Koufonisia — a private sailing day from Naxos
Just your group, Annabella, and a captain who grew up between these islands. Swim at the bays only reachable from the water; lunch where the fishermen eat.
Everything on board, everything in the price.
Private use of the yacht, your captain, and a day built around your group.

A typical 10 hours.
Your captain adjusts for wind and sea in the morning — the shape stays the same.
- 09:00
Cast off from Naxos
A longer day begins. Coffee on board, a briefing, and we head south-east.
- 11:30
Pori beach
One of the finest swimming spots in the Cyclades. We anchor offshore and spend the morning in the water.
- 13:30
Kato Koufonissi for lunch
A small taverna run by a family that's been here longer than the ferry. Simple, brilliant, entirely the right thing.
- 15:30
Italida
A long stretch of pale sand. Another swim, another snorkel, more quiet.
- 19:00
Back to Naxos
Return under sail. A longer day than the shared tours; you'll feel it, in the best way.
Routes finalise each morning based on the meltemi. We prioritise comfort and safety — and the better bay.
Three promises we hold ourselves to.
We'd rather cancel than push a bad-weather day. You'd rather book knowing that.
Up to 48 hours before departure.
If we cancel for weather, you’re refunded in full.
No middlemen, no booking fees, deal with the captain.
What it actually looks like.
What people say.
Koufonisia was the highlight of our Cyclades trip. The ferry crowd never found the beach we had for most of the afternoon. The captain knows every bay — it shows.
Everything was thought through — the photographs they sent us afterwards were beautiful, the swim gear was perfect, the taverna recommendation was spot on. A grown-up day at sea.
€1,400 per boat
- Instant confirmation
- No booking fees
- Weather refund if we cancel
- Free cancellation up to 48 h
Common questions.
How flexible is the route?
Very. This is your day. We'll suggest a typical route, but if you'd rather skip Kato Koufonissi for a longer swim at Pori, we'll do that. The only fixed things are weather and daylight.
Can we customise the day for a celebration?
Yes. Anniversaries, proposals, family birthdays — tell us in advance and we'll bring the right small touches on board. Nothing showy, just considered.
Is the price per boat or per person?
Per boat, up to eight guests. The price you see is the private charter for the whole yacht.
Secure your day at sea.
Private charters fill earliest — especially in July and August.
