, no noise — just stunning architecture and crystal-clear water. We had enough free time at each island to explore at our own pace, which we appreciated. The private arrangement made it feel exclusive and personal rather than a crowded group tour

An unforgettable day on the water

We were a group of six friends celebrating a birthday and this cruise was the perfect way to spend the day. The Saronic Gulf views were breathtaking, the food at the local taverna in Poros was delicious, and Aegina's temple of Aphaia was an unexpected gem.
