Yes, we have brand new rib speedboats that allow us to safely offer island transfers. We can take you to any island in the Cyclades region starting from Paros, Naxos or Antiparos. Please send us an email with your specific request at [email protected].

Each Boat Tour has a different duration. Private Half Day Tours last about 4 hours, Private Full Day Tours last 7 to 8 hours and Private Sunset Tours last 2 to 4 hours. 

There is proper time for swimming, snorkelling, relaxing, sunbathing and enjoying the water in both options. The main difference between a Half Day Tour and a Full Day Tour with Cyclades Charters is that in the Full Day Tour we can make a stop at Antiparos Town, where you can walk around the picturesque alleys and enjoy a lunch break.

Our primary bases are in Naousa, Paros and Agia Anna, Naxos. However, we are all about flexibility and your comfort:

From Paros: Our main meeting point is the picturesque harbor of Naousa. On windier days, we may move the pickup to Pounta Port to ensure a smoother, more comfortable departure.
From Naxos: We typically depart from the beautiful pier at Agia Anna.
Custom Pickups: If a different location better suits your plans, we are always happy to discuss a custom pickup point to make your day as seamless as possible.
Pro Tip for Half-Day Charters: For our Half-Day itineraries starting from Paros, we strongly recommend departing from Pounta Port. It is the most efficient gateway to the hidden gems of Antiparos, meaning you spend less time traveling and more time swimming in crystal-clear waters.

Besides your swimsuit, we recommend  bringing a high-SPF sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and towels. We provide snorkelling gear and floating devices. Don't forget your camera or phone.

We use rib speedboats. This type of boats ensures a smooth and safe ride. The big rubber band around the hull of the boat absorbs most of the vibrations created when navigating. For group sizes up to 5 people our medium sized speedboat named "Grateful" is used. For group sizes between 5 and 8 people our big sized speedboats "Aegean Marvel" or "Deus" are used. There are detailed photos in the Gallery section of our website.

In all our Tours we serve free of charge freshly made delicacies (local cheese, cherry tomatoes and breadsticks), soft drinks, beer and wine.

There is a bimini top on our boats, ensuring protection from the sun. Please bring a hat and high-SPF sunscreen.
