● Why book through us

Better than Sailogy, Don Blue, or Click&Boat?

Two pickup points = better routing. Naousa is the northern port, ideal for Mykonos-direction trips. Alyki marine is south, ideal for Antiparos and Despotiko trips. We route you to whichever pickup matches your destination — saves an hour of boat time vs. picking the wrong port.

Antiparos expertise. The Blue Lagoon at Panteronisi (between Antiparos and Despotiko) is Paros's most-photographed swim spot. Most operators visit it — but the timing matters. Best between 10am-1pm before afternoon winds. We brief our skippers to time it right.

Quieter Cyclades access. Paros is the natural gateway to Koufonisia, Schinousa, and Heraklia — the "Small Cyclades" that most tourists skip. These are full-day routes, only practical with the right boat. We can route you there.

Common questions.

Should I depart from Naousa or Alyki?+

Depends on where you're going. Naousa (north Paros) is best for routes heading north or east — Mykonos, Naxos, Tinos. Alyki (south Paros) is best for Antiparos, Despotiko, and Blue Lagoon trips. We'll match your departure point to your route when we route the inquiry.

What is Despotiko / Panteronisi / Blue Lagoon?+

Three names for the same general area. Despotiko is an uninhabited island just west of Antiparos, accessible only by boat. Panteronisi is a tiny islet between Antiparos and Despotiko with a shallow turquoise channel — the 'Blue Lagoon.' Most Paros boat trips include this stop. See the dedicated Blue Lagoon page.

Can I do a day trip from Paros to Mykonos?+

Yes, with a fast RIB or motor yacht. Roughly 1-1.5 hours each way. Most full-day trips include 4-5 hours at Mykonos (south coast and Delos/Rhenia) plus the round-trip transit. €1,500-2,800 for the boat.

How does Paros compare to Mykonos for boat rentals?+

Paros is roughly 25-30% cheaper than Mykonos for equivalent boats and skippers. Less peak-season demand, fewer luxury yachts, but also fewer crowds. If you're price-sensitive but want the same Cycladic experience, Paros is the smarter base.

Are catamarans available?+

Yes — both shared catamaran day cruises (€110-160 per person) and private catamaran charters (€2,000-3,800 for the full boat). Shared cruises depart Naousa most days in season. Private charters can leave from either port.

Can we do a self-drive boat without a license?+

Yes for small motorboats (up to 30hp). You get a basic safety briefing, and the rental shop briefs you on routes you can safely take. Best for couples or families exploring Naousa Bay or the Antiparos channel on calm days. For anything more powerful, you need an ICC or equivalent license.

What's the difference between a catamaran day cruise and a private RIB charter?+

Catamaran = shared group experience, slower pace, roughly 25-30 people on board, lunch included, fixed itinerary, lower per-person price. Private RIB = your group only, fast and flexible, customize the route, higher total cost but lower per-person if you have 6-8 people.

Is there a sailing license needed for any of this?+

Only for bareboat charters (where you skipper the boat yourself). All boats with a skipper provided are license-free for guests. About 95% of our Paros bookings are skippered.
